IBM PLANNING ANALYTICS · CUBE VIEWS · EXCEL EXPORT

Export cube views to Excel.
One view. Multiple companies.

Need your IBM Planning Analytics analysis in Excel? Export the current cube view or generate multiple detail views using a context dimension. In the video, each selected company gets its own worksheet.

The short answer

Click Export in the cube view. Choose the current view or also select a context hierarchy, such as Company. Combine the worksheets in one Excel file and start the export.
