visual report in excel is disconnected from the Project plan

[nirit]

hello,
i've generated an excel visual report.
i open the excel, and get the message: "cannot connect to cube file..."
is there anyway to overcome that and reconnect to the Project program?
thanks,
Nirit.

Hi all.
i figured it out.
go to Visual reports tab. press "save data" and save cube file.
then connect the cube file you saved to the program. (with the wizard).

Hi nirit,


Thanks for the feedback. As I think this a Project Pro/Server problem, next time please try posting on the microsoft.public.project.server newsgroup (forum). Please see FAQ Item: 24.

Visual reports are part of Project standard aren't they?

Project server does have cubes, but the visual reports generate their own "cube" when exporting. That is what allows them to cross-tabulate. It might not be all that visible, but it underlies the reporting and it does not require project server.

Mike,

You can also save the data from the cube through Visual Reports,
Save Data button.
