MDX Extraction VB Tool

I had already posted one blog about extracting MDX from Excel pivot table by installing Excel add-in. This post is again about extracting MDX. It is a very small executable file, which can be downloaded from below link and can be used to extract mdx.

Steps:

1. Run ExtractMDX.exe file and browse Excel Workbook, from which you want to extract MDX.. 
 

2. Select Worksheet, which has Pivot table created on Analysis Services cube.

3. If selected sheet has Pivot Table, Then it will get listed in "Select Pivot Table" drop down list. Select appropriate Pivot table.

4. Now click on "Extract MDX" button to extract mdx of the selected Pivot table.It may ask for below option:
5. Click 'OK'. MDX will get displayed in "Pivot Table MDX" text box.

6. This MDX can be saved/copied for future reference. "Refresh" button can be used to reset all selected settings.

Readers: Kindly share your comments & suggestions.
