Analysis for Office  ·  16. April 2021

    Analysis for Office 2.8 SP8 is available

    Since last week Analysis for Office 2.8 SP8 is available, and you can download it with your S-User. I just got a question if I could write about it, so here are the notes which fixes some bugs:

     

    • AO 2.x: Template for patch for AO and AO_SAC (s-note 3035301)
    • AO: SAC Live Data Connections - Input Readiness of BW planning queries can't get restored when opening a saved workbook (s-note 3038493)
    • Array formula cannot be updated via VBA (s-note 3017643)
    • BW OLAP Connection in Analysis Office Workbook Targets a Wrong System after Promotion (s-note 2972912)
    • Date format in AfO Schedule different than normal run (s-note 3001137)
    • New Lines - Value Help exception while opening if search is disabled [f197-731f-8e] (s-note 3019161)
    • SAPSetData: Introduced Option \"InitValue\" (s-note 3028120)

     

    Conclusion

    So you see the latest update of Analysis for Office don't fix very much. I think SAP is almost done with Analysis for Office, because the what's new guide only shows two new features:

    • SAP Analytics Cloud Live Data connections
    • Technical Setting DisableBWDirectSearch 

     

    So the product is almost finished? What is still with a connection to Data Warehouse Cloud?

      Thank you, without the S-User I cannot read the Changelog from SAP. Unfortunately it is not public. Therefore I am using your blog as reference.
