Excel functions in MDX

    Hi All.

    Is there a way to reference Excel functions from MDX ?

    I'm trying to access the LOG function. I can reference the VBA LOG function like so VBA![LOG]([Measures].[xxxxxxx but this VBA LOG function is different to the Excel worksheet LOG function. The VBA one uses a natural log whereas Excel has a parameter for the Base and defaults to 10.

    Regards,

    James

    You can use log10(Measures.[i]your measure[/i])

    Presumably, I will need Excel installed on my server for this to work ?
