I want to write a calculation formula in Excel
It is possible to add a formula to Excel temporarily, but if you write to Board, the number will be overwritten in the cell containing the formula and the formula will disappear. I understand this is a specification. We correspond it by using macros and "Use Excel Formulas". Is there any other way?

USER-specific display settings ENTITIES
We had now several request if it's possible, that a user (normal user - no power user) can define, if the entity shows code, description or code + description in a dataview - especially for entities which are chosen via Quick Layout (rows & columns).

hiding parts of chart legend
We are having "technical" cubes/formulars in charts for design aspects, which are not solvable via available settings --> e.g. fixed zero-line and max in a chart showing net sales per month for py, act and bud. And these two parts are listed in the legend which is a bit irritating for the user --> therefore it would be…

Unbalanced Hierarchy Sorting
In board 12, the current unbalanced hierarchy function is great, however there is no option to have the parents/members sorted by your own criteria. Currently all the totals sit at the top of the tables. To be able to have the totals sit at the bottom of the piece of data would be ideal, as well as being able to change…

Block Reference - Dynamic Selection on
It would be great if dynamic selections would be available at block references (for used cubes in data views/charts) --> this would probably make currently necessary count/selection-cubes irrelevant and enable more flexibility - especially regarding time selections or time related columns.

Export to XLSX - Overcome limitations of layout export with huge datasets
Idea: We use the export functionality of Board intensively.

When we have a lot of data views/charts/etc. on a screen, refreshing the full screen from the procedure (Refresh Screen) can take some time. And in some cases full screen refresh is not necessary.
