Title: MDC file format
Post by: Andrei I on 20 Jun 2011 04:05:19 PM
Is  there any API (other then PowerPlay OLE) to read data from PowerPlay Cubes (.MDC files)?
I need to export cube data on the leaf level.
Ideally I'd like to just read MDC files and extract the required dimensions and cells.

You need to export data down to the leaf level? Why not just write a report to do it?

Regenerating detail data from a cube is a CPU intensive process.
