Excel Services 2013 Bug - Automatic or Periodic Data Refreshes Doesnt Update

All,
I have heard from other colleagues that there is a problem with SP2013 Excel Services Automatic Refresh. Specifically, when you set the data connection properties to
Refresh data when opening a file, no error is generated upon open, but it DOES NOT refresh the spreadsheet with new data.
Manual Refresh First. What I did to test this was configure an AS tabular model with AdventureWorksDW as the data source. Loaded the AdventureWorks Tabular project. Created an ODC pointing to the resulting cube instance.
(Made all of the required Excel Services configurations.) Then pointed a workbook to this data source to populate a Pivot Table. Saved it to SharePoint in a trusted location. ODC saved to SharePoint in a trusted data connection library. Finally,
I configured the connection properties to NOT Refresh data when opening the file. Saved it. Go to my in browser Excel Services file, and click
Data | Refresh All Connections. WORKS! Great.
Next up: Automatic Data Refresh. I made a copy of the same workbook. Connected to the same data connection file. Went into the properties of the connection on the copied workbook and checked
Refresh data when opening the file. Saved. Updated relational data in database. Reprocessed the tabular model. Re-opened the Automatic refresh workbook. Numbers stay the same.
I've tried also setting Refresh every setting on
Usage tab of Connection Properties dialog to low number. No change. Tried reducing the Excel Services External Data Cache Lifetime auto refresh setting to 10 seconds. Nothing, no change. Nothing seems to work to get Auto refresh
working. Manual refresh works great. Has anyone else seen this bug? Is there a hot fix? Anyone know if there is something else to try?
UPDATE: In the ULS log, what we see if the following line:
BaseWorkbook.PrepareConnectionsAsync: Refresh skipped. Could not find the data connection name - defaulting to previous state. sessionId=..., dataconnection=
Note: the dataconnection value at the end is empty.

Hi,
Thank you for your question. I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Thanks,

Pass Parameter Through REST API into PivotChart in Excel Services 2013

Is it possible to pass a parameter through the REST API into the filter of a PivotChart and return a filtered view of the chart? I've figured it out mechanically, and can pass the parameter in - but the chart doesn't refresh with the new filter.
For the record, I've looked at all of the online documentation on passing parameters and you'll note those all depict passing parameters into a table - not a PivotTable.
Curious if Excel Services 2013 has made any progress in that regard.
Thanks in advance...

Can we see dynamic data on charts using Excel Services

hi all,
i would like to know if there is any option in SharePoint 2013 for developing dynamic "responsive/interactive Charts" with SQL server as data source. And the connection should be there online, i mean the charts should refresh data based on
the SQL data all the time.
When i saw the feature of excel service, i could see only retrieving of data using data connection from sql and after adding that data to workbook, we can create responsive charts with required filters. However, i dint see option of data refresh from external
source without opening the excel work book.
What i want is, once i added the chart using chart webpart, if any new data is added or modified in external data source i.e., like SQL in my case, the chart should automatically updated with new changes in the data.
please let me know if my requirement can be fulfilled using OOB.
thank you beforehand .
Thanks & Regards Raj

Hi ALL,
Linda, I know you are only trying to help but when you answer questions where you don't know the answer you only mislead the user asking the question at best but every one else who reviews the post... we have been performing data refresh on page
render and every 5 minutes by default since SharePoint 2007. We build Business Intelligence Dashboards and Score Cards using Live data with Excel Services, and features like PowerPivot, PowerView
Data in a Microsoft Office Excel workbook that has been displayed in Excel Services can come from two different locations. The data may be stored directly in the workbook, or it may be stored in an external data source, such as in a database or
in an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube.
If the data comes from an external data source, the workbook author or administrator has defined the connection information, often in an Office data connection (.odc) file, which describes how to locate, log in, query, and access the external data source.
When you are connected to an external data source, you can perform a refresh operation to retrieve the updated data. Each time that you refresh data, you see the most recent version of the data, including any changes that were made to the data since it was
last refreshed.
Refresh all connections
On the Excel Web Access toolbar, under the Update menu, click
Refresh All Connections.
Periodic refresh
By using Office Excel 2007, the workbook author can specify that data automatically refreshes at a specified interval after the workbook is opened for each connection in the workbook. For example, an inventory database may be updated every hour, and so the
workbook author has defined the workbook to automatically refresh every 60 minutes. For more information, see Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Help.
A Web Part author can select or clear the Allow Excel Web Access Periodic Data Refresh property to enable or disable this periodic refresh operation, if the property has been defined by the workbook author. When the time interval elapses,
by default, the following refresh alert prompt is displayed at the bottom of the Excel Web Access Web Part:
Refresh data for <List of Connections>? (Now) (Always) (Don't ask me again)
An Excel Web Access Web Part author can also set the Display Periodic Data Refresh Prompt property to control the behavior of the message that is displayed when Excel Services performs a periodic data refresh during a session:
Always      means that the message is displayed with a prompt at each interval.
Optionally      means that a user can choose to continue periodic refresh without displaying a message.
Never      means that Excel Web Access performs a periodic refresh without displaying a message or prompt.
For more information, see
Excel Web Access Web Part custom properties.
I have only listed a couple of the ways you can have Excel services update external data, this is not an exhaustive list

