Using Undo and Redo

When connected to a data source provider, the Undo option in the Smart View ribbon, undoes the last user action in a cell.

Undo, Undo button, and Redo, Redo button, behave differently depending on the data source to which you are connected.

Additionally:

  • In ad hoc analysis with Oracle Essbase or Narrative Reporting data sources, Undo undoes Zoom In, Zoom Out, Keep Only, Remove Only, or Refresh and restores the previous database view to the grid. Performing an Undo after modifying member data returns the sheet to its state before the last refresh, not to its state before the data modification.

  • In forms, Undo undoes the last user action in a cell.

  • In ad hoc grids for all providers, Excel formatting is not retained when performing an Undo.

  • When you change the alias table, you will not be able to undo any previously performed actions. For example, you set the Number of Undo Actions option to 9. If you perform three ad hoc operations, such as Zoom In, Pivot, and then Keep Only, and then change the alias table, those three previously performed actions can no longer be undone. However, any supported actions you perform after changing the alias table are tracked and can be undone according to the setting in Number of Undo Actions. See Specifying the Number of Undo and Redo Actions for instructions on setting this option.

Note:

You can only undo operations that are performed in Oracle Smart View for Office. You cannot undo operations that are performed on the provider server, such as calculation status.
