Does anyone know how to make Airtable a Multidimensional Database?
Thank you.

I’m pretty sure this would be difficult to do. Airtable has a specific design [presently] and it’s not a cube-like (multi-dimensional) database.

I’ve transformed some large data sets into multi-dimensional format for inclusion in a BI system, but I’m not sure this addresses your question.

If you are asking…

Is there a way to integrate Airtable data into an existing multi-dimensional database system?

The answer is yes. OLAP and data warehousing platforms are designed to absorb many pipelines of data and the Airtable API is how it can participate as a contributor of data to these platforms.
