Excel Add-In Version 7.7.1

August 16, 2019 - Build 6909


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 changes:

Essbase Retrieve Operation

  • Fixed Issue: Beginning with the 7.2.0.5810 release, a very large retrieve operation with data cell values on the sheet can fail due to the size of the request. #2303

  • Fixed Issue: The ability to perform a standard retrieve (or send) operation on a named range was included in the 7.7.0.6870 release. When a user attempts to perform a retrieve (or send) operation on a partially selected named retrieve (or send) range, the operation is not performed and there is no indication of this to the user. In the 7.7.1 release, a user is able to perform a standard retrieve (or send) operation on a partially selected named range. #2310

  • Fixed Issue: When a standard retrieve is performed on a sheet containing both auto-filtering and row groups, previously collapsed groups are expanded after the retrieve. #2326

  • Fixed Issue: Fine-grained sheet protection options are not retained after a standard retrieve operation. For example, when a sheet is protected and auto-filtering is allowed, the ability to auto-filter is not allowed after the retrieve. #2327

Unknown Members

  • Fixed Issue: When Strict Mode is enabled and an unknown member exists, performing a retrieve followed by a send operation results in a given unknown member, which is not associated with a cell, appearing twice in the Unknown Members task pane. #2309

XCopy Installation (.msi)

  • Enhancement - When an MSI XCopy installer is generated, distribute a copy of the setup.msi alongside the AppliedOLAP.Dodeca.ExcelAddInForEssbase.vsto via the dodeca metadata servlet. #2328
