Difference between reporting and analysis in datawarehousing

.What is the difference between reporting and analysis in datawarehousing? Both are giving output with drill down(hierar开发者_Go百科chy) and i am feeling similar in the case of outputs.

They are distinct concepts.

First you analyze, then you report the results of the analysis. One is almost useless without the other. Analysis extract relevant information, reporting displays the information.

Data-warehouse reporting (or reports of any sort for that matter) stands for an output from the data-warehouse which can be BI dashboards, just row column reports or any sort of visualization of data. All these reports may or may not have drill downs.
