K2's Powerful Reporting with Cube Formulas (2 hours)

$89.00

Course Description

The Excel Data Model (an OLAP cube) can be viewed as a multi-dimensional PivotTable. The intersections of the rows, columns, and other dimensions are summarized in the cube and can be extracted into a report using cube functions that specify the desired intersections. Hence, a PivotTable is not required to summarize and report data stored in the Excel Data Model. Excel has seven built-in cube functions for creating reports without using a PivotTable, while maintaining the ability to refresh a report as the underlying data changes. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to use cube formulas to produce dynamic formal reports from the Excel Data Model.

Major Topics

Overview of the cube functions available in Excel
Understanding the Data Model and how to specify an intersection
Building cube formulas that can be copied down and across
Creating reports using implicit and explicit measures
