How to connect to cube databases in alteryx

Hi 

 

I have to extract data from cube databases using Alteryx. I have searched some info and understood that Alteryx doesn't support the connectivity to cube databases directly. I tried few methods using MSOLAP Provider but no success. Is there any way to connect to cube kind of databases from Alteryx?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Deepika

Hey thanks for the reply.

 

I have tried using that method. But couldn't find any success. Any other approaches other than using macro?

 

Thanks, in advance,

Deepika.

Hi,

 

I have tried this method, but I am facing 2 errors:

1. Error: MDX (5): Tool #23: The entry point is invalid.

2. Error: MDX (5): Tool #11: The external program "%temp%\mdxQuery.bat" returned an error code: 1

 

 

Could anyone please help me in solving this issue.

 

Thanks in advance.
