Overview
What OLAP refers to
OLAP is a term used in data platforms and database engineering for storing, querying, modeling, or managing application data. In the ResumeITKeys dictionary it is associated with Databases. Its practical meaning depends on the system, team, and responsibilities described in a role.
A job description may mention OLAP in connection with data modeling, queries, migrations, performance, reporting, or operational reliability. Read the surrounding responsibilities to understand the expected depth of knowledge; its presence does not mean every employer requires the same experience.

How to include OLAP in a resume
List it in Skills when it is relevant to the role and you can discuss your level accurately.
Show practical use in an experience or project entry: state the task, your contribution, and evidence.
Connect it to a specific project instead of repeating the keyword without context.
Describe proficiency plainly, such as coursework, a completed project, or professional use; do not imply a certification you have not earned.
Use the job posting's wording only where it accurately describes your experience. Avoid keyword stuffing.
