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.

  • SSDT - Using a SharePoint list data feed as source - "column does not exist in the rowset" error

    Hey guys!
    So, I want to use a SharePoint list data to create a cube/tabular model, in order to make a complex analysis in PPS using MDX.
    To create the tabular model, I'm using the SS Data Tools, and importing a feed from the respective SharePoint list (using the _vti_bin/listdata.svcextension and then selecting the list(s) I wanna to import).
    Everything looks fine and smooth, I can select and preview the data in the table import wizard, but in the end, when importing, I always get this error IF the table has one or more row of data (if the table is empty, it's ok...) - the <...>
    column doesn't exist in the rowset.
    (Curiously, when I have the same procedure in PowerPivot for Excel, I have no problems, everything works fine. The problem is that then I get again errors if I try to create a tabular model on SSDT importing a PowerPivot file).
    Here's the error:
    Had you already tried this in SSDT? Are you experiencing the same trouble?
    Best regards, and thanks in advance!

    I noticed something else too.
    I can't process Tabular Models on both SSDT and SSMS (2012), but I can process Tabular Models created on PowerPivot.
    I tried to create a Data Feed connection on PowerPivot, and it was successfully created. However, if restoring the PowerPivot Tabular DB on my SSAS Tabular instance and processing (full) the model through SSMS, it won't work.
    Is there anything different on PowerPivot and SSDT related with Partitioning or connections to the data sources?

    Update:
    When trying to Restore a PowerPivot file on my SSAS Tabular Server and full process the model:
    The operation failed because the source does not contain the requested column. You can fix this problem by updating the column mappings.
    More Details:
    The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
    An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb' in table 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb'.
    The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
    X is the first column of the source table, no matter if I chose others on the PowerPivot table.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
    In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
    For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
    "Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
    To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:      
    <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
    UseShortId=false
    id="OLListItemLike"
    runat="server"
    Text="My Like"
    ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
    ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
    />
    To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
    <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
    UseShortId=false
    id="OLListItemDelete"
    runat="server"
    Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
    ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
    ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
    />            
    The result is as below:
    More information:
    MenuItemTemplate Class (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)
    MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

  • PowerPivot report data refresh error Data source as SharePoint list Data Feed

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem on auto refresh, the report data source is SharePoint list Data Feed, I saved it my PC desktop when I set up auto fresh it fails then I moved the SharePoint list data feed "atomsvc" file to A SharePoint Data feed library then connected
    to report started a manual refresh it was success, after next schedules it failed.
    Error massage:

    If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation.  Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.

  • How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

    How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
    I currently run OS X 10.10.1
    Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
    Here is an example of what i want to happen.
    I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
    Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
    for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
    Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

  • How to connect a SharePoint List to a SharePoint Calendar?

    I am looking to connect a SharePoint List to a SharePoint Calendar within SharePoint 2013.  Is this idea feasible, and if so in what way could it be accomplished?

    if you have developed custom form using visual studio then you can add item to calendar through code, other options are event receiver and workflow.
    Event receiver will need custom coding using visual studio and if you have expertise on workflows then you can add an item using workflow task.

  • How to take list backup with lookup columns data in sharepoint 2010

    Hi friends,
    I have one issue on "Copy the list in one sitecollection to another sitecollection"
    I have one list like "ABC" and with lookup column "Status" this column is looked to anthor list columns
    My task is i want to Copy the same list with lookup columns with Data(lookup columns Data) in one site and restored in another site.
    Error  is Lookup columns Data is not coming.
    How to Copied list with lookup columns data to restored in another list?
    Badri

    i think there is no such method to move the list with lookup column. 
    couple of things which cause the failure, Number Source list may be not available on the target site collection, Column IDs / List IDs different from Site collection a to B.
    I would try to use the backup of site collection and restore it, i am not sure whether it will work not.
    i think copy the data from the lookup clomn in the excel, then move the list to different site collection with blank data then copy the data from excel to new list.
    check this one for another idea:

    Hi Millard1,
    From your descripton, it seems you want to use SharePoint list as a data souce. If so, you should export the SharePoint as data feed in your SharePoint site, and then create a new PowerPivot table that contains the list. Here are some articles for your reference,
    please see:
    Use Data Feeds (PowerPivot for SharePoint):

  • Cannot refresh data in Excel Services with SQL Azure databases

    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.

  • External content based SharePoint list date/time information wrong

    So, we have a SQL Server database that contains date/time type data.
    When we look at the info in the database, the date and times appear to be in GMT, which is 5 hours before our time.
    So, we set up views with a DATEADD calculation to compensate for the difference. When we use the view, the dates and times match our timezone info.
    We then set up an external content to our view.
    When the data is displayed in rows and columns, we see times that are 10 hours before GMT.
    We had put in the dateadd calculations because when we had scripts that grabbed the data from SQL Server and put them into text files, the dates and times were all 5 hours off.
    Is there code within the External data connectors (or SharePoint itself) which compensate for the time zones?
    Thanks!

    Hi Iwvirden,
    When you create an External Content Type and External List using the SharePoint Designer, DateTime fields are normalized to UTC using the NormalizeDateTimesetting
    associated with the TypeDescriptor for the DateTime field. This leads to the date field wrong in Business
    Connectivity Services.
    To fix this issue, you can change the normalization to use local time as follows:
    <TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.DateTime"
    Name="DueDate" DefaultDisplayName="Due Date">
    <Interpretation>
    <NormalizeDateTime LobDateTimeMode="Local" />
    </Interpretation>
    </TypeDescriptor>
