When you add data, all the aggregates are affected. You will have to rebuild the cube.

I'm not aware of any way to provoke a rebuild through a 'front end'. Rebuilding a cube is an administrator function not to be lightly undertaken.

A cube with Write Back capabilities may be usefull to you, but I don't know whether EXCEL pivot tables support it.
