Visual Totals functionality when not using the MSOLAP provider

C

Chuck Heatherly

I support an OLAP OLE DB provider for a third party data source. I'm unable to
get the visual totals functionality of OWC10 or OWC11 to work with my provider.

When I bring up a web page with an OWC11 pivot table control and select Commands
and Options > Report > Visible Items only, OWC11 returns "The data source does
not support totaling only visible items".

Doing the same operation with the Analysis Services OLE DB provider MSOLAP.2
causes OWC11 to generate MDX using the VisualTotals function.

What does my provider need to surface so that OWC11 will generate MDX using the
VisualTotals function? My provider surfaces VisualTotals through the Functions
Schema Rowset. It also supports the property DBPROP_VISUALMODE.

Thanks,
Chuck
