Reshing data from an olap cube

[happy_smiler1]

Hello guru's,

Not sure if im posting in the right area or not, Im abit confused about olap cubes, or data cubes, is there a way of refreshing data that has been taken out of a cube in excel? Basically what im trying to learn is i know that an olap cube is a pivot table in excel and that you can quickly extract data from it, however, when i extract data from it, i would like it so that it automatically updates the data, so essentially like having a drop down box with options, once you click an option it will pull it from the cube, then every week or month, to change say a date and it will automatically refresh the pivot table and the data.

Hope its not confusing.

Hope to hear from the best soon.

Regards.
