问题
Is it possible to query a SQL Server Analysis Services cube using R? I have this cube on a different external Server and i am working from my machine but i have admin privileges on the Server with my domain account. To put it simply, i want to create an alaysis services solution, suing some mining algorithm to examine data cotained in the Cube. I can do that with Excel, for instance, but i need to use R to take advantage of several interesting clustering algorithms different from those MS offers. Is that possible? Which package should i import in R?

at the moment it's not available from CRAN, but maybe you will give it a try.
In the meantime you can also use an ODBC / OLEDB bridge and use the RODBC from inside R.
Hope this helps a little
