I created a new measure in the SSAS cube which calculates the % difference in the amount and the format is set as "percent" in the SSAS solution. My front end is excel 2010, I already have the excel pivot table report ready with all the other fields that were created earlier.
My issue is when I refresh the excel report and pull the new measure, the values are not showing up as %.However, when I create a new connection and new pivot table report, it is showing up.
I tried to change the value field settings of the measure to percentage. But when I deselect the measure and select again, it is not preserving the %, it is showing as decimal number
Can anyone suggest a quick work around for this ?
Thanks

We seen to have a change how excel perform some MDX stuff. We create a pivot from on external SSAS tabular with the measure defined as :
PNLLEGACY1:=HASONEVALUE(PNLLEGACY[SubHeader]) ( DAX measure)
The screenshot of the result
As you can see there is no value on ellipse when the Collapse1 is expanded. When it’s collapsed, we got a value as you can see for example on Collapse2. If I expand Collapse2, the value will be blank on the line.
When I created the same on Excel 2010, I got a value when expanded. If I saved the file and refresh it with Office Excel 365 it works as expected (Same result as Excel 2010)
What is wrong? How can we get the same behavior as Excel 2010?
Thanks in advance
I will answer myself on the issue; I hope that will help.
By default Total are not displayed so we need enable then!
To do that got to Pivottable / design / Subtotals
And choose Show all Subtotals at Top of Group
Kind regards
I created an excel dashboard that is feeding on 100 pivot table and source data is approximately 700k and it will grow more every month.
In my dashboard, there are list boxes which are changing the source data and if source data changes, pivot tables are refreshing and the dashboard is filling with new values. I created this dynamic report because the users want to change something and see the results.
So, my problems are excel document is really high(160 MB), execution time (changing data source and refreshing pivot tables) is long and I am not sure whether excel can handle these data or not in the following days because the data is growing. Do you know any solution to maintain my report stably? I know R, Python, Access but I do not know the how can I create a dynamic dashboard in excel if the data is large.
I created MS Access table but as you see in the second pic I have a list box and this affect the source table of pivots. How can I send it the cell value to MS Access to calculate new column dynamically and after calculation change pivot and fill dashboard? In the third picture, you can see source data and calculated column in excel but I want to use this in the MS Access.

first time asking a question here. So I apologize in advance if I have not asked properly.
I have a set of data in the form of a table, which I have converted into a Pivot Table, with the normal purchase sales and profit columns. However, my problem arises as I want to create another column in the Pivot Table which gives the profit percentage on purchases. I am aware that this can be done by clicking on the Fields, Items & Sets drop-down menu under the PivotTable Tools - Analyze Tab, However, this doesn't work and all I can see is that the Calculated Field option is greyed out.
Can anyone advise how I can get a profit percentage column to be inserted in the pivot table? Thank you in advance.

It looks like your PivotTable uses an OLAP data source, which is why that option is greyed out. If you have the requisite version/SKU of Excel you could use the PowerPivot add-in to write a measure, but otherwise I think your only other option is to get your database admin to add the column to the database, and then bring that through to Excel.
I have used Power Pivot to create some calculated fields from a table of data.
Then I use the modified table, with the calculated fields to create some pivot charts back on the excel workbook.
In the same way I linked the original dataset (excel table) to Power Pivot, I would like to link the table in powerpivot with the calculated fields back to excel. Is this possible?
yoshiserry, the best way to share PowerPivot stuff is PowerView (Excel 2013). If you want to share just the table, regular Excel file should be fine -- people even without PowerPivot installed will be able to work with it (with some limitations).
I have a pivot table on excel which uses SSAS Cube. I have selected some report filter as well as some row labels.Later I changed the attribute relationships in the dimension.
I didn't change the names of the attributes of the dimension.
But now when I refresh my excel, all the report filters disappear.
As this excel is on the client site it would create a problem as they do not want to select the filters again.
The dimension still can be seen in the pivot table and has to be selected again.
Can anyone suggest what can be done?
Thanks,
