Planning and Analysis in Cube Workspace
Create any report once in Excel or Sheets and share it as a live Cube Workspace report, keeping formulas and formatting intact. Now, you can publish data directly from Cube Workspace reports, enabling your team and stakeholders to refresh, filter, drill down, and update plans from one central location.
Expand/Collapse Rows & Columns
Cube's Excel and Sheets apps now include enhanced flexibility for managing report elements. Effortlessly expand hierarchical roll-ups to view the next or lowest-level items. When detailed views are no longer needed, lengthy lists of accounts, vendors, or other hierarchies can collapse instantly - no manual clean-up required.

🔧 One-click error fixes - Failed imports now include direct links and step-by-step guidance to resolve mapping and authentication issues instantly. ⏰ Smart scheduling - Quick "Schedule now" prompts help automate data imports and surface unscheduled connections. 📆 Relative date ranges - Set imports to automatically pull data from the last 3-6 months, speeding up import times and keeping data current without manual selection. 🔎 Source integration insights - View the source of your data from any drill-down or data export results, eliminating guesswork and improving data visibility. |

Conversational AI-driven data mapping
Streamline your data management with smart, command-based features when mapping dimensions in bulk. For example, simply say, “Mark all dimensions with Expenses or Cost to turn Sign Flip to Yes” or “Update Cube dimension to 210000 - Accounts Payable where Sage column shows Accounts Payable” and see an instant preview where you can accept proposed changes.
Flip signs in one-click
One of our most requested ideas—one-click sign flipping—is now available in Cube! You can flip signs for any account or applicable dimension right on Cube’s Mapping page without manual formulas, hidden settings, or contacting support.
Already have accounts where signs are flipped and tied out? No changes needed! Existing sign flips and formulas will continue working just as they always have been.

More flexible planning with tables
Tables introduce a powerful new way to manage data in Cube—allowing you to fetch and publish both numeric and non-numeric data with the same ease and structure you’re used to. Whether you’re incorporating existing Cube dimensions or creating entirely separate records, tables give you limitless dimensionality and flexibility. Our product manager, Shayan Ashtiani, has created a quick video demoing the tables functionality.
Try tables for:
- Headcount planning – Manage employee data, compare scenarios, and share filtered views securely.
Detailed line-item planning – Track contracts, projects, and capital expenditures to power your models. - Driver-based modeling – Store key assumptions and drivers by scenario for quick, flexible planning.
- Transaction reporting – Load detailed source system data into Cube and analyze it directly in your spreadsheets.

Eliminate repetitive tasks with automated dimension mapping
While tables offer new ways to organize your data, auto-mapping targets one of the biggest pain points in data management: manually creating new dimensions every time information is imported and making sure the data still ties out. This has been a highly requested feature, and we are excited to bring it to Cube.
