- Open: Access previously saved templates or reports in Cube through the Open option, pulling them straight from your library.
Analyze
Dive deep into your data with the Analyze feature.
- Drilldown: Explore the intricate details of a specific data cross-section in your spreadsheet by drilling into a cell to open transaction or event data.
- Validate: Ensure your spreadsheet column or rows align with Cube dimensions using validation, preventing potential fetch errors.
Publish
The Publish feature lets you push data back into Cube, ensuring updated data is available for other users or subsequent analyses.
- Publish Data: Introduce fresh data to Cube by updating your defined scenario(s).
