Connect Filter Web Parts to Excel Web Access

Applies to: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Print

Similar to other Web Parts that enable connections, you can use Filter Web Parts to pass values to the Microsoft Office Excel Web Access Web Part, and then change the view of data in the workbook based on the value. For example, you can select from a list of top-selling products in a Filter Web Part, and then simultaneously display the current inventory level as a Microsoft Office Excel table in one Microsoft Office Excel Web Access Web Part, a bar chart of sales revenue over the past five years in a second Excel Web Access Web Part, and a sales summary over the past five years in a PivotTable report in a third Excel Web Access Web Part. And all this based on the value that you selected from the Filter Web Part.

The Filter Web Parts are very powerful and flexible, and enable you to do the following:

• Filter by a fixed value by entering text, numbers, or dates, or by selecting an item from a list of values.
• Derive the values to filter by manual data entry or from an external data source, such as a Windows SharePoint Services list, the Business Data Catalog, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, or another Web Part on the same page.
• Filter a PivotTable report, in an Excel Web Access Web Part, that is based on data in a SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services dimension and hierarchy.
• Filter data based on a value in the Windows SharePoint Services profile properties for the current user, such as the current user's login name or the name of the person to whom the user reports.
• Display brief information about the current Filter Web Part connections on the Web Part in Edit Mode.
