Refresh Elements in View

Take a look at the following situation:

You have a cube, with the dimensions:
- products,
- months,
- datatype (e.g. buget)
- measure (costs)

The product-elements are changing within a couple o months. That is: in January we have a product "Chainsaw 101", but in June, it has been replaced by the model "Chainsaw 202".

The View contains the list of products. The Month is to be picked.

How can it be done, that the list of elements is correct? (Which means: in January I see only chainsaw-101, and in June only 202?) I tried some basic subsets, but the view didn't refresh automatically. I was thinking maybe of VB - but this should be the last resort.

btw: I do have a hierarchy (consolidated field) on products, and if I double-click it twice, the elements are updated, but this is exactly what I want to avoid. Especially because this view is to be deployed to WSS.

RE: Refresh Elements in View

Hi,
Quick idea (used demo db for exmpale):

Set up an additional cube like "ProductControl", with dimensions products, years month.

- Enter 1 where product should be "active".
- Create two named range on your sheet, e.g. year and month
- Create Subset with variable data filter.
- Paste subset and toggle year or. month to se the effect.

Woks well for me. I attached some screens and a "demo report" xls based on demo db and a cube "ProductControl" with dimensions (in this order):
-Products
-Years
-Months

tested it successfully. Thanks mate.

btw: I added the meaasure costs and the corresponding function. Now it is possible to modify measures on the dynamic elements of the subset. Just the way I needed it.
