Issues that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

PerformancePoint Planning issues

 * The property value for a filter does not display the filter selection in a form. Instead, it displays the member label.
 * You cannot select the members of a Member View that is used in a Microsoft Excel filter.
 * The page filter tree is always fully expanded when it is opened. This causes performance issues when large dimensions are used.

PerformancePoint Monitoring issues

 * If the user has not previewed the Scorecard, the conditional visibility does not work for all languages.
 * When you select the &quot;multi-select tree&quot; display method, the Scorecard is displayed incorrectly for a filter. The Scorecard is typically displayed on an incorrect column.
