How to edit the settings of chart feeder in IBP Excel Add in within a Planning View?

[former_member610420]

Hello,

I want to edit the data source for an IBP chart and I expect that I have to change the chart feeder settings to integrate different key figures in the chart and to change settings like drop down fields, chart time horizon. How can I change the chart feeder settings which are the data source for the chart? Can you provide a desciption). Can you also provide me the files UnderstandingChartFeeder.zip?

Thank you very much for you support in advance.

Best regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

In regards to the SOPExcelAddIn_How2UnderstandingChartFeeder.pdf file, I have maintained it in the following public folder for direct access:

Best,

Thanks very much for sharing Ivan.

In my case, I was looking for documentation on how to remove the chart in order to improve the processing time (saving, opening, refreshing, etc). I havent read the document yet but I hope, I guess it will help me to achieve what I need

Thanks again very kind of you

Hi Sebastian

Check the OSS note https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/0001790530

In there is a link where you can download the Excel templates, plus the explanation on the chart feeder

But do you know that the chart feeder way is a kind of "old school" and that we have "new" templates meanwhile that do not work with the chart feeder any more but with VBA code?

Those are more performant and have better usability in general, just in few exceptional areas the "old" chart feeder templates are better. My recommendation is to download those VBA templates and go with them. Docu in that is included in te same OSS note

Enjoy

Hi Irmi

I don't have access to OSS notes (our IT team does but the guy who does it is in absence leave for a week) is there a chance you could share the link you mentioned?

Thanks in advance

The link is https://github.com/SAP/integrated-business-planning-excel-add-in-templates , but in case you dont have access I's ask you to wait until your colleague is back.
