Analysis for Microsoft Excel as a Data Source

Hello,
Is there a way to connect to Advance Analysis as a data source to the Excel worksheet in Dashboard?
I am a beginner user for SAP Dashboard. Currently I run a mtd, and ytd report through Analysis and then copy and paste the information to Dashboard. Is there a way to automate this process?
Thank you,
Trish

As Josh said, Its not possible to do that, there are many ways to can take the BW Query to dashboards, which makes your life simple in integrating reports into the dashboards.
You can use the below methods to intergrate.
1. Query Browser.
2. SAP BW netweaver Connections.
3. BW query --> BICS(Connections) --> webi -- > QWAAS(Connections)
4. BW query --> BICS(Connections) --> webi -- > Live Office(Connections).
Hope this Helps!!!

SSO with Analysis for MS Excel?

Hi,
We are in the process of setting up our new BO4 environments and we will be integrating BO with the SAP Netweaver Portal, so our users will log on to the Portal and then open up a tab that will display the BI Launch Pad logging on to BO with SAP SSO into SAP BW.
This works great, but now some of our users will be using Analysis for Microsoft Excel and the question has come up, how do they authenticate to BO. Since they will have a user id in BW, but no password set since it is all SSO with logon tickets, how can they authenticate themself?
Thanks
Josh

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using BI 4 SP02 Patch 16.
My requirement is when a user log in the BI launch pad using SAP authentication and opens a Workbook stored in BO repository Analysis prompts again to enter userid and password.
I need to achieve SSO at this level so that user only log in to BI Launch pad and should be able to log in Analysis tool for excel directly. Is this possible?

Excel Spreadsheet as Data Source & Copying that Data to an Existing SharePoint List

Hello,
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I get daily and cut and paste into an existing SharePoint list. Is there a way to make that Excel spreadsheet a data source and copy the data to an existing SharePoint list with less manual involvement?
Tools at my disposal include: SharePoint 2010 Designer, InfoPath, and Access.
I thought there might be a REST method I could use via InfoPath but I'm not aware of any offhand.
Goal is to have a method to upload/overwrite an Excel file (stored in a SharePoint library), every day, and then automate the process of copy it to a SharePoint list (actually overwriting the old data in the SharePoint list).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We can create a console application and use C# code to read the data from the Excel file and using SharePoint .Net Client Object Model to add the data into a SharePoint list, then create a windows job to execute the console application.

Report using excel sheet as data source not working when deployed to production.

I have a set of SSRS reports that use an excel sheet as a datasource.
Now when I preview the reports or run them in the Visual Studio IDE on my local machine i.e
the development machine, the reports run fine & display all correct results.
However, when we deploy the reports to the Production machine which is on a separate server,
the following error message is displayed :
"The current action cannot be completed. The user data source credentials do not meet the requirements to run this report. Either the user data source credentials are not stored in the report server database, or the user data source is configured not to
require credentials but the unattended execution account is not specified. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)"
I've copy pasted the connection string used for connecting to the excel file as reference :
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyFolder\CurrentFile.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;";
The excel file has also been uploaded to the machine housing the reporting server (i.e to C:\MyFolder location)

Hi Aaakar,
From the error message, please try to change the setting of Credential type for the data source on report manager as follows:
Go to the Data Sources properties page.
For the Connect Using option, select Credentials stored securely in the report server.
In User Name and Password, type credentials that can be used to access the database. If you are using SQL Server as the data source, the user name must be valid for both logging on to the server and for accessing the database that contains the data for
the report.
If the user name and password are credentials for a Windows account, select Use as Windows Credentials.
If you want the report server to pass the credentials of the user accessing the report to the server hosting the external data source, click Windows Integrated Security. In this case, the user is not prompted to type a user name or password.
For more details about Configure Data Source Properties, please see:

Hope this helps.

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified in windows server 2008 r2

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified in windows server 2008 r2.I made a application in asp.net c#.I am using ODBC connection.When I deployed my application in windows server2008 r2.There
is no Microsoft ODBC driver shown in ODBC Data source administrator.Then I go to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and open Odbcad32.exe and add Microsoft ODBC2 driver for Oracle and when I run my application I got following error
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I am using follwoing string
<connectionStrings>
<add name="theconnetion" connectionString="DSN=abdb;UID=abc;PWD=xyz"/>
</connectionStrings>
Guide me What I do?

Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

SQL Server Reporting Services: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hey everyone, So I am trying to get a report onto the server, and in BIDS I kept getting a login screen repeating over and over when I tried to deploy my report, so I tried to upload the file at http://<servername>/Reports This worked, but then trying
to run this report from http://<servername>/Reports did not work either because "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'FTYDataSource'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information
about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors" Anyways I tried to add a New Data Source (which I would use in the report) at http://<servername>/Reports, type ODBC, with the connection string Dsn=blah_blahblah.
I try to test the connection here and get the error ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified This is really getting old fast, everything I try, a new error comes up. Granted I am new at this,
but this still should not be this troublesome. Does anyone have any ideas on what could FINALLY allow me to just put a report out onto the server?!? THANK YOU in advance for ANY help.

Hi,
Please try setting the credentials of the datasource.
1. Double click and open the datasource in your project.
2. Click on the credentials tab, and click on option button 'Use this username and password'
3. Enter the username and password to connect to the datasource
4. Deploy or upload the datasource to the report server and try accessing the reports.
Hope this helps.

