Potential report integrity issue in IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel

IBM has become aware of a potential report integrity issue in Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports in IBM® Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel. Quick Reports and Explorations are not affected by this issue.

In Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports, incorrect values might be inserted into a small number of cells under complex report conditions when multiple TM1 formulas are referenced and/or TM1 formula nesting is defined in the report.

This issue impacts Planning Analytics for Excel versions 2.0.73 to 2.0.87. As a result, these versions are no longer available for download. However, users who do not use Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports can continue to use these versions.

IBM recommends that users who use Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports upgrade to Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.88 immediately. Modifications present in the Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.88 ensure that the recognized error patterns don’t occur.

A comprehensive resolution to this issue will be available in Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.89.

IBM recommends that all users upgrade to 2.0.89 once it is released. Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.89 is targeted to release in July 2023.
