I'm excited to share something new with the Planning Analytics community – we've just launched a dedicated blog for Planning Analytics for Excel!

What's This All About?

If you're working with Planning Analytics for Excel (or thinking about it), this blog is for you. My colleagues Jamie Currie, Ted Phillips, and I will be sharing regular updates about new features, tips, best practices, and everything else you need to know to get the most out of PAfE.

Why We're Doing This

Let's be honest – keeping up with all the new features and updates can be tough. We're constantly releasing improvements and new capabilities, and we want to make sure you know about them and can actually use them effectively. That's where this blog comes in.

What You'll Find Here

We'll be posting about:

-New features - as they roll out (with videos showing you how they work)

Tips and tricks - to make your life easier

Great to see a dedicated space for Planning Analytics for Excel updates.

For practitioners, having feature announcements together with concrete examples of how new capabilities behave in existing PAfE workbooks is particularly useful — for example, Universal Reports versus existing Dynamic/Custom Reports, and what a 2.0.9x → 2.1.x workbook actually keeps.

That kind of practical compatibility detail can be just as valuable as the feature introduction itself.

Looking forward to following the updates and seeing how the blog develops.
