Option to hide header row in results from Explore Events function

When pulling in results from searches in the Explore Events function, the option to hide the results header row would be beneficial when working with multiple attribute filter values in the same sheet

Rename "Compressed Data" to "Archived Data"

In the PI DataLink tab in the Ribbon, "Compressed Data" should be renamed to "Archived Data" since it actually retrieves archived data and not just compressed data. The icon should also be changed accordingly. Not all data in the PI Data Archive n...

Rename "Time Filtered" to "Condition Time"

"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 bett...

Rename "Timed Data" to "Data At Timestamps"

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 A...

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.

Optimize tag search by introducing a setting allowing less precision when filtering a tag search by value (especially for float tags)

For example, when searching for Float32 tags with a value of -0.062 in PI System Management Tools, several results may appear, whereas no results appear in an equivalent tag search in PI DataLink. The value of the tag in PI SMT may display as -0.0...

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...
