IntroductionAs we define the future of SAP Analytics Cloud, we are committed to our existing SAP BusinessObjects BI suite customers. We continue to add enterprise reporting features like formatted reports, sections,and more recently in 2022, we added the report bursting capability.This allows most BI use cases, including reporting, to be transitioned to SAP Analytics Cloud. However, with the mainstream maintenance of version 4.3 of SAP BusinessObjects BI suite ending in 2025, we do not want to leave SAP BusinessObjects customers behind, and therefore we have decided to release an updated version of the BI suite code named SAP BusinessObjects BI 2024 to provide more time to our on-premises customers to adopt SAP Analytics Cloud.To maximize the value for our customers, we will focus ongoing investments on the most-widely adopted SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions:• SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence,• SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool and single source .unx universes,• SAP Crystal Reports (on Windows only*),• SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office,• SAP BusinessObjects BI platformThis means we plan to remove the following components from SAP BusinessObjects BI 2024:• SAP Lumira,• SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise,• SAP BusinessObjects Universe Design Tool and .unv universes,• Multi-source universes and associated connectivity,• SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for OLAP,• SAP BusinessObjects Live Office.

When you insert an object, a reference to the BI platform location is also inserted. When you open the document later using the Microsoft Office application, you can refresh the objects and see the current data in your document.In this post we will focus on alternative solutions for the specific configuration Microsoft Office Excel with Web Intelligence / Crystal Reports 2020.We will present three possible new ways to bring your BOBJ data into Excel, which will enable your Live Office users to keep working with their well-known environment: Using Excel and Web Intelligence (OData access) Using Excel and Crystal Reports 2020 (OData access) Using another SAP’s Microsoft Excel add-in SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office Or SAP Analysis for Microsoft OfficeDepending on your current and planned tools landscape, you will decide
