I was being interviewed for the position of SSAS 2005 developer. I got this contingent offer from one company who already had many of their consultants placed with the client. The whole interview lasted for around 20 minutes. The interviewer asked a few questions about my past experience and was generally pleased. He asked me about semi-additive measures and named queries in particular. I explained it correctly. I thought the interview went pretty well, but I did not get the offer. I believe he had already made up his mind before interviewing me because I don't recall any question that I couldn't answer correctly. I too didn't press the middle company as the job was a long commute.

What are semi-additive measures? Where are they used?

What are named queries?
