[SOLVED] OLAP Cubes on MS Office 2003: exact SKU code

[sbiriguda]

Hello,
I need to buy MS Office version 2003 because it's the only version that had an integrated OLAP cubes feature which I need
There are several versions of the software, business, small business, retail full, retail basic, etc. etc.
Any will do if it contains the OLAP cubes in MS Excel and all the features necessary to use them including MS Access
Which is the proper way to understand with no possible mistake the right version of SW I need? Which is the correct SKU product number for the right version of software I need in my case?
Thanks

By the way, just to be clear I will only purchase legitimate second hand software. I need it for real and I am not just playing with it...

I would not go "backwards" to a 17 year old version of MS Office.

There are OLAP options within the current suite of Microsoft offerings.

Google: "olap cubes microsoft365" with the time frame being the last year,

The google results should include quite a number of links. Review the links and revise the search terms and phrasing as necessary for your requirements.

Example links:

Whatever your OLAP requirements may be at this time trying hold on to and continue the use of very obsolete software (Office 2003) is not likely to end well.

Sooner or later there will be some change where the older application will simply (and perhaps suddenly) not work and/or no more support will be available.

Yes: you may be able to find and purchase MS Office 2003.

However, that said, you need to be planning ahead and be ready to change.

Thanks, I am very aware of the problem... Anyway in my case it still could make sense, at least for some time
Will consider other options you spoke about but I don't think they are comparable and feasible for my specific needs
Thank you again, I appreciate your help
