Add-in Menu disappeard in Excel 2007

Hi Guys,
I have a problem that I don't able to see "add-Ins" menu in menu bar of my excel 2007. How should i enable this one?
Many Thanks,

Andrew,
I've been using the ribbon since it's release and have not personally run across any issues.
Make sure you get the very latest version of the toolbar as there was an issue with the 3.1 version (I think that was the release). I am running 3.2 at a client in Excel 2007/Essbase 11.1.2 and it's solid.
The only downside I can think of is that it uses the same Alt-S key combination that SmartView uses, so to get to the keystrokes (which is really nice other than this issue) I have to type Alt-S-2-R to get a retrieve. This would not be an issue if SmartView is not in the mix.
You can check this thread from their blog for a couple of issues others have found:

No, I don't work for these guys. But I do like their product and one certainly can't argue with the price.

Excel Add-in for 11.1.1.3 on Excel 2007.

Hello,
We are upgrading to Office 2007 and Excel Addin we are using is for 2003. We have a Planning / Essbase 64 bit environment working on 11.1.1.3
Now, when I look for Essbase client for 11.1.1.3 compatible to office 2007, I cannot find it in Oracle e-delivery site. Is there any place that I can get this?
Also, ours is a 64 bit environment and our users desktops are 32 bit. So is that fine if I install 32 bit client? Am not sure whats the bit type of current excel add-in ?
Please advice.
Thanks,

More to the point, I suggest you review the product support Matrices:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/hyperion-supported-platforms-085957.html
The 11.1.1.3 Excel add-in is supported on Excel 2007 -- it doesn't matter if this is 32-bit or 64-bit Operating systems. Excel 2007 is always a 32-bit application. If you are also using SmartView search support.oracle.com for updates for SmartView as there are updates that fully support working on 64-bit operating systems.
Office 2010 64-bit is NOT supported. Office 2010 32-bit is supported for SmartView -- haven't tried Excel addin in 2010 32-bit however I believe it should work also.

Why ribbon XML does not work in Excel 2007?

I installed 4 VSTO Excel add-ins on an Excel 2007 PC today. The two that use a visual designer ribbon worked fine. But the 2 that use a Ribbon (XML) did not. The add-in starts ok. But the ribbon does not show. Why would that be?
I wrote two more add-ins to demonstrate the problem. One puts an OK button on the ribbon using the visual designer. That add-in installs on the excel 2007 PC and works as it should. But the 2nd, an add-in that uses Ribbon (XML) to put a button on the
ribbon, does not work. The add-in does not display on the ribbon.
Here is the code of the Ribbon (XML) add-in project. How to get a ribbon (XML) ribbon to display in excel 2007?

Hello Steve,
Most probably you have got an error in the ribbon XML markup. See
How to: Show Add-in User Interface Errors for more information.
I have noticed the following xml namespace:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
Use the following one instead:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
Also make sure that specified idMso values exist in Office 2007.
You can read more about the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) in the following series of articles in MSDN:

Hyperion Essbase QAT Menu with Excel 2007

I just upgraded to Hyperion Essbase 11.1.1.3 and I recently upgraded to Excel 2007. Moving to XL2007 made the Essbase add-in two levels deep in the ribbon so I wanted to move this to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). I found a great tool to develop QAT menus authored by [url http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm]Ron Debruin.
I took his code and customized it to work with the Hyperion commands. Picture of menu here: http://i.imgur.com/X7zFS.jpg
Everything worked great for a few month for both myself and about 75 coworkers but once we upgraded to Essbase 11.1.1.3 from 7, the menu macros stopped working for almost everyone except for myself and a few others.
I set this macro in the xlstart folders so that it opens with excel. The QAT menu still appears for everyone, but when selecting any of the menu items to run, nothing runs.
Example: When running
Sub MyMacro21()
 Call EssMenuVConnect
End Subfrom the custom QAT menu, nothing happens. What should occur is a popup login for Hyperion. I've even tried to run the code outside of the QAT menu and it does not work so this leads me to believe something is wrong with my Hyperion code. Now mind you, this work fine on my machine.
I'm unable to determine the cause for the macro to not work. Any help or troubleshooting pointers would be appreciated.
Here is the code that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Mathieu,
As per support matrix documentation, Essbase 7.1.3 is not supported with Excel 2007.
You may have to upgrade to client version 7.1.6.7 which supports Excel 2007.
Thanks,

Add-in and Excel 2007

Hi everyone, Does anybody know if essbase Add-in version 6.5.5 will work togehter with Excel 2007? I really cannot find any detail on this. Thanks in advance 

