Hi, 

Yes of course! 🙂 

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

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

    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.

      I actually had the same question. CubeView description includes some references to the selections, like |CVEntity|, |CVTime|. So would be really nice to have this option in the Excel AddIn. Is there another way to get a textline in the header like this?

       

      Thanks in advance

        I checked again, but it's actual the Page Caption that I would like to see as header in the Excel Add In for the report based on the cubeview.
