2797159 - AO 2.x: How to show or hide the Cut, Copy & Paste entries in the Context Menu

Symptom

When opening the Context Menu for a cell that belongs to an AO data source, Analysis Office does hide most of the Excel native context menu entries. This includes the entries Cut, Copy & Paste.

This KBA is relevant for you in case that your users need to be able to use the Cut, Copy & Paste functionalities on AO cells through the Context Menu.

Remark:
Until AO 2.7 SP6 the Paste Menu ("Paste Options") was an exception and displayed anyway, because it was not possible to hide it due to technical limitations. This has been changed with the correction of SAP Note 2775946.

Environment

SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office 2.7

Resolution

You can use the setting "ShowCutCopyPasteInGridContextMenu" to show the native Excel context menu entries "Cut, Copy & Paste" in the Context Menu.