Chances are, your VBA code isn't broken because of the API, but because the old xls/xla workbook had a reference to the old excel object model. Go to the VBA editor and choose the Tools/References menu item. Look for any "missing" entries and perhaps the new version of excel has an equivalent. If a reference is missing, it can cause certain functions to lose their definition and it shows up as broken code (i.e. no definitions for string functions like len, format$, etc... is a frequent side effect). There is another possibility, a more pervasive and complicated one (at least to explain). Excel 2007 may be interpreting the module defines differently. The API modules with essbase use a patter like this: 1: Declare Function EssSomething1 Lib "esbapin.DLL" (etc...) 2: Declare Function EssSomething2 Lib "esbapin" (etc...) 3: Declare Function EssOtlSomething1 Lib "esbotln.DLL" (etc...) 4: Declare Function EssOtlSomething2 Lib "esbotln" (etc...) The first definition sort of "keys" the dll to the VBA module, so subsequent references don't particularly need the .DLL extension. The problem is that if the first use of the dll doesn't include the extension, the dynamic linking isn't always resolved properly. In at least one case, I've had to add the extension TO EVERY SINGLE DECLARE. This resolved my issue, and it wasn't especially difficult to do, but I have no definitive explanation for why it was necessary or what made to resolve the issue. So, do I recommend you try this fix? Only as a last resort. I'd check the references for missing modules first, as it's more likely to be an issue and it's really easy to do. HTH, -Doug.

Remove Essbase Add-in in microsoft Excel 2007

Dear All,
Currently, my company is Essbase 9.2 which I do use it once/twice in a month.
With the Essbase in, I have problem to use pivot table and right click option.
Even when I remove it from Excel option, Add in, the Essbase automatically re-load everytime I close Excel 2007.
My Question:
Is there any way to temporary remove the Essbase Add-in one time off and allowed me to select
the add-in when I need it .

Hi,
Please follow below steps to remove Excel Add-in from Excel 2007: -
1- Open Excel 2007 and click on icon placed at top left corner and select option 'Excel Options'.
3- Now select option 'Add-In' from left window menu and then click on button 'Go' appears on the bottom of right window. It will open a new window.
4- Please de-select option 'Hyperion Essbase OLAP server DLL' in new window.
It will disable Excel Add-in.
Hope it will help you.
Atul K,

Installing Essbase Excel Add-in on 11.1.2 and Excel 2007

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing the excel add-in (essexcln.xll) on Office 2007 and 11.1.2? I've been trying over the weekend, so that I can start using the vba api with essbase and I'm having no luck. I've tried the essexcln.xll at (installed drive)\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\essbase\bin and I'm getting a "file is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message box, and a whole spreadsheet of random characters.
I've also tried installing the add-in through the patch created for 11.1.1.3. The add-in works, but if I try to use the API to open an outline, I get an "outline too new" error.
Anyone have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi John,
Thanks for the help. So I've tried installing the add-in both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and I'm still getting the "The file you are trying to open, 'essexcln.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" message box. I've tried running excel as an administrator, then adding the add-in through excel's add-in menu.
When I open the file, the first line of the sheet says: This program cannot be run in dos mode.
Also, both servers are 64-bit. I'm unsure if this could affect the add-in working.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Known issues for OBIEE Office Add in with Excel 2007?

Hi,
Does anybody know if there are issues for the office add-in with Office 2007?
i'm playing around a little bit to see how it works, but it seems that Excel interferes with the layout.
I do get different grafs and also i tried the tutorial with the excel template and my changes come only partly through.
Thanks

Add-In tab is Missing in Microsoft Excel 2007

Hi All,
I have successfully installed and configured the Hyperion Essbase and Planning [11.1.2].I'm able to work with Essbase Administration Service Console and Planning.
If i open the Microsoft Excel 2007, Add-In tab is Missing in that. With the help of that Add-In only,We can do the Essbase related calculations.
More than that I have installed and configured the Essbase Spreadsheet Add-In and Essbase Client.
Kindly guide me how to overcome this issue.
Thanks And Regards

Hi Sundeep,
Thanks for your reply. I followed your guidelines [The location of essexcln.xll file : *C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer-32\bin*].

