Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.63 contains conformance updates fundamental to improving the overall product experience including the installation and post-installation experience. These updates are not compatible with the current release of Cognos Office Connection.
Users that use both Planning Analytics for Excel as well as Cognos Office Connection are affected in their ability to upgrade to the latest release of Planning Analytics for Excel. Users who utilize either Cognos Office Connection or Planning Analytics for Excel on their own may continue using the latest releases of each.
For those who utilize both Planning Analytics for Excel as well as Cognos Office Connection for their reporting needs may continue using Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.62 alongside the latest release of Cognos Office Connection.
In an upcoming release, the Planning Analytics add-in will be converted from an installer-based delivery to a single file a fraction of the size. This will enable easier self service in enabling and disabling the add-in. Following this release shortly, Cognos office Connection will enable the link between the two products once again.
