As you know, Citrix was originally required because Perspectives did not perform well over a wide‑area network. PAfE, however, was designed from the ground up to deliver strong performance in distributed network environments, so Citrix is no longer necessary.
Because we do not test PAfE within Citrix, it is not listed among our supported environments. That said, we expect PAfE to function properly in a Citrix deployment, and we are not aware of any technical reasons it would not.
Looking ahead, our 2026 roadmap includes a second‑half delivery of an Excel Online add‑on, which will enable PAfE to run on any operating system. The add‑on will support Universal Reports only. To support broader adoption, we plan to provide Universal Report Converters. A Quick Report to Universal Report Static converter is already available, and converters for Dynamic and Custom reports are planned for future releases.

Yeah, I don't know why this is being ignored by IBM. It will be a huge value add for all PAfE users if it is made available of O365. This will not only solve for MacOS users, but it also will make the management easy for all users.

In a recent session with IBM there was reference made to O365 and PAfE for 2026 - no timelines and yes, not on the roadmap but maybe someone from IBM can clarify further.

It has been about a year since we moved away from Perspectives/Architect and fully on-boarded to PAfE. MacOS users are still asking when they will get it.
I recall hearing PAfE coming for web Excel, but I don't see anything mention in the roadmap. Is it already released or not being considered at all?

Thanks Vlad for this. It seems you have got a a nice add-on for Google Sheets. Unfortunately, it is not allowed in my organization, so cannot use it. But, thanks for sharing.
@STUART KING any thoughts on my query.

Hi Subhash,
If you consider using Google Sheets, the TeamOne Google Sheets add-on allows you to read and write data directly from Google Sheets. Users can create both static and dynamic reports directly in their browser, regardless of the operating system they're using.
Here is a quick overview of the TeamOne functionality:

Hello,
With recent announcement of stopping support of Perspectives, we don't have a choice here but to use PAfE. I understand that IBM does not support PAfE on Citrix yet. So, I wanted to ask IBM what is your strategy of supporting PAfE for MacOS users. I hear that IBM has plans to enable PAfE on Microsoft 365 online with limited features. If so, it won't fair for MacOS users.
Regards
