PIEFDat

SUPPRESS THE COLUMN NAMES. I am working "one rwo at a time" where an attribute within an event must match something in another column, but can't do it when PIEFDat always returns two rows for each query. grrr. The older Batch system version could do all this stuff.

      Also disappointed this has been declined. We view this as more of a BUG FIX than a feature enhancement request. All other DataLink functions allow you to suppress headings (most don't show any headings at all.) Why not Event Frame "explore events"? We have to go through heroic efforts to work around the fact that EVERY explore event query returns at least 2 rows -- 1 for the header, 1+ for any rows of results. Seems like it would be a very simple fix that would be very useful to us.

      YES, we need this too. We have MANY workbooks with batch where this function is used, and they are now going to be converted to Event Frames, but we need to use A LOT of time on manual rebuild because this feature is missing.

      Hi Victor, WOW, SO SAD to hear that! If you only knew the amount of time we are using in order to convert from BatchView to Event frames, because of this simple missing feature is IMMENSE, not to talk about the looks of the results, when having 10 or even 20 Event searches on top of each other, because of the other missing features in Explore Events. Best regards An frustrated user Christian

      Hi Christian, I'm sorry to hear that you are frustrated with the news. While we decided not to include the functionality in the coming release, the additional details of the use case provided in your comment will be useful when evaluating features to be implemented in the future. Thank you for sharing them, and please don't stop giving us feedback. Best, Victor Zhang OSIsoft, Product Manager
