In PI DataLink, using the Explore Events function, I would have expected the list of Event Frames displayed to refresh with newly created event frames when my end time is current time '*'. I would also expect that the list of Events is up to date when I open Excel and PI DataLink.

As a creator of DataLink spreadsheets, I would like to have the option to disable DataLink automatic grouping so that I can apply an input to one function (ex. filter expression, conversion factor, etc.) without it being applied to the entire group. Currently DataLink automatically groups similar functions when using the task pane, even if they are created by copy paste or by dragging the fill handle.

Recalculate without resize in the right click menu

I would like the ability to disable automatic connections to specific AF Servers. Currently client applications (DataLink) are implicitly connecting to all AF Servers in the AF "KST". This results in very slow startup times for Excel. For customers with many AF Servers or off-shore servers connected via satellite, this could save a lot of time.

There are tags that should be kept as Step=On but there is certain cases in which someone should be able to easily bypass the typical interpolating rules (interpolation that follows the step parameter) and allow for a true interpolation between values

The cumbersome workaround is to utilize performance equation functions within the expression field . . . but that's pretty advanced usage

If multiple tags are selected for 1 compressed data function, it is difficult to determine which data is associated with the tags.

Whenever Daylight Saving Time starts on Brazil the issue below is prone to happen:

Whenever Start/End time has a date corresponding to DST start, which will either cause date misinterpretation (using formats XX-XX-XX or XX/XX/XX) or throw an error (given DateTime represents an invalid time).

Customers want to avoid having to install a localhost to client machines and having to make changes to every spreadsheet.

PI DataLink side panel should be able to parse Implicit Intersection Operator @ so formulas can be edited, when inserted by Microsoft Excel with Office 365,

When I see "Timed Data", I think: "Well of course my data is timed! But what does this button do?".

"Timed Data" retrieves interpolated/archived values at the given timestamps.

Please rename "Timed Data" to better reflect this. I recommend "Data At Timestamps", but if this is too long, "Data At Times", "Data @ Times", or "Given Time" would also suffice.

"Time Filtered" was meant to be interpreted as "Time [Spent] Filtered", but it can easily be misinterpreted as "Time[-]Filtered" (i.e. filtered by time, i.e. Compressed Data).

Please rename "Time Filtered" to "Condition Time" so that the name better reflects the function.

Would like to be able to format any data value based on the questionable attribute.

Use case:

We have a report that uses 15 minute sampled data. The data is in a large table, one month displayed, date on the left hand side, time in 15 min increments across the top. Goal is to have any questionable data be formatted Red so a user can see it quickly.

Being able to format based on other attributes, font, color, etc. would have value as well.

If you make a mistake or overwrite information while working with PI Datalink information there is no way to undo it without deleting or recalculating the information completely.

As a PI DataLink user, I would like for attributes for the Event Frames I am viewing with the Explore or Compare Events functions to update automatically, rather than having to use the Clear Cache button in the Settings window to retrieve new values.

Copying formulas from one sheet to another is tedious because you must replace the sheet that Datalink forces in with the sheet you paste into even if all referenced cells are all on the same sheet. Please make the behavior similar to how Excel does it - only include the sheet name in formulas if a cell on a sheet that is not on the same sheet as the formula itself is references. Or at least an option to pick.

now users can query compressed data according the interval. how about to query according the numbers, which users can set
