6.6.0
released on October 11th 2024
DeltaMaster 6.6.0 brings improvements for both the business applications and for system operation. If you select multiple cells or cell ranges in a Graphical Table, DeltaMaster now automatically calculates their sum, count, average and other statistical values and displays them in the status bar. You can copy them to the clipboard with a mouse click – important for planning. We have adapted the Bissantz’Numbers in Graphical Tables slightly but effectively, based on the design of the DeltaApp: Only the digits are scaled typographically. This makes them even more prominent and the overall appearance lighter. There is now a Semantic Zoom in the time series analysis, similar to sparklines: You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in, work your way towards sections that deserve more attention and create space where points or lines cluster or overlap. Applications in an enterprise environment benefit from new options for authentication against the Active Directory (Entra ID) and for parallel use of a database by several service instances.
All features in detail
- General: allowing parallel operation of multiple DeltaMaster Service instances accessing the same database
- Graphical Table: display of Bissantz’Numbers refined (only digits scaled typographically)
- Graphical Table: displaying link target in separate window in the web client
- Graphical Table: displaying and copying statistical values for selected cells or cell ranges in the status bar (e.g. sum, count, average)

6.5.9
released on August 16th 2024
When installing DeltaMaster 6.5.9, you can also install the new Bissantz Analytics Kit for Power BI and Analysis Services. In Graphical Tables, Bissantz’Numbers can be activated in presentation mode and applied temporarily with a mouse click. This allows you to give impressive presentations and makes it easier to understand the figures. With regard to planning, we have improved the merging of cells with row or column headers: This makes it possible to break down a product turnover into the sales quantity and the price, for example, even with nested axes. When modeling SQL applications, a new filter option improves the overview of tables and their fields. We have already presented these functions in the “Bissantz Spotlight” webinar. There are also technical improvements, such as support for IDS mode in the extension menu or to speed up queries in MDX planning applications.
All features in detail
- Graphical Table: displaying Bissantz’Numbers temporarily in presentation mode using mouse pointer or mouse click on headings (Report menu)
- Graphical Table: assigning user-defined filter mapping to linked report in the web client

DeltaMaster 6.5.8 brings further improvements for working with tabular models and in particular with Microsoft Power BI. For example, Power BI can now be connected at the touch of a button: DeltaMaster can access running applications in Power BI Desktop and can even be run from there as an external tool. The total value as a separating criterion for top and bottom, as known from PowerSearch and the Ranking module, is now also available in the navigation and the ranking in Graphical Tables. This is particularly useful when analyzing percentages, such as shares or relative variances. Multilingual applications benefit from the fact that additional labeling elements can now be maintained in alias sets. Changes to the repository are relevant for IT.
