Workspace Planning Analytics

Shift F9 to update sheet only in PAx is ignored and continues to update all open workbooks

In TM1 perspectives we were able to reduce the refresh time of a worksheet by selecting shift F9.

Since we moved to Planning Analytics Excel this is not available by design (confirmed by IBM). Selecting Shift F9 still updates the full workbook and also all other workbooks open in the background.


One of our divisions is particularly impacted by this as they have a number of large reporting templates. 

Previously the shift F9 would allow them to update just a partial element of the report but now they are effectively updating the full workbook each time.

On comparison this is taking them 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds each update.

    This functionality is imperative when working with DB send formulas.  Please return the F9 and Shift + F9 recalc options.

    Agree the F9 recalculation options should be added as a high priority
