What does a Cube View connection in the Excel Add-in or Spreadsheet tool allow you to do?

• A. It allows users to have a live connection to an existing Cube View and query the data.
• B. It allows users to build members in a Cube View without the Member Filter Builder.
• C. It allows users to quickly add members to a Cube View.
• D. It provides users with security options for accessing Cube Views.

Answer: (A)

A Cube View connection creates a live link from Excel to an existing Cube View, letting you query that data directly from the spreadsheet. Because the connection is live, you can pull current values, use the Cube View’s dimensions and measures, and refresh to see updated results, all without exporting data. This is why it’s the best fit: it explicitly enables querying data from the Cube View in real time. The other descriptions involve actions that aren’t about establishing a data connection: modifying or adding members inside a Cube View, which changes the view itself; or handling security settings, which are managed separately from the data connection.
