Publishing Excel WorkBook in SharePoint 2013

I have deployed Excel Services, SSRS and BI in SharePoint 2013. The Site BI has been identified as a Trusted location for Excel Services. When I publish a Excel workbook to a document library of the BI site, I get an error "Upload
failed Your Changes were saved but could not be uploaded because of an error. You may be able to upload this file using the server Web Page".. Before uploading the file, I have selected the whole sheet and in Formula Tab, selected define name, and
provided a name for the Sheet. I also have Office Web App servers deployed for the Farm.
Appreciate assistance to fix the problem. This is my first try to publish Excel Workbook using Excel services.
Thanks

Hi MP,
For your issue, please provide detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
Also you can have a look at the similar thread:

"External Data Refresh Failed" in Excel Workbook in SharePoint 2013

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help me sort this out. I wasn't sure if this should be submitted to SQL Server 2012 or SharePoint 2013 but I think I have ruled out an actual SQL issue here.
I have a test SharePoint 2013 Farm installed on one server. On that server we have SQL Server 2012 Standard (Database Engine Only) installed as one instance for SharePoint 2013. SharePoint 2013 is installed as Enterprise.
On another server I have SQL Server 2012 Enterprise installed I have both the Database Engine and Analysis Services installed on that server in one Instance.
I have created a new Analysis Services Cube and stored in on that server using VS 2012 Data Tools.   I then use Office 2013 Excel and create a new Pivot Table and bring in that data into that workbook. I save that workbook to my desktop and
can click on the DATA tab and do a "Refresh All" and the data is refreshed with no problem.
I then Save that Workbook to SharePoint 2013 in my Business Center documents library. I then try to do a Data Refresh and get the following error: External Data Refresh Failed. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in the workbook. The following
connections failed to refresh: servername ConnectionName.
Let me tell you a little bit about how I have my SharePoint 2013 setup.
In Application Management ==> Secure Store Service - I have a Target Application Id setup with an AD account name and password.
In Application Management ==> Excel Services Application Settings - I an using an Unattended Service Account that is pointing to the Target Application ID that I setup in Secure Store Service.
Now in SQL Server 2012. I have made the AD account name and password a SYSADMIN account (because nothing seemed to work) and mapped that login to my Database that I created my cube from.
I have went into the Properties of my Analysis Server on SQL Server 2012 and out that AD userid in the Security Page as a Server Administrator.
Now let me tell you the real kicker here.
I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm that we have been testing for about a year. This is something we wanted to go into production with but now have decided we will deploy our new production site on 2013.
This has the same setup only I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 as my database for SharePoint 2010, and am using SQL Server 2008 R2 on another server and instance for Database Engines and Analysis Server.
I have already created a cube on the SQL 2008 r2 Analysis Server using BIDS.
I created a Excel Pivot Table based on that cube and save it to the SharePoint 2013 site.
I then put the SSS AD account name on the SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Security as Administrator.
I pull up that Excel Workbook and go into Data and do a Refresh All and it works.
I then bring up my copy of the Excel workbook I created for my SQL Server 2012 Cube (this does not work on SP 2013) and save it to my Business Center in SP 2010. This will do a DATA Refresh on that workbook.
Another thing that I have done, (we have Office Web Apps Server running on the SP 2013 side), is set SPWOPISuppressSetting -view -extension xlsx so that when I bring up the Excel spreadsheet in 2013 it has a url with the xlviewer instead of the WOPI
url.
OK. I have went through all of my setup.   I am must wondering if I missed something in my install for this. HELP.   There can't be that much difference in the installation between 2010 and 2013.
Thanks in Advance everyone.

After many hours of research and totally burning down my SQL Server 2012 server because of the many changes I made to it, I finally found the issue that caused this and specifically why SP would not work with SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services. This
time I reinstalled SQL Server 2012 from scratch again but only put SP1 on at this time. I can't be completely sure this fixed the issue since I have not put any of the other CU on the box. But, after the reinstall, everything seemed to work
perfectly from the Excel Services side.
The issue I then ran into was that I could not get my PerformancePoint Services to work with my Cubes that were created on SQL Server 2012. I received Error Message " The DataSource Provider for data sources of type 'ADOMD.NET' is not registered" on
my SharePoint 2013 Server Event Viewer.
I finally found this post on the issue:
http://yossidahan.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/cant-get-ssas-databases-to-appear-in-performance-point-dashboard-designer-check-you-adomd-net-version/
Seems that SP 2013 is built to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services, so you need to install the ADOMD.net from SQL Server 2008 in order for it to work.   But make sure you install Version 10 since if you install any other it doesn't seem to
work.
I feel like I wasted a whole month tracking these issues down, and I haven't been able to test PowerView, PowerPivot or SSRS yet. I hope there is not any more.

