I am planning to create project in datawarehousing .
I am new to datawarehousing.
I already have raw data.But dont know how to start.
Any suggestions?

Thankyou in advance.

 
The best way to start, when new to Datawarehousing, is by reading a book (e.g. The datawarehouse toolkit by Ralph Kimball). And then try it out. Then if you have specific questions, reread the book (or an other book) and/or post them on a forum.

You start by identifying the facts (usually summable figures) and the dimensions (row- and columnheaders) of one single business area. Read that last again: one single business area.
Choose the business area with care! Don't take a too complex area (unless you opt to implement a part of it at first).

Simply put: reduce complexity.