Excel Services and User Specific Data

Hello,
I am new to Excel Services.
I want to retrieve data to Excel Services (at this phase, to prevent it in Excel Web Part) from SQL Server.
The SQL might hold big amount of data so I think about fetching only the data relevant to each user.
I configured a pivot table over a data connection with Windows Authentication, and when I refresh it I get the following message "The data connection uses windows authentication and user credentials could not be delegated". I think the Windows
Authentication is required in order to pass information about the user to the SQL query so it can filter for the relevant data.
My questions are as follows:
Can I pass user information from the Excel model file to the SQL server in a way different from Windows Authentication?
Alternatively, if I retrieve the data unfiltered to Excel Services, and filter only the pivot, will I get the same performance?
Would the answers change if Excel and/or SharePoint version is changed from 2010 to 2013 or Online/365?
Any other idea?
Regards,
Barak

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to filter Excel Services Data.
You can you can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to a Current User Web Part or a Filter Web Part to pass user information. Please refer to:
Personalized Data in Excel Services
You will get the same performance.
You can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to a Current User Web Part in all versions.

Incorrect data value selected when clicking on slicer entry in Excel Services

We have uploaded various Excel 2013 files containing pivot tables to Sharepoint 2013 and viewed the pivot tables in a browser. The referenced pivot table data is normally a SSAS tabular model. This has been working fine for over 12 months apart
from one irritating feature.
Sometimes a clicked slicer entry does not result in the correct slicer value being selected. This typically occurs after using the mouse scroll button to scroll down a list of entries in a slicer. When using the keyboard arrow keys to highlight a slicer
value and pressing Return to select an entry, the correct value does always seem to be selected - so it appears to point to a mouse scrollwheel issue. Also, after scrolling through slicer entries using the mouse scroll wheel, there appears to be some sort
of slicer refresh problem that results in a blank entry/entries being displayed either at the top or bottom of a slicer. However, sometimes the correct 'tooltip' is shown for this blank slicer entry. One other point - when using the slicer scrollbar the scroll
down a list of slicer entries using Firefox, the problem does not seem to occur. IE does not seem to display the same type of slicer scrollbars (only active when the mouse hovers over the slicer) and so this is more difficult to replicate in Ie.
The worrying factor is that the user is often unaware that the incorrect slicer value has been selected. The problem can be replicated in both IE11 and Firefox. Also our client systems accessed via Citrix display the same problems.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Graham,
i built the same version, please correct me if should your environment, is sharepoint 2013 with march 2013 update and your office also the same update. in my labbox seems the issue is not re-producible.
after some discussion with my colleague, seems there was issue similar like this back in 2010 Excel and the remedy is to update the excel services and to re-install the power pivot at SQL server. back then the issue is because when we scroll the selection,
it should be locked, so then when we scroll it may have the position to update and refresh the data. one of the workaround is by clicking the item and press enter, by doing this it will refresh the page correctly. the link was:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29074
i tried to look at our update for the excel services 2013, there are updates in every cumulative updates but there is no particlular update regarding this issue, perhaps you may try this to check in your development environment, if should it may fix the
issue.
to re-install the power pivot, you may need to do this on your sql side.　
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210708.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210671.aspxi may suggest you to check the ULS log, if should there are issues with powerpivot also, to make sure if should there are no issue
regarding power pivot. if there is no issues on the powerpivot, then you may need to open a ticket to report this issue, so that we can have a detailed checking to your environment remotely.

