One of the most frequently-requested features in Xcelsius is the ability to select multiple items from a standard control, such as the Xcelsius Combo Box. This is currently not possible out of the box in Xcelsius 2008, though by applying the SDK and creating a custom Flex component, we can quickly fill in this basic gap.

Learn Xcelsius from the best of the best. Mike Alexander (Xcelsius for Dummies) and Loren Abdulezer (Xcelsius 2008 Best Practices) are teaming up for the next Xcelsius Advanced Developer Workshop. Mike and Loren are two of the top Xcelsius Gurus out there. You don’t want to miss it when they start talking about Xcelsius. The agenda they put together for this workshop is very impressive. How to Enhance your Excel Data Models, Full XML connectivity, how to leverage VBA and embed Xcelsius SWFs into Excel and Access are some of the highlights of the agenda. It’s a 2 day workshop in Frisco, TX and you get plenty of hands on when these guys are around. For additional info about registration and agenda, click here.

Yesterday, we’ve posted few enhancements that were expected in the next version of SAP Business Objects Dashboard Design (F.K.A Xcelsius). Some of you who got the link via email/Twitter/LinkedIn etc must be wondering where is the post now. Well, unfortunately we had to take it down momentarily since XI4.0 is still in beta and we were asked by SAP not to post it until it is public. Although the source was anonymous, we work closely with SAP and hence honored the request. However, we promise we will be amongst the first to break the story when we get a go ahead. If we have caused any inconvenience in any way, our sincere apologies.
