      Dear Collaborators,

      I wanted to enshrine ‘s reaction to the discovery I made yesterday. It could be a category ofĀ ?GP tips that fall outside the norm.

      To wit: if you’re adding newly-created refexes (REFreshable EXcel reports) to any of the shared Excel Report folders, make sure that the file name extension (xlsx) is in lower case. If it’s in UPPER case, your brand-spanking new refex will not show up in the Excel Reports list in GP. GP is sensitive to the case of the Excel file extension. (The refex will not show if only just the first “X” in “Xslx” is capitalized.)Ā Who knew?

      Regards,
