Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) is a query language for OLAP databases. It was developed by Microsoft but has later gained widespread support from other OLAP vendors.

What is MDX?

"Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) is a query language for OLAP databases, much like SQL is a query language for relational databases. It is also a calculation language, with syntax similar to spreadsheet formulas." Source: Wikipedia

It was originally developed as a language for Microsoft's OLAP engine (then called OLAP Services, now renamed Analysis Services) but has since been adopted by a wide range of vendors for use with their OLAP tools.