Unable to read data in Excel 2010/2013 from encrypted Access 2010/2013 database

A customer has an Access database (.accdb), which was encrypted/given a database password in Access 2013. It should be possible to read that data from Excel 2010/2013, but when clicking on Data-->From Access
and the correct path is put in and the correct database password has been entered, Excel just keeps prompting for the database password. This happens with both Excel 2010 and 2013.
The database password supplied is correct as evidenced by opening the database in Access 2013 using the same database password.
A colleague in a separate company has found that a separate .accdb file he has recently encrypted also has the same problem as above, yet a .accdb file encrypted ages ago
is readable from Excel.
How do I get Excel 2010/2013 to read the data from the encrypted .accdb file, please?

Since Access 2010 the encryption algorithm has changed:
Source
Follow the next steps to apply an encryption method that will allow you to (programmatically) connect to the database:
1. Decrypt the database
2. Change the encryption method:
   - In Access Options select 'Client Settings'
   - Scroll down to section 'Advanced'
   - 'Encryption Method': select option 'Use legacy encryption (..'
   - Click 'OK'
3. Encrypt the database
Hope this helps.

Excel 2007 error when displaying GL Planning Data (GP12NA)

Dear All,
T-code:GP12NA
When i display the GL Planning Data using the integration with office excel 2007, the cell automatically becomes to date and time format on the value field.
But when i display using integration with office excel 2003, the GL Planning data is displayed correctly.
Appreciate if someone could address me on this issue.
Many thanks.

Hi Jason,
I did not able to solve the problem.
Alternatively, I created 2 planning layout assigned to one planning profile.
1. Layout 1 - Integrated with excel (tick)
I used this layout for for uploading GL planning figures using the t-code GLPLUP.
2. Layout 2 - Integrated with excel (do not tick)
To display the GL Planning figures, i used this profile in t-code GP12NA. By this way, the figures are correctly displayed without any formatting error.
I assume this due to patches that needs to be upgraded in order display excel 2007 correctly.
Please reply me if you need further clarification.

External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

Hi All,
I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
This is the error:
And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
"External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
Excel Workbook
So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
My Environment
My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
Data Model Settings
In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
But I could be wrong.
Unattended Account
I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
ODC Connections in Excel
I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
Not in WOPI
I am not in WOPI mode.
AD Accounts
I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
Isolate the Error
Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
It Works Outside of SharePoint
If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
"Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
"Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
"--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
2 = Tabular mode mode
How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.

Excel Services with SharePoint List Data in SharePoint 2013 - Chart is not refreshing automatically

Hi Everyone,
This is My req: I m going to display pie chart and Bar chart in share point 2013.
Steps I have follwed:
1. Export the list to excel.
2.Using the Power Pivot table I have done the chart.
3. Uploaded into document Library.
4. Added into the web part.
Chart are displaying. But When ever user added the data into the list chart is refreshing.
Is there any option to refresh the data in chart? Waiting for valuable replies.
Regards, Manoj Prabakar

SharePoint lists as data sources in Excel Services is not supported.That's the reason refreshing is not working. There are some work around you can use -
Export as Data Feed - Export your SharePoint list as Data Feed , use this data feed to a PowerPivot for Excel workbook and publish this PowerPivot using Excel Services.
User-defined functions - write UDF in C# and extend the Excel Services functionality to work with SharePoint lists.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb267252(office.12).aspx#Office2007ExcelServicesUnlimited_SharePointLists
Web Services API -
The Web Services API can be used to push data from a database and then refresh the data in a SharePoint Server list by using Excel Services.
JavaScript Object Model - The JavaScript Object Model for Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides many solutions for Excel Services.

Problem while refreshing the data for the second time using excel services in sharepoint 2013...

