Over two and half years ago the ASUG Analysis Influence Council kicked off with alexander.peter, ian.mcalpineand joyce.butler
What are ASUG Influence Councils?
"Influence Councils are interactive forums where members can communicate ideas and concerns about product plans and SAP services directly to SAP development and product managers."
Source: ASUG
The council continues today and continues to provide feedback to SAP on the products. This blog covers where ASUG influenced the latest BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Office 1.4 release.
The council first ranked and prioritized features. At the top of the list was "Capability to Create/Edit Bex Query within Analysis Office. From Bex analyzer you don't have to leave the tool to add a field. With Office you have to leave the tool, go to query designer, add the field and then get back into Office. "
This is now available in the current 1.4 release. See the steps below:
Under Settings, select Advanced Settings, and select the checkbox Show "Call Query Designer"...
The Query Designer button/ribbon is then shown:
Select the Launch Query Designer and the Query Designer is then launched.
You can make changes to your query and then return to your Analysis Office application. In my example above I've added WBS to the rows of the Query.
Then when returning to Analysis Office cross tab you reset the data source and the cross tab is then updated.
