Cannot insert object error using Power View in Excel 2013

I created a short table in Excel 2013, positioned the cursor in the table and clicked Inset/Power View Report. I get a status window saying Excel is opening a Power View sheet but then I get a Power View error: Cannot Insert Object. I am able to insert new
tabs in the workbook. When I try the insert again, I just get the Power View error. I looked at other threads with similar issues and did the following:
Made the Formula bar visible - no change
Tried to repair Office 2013 but that option is not available when I right click on the program in the Control Panel
De-installed Silverlight - Tried to insert Power View Report. A Power View tab was created with the Power View picture and Power View ribbon. Got the message to install Silverlight and Reload. Installed Silverlight hit Reload and the Power View tab didn't
change. Hit Power View Report and got the Cannot Insert Object error message again.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Did you use PowerView first time? I notice you had found a similar thread and tested the solutions.
PowerView is an add-in in Excel2013, We must make sure that you check some option in the trust center and Add-in center.

Location1: Excel Options>Add-in>Solver Add-in enable
Location2: Excel Options> Trust Center> Add-in
Then you said that you couldn’t repair the Excel 2013, please refer to the following link:

At last, we may test it in clean boot, please refer to the following link:

Power View in Excel 2013 not staying visible

hello,
i have only been using power view (and power query) for a little while, but noticed that when i open a workbook that has power view sheets, power view is not automatically opened. when i first open the workbook, i see a large blue square on a worksheet
in order to use power view, i have to click on the power view tab, then click the power view button.
is this the way the software is suppose to work?
if it helps, i am running office professional pro plus, excel 2013, with windows 8.1
i don't know if this matters, but i checked to make sure that power view is installed and it is.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
tracy

hi ed and will,
i think you guys are spying on me - of course, i am right-clicking on the excel icon on the task bar and selecting the workbook that i want to use. isn't that why the files are there - LOL
okay, so i took the loooooooooooooong way, i opened excel, by clicking on the icon on the task bar. a blank workbook opened.
then i opened the workbook that i wanted to use
that power view window with the red circle appeared.
i opened the add-ins screen and power view is installed/enabled.
hmmm, if this hasn't been logged as an issue by someone else already, could there be something wrong with my workbook files or worse, my laptop.
i don't see a frown/smile button in excel - where is it?
this isn't looking so good.
what do you guys think is going on?

No more Count (distinct) : Power View in Excel 2013

Hello,
I used to create a Power View report using this field "Sport" where I choose
Count (Distinct)
Today this option is not available in the drop down menu. What did I miss?
Thanks

Hi,
The issue may be caused the "Sport filed" is modified or it is converted from a text (non-numeric) field to a measure. It shows the "Count" option, please see the
article. We may try to remove the filed and re-add the filed to the field list.
If you want to know more about "based Power View Reports", we can download a sample with the below link and test the steps.

Accessing Analysis Services MultiDimensional cube data with Power View in Excel

At this point in time, does Power View in Excel have the ability to connect directly to an Analysis Services multidimensional cube?
If not, is this functionality expected in the near future?
davidg12

Hi,
As far as I known, the Power View for Excel does not support the feature yet, please see this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj969574.aspx
I copied part of the article here:
Native support for Power View
With this release, multidimensional models support analysis and visualization by using Power View in SharePoint mode. No special configuration of your multidimensional models is necessary. There are however some differences in how multidimensional model
objects are displayed in Power View compared to other client tools such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Performance Point.
This release does not support analysis and visualization of multidimensional models by using Power View in Excel 2013.

We may use Power View for SQL Server 2014. For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

Cannot Insert Object in Excel 2013

I am having trouble inserting PDF's in Excel 2013. I go to Insert-->Object-->Create from File then browse to the PDF and select the checkbox for "Display as Icon." After doing this i get a generic error message that says "Cannot Insert Object." No other details.
Specs:
Windows 7 x64
Office 2013 x64
Adobe Reader X and XI. Tried them both.
What I have tried:
The most common answer I have found was to disable the enhanced security in the Adobe Reader preferences. This does not help.
I also tried downgrading from Adobe Reader XI to Reader x, disabling enhanced security. That does not work either.
I have found a workaround in Excel by going to Insert-->Package and doing it that way, but it does not show the Adobe Reader icon in the spreadsheet when it's done. If there's a way to use this method and still have the adobe icon that'd be great.
I called Microsoft support and they think this is an Adobe issue, because I can insert other things via the create from file method, just not PDF's.
Other notes:
The Insert-->Object-->Create from File method works fine in Excel 2010 so I think that Adobe Reader doesn't do well with Excel 2013.
I need the inserted PDF's in spreadsheets to look a certain way. They must have the Adobe Icon and I need to be able to change the text below the icon.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Update:
I uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried a different PDF reader and the insert in Excel works fine. I really would prefer to use Adobe though. This leads me to believe that maybe it's just a setting or something in Adobe reader. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Getting "Cannot Insert Object" message while attaching .pdf file to excel spreadsheet.

While I am trying to attach an adobe (.pdf) file in excel spreadsheet I am getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
I am following the below mentioned steps and getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
Open the adobe (.pdf) file from IE browser.
While saving the adobe file on local machine it gives warning as “This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Pro 9 or Pro Extended 9. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?” On pressing "OK" it successfully saves the file on my local machine.
While I Tried to attach the saved adobe file in a spreadsheet of excel it gives message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
Does any one have any thoughts at all as to how to solve this?

Deepika,
The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
Be well...

