OLAP Cubes

[Guest]

I am still relatively new to OLAP and just trying to get a better
understanding. If I have created an OLAP cube from my Access Database and it
is pulling into a PivotTable in Excel, is it possible to "pass" values back
to the Database without any additional programming or is just a one-way feed?

Secondly, does the information have to come back in a pivottable? I am
trying to create some reports and I seem to be very restricted with
pivottables.

Hi Steven,

Pivot tables are one-way. You can use VBA to pass data back to your access
db. If yo want to know more about that, check out Ole Erlandsen's site.

If you want to try something different to pivot tables, look at
