Hey! Great channel! I have a question about using drill-through in a report with cube functions vs pivot table. I've been using cube functions built on top of the cube generated from a PowerBI dataset and accessing that data via Get Data inside Excel. I build my pivot table to generate the correct syntax then convert the pivot to formulas and then I'm off and running. I've successfully built formatted financial reports using the model/measures that I've developed in PowerBI, but I was wondering if there was a way to add drill-through capability from a cell value containing a cube function? I've successfully maintained the DETAILROWS expression via Tabular Editor external tools on PowerBI desktop which has given me the ability to drill through into my pivot table values when I'm using a PowerBI measure stored on a measure table (no rows to drill through). But now I want to be able to drill through into the details from my cube function cells. I've seen a couple people using a right-click and then additional actions > Drill Through, but I think those cubes are built in SSAS and not PowerBI datasets. Is this possible?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Glad you've found my channel helpful 🙏 I've not heard of CUBE formulas allowing drill through, sorry. Have you considered setting up a separate sheets at the drilled through level of data you want to see and connecting it to a Slicer to allow the user to choose the items they want to see?

[@wayneedmondson1065]

Hi Mynda. Seems daunting at first. But like anything else in EXCEL, break it down to the components and it makes sense. Thanks for the lesson :)) Thumbs up!!

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Cheers, Wayne 😊

[@al3xj]

Thanks Mynda, however the use case is not clear to me from this video - where is the value? Now fully immersed in pivot tables and the calculations they bring, I don't want to go back to formulas - would this give faster creation of complicated formula we might have previously done in a calculated field or measure, but easier? And, in your example, I usually have ranges that extend into the future that update automatically when I paste new data with future dates in the 'data' tab for example - will we need to paste forward these formula then so that a date auto adds rather than it auto-updating as a pivot table would? Thanks as always

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Hi Alex, the value is that you can create a report that isn't restricted to a PivotTable layout and formatting. You don't need all the headers and bulk of a PivotTable and can add additional calculations to the CUBE formulas, which you can't do in a PivotTable value cell. I haven't tested them with dynamic arrays that spill for automatic updating of ranges, but it may work. Otherwise, you'd have to copy them across/down for the next month. I personally like CUBE formulas for headline type reporting where I only want one value here and there and don't want to build a whole PivotTable to extract it.

Mynda, I love your videos, but I'm not sure about the advantages in relation to a pivot table. From what I've seen, they seem quite similar, the only difference is that in Pivot tables we cannot make changes as you showed in this video using the Cube function. Is there something else I cannot see clearly?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

With CUBE functions you're not restricted to a PivotTable layout, so they're great if you want more flexibility in your report appearance. You can also add further calculations to the CUBE formulas, which you can't do in the PivotTable values area. And if you're pulling a load of single values from a model where you'd normally build a load of single value PivotTables, then you could more easily do this with CUBE formulas.

[@BDFiscus]

Do you know how I can retrieve the name of a cost center from its code with Cube fonctions please ?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

The easiest way to write the CUBE function is to build a PivotTable that displays what you want and then convert it to CUBE formulas.

[@wcthrill]

This is only for static data? If I update tables this wont 'refresh' like a pivot table?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Yes it will. If you update the source data for Power Pivot you can refresh the connection and PivotTables and it will feed through to the CUBE functions. Ideally, you should use Power Query to get the data to load to Power Pivot/Data Model which the PivotTables are built on.

[@garethwoodall577]

MOTH thank you for this session. Can I ask, if I had a few pivot tables but I wanted to use one slicer where the data related to a date table in the model but one of them didnt, could I use the cube feature to hard code the slicer reference and that would update both pivot types?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

No, the Slicer can only control PivotTables that share the same data mode/Pivot cache.

[@garethwoodall577]

@@MyOnlineTrainingHub would a data validated list filter pivots?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

No, data validation can't filter PivotTables or CUBE functions. You'd have to create your reports with SUMIFS etc. It'd be best to add your other data to the data model and create a relationship to the Slicers through dimension tables.

@@MyOnlineTrainingHub Yes indeed. I found that out myself, yesterday. I find it rather convoluted (…). My first solution was to use a DAX measure to CONCATENATEX all the unique values together with a “,” (and sort then, of course). Then in Excel simply call that measure as a VALUE and TEXTSPLIT it. Honestly that is way easier, IMO. Also, that total-on-top is not issue this way, and it can always be VSTACKed at the bottom (or HSTACK as the case may be). In general I find CUBE functions to be rather clunky to use and the fact that they do not uniformly vectorize in their scalar arguments doesn’t make it any easier. Then again it is a structured way of accessing the data model… :-)
