Creating a ranked list using CubeSet and CubeRankedMember in Excel 2013 against a PowerPivot table is uselessly slow. The determining factor is the size of the dimension which in this case is in the tens of thousands. If I use a pivot table
the sort on the same dimension is virtually instantaneous but using the CUBE functions is truly frustrating. I am trying to create a pivotless report for my stakeholders but I'm about ready to give up due to the extremely long recalculations. Any
advice or workarounds?
