Hi,

No, unfortunately you can't do this. OLAP cubes are dimensional structures, accessed via MDX queries. Joins are relational concepts, and are enacted using SQL not MDX. You can't join a cube to anything for this reason.

What you can do, though, is to bring the data you need from your cube into a data set, and join your uploaded XLSX to this data set. The data set creation can be scheduled, too.

Cheers!

Hi,

The UI for creating a data set involves you building a list, yes.

Hmmm. That sounds like a defect to me. What version of Cognos Analytics are you using?
