BOA not reflecting changes in query definition

Hello,

we are piloting Analysis for MS Excel, but have some problems when tuning the underlying query (typically in data mining use cases).

Changing the query definition in BEx Designer, e.g. adding a new free characteristic or change in the column name, the BOA file (.xlsm) must be closed and reopened; a simple refresh does not reflect the definition changes.

Still, some changes aren’t reflected anyway, but the query must be inserted once more, e.g. when suppressing nulls, changing sign of a key figure or changing Access Type for Result Values.

Could anyone help us?

Thanks
