PAXcel

PAXcel™ by ForQuest Solutions bridges the gap between Microsoft Excel and IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) — directly in your browser. No desktop installs. No VPN dependencies. Just open Excel on any device, connect to your TM1 environment, and start working.

Unlike IBM's desktop-only Planning Analytics for Excel (PAfE), PAXcel runs as a modern Office.js web add-in, giving finance, operations, and supply chain teams instant access to TM1 data from Excel Online, Excel Desktop, and Excel for Mac — all through a single deployment.

Key Capabilities:

- Real-Time TM1 Connectivity — Read and write data directly to TM1 cubes via the REST API

- Enterprise-Grade Security — Per-user authentication with 6 auth modes including OAuth 2.0 and OIDC

- Cloud and On-Premise — PA Cloud, PA Local, hybrid, and PA 3.x environments

- Familiar TM1 Functions — DBRW, DBRA, DBSS, DIMIX directly in Excel formulas

- PA 3.x Ready — REST API + OIDC architecture aligned with IBM's v12 roadmap

PAXcel requires an IBM Planning Analytics license (sold separately by IBM).

Built by ForQuest Solutions — specialized IBM Planning Analytics consultants with 25+ years of TM1 expertise.
