Retrieving a Range of Data
In a typical worksheet, you can select a range of cells by dragging the mouse across the worksheet.
You can also select a range of cells and tell Essbase to restrict the data retrieval to the selected
range in the worksheet. Retrieving a range of data is particularly useful in the following situations:
● A worksheet contains multiple reports.
● A worksheet contains extraneous information that is not supported in a formatted report
retrieval.
● You need to retrieve only a small subset of values from the server, thus dramatically
decreasing retrieval time for large datasets.
● You need to retrieve data to an area of the worksheet other than the first column.
As part of the default Essbase installation, the
Profit.xls sample file is provided that illustrates
how to retrieve a range of data.
➤ To view the Profit.xls file:
1 Select File > Open.
2 From the \AnalyticServices\client\sample directory, open the Profit.xls file.
Note:
Depending on how software is installed on your PC, the file may not be available or may be
located in a different directory. Contact the Essbase system administrator for the location of the
file.
As shown in Figure 107, when you open
Profit.xls, the range of cells from B2 through F9
has already been selected for you.
