Data does not update

PI DataLink caches configuration data for PI points and non-time-based data from PI AF (that is, data other than PI point data references and events). As a result, data inserted into worksheets may not update to show values based on changed configuration or non-time-based data, even when you recalculate the function. Before calculating a function, PI DataLink checks when the cache was last cleared; if the cache has not been cleared within the last six hours, PI DataLink automatically clears the cache. To clear the cache and obtain updated data sooner, do one of the following:

• Select Clear Cache on the Settings window. See Manage PI DataLink settings from Excel.

• Close and reopen Microsoft Excel.
