A few months ago I built a set of SSAS cubes to be accessed via Excel 2007 for our team. Excel was then preferred as a front-end because business users were already familiar with excel and with the pivot table interface.
But now complaints have risen about the interface being too 'basic' and not user-friendly enough - specifically people would like to see hover-over tool-tips (or something similar) when they hover over fields in the pivot table, that will be able to give them a bit more information.
A custom .NET front-end solution would probably be ideal, but a) I don't have that level of .NET skills, and b) I don't have too much time left on this project to build something from scratch and roll it out.
Would like to hear from people here about any off-the-shelf suggestions for alternatives, that an SSAS cube can be plugged into. Thanks.
