Hi Simon
Mobility is not needed. BIWS, Live office cannot be used at my client site due to certain limitations at the client site. Now to consume BEx queries only 2 options are left 1. query browser 2. SAP bw Netweaver data connection. I am sure with query browser you cannot get a cross tab data organization in your embedded excel . You need to apply excel formulae. Anyways neither these are very important , my question was mapping BW variables in dashboards . Do you have any suggestions for that . Please refer to my question as I can see you have just commented the thing which was mentioned in my PS comment .
