My best guess it is because having generic functions would make pivots much more expensive in memory and cpu resources.</p> doco – functions appear to be limited to those which satisfy f(f(x),…,f(z)) == f(x,…,z).

As You know I’m not with the Redmonds people but I thought I would add my 2 cents here ;)

External Data Cache:

I can understand the sentence of what You raise but from my point of view I would say that it exist better server side solutions lika OLAP Cubes, stored procedures as well as persistent recordsets then to increase the size and also make the Data Cache more transparent.

Although it will never be perfect the all in all is that the clients should not be “exhausted” with an unnessary overhead.

BTW, in VSTO we can access and manipulate the ActionPane rather smooth in my opinion and it offer some great options when it comes to “order” specific data etc.

Ross – Thanks for the heads up on the MSFT KB-article in Your blog :)

Kind regards,
Dennis

Or is there a way (particularly in PivotTables) to do Median(); AveDev(); GeoMean(); etc? Is there a way to break into PT's object model and add additional functions?</p> While we are on a wish list bent: why are central tendency functions limited to Average; Stdev; Count; Min; Max; etc. in PivotTables, SubTotal(), and StatusBar?

I must be missing something Dick, could you not just use the same recored set to populate 2 diffrent tables?

One problem with the cache set up, partiucally for “extrenal data”, which could be very large is the purging – try using a pivot is Access with a “resonable”
size data set – worthless!!!

http://methodsinexcel.blogspot.com/2005/12/exporting-to-excel-from-owc-and-pivot.html

the answer in this particualr case might be more manageable PT, which i think 12 might offer – but i guess not!

I think the worksheet thing might be achivable with API’s – Steven Bullen’s Form Fun removes the caption from a VBA form, so i guess this could work for a window, and the z order is just the window index, and if the “base sheet” was maximised (even turned to a background type sheet) some of it might be possible… but yeah it’s a lot of work and over head, wold be mch better if it was defult.
