The CUB file extension is a binary database file used by Microsoft Analysis Services, a component of Microsoft SQL Server. This type of file stores data in form of cubes. CUB files are created when someone designs an Analysis Services Cube, for example, in SQL Server Management Studio. The cube consists of dimensions and measures that can be used to analyze multidimensional data from one or more data sources. Measures are similar to columns in a table where the data is obtained from, but only contain analytic values as opposed to raw values.
CUB files come as part of a larger database platform developed by Microsoft. Aside from making analysis easier for users, these files can also be used to provide more comprehensive reporting on the data. For example, one might use CUB files to generate summary tables, as well as other types of report-like output.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions include .CME, .CMT, .CSM, .DDS, and .IC4. These extensions are used in various situations alongside the CUB file type.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CUB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CUB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CUB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CUB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CUB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CUB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CUB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CUB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CUB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CUB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
