Hi all,
I received a workbook from a user which has a pivot table in which the data is not refreshing. If you click on refresh, it takes a long time (maybe 20 seconds) to perform the refresh. It says that it finishes successfully, but the data is not current. If I create a new pivot table off the same connection in the same workbook, this connection brings in fresh data.
Copying the pivot table to another sheet does not fix the issue. The data still does not refresh.
In profiler, the query is successfully starting and ending and there are no errors in the application or system logs.
This appears to be the same exact issue as this (with the exception that there are no background colors being formatted): http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlanalysisservices/thread/fa5d3a39-cc1d-4137-adb2-40b599908d20
For the environment, this is excel 2010, 64 bit (14.0.6123.5001) accessing SQL 2008 R2, sp2.
Ok, one last bit of major weirdness -- we have detected this issue because a dimension attribute was renamed, but is not getting updated. If I add a label filter "Begins With..." and type in the name that I want to appear, the old name shows up in the pivot table with the correct amount next to it. i.e.:
I type in "Ameripris" in the filter, and the customer that appears in the pivot table is "AMERICAN ENTERPRISE". It seems as though the data made it into Excel, but the pivot table is having trouble displaying it.
I would hate to tell my customer to recreate all of their reports - or worse, you can never refresh them. Any thoughts on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.
Mark
