The Excel Add-in for users that love Excel.



Load Data


Unlike PPS where users have no way to load a data feed that has been extracted from another system, Callisto users can load a data file directly from an Excel workbook. Users are no longer dependent on an administrator to massage or load data feeds through the backend of SQL server.

In today’s dynamic corporate world, where companies are constantly bought and sold, it is impossible for headquarters to know how to translate data from all the various systems found in a large company. By allowing the users that understand the data and the translations required to correctly load that data, Callisto will help make this process more efficient. The translations or mapping of members required in order to load your data can be performed in any column in the same Excel file that contains the data feed. That Excel file can then be loaded directly into the PerformancePoint database with the extra columns needed to correctly map the members still in your worksheet.

Granting user the ability to load their own data in a PPS model is only made possible through the Security Extensions in Callisto. All PerformancePoint and Callisto security is automatically enforced on all data loaded ensuring users can only load data to the members the database administrator has designated as writeable by the user.

Extract Data


When users need to feed data to another system, they can serve their own needs without waiting for or relying on headquarters. Administrators no longer find themselves involved in a situation where they have to make some users unhappy because they just cannot do everything for everyone. Again, by empowering users with the ability to extract their own data, the task of translating the data no longer must be handed off to someone who is less familiar with the data, making for a more efficient process.



Clear Data


Users also have the ability to clear their own data. Clearing data from your PPS Model is only made possible through the Callisto Security extensions. The Callisto security extensions work with the Security already defined in PPS. An administrator configures the Callisto Security extensions.
