Hello and good morning:
Nice, but please remember (if I am not mistaken):
AfO will be retired? Source?
See e.g. here:
Thanks for sharing! Maintenance at least 2027!
Ok, in my personal opinion BW4 and BPC have maintenance until 2040. So hopefully the good old AfO with full functionalities compared to the SAC Excel add-in will get this support also until 2040 😉
With BI 2025 (BI4.3 successor) version of SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office, it will be supported until at least end of 2029 for mainstream maintenance, and 2031 for priority 1 support according to the latest SAP Analytics Business Intelligence Statement of Direction. Maintenance not until 2040, but hopefully, things will change depending on market.
Hello Johann Schedrin
Please, do you know if it is planned to propose a French version for this BI4.3 learning journey?
Thanks in advance, and best regards.
Hi Gregory,
the translation of the learning journeys on the SAP Learning site is already in the pipeline but I am afraid I can`t tell you when it will be applied.

Thanks for the confirmation!
