Came across a really strange issue. Updating the Product Description in master data, but it´s ignored in the planning view. 
4 examples and only the first, highlighted doesn´t work. If the first word in the description is all capital letters it´s ignored. But adding X or even a space it´s displayed correctly in the planning view.

This is regardless of excel version, we tried with 2308, 2311 and 2402.

Please be careful with mixed case. You might not see what you expect if you filter by the description with mixed case or you use it update values without other attributes that make it unique. When I filter in IBP data view, I don't get back both spellings. When I display keyfigure, with just the mixed case attribute and no filters, I get two rows with values.

If you are using Excel add-in pre 2408 release (most probably): this is expected behavior, as it allows for only one way of spelling the attribute name/

Good news is that this was fixed with the most recent Excel add-in version: 2408, as detailed here: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_INTEGRATED_BUSINESS_PLANNING/a650f937e78c4a959c19111d51215c09/792d97fd...

 

Solution : update IBP Excel add-in to 2408 version.
