Q1 2026
AI Analyst
Cube’s AI Analyst isn't just a chatbot: it is a transaction-aware engine. While other tools stop at the summary level, Cube allows you to drill into the specific receipts and line items causing budget variances, all while responding 50% faster in Slack and Teams.
AI Analyst for Excel and Google Sheets
You can ask your financial data a question in plain English, right from Excel or Google Sheets, and Cube will give you a full analysis with department breakdowns, trend insights, and even transaction-level detail. Then you can drop that data into your spreadsheet as a live range and keep working. No exports, no tab switching, no copy-paste.
MCP Server
The Cube MCP Server is now available to all customers, connecting Cube's governed data layer directly to Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible AI tool via a secure OAuth connection. Set up in under two minutes, with no exports or developer resources required — every query enforces Cube's business logic, formulas, and role-based access controls, so your AI gets governed data, not raw exports.
Workflow Enhancements
Workflow enhancements are now available for all customers, unifying the "Add" and "Edit" flows into a single experience for managing complex finance processes at scale. Finance Managers can now bulk-add or edit tasks and attachments, use conversational prompts to reassign owners or shift dates across hundreds of tasks at once, and control launch timing with a new explicit Activation flow that lets workflows be perfected in draft before notifying the organization. The update also adds the top-requested ability to permanently delete outdated workflows, keeping teams focused on active cycles.
Boards + Spreadsheets + Reports: Time Enhancements
Relative Dates and Time Shortcuts are now available in Boards widgets, Web reports, and the Spreadsheet App. Here's a quick rundown of what's new:
- Relative Dates: Select Last, Current, or Next for any time period (Month, Quarter, Year), and widgets and ranges auto-refresh based on the current date — no more manually swapping out time members every month.
- Time Shortcuts: YTD, QTD, T3M, LTD, ROY, and more are now selectable from a menu directly in the time dimension tree — the same shortcuts customers already know, with no syntax to memorize.
- "Include this period" toggle: Shift rolling ranges forward to include the current month, quarter, or year.

Undo Publish
Undo Publish lets customers reverse any publish they made themselves, as long as the data hasn't since been changed by a more recent publish, import, or system event. The undo icon is available in the Spreadsheet App's Mini Audit Trail, the Web Workspace's main Audit Trail page, and the Web Reports toolbar (for the most recent publish from that report). When triggered, the revert runs as a background task — the user gets an "Unpublish Started" toast and can keep working, then receives an email once the revert succeeds or fails, with the event logged to the Audit Trail. Note that only a user's own publishes are undoable, and write-protected scenarios block undo, following the same rules as publish.
Q2 2026
Boards
Boards brings AI-powered, customizable dashboards to Cube, built around speed, intuitiveness, and flexibility. It includes the Visualization Agent for building widgets with AI, time shortcuts and relative dates, multi-currency filtering at the board level, and drilldown from any widget. It also supports tags, custom calculated columns, custom row aggregations, waterfall enhancements, trendlines, and trend widgets.

Campfire ERP Integration
The Campfire ERP integration allows customers who run their business on Campfire to connect it directly to Cube and pull data in natively — no manual exports or spreadsheet wrangling required. Customers authenticate with their Campfire instance and sync data directly through a native connector in the Integrations tab.
Multi-Range Publish
Multi-range Publish lets customers publish every range in their workbook in a single click, on both Excel and Google Sheets. Users multi-select ranges from the existing range dropdown, click Publish, and the batch runs in the background — with one change message, one grouped audit trail entry, and one summary email per batch. Per-range validation ensures a single failure never blocks the rest of the batch, making it especially useful for teams running distributed planning across regions, functions, or business units.
Rename Custom Dimensions
Rename Dimension lets Admins rename any custom dimension directly from the Dimensions page, with changes propagating automatically across scheduled imports, Cube BI, reports, Boards, and Dashboards — no support ticket required. Admins select Rename Dimension from the More menu, choose the dimension, enter a new name, and save; dimension members don't rename automatically, so Admins are prompted to review them afterward. This gives Admins direct structural control, especially useful for accounts that have reorganized or launched with placeholder dimension names.
Delete Custom Dimensions
Delete Dimension lets Admins permanently remove a custom dimension directly from the Dimensions page, giving them a guided, self-serve path to clean up unused dimensions. Note that Cube BI reporting on that dimension will no longer be available post-deletion, so customers should migrate to Boards for dashboarding.
Comments in Cube
Comments let finance and business partners collaborate directly inside Cube — on any web report, board widget, or workflow task — instead of taking questions to screenshots, email, or Slack. Users open the Comments drawer, type a message, and use @ to tag a colleague, who then gets an email with a deep link straight to that comment; users can edit or delete their own comments, and admins can moderate anyone's. The @mention dropdown only surfaces users who already have access to that asset, so there's no directory exposure risk.
