you can choose to simply display "Albany" under New York and California in both dimensions,
and view the qualified member name in the cell comment. Alternatively, you can choose to
display the qualified member name for Albany in both dimensions directly on the worksheet.
See “Working with Duplicate Member Names” on page 65 for more information on duplicate
member name support.
Spreadsheet Add-in Registration
The Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in registration utility for Excel registers Essbase Spreadsheet Add-
in with Excel and includes it in your computer’s registry entries.
You may also unregister Spreadsheet Add-in from Excel. Unregistering is similar to uninstalling
in that it clears the registry entries and removes the Essbase menu from Excel; however, it leaves
the Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in components on your computer. If you want to put the
Spreadsheet Add-in back into Excel, run the register program again.
It is not required that you register Spreadsheet Add-in. If you experience problems with Essbase
Spreadsheet Add-in, it is recommended that you register.
See “Registering Spreadsheet Add-in” on page 22.

Compatibility with Smart View
Oracle's Hyperion® Smart View for Office can be installed on the same computer as the Essbase
Spreadsheet Add-in. Selecting a new check box, "Limit to Connected Sheets," ensures that
Spreadsheet Add-in functions properly alongside Smart View.
The "Limit to Connected Sheets" check box is part of the Mouse Actions settings located on the
Global tab of the Essbase Options dialog box in Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in.
Currently, when only Spreadsheet Add-in is installed, mouse clicks behave according to the
settings made in the Mouse Actions group, even when the worksheet is not connected to an
Essbase Server application and database. For example, if the Enable Double-Clicking option is
selected, double-clicking in an unconnected worksheet automatically brings up the Essbase
System Login dialog box.
