Default pivot table driving our users nuts.

Alan

You can display the pivot table in the 'old view' on the pivot table tab.
The default now is the new 'compact' view

Assuming you have a Dimension with 5 levels: Year, Quarter, Month, Week
and Day
Using OWC 11, you could drag the Day level to the pivot table, and you'd
see
all the days one below the other.

Now with Excel 2007, you drag the Day level and Excel decides to behave as
if you had dragged the Year level: It shows all the years below one
another.
You must then expand the year level so that the quarters appear, and then
right-click on a year, choose "show/hide fields" and click on Year to hide
the year level.
Do it again for Quarter, then again for Month, and finally for week.

A total of 17 clicks for something that needs 1 click with OWC 11.

This is driving our users nuts.

Am I missing something ? Is there a better way to do this ?
