This document describes the feature enhancements and resolved issues for Spreadsheet Server v25.2, released on June 11, 2025.

Spreadsheet Server v25.2 New Features and Enhancements

Title

Description

Dedicated Help Button Now Available

With the release of Spreadsheet Server v25.2, you now have a dedicated Help button that gives you faster, easier access to the support and resources you need.

Here’s what you can do with it:

  • Search for documentation articles directly from the Customer Resource Center.

  • Watch YouTube videos for step-by-step guidance.

  • Visit the Online Documentation page for in-depth information.

  • Access the Insight Central Support Portal where you can:

    • Create and manage support cases.

    • Submit your own innovation ideas.

Query Designer and Business View Integration

In Spreadsheet Server v25.2, you can now upload your existing Query Designer (.edq) files to Angles Professional, where they are automatically converted into Business Views. These views can then be used to build dashboards in Angles, enabling a seamless transition from query creation to web-based visualization.

Prerequisites:

  • You must have both Spreadsheet Server and Angles Professional.

  • Both products must be deployed on the Platform.

  • Spreadsheet Server and Angles Professional must each have their own separate connection to the same data source. This integration does not rely on data sharing or ODBF.

Refer to the Export to Angles Business Views topic for step-by-step instructions on using this integration.

Spreadsheet Server Ribbon Updates

In Spreadsheet Server v25.2, the ribbon has been redesigned to simplify navigation and bring a more unified experience across the product. You will now find it easier to access key tools, discover related applications, and get help when you need it.

  • Summary Drill Down has been moved under the Drill Down Menu. This consolidates the functionality under one common Drill Down menu. This change reduces the amount of buttons on the main ribbon making it easier to consume.

    Before

    After

  • The Settings button now has a new dropdown menu. This makes it easier for the user to find the other applications that come with Spreadsheet Server.

  • There is a new Platform Button for customers on the platform.

  • Profile Scheduler has been added under the Distribute button on the main ribbon.

  • A new user interface and caution prompt have been added to the Convert SS Formulas button, located under the Tools dropdown.

  • Spreadsheet Connect has been removed from the product. It is no longer supported.

ERP-Specific Drill Downs

This feature introduces the ability to assign Ad Hoc Drill Downs to specific ERP profiles, ensuring that they only appear for the relevant profile they are configured for. For example, if a customer has five ERP systems and corresponding profiles, they can now assign a journal drill down query to just one of those profiles—providing a more tailored and streamlined user experience.

Key Details:

  • Available in Spreadsheet Server v25.2 and above

  • Works with both the classic and new settings

  • UI Setup is handled during installation—this is not a task for end users

  • Each profile must be configured individually; drill downs will only appear where assigned

Refer to the Assign Ad Hoc Drill Downs to Specific ERP Profiles topic for step-by-step instructions on using the ERP-specific drill downs.

Query Designer Ribbon and UI Enhancements

Spreadsheet Server v25.2 introduces several updates to the Query Designer interface, aimed at improving usability and streamlining your workflow.

Table List Simplification

After

New Ribbon Buttons

    • New dedicated buttons for Grouping (previously called Toggle Totals) and Insert Calculated Field are now available directly on the main ribbon.

    • Existing right-click options remain available for quick access.

Expression Builder Improvements

The Expression Elements section now opens in an expanded state by default, making it easier to view and select elements when building expressions.

Summary Field Relocation

The Summary Field (GEXQ) has been moved under the Run Summary section for better organization and discover-ability.

Query List Enhancements

You can now sort columns in the query list, making it easier to find and organize your saved queries.

Bulk Delete Capability

A new bulk delete feature allows you to select and remove multiple queries at once, making query management faster and more efficient.

Spreadsheet Server v25.2 Resolved Issues

Title

Description

Locate Segment

HSegments were previously not accessible in Locate Segment or usable in GXL formulas across all profiles. This has been fixed, and HSegments are now fully supported in both areas for all profiles.

Query Designer

Query Designer incorrectly added brace characters to database names containing underscores (_). This issue has been resolved, and database names with underscores are now handled correctly without extra braces.

Ribbon buttons in Query Designer previously shrank or misaligned when the window was resized to a smaller width. This issue has been fixed, and buttons now scale and reposition correctly for improved usability.

Previously, single-word field headings set in Query Designer were incorrectly forced to lowercase (for example, Description became description), while multi-word headings retained their casing. This has been fixed—headings now preserve the intended casing in both Query Designer and Excel outputs, including Drill Down and GEXD.

The progress bar in Tools > Update Connections by File > Update Connection was previously hidden behind the interface. It now displays correctly with clear visual feedback.

In the new Query Designer UI, “Remove Field from Query” and “Remove Table” popups were appearing on top of unrelated applications like Teams and Excel. This has been corrected, and popups now stay within the Query Designer window context.
