Decision Trees in SSAS2005 and Excel 2007

I have followed the data mining part of SQL Server since the release of SQL Server 2000 and bought MS official book. My attempts to learn more did not have the highest priority and I played with the decision tree algoritm, that is close to the analysis you do with ProClarity Decomposition tree. I have never seen the business use before the release of SQL Server 2005 and especially the data mining add in for Excel 2007.

During this year I have used the time series algorithm to do forecasts in Excel 2007 to make forcasts in my daily work. It is called forecast in Excel 2007 and is quite easy to use.

Have a look at Rafal Lukawiecki's great presentations. You can find the links on Vidas site here.