MSXML6 not supporting VB6 outlook.Attachments (MailItem.Attachments) getting ActiveX cannot create object error

Hi, This is about msxml4 removal from my application for security reason.
Currently in my application Outlook Addin with VB6 using Office2010 and outlook object is refering with MSOUTL.OLB from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
When unregister MSXML4.dll to remove the dependacy of it and use MSXML6.dll, My application getting error.
VB6 outlook.Attachments getting ActiveX cannot create object error
if i register msxml4.dll again, then the same is working fine.
Pls suggest how to remove msxml4 dependancy without this error
Regards,
Sathiya

Firstly, you shouldn't be messing with the system dlls.
Secondly, do you create an instance of the outlook.Attachments object (using "new" etc.)? That object cannot be created, you can only retrieve if from an Outlook item (e.g. MailItem.Attachments property).
Please show the relevant snippet of your code.

How to build high usability navigation for Power View on SharePoint 2013?

I have Power View on SharePoint 2013. I have both SSAS Multidimentional and Tabular model in use.
I have several Report.drlx file in Report libary in SharePoint.
When I click the file, it works fine, but I feel that there are usability problems like:
A) Getting back to SharePoint site is not intuitive. Difficult to find home.
B) Diffucult to move between report to another. Need to return Document library.
What is best practise for displaying several Power View reports on SharePoint?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
Just as you said, we cannot directly navigate to Home page when we view an .rdlx report in SharePoint site. We need click the Arrow to go to the previous page (Document Library), then click “Home” to navigate to Home page. If we want to move from a report
to another report, we should still use the same way. This is by design.
If you want to jump from one report to another report, we can add a hyperlink to a text box in a sheet or view. Personally, I understand your feeling and how frustrated when you find this issue. So, it is my pleasure to help you to reflect your recommendation
to the proper department for their consideration. Please feel free to submit your situation on our product to the following link:

Performance issues when using Smart View and Excel 2010

Hello, we are experiencing very slow retrieval times when using Smart View and Excel 2010. Currently on v.11.1.3.00 and moved over from Excel 2003 in the last quarter. The same spreadsheets in 2010 (recreated) are running much slower than they used to in 2003 and I was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems?
It looks like there is some background caching going on as when you copy and paste the contents into a new file and retrieve it is better.....initially. The size of the files are generally less than 2mb and there aren't an expecially large number of subcubes requested so I am at a loss to explain or alleviate the issues.
Any advice / tips on how to optimise the performance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Office 2010 (32 bit) only is supported.
Also check these documents:
Refresh in Smart View 11.1.2.1 is Slow with MS Office 2010. (Doc ID 1362557.1)

If I select List Filter mode and try to achieve this it works fine no issue but when I use range filter this weird problem occurs. Can't I select multiple values using Range Filter Mode ? Isn't that's what it is intended to do ? Is it a known bug ? Any kind
of prior experience or help would be much appreciated.

Cannot connect to specific Cube through BI Semantic Model for Power View in SharePoint 2013

I'm trying to create a connection to an Analysis Services Cube through a BI Semantic Model connection in SharePoint 2013 to create a Power View report. I'm able to connect to other cubes on the same server, and I have SQL Server 2012 SP1 Update 9 installed
so it's not a versioning issue.
I've captured a log of two different connection attempts to show this in action. I can't post links, but just send me a message if you need it, just in case there's any interest in it. The first is a successful connection to an alternate cube
on the same server, and the second is an unsuccessful attempt that produces and error with "Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred.".
On the SharePoint side, the error is reported as:
Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.AdomdTestConnectionException: Internal error: An unexpected exception
occurred.
This cube was working the previous day, but it has since been edited and it no longer works now but there's no clear reason why. It can still be queried directly through SSMS with MDX queries, and produces no errors.
Any help is much appreciated,
Ryan

Hi Ryan Myers,
According to your description, when you tried to connect to an Analysis Services Cube in SharePoint 2013 through BI Semantic Model, you get the error message: Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. But the MDX queries works fine in SSMS.
It's hard to give you the exact reason that cause this issue based on the limited information, please validate if the connection string is correct. Besides, we can troubleshoot this issue by using the Windows Event logs and msmdsrv.log.
We can access Windows Event logs via "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer". SSAS error messages will appear in the application log.
The msmdsrv.log file for the SSAS instance that can be found in \log folder of the instance. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Log)

What Performance Load for simulationg end-use load for Power View and Excel Services?

I have SQL Server 2014 DW, OLAP Cube, SharePoint 2013, Power View(Silverlight) and Excel Services.
I would like to monitor performance with perfmon and analyse results with PAL.
But how to generate end-user load for 1000 users? We would have several end-user roles to simulate each clicking differents slicers in reports.
What tools are capable for this?
Any experiences about HP Loadrunner or Neoload with MS BI tools?
Does Microsoft have any compatible load generation tool?
Kenny_I

Simplest:
Write an MDX script with randomized parameter to be executed in a loop using SSMS.
Run the script in 50 SSMS query windows. Run it on 20 machines (20x50 = 1000).

Error using Disco Viewer 10.1.2 through vpn

We have upgraded Discoverer from release 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.
When using Discoverer Viewer 9.0.4 through a VPN connection (Oracle Application Server is on the other side of the VPN) the browser waits for pages for a while then it displays them correctly.
When using Discoverer Viewer 10.1.2 in the same network configuration the browser displays part of the page (it seems that it tries to display it in an incremental way) then it shows the error page (the classic error page for the browser: "impossible to display the page: the page is not available at the moment....").
When using Viewer 10.1.2 from inside the LAN this error does not occur.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance

The problem seems to be related to the release of the browser.
For example with MS IE 6.0.2900 this problem occurs, while with MS IE 6.0.2800 it doesn't.
I understand that this issue is related to timings in communication between browser and application server, but why didn't it occur with 9.0.4 release???