Cannot publish Excel workbook to Sharepoint 2010 : "You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location"

I am trying to save an Excel 2010 file to a Sahrepoint 2010 document library but keep getting the error:
"You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location"
Googling this suggests enabling "Desktop Experience" on the server which I have done. Excel Services Application is Started.
Has anyone come across this and been able to resolve successfully? I am wondering if this is more security related but the security set-up looks fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Sally, thanks for the response. Problem is the issue occurs with all users not just me.
On the server-side do you know if the full Office installation must exist for this to work?
The reason I think it may be security related in some way is that on another server we can access one site collection but not another. The first site collection shows the various libraries available and the other gives the same error: "You
can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location".
It's proving to be very frustrating!

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjana,
To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
<style>
div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
display:none !important;
</style>
As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
If I click Try again I get the message below also:
If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
Can these files be viewed in the browser?
I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
Best regards.

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

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 of Excel file on Sharepoint 2013 Online (E3)

Is it possible to refresh data in an Excel PowerPivot model from external data (SQL Server 2012) on the
SharePoint 2013 Online solution that comes with the Office365 E3 plan?
I need to either have the Excel file itself on the public facing website with data refresh there, or possibly have the Excel file in a private Business Intelligence Center subsite and then publish webparts or whatever on the public site, as long as the charts
are refreshed and publicly viewable. I've found a lot of conflicting info on this.
Re
D

Currently, when a workbook that contains a Data Model is published to a library in Office 365, data refresh is unavailable.
However, you can use a PowerShell script to configure a workaround.

Missing Excel Services in Sharepoint 2013

Can anyone please help me understand why Excel services is not available to add as a service?
What is missing?

Hi GaryB92,
Excel Services is an Enterprise feature. Do you have an Enterprise product key, and has your company purchased Enterprise client licenses (eCALs) for the users that need to use Excel Services? Your Microsoft Account Manager can tell you if you aren't
sure.
If you are licensed for it then from Central Admin you can select "Upgrade and Migration" > "Enable Enterprise Features" and then go ahead and select the Enterprise radio button and then ok. You should note though, that you cannot downgrade the
farm back to use only Standard features though.
Note that depending on the key originally entered when installing the product, you may need to select "Convert farm license type" first and put in a correct Enterprise product key.
Also note that in 2013 there is a new User License Enforcement capability to help ensure that your environment complies with the actual MS user licenses purchased. Here is a useful article on this: http://www.petri.co.il/sharepoint-2013-user-license-enforcement.htm
There's also an easy to search SP2013 feature matrix by license type here - http://blog.blksthl.com/2013/01/14/sharepoint-2013-feature-comparison-chart-all-editions/

PowerPivot excel chart in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I would like to know to see the powerpivot chart in SharePoint using Excel Web Access wepart, do we need to install Powerpivot feature in SharePoint.
In my Environment, we have excel service application is configured therefore we have one excel file which has powerpivot chart in it and later uploaded in SharePoint. We are now not able to see powerpivot chart but all information loks okay, on top of that
I am getting below issues. Please note that library is already in trusted location in excel service application.Please help.
srabon

Hi srabon,
What do you mean that “you are not able to see PowerPivot chart but all information looks okay “?
On SharePoint 2013 there are 2 modes of opening the XLSX file.
1. WOPI Model( need office web apps installed)
2. XLSViewer Model
As you have configured Excel Service Application, you should be able to view PowerPivot chart. So the crime should be the Excel Service Application.
For your issue, please make sure the Excel Service Application has associated with your SharePoint Server. Then make sure
add SSAS to Excel Service Application Trusted Data Provider in SharePoint 2013 .
Also I recommend you Install Analysis Services Server in SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013.
