PivotTable component in Office 2000 is the PivotTable report feature. It allows the user select and cross tabulate numerical values in ways that are similar to the processes of a cube. The earlier versions of this report in Excel could only extract values from relational data sources. The version under reference can present data directly form an OLAP cube.

The PivotTable Service:The interfaces used by client applications to access OLAP data and data mining data on the server are provided by the PivotTable Service. The PivotTable service is a set of tools that enable the transfer of OLAP cubes to client applications from the OLAP server. Two programming interfaces for querying data are available to the developer from the PivotTable Services:--The OLE DB for OLAP and the ActiveX Data objects Multidimensional (ADO MD). Tools such as those available in VisualStudio.Net are harnessed to create applications that query multi dimensional data sources. The figure below illustrates the relationship scenario.
