Perspective Add-In title disappears from the Menu bar while its menu items are seen with no titles

Troubleshooting


Problem

Perspective Add-In title disappears from the Menu bar while its menu items are seen with no titles. This is a random behavior with no pattern.
After you close and open Excel (several times ) the addin and all its menu items are back as normal

Symptom

image-20190312162525-1

Cause

Add-In tm1pRibbonX.xlam from older releases of perspective was also enabled

Diagnosing The Problem

Perspective install in Planning Analytics has only the addin tm1p.xla enabled by default. So the older Add-Ins should be removed

1. Remove the Add-in tm1pRibbonX.xlam from Excel-->Options.

2. Rename this Perspectives ribbon control file, which is located in the TM1 bin and bin64 folder, from tm1pRibbonX. xlam to tm1pRibbonX.xlam.bak

3. Restart Excel

 Note: Make sure the below 2 options are set as well

  1. Go to [General -> User Interface Options] setting in the Excel options to 'Optimize for Comparability' and restart Excel
 

2. Trust the tm1p.xla location (the TM1 x86 bin folder or the 64bit program files/bin) in Excel. To do that in MS Excel 2010 go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Trusted Locations and add new location
