XLTable is an XMLA-compatible OLAP semantic layer for big-data analytics. It is described as a way to provide self-service analytics on big data while remaining governed by IT, and it is presented as a drop-in replacement for Microsoft Analysis Services. The product is intended to let users explore shared metrics in Excel PivotTables or ask questions in plain language through AI, while the underlying warehouse remains the single source of truth.
The system supports ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, StarRocks, Trino, Greenplum, and DuckDB. Its model is to define metrics once under IT control, with fine-grained access, and then allow thousands of users to work from those definitions. The page says end users do not need SQL, and it emphasizes that there are no data copies. It also states that Excel connects live over XMLA.
XLTable is meant for organizations that have already invested in Excel-based reporting and big-data warehouses, including users coming from Microsoft Analysis Services. The page also calls out ClickHouse, StarRocks, and Trino users as a target group for adding a semantic layer. Deployment is described as inside the organization’s perimeter, and the site offers a 30-day trial and documentation.
