the default settings.

understand the steps for creating a Jedox view by using the database.

2. CREATING A JEDOX DATABASE VIEW

Place the cell pointer in A1 and select the command "Jedox - Paste view ...".This
command allows you to easily create Jedox database views on a worksheet.

In the dialog box you can select which dimensions and elements you want to see and how they should be
arranged.
With drag and drop you can move
the dimensions from the page area
(current location) to the row titles or
column titles area:
Column titles area

Now please move the dimension

"Products" in the row titles area and
the dimension "Regions" in the
column titles area.

Cube structure:

Data is retrieved from the Jedox OLAP database via a special

formula, the PALO.DATA formula.
For example the function in B12 is:
PALO.DATAC(A1,A2,A12,B8,A3,A4,A5,A6)
The order of coordinates corresponds to the order of the
dimensions in the cube.
The parameters for this formula are the database (A1),
the cube (A2) and the coordinates of the target cell in the
cube (A12: Element of Products, B8: Element of Regions,
A3: Element of Months, A4: Element of Years,
A5: Element of Datatypes, A6: Element of Measures).
