We are pleased to announce that the new Planning package has been published to Microsoft AppSource.

• It will be automatically updated in your reports within approximately two weeks.

The new package focuses on:

• Enhanced user experience for smoother and more intuitive use

• Expanded customization options to better match your specific reporting needs

🎉New features:

✅New subtotal setting: On-hover font color for improved visibility

• Where to find: Visual → Subtotal Formatting → <subtotal-name> → “Hover state text color”

✅Font color in locked cells: You can now define the font color even for locked cells

• Where to find: Visual → Cells → Text formatting → “Locked Color”

✅Hierarchy-based row header colors: Set different background colors for row headers based on hierarchy levels

• Where to find: Visual → Row Headers → <subtotal-name> → “Background color”

✅Wider row headers: Increased maximum width for row headers when Auto width is turned off

✅Enhanced locked cell functionality when applied to visuals with three-level hierarchies in rows.

Additionally, we have added a new parameter in the writeback visual settings API version.
For now, this parameter must remain set to “Default”.

🐛Bug fixes

• Fixed issues related to rendering mode anomalies.

• Fixed an issue where a calculated column based on a value measure containing special characters in its name did not work correctly.

• Fixed an issue where edited cell formatting was not applied when a formula was used in subtotals.

• Fixed an issue where comments were not added or saved for recently edited cells.

• Fixed an issue where, when row header width was not set to Auto, the total columns became excessively wide.

What is next

We are focusing now on Planning Optimization - Part 2, which aims to reduce rendering time.

Sincerely yours,

Team BI Book
