Question : Building OLAP cubes to analyze data better using SQL Server 2005

I am having trouble setting up an OLAP cube for a certain application. End users are complaining that it takes to long to retrieve data. So I looked into an OLAP cube.

In the end I have two tables.
Table 1:  TagList
Table 2:  Values for each tag at 10 second intervals. Time is stored in integer format.
Table 3: Qualities telling me if a value is bad or good.

I have 37000 tags. The end user wants to be able to find the tag quickly and get the following info:

Value at shift end, Min/Max value and time it occurred. Typically for the previous day.

I created an OLAP cube based on guidance from two articles that I found:

http://www.devx.com/dbzone/Article/21410
http://www.accelebrate.com/sql_training/ssas_tutorial.htm.

The OLAP cube used Value as a metric and Quality,Tag as a Dimension.

I used the wizards build into business intel studio.

The cube is still building. Its been 4 hours.

Is there I way to design a cube so that the cube can be built quickly and so that a user can go into excel and get the data they want easily?
