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,
Kiran

Am converting an old Excel 2003 workbook to 2013. It has a pivottable which connects to an SQL Server table using OLAP query, and I've had to completely redo the PivotTable using an ODBC DSN to the data source, because the OLAP thing isn't working in 2013 for some reason, possible a Citrix issue.
I've converted the workbook to 2013 format and created a new pivot table from the same data source, but cannot get it to look right.
See the table created in 2003 versus 2013 in the link below
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MPOqE4Mj68flBz63yI7vbL6gXmMP1_dC7DPQ0oxS2Ao/edit?usp=sharing
The fields that are designated as 'rows' are appearing 'nested' in the 2013 table, whereas they appear as multiple columns in 2003. Also, you can filter on Doc Type in the 2003 table but not the 2013
The date field has been put as the column, and I've kind of worked out how to get it to split it by date (with some trial and error), but notice how in 2003 it shows the date of the month differently (i.e. the day's number only, not the day + the month, e.g. 1 instead of 1-Apr.).
Can anyone help?
In Excel 2013, the default layout of PivotTable is "Compact Form" (which you called "nested"). The layout in 2003 is Tabular Form and it is still available in 2013.
Click on the PivotTable
Go to PivotTable Tools (a tab on the top)
Design>Report Layout
Show in Tabular Form
Once you have change it into Tabular Form, "Doc Type" should display as an individual column and you can filter it.
*Order of rows and columns can be adjusted by dragging.
The format of data field can be modified in Field Settings. Right click on the desired cell, and look for "Value Field Setting".
I have an issue with a pivot table in Excel connected to a SSAS tabular model cube. For unknown reasons pivot tables based on this cube get corrupted sometimes. The displayed column and row labels don't match the by the user selected labels. Every time I refresh the pivot table the label’s gets mixed up even more. When I copy the pivot table into a new Excel-file the issue is solved. But I can't find the cause of the pivot table getting corrupted.
Has anybody encountered the same problem?
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
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).
Am just playing around with PowerPivot in Office 2013.
When i create model in PowerPivot it looks as below (with three tables)
and when i try to analyze the data in PivotTable it comes up as
it says Table1, Table2 instead Reseller Details, Calendar.
This works fine in office 2010 powerpivot it picks right table names.
Any clues?
Not sure why they changed it but I can't imagine it was on purpose.
If you are dead set on showing the model table name in the field list (and why wouldn't you be) then you need to change the name of the excel table itself as well which you can do in the 'Design' tab which appears when you are in the table itself.
Not ideal but at least there is a work around.
