Only include the worksheet in a formula if a sheet other than the one the formula resides is referenced

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 do...

Restrict the "Root path" field on the "Current Value" menu to only display PI Data Archive servers previously connected to this machine.

We have 12 PI Data Archive Servers and another 12 PI AF Systems. I currently have to sort through a list of 124 "servers" when I setup to collect some PI data. Many of the 124 "servers" are old servers no longer in use or databases under PI AF Sys...

Automatically check for updates

Please add a feature that automatically checks for updates when PI DataLink starts up. This way, the updates come to the user rather than the user having to check if there is an update.

Datalink - Root Path should allow to specify multiple Data Archives

Currently, the Root Path field of Datalink can be pointed to a single cell to retrieve the name of the Data Archive where the tag resides. It is not possible to specify an array of cells, as only the first Data Archive will be considered. There ...

Display a parameter tooltip (IntelliSense) when typing functions manually

Please add a tooltip or equivalent to show the arguments of the PI DataLink functions when you are entering the functions manually, similar to the tooltips that appear when you use native Excel functions.

Being able to Copy / Paste or "Copy Drag" calculated data strings

Be able to drag a cell's calculated data formula with using cell references should speed up report creation. Currently, have to create new calculated data each time, fill each cell requirement instead of copying down.

Fetch previous change of value (and its timestamp) from compressed data

It is valuable to extract the previous change of value and its timestamp without full dump of compress data. If that value could be specified, the feature is even more usefull. Example: a time series has the state of an alarm and the current value...

Datalink tab opens when click on cell

When users click on any cell, it opens the tab on the right hand side and causes confusion. Setting it to manual opening will be easier to work with Excel page, have more space, and avoid confusion.
