Default How to export cube meta data to Excel? - 08-08-2003 , 07:41 AM






Hi, I just saw a tool which extracts the cube's metadata
to Excel. The result is one summary table which shows all
the dimensions and then one table for each dimension. The
exported spreadsheet comprises all the settings which can
be set using the Analysis Manager. This was the good news.
The bad news is that I cannot remember the name of the
tool any more. Has anybody an idea how to do this? Any
help would be highly appreciated.
Thx a lot, Thomas

Thomas,
You don't need a fancy tool for this, just open the file
<installdir>\bin\msmdrep.mdb in Access or from Excel.

Perhaps some of these...

1) http://www.tomchester.net/articles_d...html#downloads - choose cube
documentation tool
2) I seem to recall that there is an example in this Accelerator application
as well that has more sheets - doesn't have the sheet on this machine -
sorry http://www.microsoft.com/solutions/B...datamodels.asp
