Excel Cube Formula Reporting Short Description:
Learn to build dynamic reports and dashboards with Excel CUBE functions FAST.
Excel Cube Formula Reporting Long Description:
If you use Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010 to analyze data from:
- Microsoft Analysis Services cubes
- PowerPivot for Excel
- Oracle OLAP (using Simba Technologies' MDX Provider
for Oracle OLAP)
- Teradata OLAP Connector
then read on to learn about one of Excel's best kept
secrets. You love the slice, dice, pivot and drill that
PivotTables afford but you are frustrated by their limitations
of placement and formatting (ever tried inserting a column in
the middle of a PivotTable or moving just part of it?). You
want to build reports that are dynamically linked to your
database but you want to place your report sections in the
worksheet precisely where you want them. The solution to your
problem is Cube Formula Reports. Still part of Excel, they use
CUBE functions that can be positioned almost anywhere in a
worksheet, just like any other Excel functions. And just like
Excel functions you leverage your existing Excel skills ; no
new products to learn. Data and presentation (your Excel
report) remain separated, drastically reducing the potential
for spreadsheet hell; report users that access a central
database all retrieve the same version of the truth.
