Group Columns/Excel Outline in Columns on Cube Views
Hello:
Has anyone had any success with grouping columns in a cube view in a report linked to excel, or grouping them as they export? Of course in the data explorer version you can use the tree ...
Hi James,
I did something similar lately.
Like you mentioned, I am not able to group Column as well.
But I am able to group Rows Dynamically by leveraging 3 components
1. Row member: member.Tree [I believe member.TreeDescendants also work]
2. Use RowE1IndentLevel + ExcelOutlineLevel in formatting
I have used following to make it dynamic
if (RowE1IndentLevel = 0) Then
ExcelOutlineLevel = 1
Else if (RowE1IndentLevel = 1) Then
ExcelOutlineLevel = 2
Else if (RowE1IndentLevel = 2) Then
ExcelOutlineLevel = 3
Else if (RowE1IndentLevel = 3) Then
ExcelOutlineLevel = 4
Else if (RowE1IndentLevel = 4) Then
ExcelOutlineLevel = 5
Else
ExcelOutlineLevel = 6
End If3. In Default Cube Formatting
ExcelExpandedOutlineLevelOnRows = 6
ExcelMaxOutlineLevelOnRows = 6 (6 is max)
As result, this is what you get in excel. best part if this is dynamic.
Hope this helps.

Hi James,
I'm trying your code but does't work for member expansion. I'm using A#acoount.tree.
Do you know a way to play with the ident level inside a tree?
Hi Carolina:
The code that aneupane references is not a member expansion, but rather, conditional formatting applied to a row with a .tree expansion, in addition to the default cube view formatting mentioned above. if you follow the steps, when you export the report to excel the outline levels will appear as mentioned. Let me know if that makes sense.
