Get SSAS cube last process time

Question

In Excel I make an Analysis Services connection to a data cube. I would like to be able to show a user how current the data is by showing them when the last cube processing

Answer 1

I use the following VBA to place current date-time into a cell in the spreadsheet whenever any pivot table (which includes those populated from SSAS) is updated:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetPivotTableUpdate(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Range("Documentation!B3").Value = Now()
End Sub

This captures the time when the spreadsheet extracted data from the cube rather than the time the cube was processed, but perhaps may be of some help to you.