Hi,
I have migrated my Sharepoint from 2010 to 2013.I am able to get the data at the first time of refresh when I click on refresh for the second time I am getting the empty the sheet.
below find the flow of refresh
First Refresh
On Click of refresh open the workbook with excel services and return the session id.
Using that session I am invoking RefrehAsync method of excel services
After refresh completed I am setting the calculation of workbook as automatic(to calculate the formulas) using the same session id
After setting the calculation as Automatic I am setting the calculation type as full(recalculate) using the same session id.
Now I am able to see the data
Second Refresh
After clicking on refresh instead of opening the workbook I am using the session id(already opened workbook) and setting the calculation type as manual
I am following the same process from refresh(RefreshAsync) as I have followed in first refresh.
This time my formulas are not getting calculated because of that I am not able to see the data.
Could you please let me know that am I missing anything here?
Is this know issue in Sharepoint2013 excel services as same code is working fine with Sharepoint2010.
If I close the workbook(session id null) and opens(new session id) for all the refreshes it is working and I am able to see the data.
Thanks,
Meenakshi Nagpal
N.Meenakshi

I am able to see the data for the second refresh if I change the data source.If I use the same data source which is used in the first refresh I am not getting the data.Excel services will contact the cubes and calculate the formulas in my workbook.
Could you please let me know what could be the problem at second refresh while contacting the same data source with same session id?
Please help me asap.
Thanks,

Excel Services Refresh method not working in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
In our application, we open excel services workbook in sharepoint 2013. Using sessionid of the workbook, we called Refresh and CalculateWorkbook methods in that order. After Calculateworkbook method, I see time stamps in LastUpdatedTime for each connection
in 'Connections' tab of excel workbook. When Refresh method is called again after CalculateWorkbook method, the LastUpdatedTime for the connections becomes blank.
When I use sharepoint 2010, the temstamp is not becoming blank after refresh.
I think due to this reason we see blank data on our reports. Can somebody tell whether there is a problem with Refresh method in sharepoint 2013? Or is there somebody facing problem with excel services in sharepoint 2013? Any pointers can help.
Thanks,
Pranava

Hi，
For your issue, verify if Excel files are rendered by Office Web Apps:
When Office Web Apps is responsible for the rendering the URL will look something like this:
https://server/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc=/Documents/excel.xlsx&….
And when Excel Calc is rendering the document it should look like the following:
https://server/_layouts/15/xlviewer.aspx?id=/Documents/excel.xlsx&…
Here is an article about how to enable pdf preview with OWA:

Cannot refresh data in Excel Services with SQL Azure databases

I am using Excel Services on a SharePoint Online.
I get my data from a SQL Azure. When i create my Excel repor with Excel 2013 pro I have no problem. So I upload my file on my Sharepoint and try to refresh data.
Connexion : Power Query - RPT_Event_ByEventType
Erreur : Erreur sur site (OnPremise) : Sorry, the data source for this data connection isn't registered for Power BI. Ask your Power BI
admin to register the data source in the Power BI admin center.
I do not understad why I get that error because my data source is on Azure why It told me "OnPremise" ?

hi,
>> this button of excel gets just address of web and have button for import it
i test it by rest API project , but doesn't work, do you know how it is work?
Do you mean that you don't know how to get the table? You may input the site address into the address box, and then click go button nearby, select the table you want to import into the Excel. Then click import button.That also works for rest API,
and your rest API should get the data that you want
By the way, this is the forum for discussions about Excel develop(VBA ,customization), better to go to TechNet forum for Excel for Excel features question, so that you could get more professional help.

How scheduling the data refresh for a published Excel workbook - SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I've implemented an Excel workbook that connects to a SSAS Tabular data source and I've published it on SharePoint.
Now, how can I implement a scheduled data refresh if it is possible?
Thanks

Hi pscorca,
If my understanding is correct , you want to implement a scheduled data refresh on SharePoint 2013 and the data is from a SSAS Tabular data source.

Data refresh in background for an Excel workbook published on a SharePoint 2013 site

Hi,
I've created a site to publish some Excel workbooks on a SharePoint 2013 farm with Excel Services.
I'd like to run in background the data refresh against the cube connected to Excel, so when the end user will open the workbook he already will see the updated data without any waiting times.
How can I solve this issue, please?
Keep attention: I don't talk about PowerPivot for SharePoint.
Thanks

did you try to use the
unattended service account for authentication to external data, in order to refresh the excel data?
