Can you use calculated fields in Excel 2007 pivot tables when the data source is an SSAS data cube?
I am connecting to a SQL Server 2005 data cube with Excel 2007 and viewing the data though a pivot table. I want to create calculated fields in my pivot table, but the ‘Formulas’ button is grayed out.
How do I do create calculated fields (if it is possible when connecting to a data cube) ?
Looks like you can’t. This is the answer I got from MSDN:
Not possible. All of the aggregations are handled by Analysis Services. Since XL is not in charge of the aggregations it has no ability to do custom calculations.HTH… Jim Thomlinson