*"The file you are trying to open 'essexcln.xll' is in a different format than specified by the file extension.Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file.Do you want to open the file now?"*
I Proceed YES to open the Excel File, now also I didnt get the Essbase Add-Ins instead I'm getting Encrypted datas in spreadsheet.
Kindly guide me to overcome this issue

VBA Code for Excel Add-in Menu Items

Howdy.
Every month my team needs to execute the same process on a couple hundred documents. It's time consuming and inefficient to say the least, so I'm looking for a means by which to call a couple of the menu items on the Excel BPC Add-Ins menu via VBA. Specifically, Park'n'Go; Expand All; and Send and Refresh Schedules.
Basically what happens is this:
Open File
Set Park'n'Go to Live
Expand All
Refresh and Send Schedules
Set Park'n'Go to Offline
Save
Exit
Loop
I know how to loop through the files and directories, I just don't know the commands for the functions from the menu via code. The macro recorder can't help me, and I've even tried to mimic a user's actions by using mouse coordinates and clicks, but that doesn't work b/c it doesn't allow for the necessary load time from BPC.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hey Jeff,
here are some vba commands that may help you.
Open a certain file: (you can assign "Path" to a button or range)
Dim Path As String
Path = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files (.),.")
Opening the Park 'n Go dialog box:
Application.Run ("MNU_ETOOLS_PARKNGO")
Expand All:
Application.Run ("MNU_ETOOLS_EXPAND")
Sending data and refreshing the workbook:
Application.Run ("MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_REFRESH")
Saving a file OFFLINE:
Dim FName As String
FName = InputBox(prompt:="Please enter filename")
If FName = "" Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Else
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="c:\" & FName
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Hope, that will help you

Error running XL Reporter: 'a required COM add-in program..' for Excel 2007

I have 2 users running Excel 2007 that can't run XL reporter. They get the message 'a required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded'. I have instructions for Excel 2003, but not for 2007. Does anyone know how to resolve this for Excel 2007?

Gordon,
I have instructions to get the IXXLReporter.dll file in the installation area, but 2007 has completely different layout. I can't find where to go??? Can you please give me the procedure?

TDMS Excel Add-in Does not support new Excel 2007 Row Limit

First off I would like to say the TDM/TMDS format is really useful. It allows you to do all kinds of things that would be a real pain if you tried to do it with tab delimited spreadsheets. You can format data into excel sheets for analysis with seperate tabs and channel names over the columns and the whole nine yards. You can even throw error messages into the properties that show up on the first tab.
The problem occurs when the user is working with really large files. Excel 2003 and all previous versions of Excel have limits of 65,536 rows by 256 columns. Until the latest version of the TDM Excel Add-in if you tried to import files larger than this it would throw an error and wouldn't create any file at all. Now it imports a file and you specify the index, which is so much better.
Excel 2007 supports 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns! This is really useful. But the current version of the TDM Excel Add-In does not support the new row limit. Is there any way we can get a version of this for 2007 that supports the new row limits? It would be cool if the Add-in could auto-detect the version and change the import limits accordingly but that may be too much to ask. Has anyone else run into these problems?
My client would like to record hour long files at 200Hz all day long. Thats 720,000 rows of data per file. Yes, thats a lot but excel can handle it. The TDMS importer cannot. Of course there are work arounds and we will have to use one if a new version of the TDM Excel Add-in is not made soon. Is there a new version coming? Please say yes.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I redownloaded the file. I couldnt figure out how to completely uninstall the verison of the TDM importer already installed, so I just tried to install the one i downloaded. The installer said "no software will be installed or removed" and I had to click cancel because there was no next option.
I tried to import the data again with the importer and got the same 'selective import' dialog box again, limiting me to the 65,535 rows.
Here is what I am getting.
How do I uninstall the add-in so that I may reinstall it?
I uploaded a copy of one of my tdms files to the ftp.ni.com/incoming directory for you to download and attempt to import.
File: "442732.zip" size: 82.2 mb
A little more information about the tdms file
The data is 14 columns of single precision float and is about 720k rows. There are four sections (sheets in the same excel document) with the data converted differently in each tab/section. The data is the same amount in each section as well. There are also a couple sections listing the constants and scalars used to convert the data, as well as the typical first page of tdms information about the data.

Word 2007, Add-ins menu, items appear twice ...

Hi
I'm using win7 word 2007 and OPM 10.1.
I'm attending a course in OPA/OPM and we have seen that the Add-ins menu appear weird.
Several students that attend the course are seeing the same phenomena.
If I select the add-in tab in word, the OPM short cuts appear twice, first one set, then when I scroll further to the right a second set appears.
It is only the right most set that works.
If I hover the mouse over the first set smiley face, the tooltip says "Haley Office Rules: Compile (Alt+R) ". If I check the tooltip of the rightmost set it says, "Oracle Policy Modeling: Compile (Alt+R)"
I have only installed OPM 10.1 on this pc. Not any older version (like old Haley versions)
kind regards,
Michael

Hi
Try these 3 tips to restore the toolbar to how it should display:
1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
2. Try resetting the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Select General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.
