I have an excel spreadsheet linked to a cube "A". When we were ready
to release the next version of the data, I had to get rid of that cube
and replace it with cube "B" which contains data like cube A and
additional data. For backward compatability, I created a virtual cube
"A" (same name) pointing at cube B with a filter for the old data.

The problem is that the excel spreadsheet can't see a few of the
dimensions in the Virtual "A". It looks like the original dimeions were
created like this "Deal ID". The new cube was created like this "Deal
Id". So, are the dimensions really case sensitive? Is there a way
around this?

I tried changing the dimension names and rebuilt cube B, however, it
still doesn't work.

We'd like to be able to keep the exact same spreadsheets for the users.
Is this possible?

TIA,
Mike
