SmartView can be dumb

SmartView can be dumb

Content

Happy International Teachers Day!!

Teachers at my daughter's middle school did not get any recognition today.  That's sad!  Be sure to thank a teacher today. They are usually underpaid and under appreciated!

I want to thank all the amazing teachers here: TimG, John Goodwin, User1211, Glenn Schw. , Cameron and many others in this forum.

I'm sorry to say - SmartView can be dumb!

In the old excel add-in, I can type in a member name (e.g. Market) and it will retrieve.  In "Smart"view, that does not always work!  It's infuriating!

Why is it that, if I type in a member name e.g. "East Coast" and click SmartView's "Ad Hoc" button to retrieve data, not-so-SmartView will not recognize "East Coast"?  I have to go into Essbase tab's member selection to select "East Coast" , push that into Excel cell, then not-so-SmartV would retrieve data. In fact, in member selection, I can tell that SV is lost - as it does not bring up "Market" dimension for "East Coast".

Howdy, Stranger!
