IBM has become aware of a potential report integrity issue in Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports in IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel.  Quick Reports and Explorations are not affected by this issue. 

In Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports, incorrect values might be inserted into a small number of cells under complex report conditions when multiple TM1 formulas are referenced and/or TM1 formula nesting is defined in the report. 

This issue impacts Planning Analytics for Excel versions 2.0.73 to 2.0.88.  Changes were made in Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.88 to prevent but not completely correct the report integrity problem.  Additional changes were made in Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.89 to completely correct the report integrity problem.  Users who do not use Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports can continue to use these versions.

IBM recommends that all Planning Analytics users that use Custom Reports and Dynamic Reports upgrade to Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.89 immediately.   Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.89 can be download from the IBM Fix Central starting on 17 July 2023.  Planning Analytics on Cloud customers can download Planning Analytics for Excel 2.0.89 from Planning Analytics Administration starting on 18 July 2023.
