Excel add-in

Does anyone know how to have the CV description showing in Excel instead of the name? 

In my CV I have the name and description. And it's the description that is being used in the workflow. So it would make more sense for the users.

 

Best, Mette

    Can you describe more on this statement "how to have the CV description showing in Excel " ?  Where in Excel would you want to have description instead of name?

    Hi, 

    Yes of course! 🙂 

    Its when i´m adding a Cube view in excel. 

    Via the Cube view connections: 

    Then I see the name of the Cube view but I would like to see the description. 

     

     

     

    Best, Mette

      Mette - I suppose that would not be possible as it is a menu option.

      Suggestions-

      1. Change the CV name to match the description.

      2. Run the OS addin in developer mode to find the option for Cube view and chagne it to description instead of name.
