How the change impacts the pre-configured macro?

The removal of parameters does not impact the existing macro configurations or pre-configured macros. Below are the various configuration changes to help you consider and plan the Excel macro configuration.

...

If the macro configuration contains Profile:

  • The macro considers the values of the parameters, User, and Password from the Profile for authentication. The app fetches the data based on the chosen Profile and relative URL provided in the URL to Excel file.

If the macro configuration does not contain Profile:

  • The macro considers the values of the parameters, URL user, and URL user password from the Storage Format for authentication. The app fetches the data based on the URL provided in the URL to Excel file.
