Refresh of Report Data 
You can overwrite data in a report defined using a data matrix in Interactive Excel with up-to-the-minute data from a database. You can import data into one or more reports over an interactive connection to an SAP system.
You have opened an Interactive Excel workbook in which a matrix report is defined.
For information about opening a new workbook, see Opening a New Workbook with Interactive Excel.
You have logged on to an SAP system on which the Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS) or the Enterprise Controlling Consolidation (EC-CS) component is installed.
For more information about logging on, see Logging On to a System.
Whenever you change characteristics and their values in your report definition, report data is automatically refreshed. You can activate and deactivate the automatic update of data by clicking .
Note
Report data is not automatically refreshed when data in the database is modified. However, each time you log on to a database, you can specify whether you want to refresh report data.
You can import the latest database data into a matrix without changing the matrix definition. In this case, you need to trigger the refresh manually. This ensures that no unwanted changes are made to report data.
You can refresh a single matrix, a pivot table, a worksheet, or an entire workbook.
After you have changed a matrix definition, data is refreshed automatically when you press ENTER.
To refresh report data in a data matrix, click and select the relevant report area.
Caution
Before you refresh one of several reports on a worksheet, make sure that you select the relevant report. On the Data Matrix tab, the names of all reports on the worksheet are listed in a combobox. The currently selected report is displayed when the combobox is collapsed. You can select only one report at a time.
