database elements represented in the worksheet. The worksheet also retains labels in areas that
are not overwritten by pivoted data.
Note:
Essbase prevents pivot operations on worksheets that contain formulas when Formula
Preservation mode is active.
As part of the default Essbase installation, the
Inv.xls sample file is provided which illustrates
how to pivot data in a worksheet. The sample file was saved with the Retain on Retrieval option
disabled so that you can pivot on its worksheets.
➤ To view the Inv.xls worksheet:
1 Select File > Open.
2 From the \AnalyticServices\client\sample directory, open the Inv.xls file.
An example of this worksheet is shown in Figure 100.
Note:
Depending on how software is installed on your PC, the file may not be available or may be
located in a different directory. Contact the Essbase system administrator for the location of the
file.

3 Select Essbase > Options and select the Global tab.
4 In the Display Messages group box, clear the Display Unknown Members check box to avoid seeing the
Essbase messages when working with formatted worksheets, and click OK.
5 Using the right-mouse button, drag Sales (in cell A5) to the cell nested below Jan (C4).
Essbase pivots the Sales member group so that it is nested below the monthly members. During
the pivot, however, Essbase retains only database elements. For example, all data for Stock to
Sales and Adjusted for Audit is deleted during the pivot.
The result is shown in Figure 101.
