Spreadsheets Update

Cube for Excel showing a workbook home with multiple explorations grouped by sheet

The Google Sheets and Excel add-ons now open on a workbook home that groups every placed exploration by sheet and shows its range, freshness and status. The pane follows the current cell, calls out missing or hand-edited results and makes it clear where a new exploration will be written.

You can switch between multiple explorations without losing drafts, drag dimensions and measures directly into pivot and filter zones and follow tracked progress for Run or Refresh all. New settings also let you control sheet following, automatic runs and result placement, or detach and delete explorations from the workbook.

Field Switcher

A Dashboard chart configured with a Field Switcher control

You can now let Dashboard viewers swap the dimension or measure behind a chart without adding duplicate charts. Add a Field Switcher from Add Controls, choose the field it replaces and offer alternatives such as Status or City, Order count or Total revenue.

The chart keeps its formatting, sorting, pivots and conditional formatting as the field changes. Defaults can be static or personalized with a user attribute, Parent controls can drive the selection and the selected field carries into shared links, exports and scheduled delivery.