Linked Server [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hi I have SQL2012 installed on my local machine and have also installed MySQL 5.6.23 installed with a test database.
I also have my SQL connector installed and MYSQL ODBC Driver 3.51.
Which happily connects to the Mysqldb.
The Datasource Name : mySQL conn
TCP/IP Server : localhost and Port :3306
User root
with pwd
On the SQL side I have used the following
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MYSQLSRV',
@srvproduct=N'mySQL conn',
@provider=N'MSDASQL',
@datasrc=N'mySQL conn'
However when I try to selet using open query
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ( [MYSQLSRV], 'SELECT * FROM students' )
it comes back with
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV".
I cant understand what I have done wrong . Any help in this would be great as Ive hit a bit of a brick wall

Hi Robert3975,
In addition to other post, please also note the following things.
1. If you use the 32-bit driver on a 64-bit machine, please run the 32bit version of "odbcad32.exe" by running "c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
from Start/Run menu and
create your ODBC DSN. However, for the 64-bit driver, use c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe to create your ODBC DSN. For more details, please review this similar
thread.
2. Expand the folder Providers under Linked server directory in SSMS and go to properties of MSDASQL provider and configure it properly as described in this blog:
Creating Linked server to MYSQL from SQL Server.

SAP Gateway for Microsoft excel

Hi ,
I want to create Purchase order data from excel . I have PO header and Item as entity in gateway services . I have associated POHeader with PO Items and declared navigation in SEGW. I have implemented method CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY.
While binding the gateway services, it just bind the header fields and i don't have provision to pass on the item fields . My requirement is to bind PO Header and Items together in excel and call the create_deep_entity method so that PO with item is created together in single payload.
In my case i am able to bind either header or Item data and it search for create_entity method and throw error.
Does excel support Deep Insert ? Can we create Hierarchical data using GWPAM excel.
Thanks,
Anju

Hi Florian,
it is up to you: the Gateway for Microsoft Excel add-in does support both $batch and the single updates. If the underlying OData service supports $batch then this will certainly boost performance if you do mass update operations.
... and you are right: GWM keeps track on the records which have been changed (updated, deleted or created)

Holger.

SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization, Demand Planning Add-In for Microsoft Excel 1.0

Does anyone know if the DP Add-in for Microsoft Excel is doing well. How does it pull/push data on the DP tool? Is it fast, and is it a free add-in ?

Hi Satish
As you know business always loves to work in excel and if we offer this possibility they are going to appreciate it very much.
We have already perform PoC for the excel frontend in out business scenario and looks really positive. At the same time, I will also say that there is still big room for improvement for SAP. SAP is already coming with better excel front end but only with IBM demand solution.
so going back to our topic, I would say surely you should go for it. It would be really great if you have data view with less or minimum key figures should be exported to excel where business require to update or maintain key figures. If I am correct, I think you are unable to use it for aggregate forecasting or you have default macro´s to be execute immediately.
In summary, it´s worth to explore the option to see if it works for your business. I am sure business users will be very much happy with this.
Please let me know if this information helps you.
Thanks

Failed to export the report... to Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-only

I'm using Crystal Report version 12.1.0.892
I'm trying to export reports to 'Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-only' (an option I use all of the time), and am getting the message "Failed to export the report."
It only started this week. I can export to "'Microsoft Excel (97-2003)" (and PDF, etc.) without incident, but it's not what I want.
I have not made any changes to Crystal Reports, but have applied updates to Microsoft Windows XP (ver 2002, SP 3).
Any ideas?

I'm having the same error and have a subreport with 3 groups. The subreport data being returned is all in the Details section. All other sections of the sub are suppressed.
I can export the main report fine (it's just headers). I can also drill into the sub and export that fine, but of course get back only limited data. When I try to export the whole thing it chokes.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks for your help.

unzipped it successfully (66 files created)
searched for messages and updates (No notifications.)
and I get a screen reading:

The "Next" button is grayed out, leaving "Save File" "<<Back" and "Cancel"
Does anyone have a suggestion why I am unable to go any further?
Thank you,

Go to Solution.

Are you sure it hasn't been installed before? Under Control Panel...Programs and Features...National Instruments Software...do a "Change/Remove" and look down the list for "NI TDM Excel Add-In verX.XX". If found, uninstall and re-run the installer for the newest version.
This might help as well.

Not able to download S&OP Add-In for Microsoft Excel

Hello Folks,
I have been trying to download the S&OP Add-In for Microsoft Excel but its not just getting downloaded. I am not able to see the S&OP in the excel ribbon. Any help would be appreciated. Let know if any info is needed from my end.
Thanks
Karan

Dear Karan
1) generally, under the following link you will always find the newest available add-on:
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001943&_EVENT=DISPHIER&HEADER=Y&FUNCTIONBAR=N&EVENT=TREE&NE=NAVIGATE&ENR=67837800100900008464&V=MAINT
--> Comprised Software Component Versions --> SAP SOP EXCEL ADD-ON 3.0 --> # OS independent
2) As there are new Add-on's several times a year, you should efford to check with your administrators that you get the required authorizations, or that they provide always the latest version to you with other means, e.g. by putting the file in the company - internal "shopping-basket"
3) When installing was successfully, but you dont get it displayed, than go to Excel (I have Excel 10, so the path might be slightly different for you)
--> ribbon "file"
--> "Option"
==> you get a new window, here:
On the left choose "Add-Ins"
--> than on the right side bottom-left you will find "Manage"
--> choose "COM-Add-Ins" and press "Go..."
==> you get a new little window popped up. Here your "S&OP Add-In for Excel" should appear and flagged :
If that does not appear, you installatoin was not successful and you have to repeat
Good luck
