Symptom
When using Open in Excel add-in from a story table, the calculated columns/rows from the story are not exported to the excel add-in.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office
Reproducing the Issue
- Open a story that is enabled for Open in Excel add-in.
- Set the story variables as needed (for example, profit center, company code, ...).
- Run the story.
- From the table’s overflow menu (three dots), choose Open in Excel add-in.
- Open the downloaded Excel file and sign in to SAC Excel Add-in.
- Observe that the story’s calculated columns/rows are not present in the Excel add-in.
Cause
Current product limitation: calculated columns/rows defined in a story are not supported for export/open in the SAP Analytics Cloud add-in for Office.
Resolution
- Acknowledge that calculated columns/rows created in stories are not currently supported in the SAP Analytics Cloud add-in for Office; this is working as designed.
- Refer to the official considerations for analyzing data in the add-in to understand supported capabilities and limitations.
