Eliminate the 2-cell-wide blank border around PI Builder data

When I import data using PI Builder, I usually want to filter the data and create calculated columns, but these prove to be more painful than necessary. If I put filters on the columns containing PI Builder data and then click on the filter dropd...

Minimize the recalculation of volatile cells

Currently, PI Builder data is imported row by row. Each imported row causes all volatile cells in all open workbooks and any cells downstream of them in the dependency tree to recalculate. PI Builder will not import a new row until this calculatio...

Remove limit on the number of attributes that can be selected in PI Builder

Currently, in PI Builder there is a hard limit on the number of columns that can be selected (it is set to 1023 columns). It makes it hard to work with templates that have over 1020 attributes configured and limits the configuration capabilities.
