Show Cube in Excel interface

Post by EP_explorer »

Is it possible to create such thing.

In Perspective user clicks on button in Excel file and TM1 shows him a Cube View which has a form like presented in Architect or Perspective (I don't like Excel view formed by DBRW)

Well, Excel looks like Excel.
Did you try In Spreadsheet Browser as an Alternative?

As far as I'm aware although you can call server explorer from Excel via code there is no programatic interface to call a cube view (why, your guess as good as mine. I have wished for the ability to call a view and have it take focus many times). - Other than using SendKeys and due to differing security users might have and their own private views, then that route would be unpredictable to say the least, not something I would ever bother trying.

I guess you could embed an EV ActiveX control on a form and when loading the form pass in the datasource, database and view. That all certainly seems possible. whether it is worth the effort though...
