The supported versions of Excel include the following: Excel 2010, Excel 2013, and Excel 2016. Although not explicitly supported, there are currently no known issues when using the add-in with Excel 2007.
The supported versions of Essbase include 9.3.0 and higher.
This release contains the following enhancements:
Linked Reporting Objects
Linked Object Browsing allows LROs to be attached, edited, deleted, and viewed by double-clicking a data cell. The mode is enabled from the Global tab of the Essbase Options task pane.
Caveats:
- Due to an issue in the Java API, when attaching a file, any blanks in the filename will be replaced with an underscore and then assigned as the LRO name.
- EIS Drill-through report customization is not supported.
- Viewing linked partition data is not supported.
By default, the Linked Object Browsing Enabled option is not presented in the task pane. To make this option available, set the showInTaskPane attribute to “true” in the configuration XML file prior to deployment.
This release contains the following fixes:
- When the server name associated with an Essbase connection contains a forward slash, attempting to connect to the database from the Recent dropdown on the ribbon results in an error. #1440
