Hi,

You are probably in the best forum here at MS.COM for this, but you might
try contacting the maker of Cognos directly.

You might look at this:

Great link, tx

It seems they created their own standard BI plugin instead of using
Microsoft Excel Pivottables. That makes me a little unsure
if they would support olap formulas. The new excel 2007 invention.

I will try askin them

Once again, tx
