Add-In Excel 2003 for Analysis Services doesn't work anymore ?

Question

Hello,

 

We are working with the add-in excel 2003 for analysis services, and suddenly (since january 2010 i think) it is not possible
anymore to create report with this add-in.

 

I saw in the download center of microsoft that this add-in can't be downloaded anymore;
however, i didn't find any information on the web about an article indicating that existing reports created
with this add-in will not be able to be run anymore ???

 

Do you have any information about that or links ? is there any office security patch or windows patch
that could have been executed on our machine and stopp the add-in from properly working ?

 

Thanks in advance
P. Gineste

Bonjour,

Je vous conseille de lire ce thread, qui traite le même problème.

Office 2003 a expiré et les alternatives sont Excel 2007 ou Excel 2010. Je vous conseille donc d’adopter une de ces solutions, pour bénéficier de support aussi.

 

Concernant la question, je vous prie de me dire la version de votre Analysis Service et je vais vérifier s’il existe une incompatibilité ou un patch.

 

Cordialement,

Bonjour,

 

Microsoft ne supporte plus ce composant et des versions ultérieures ne seront plus disponibles.

 

Je vous propose quelques alternatives :
