Add check 'if no new data in a cube' after refresh of data source.
Typical checks: data for yesterday, data for today.
Can be dummy data source, that query one date without details.
E.g. after refresh of DS - run macro, that will make a check (macro as can be any logic). Result of macro - true / false. If false - postpone refresh.
Keep process alive or tell external 'refresh' about required postpone?

If handle locally -concern about sustainability of BOA, enable/disable, logon/logoff - test.
add parameters to ControlTable - "Delay", "Delay try (min)". After run of 'after DS macro' main sub Refresh will check indicator of delay (true/false), if yes - saplogoff, disable BOA, Sleep for specified minutes, start Refresh from the beginning.
If external Reports Controller (independent) - ?

Update Power Point Tables - "XL_" logic.
Using Title of tables in Power Point, assign them unique name XL_TABLE_NAME.

Macro goes through XL_ named ranges and update cell by cell values in Power Point.

Consider - for CSV don't save entire workbook - just copy sheet to a new wb

Add option to store password in registry instead of txt file.

One of popular scenario - make PDFs from Excel. Sometimes it is handy to have XL version of PDF. So, idea it to add parameter to 'Save As' action, that will allow to save only print area. Transfer values and formats to a new workbook.

Function doesn't work when sheet contains pivot table

Handle pivot tables when replace formulas to values
Check if sheet contains pivot table
If yes - replace formulas one by one
If sh.pivottables count > 0 - then new worksheet + copy / paste from old to new with values and formats
Else - just replace in-place

Would be good to have refresh log in a separate file.
To be able to support files on SharePoint, better to store logs locally, e.g. in system Temp folder, or specified by user in parameter.
