                                          | When you add data, all the aggregates are affected.  You will have to rebuild the cube.I'm not aware of any way to provoke a rebuild through a 'front end'.  Rebuilding a cube is an administrator function not to be lightly undertaken.A cube with Write Back capabilities may be usefull to you, but I don't know whether EXCEL pivot tables support it.  |
