Analysis for MS Excel Limitations

[Former Member]

Our organization is starting to use Analysis for MS Excel. We were hoping for a list of limitations so that our users do not have to spend countless hours trying to make functionality work that the Add-In is not designed to do. Any topics would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Diane,

For list of AO (Analysis Office) limitations check following:

To get an overview of what BEx functionalities are supported see document SAP BusinessObjects BI4 Suite - Supported BEx Query Elements

Have a look into what's new guide to get complete list of the new and modified features:

What's New Guide: SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office Release 1.3 SP2.

Cheers,

Some limitations are it does not support information broadcasting, you cannot launch the query designer from Analysis Office (like you can in BEx Analyzer) - but the other side is the tool is extremely easy to use
