Automatic refresh of excel sheet connected to MSAS Cube

I have a requirement, we have a excel spreadsheet connected to cube on a share drive that other applications use as input feed.
Cube is refreshed daily is there a way to refresh data in the spreadsheet automatically after cube refresh?

Yes , you can set the Excel spreadsheet to refresh automatically for every X number of minutes.
Under data go to connections tab and select the usage properties and select REFRESH every check box and enter the number of minutes or so to refresh the spreadsheet automatically.
Please mark as answer, if this has helped you solve the issue.
Good Luck :) .. visit www.sqlsaga.com for more t-sql code snippets and BI related how to articles.

  • After reports running in background job need to get automatically open in excel sheet

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement which is new to me ,
    Once the user runs the report in background  system is displaying the output in HTML format .... But the Users needs to open in Excel sheet .
    kindly  do the needful
    Regards
    Srikanth BG

    Hi Srikanth,
    Excel processing in background is currently not possible using standard ways. There exist a really good external library that allows you to handle Excel files, and even create them in background. So you could create a final, ready to use Excel file from your background run that can then be opened.
    You might have a look at the library here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/abap2xlsx
    Maybe it helps and suits your needs.

    But when start up the data model with Powerpivot, everything gone well. We knew that it can be manual update the name as workaround, but we need to do it every time we create a new powerview with the data model.
    Is that any other solution we can do with?

  • Excel Dashboard Connection Refresh

    Hi
    we have a number of dashboards that we have created on our Project Online instance using the excel web part version of sharepoint.
    To refresh the data we have to open the excel sheet and click refresh connections, is there an automated way to do this without opening the file, or creating a job which opened the files from sharepoint and ran a refresh and saved and closed it?
    Thanks

    Hi Sean,
    A way to automatically refresh odata reports is to use PwoerBI. The 3 first articles on the following blog will give you the procedure:

  • How to consume the sharepoint online Library data to Excel sheet using ODATA connection. That ODATA connection file resides in "SharePoint Online -Data Connections Library"

    I have created a OData Connection to my Library and published to SharePoint online site.
    To refresh the data, property is set like "Refresh when opening file"
    When I downloaded and open the file, the new data is consumed to me successfully because this ODF file referenced to my local computer
    If any other user downloads the file its not opening as reference file points to my local machine.
    I want to keep this ODF file in "Data connections" Library (or in any site/Library) and establish the connection to the excel sheet. so that any one can use the ODF file.
    or else any other alternative to use ODF file globally and get the SP Library data to excel ?

    Hi,
    it will use the connection in the ADF library. I recommend though that you not save database connect information in the ADF library. Instead:
    - define the ADF BC model to use JDBC data sources
    - In the ADF library, configure it to only contain the data source name
    - In the view project (the workspace) configure the database connection exposed by the library
    When the library is imported, check Application Resources --> Connections and right click on the imported connection name to configure it

    Hi,
    Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.

    BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.

  • Automatic Creation of Fact Sheets with push to MSA

    We are considering using fact sheets within MSA. We would like to periodically refreh fact sheets without human intervention (we do not want our sales people to request a download/refresh of the factsheet business partner per business partner).
    Is there a method to centrally refresh all fact sheets (eg for business partners with a planned business activity in the coming week) and to push these factsheets to the relevant MSA clients ?
    Thanks

    Hi
    U can create BDC for Tcode VA01 in T code SHDB with the validation and ask the ABAPer to create one Y/Z Tcode. Then you input the PO no in the Tcode to create the SO in background.
    Or
    Create BDC for PO AND SO and give logic and validation with input field and ask the ABAPer to crate one Y/Z Tcode to create PO and SO in single execute.
