Bex Excel addin

Hi All,
            I have created an excel addin, and set up an auto open in excel. This addin works fine when i open excel, which is shown in the addin tab as soon as i open excel. But when i am opening anlayzer this addin is not shown, and it has to be run manually each time. Please let me know if someone has come across this situation and solution for the same, so that the addin shows when ever bex analyzer is opened also.Please reply me if you need any calrifications.Thanks.
Thanks & Regards,
  Magesh anandan

Open your workbook.
Click on Design Mode button.
Select a new area of the Excel grid and click on "Analysis Grid" button.
This Analysis Grid will show your query.
Then, click over the Analysis Grid.
A new windows should be opened.
You will see a filed named "Dataprovider". Click on "Change Data Provider" and select your new query.
You can repeat these steps and put queries (could be the same) on different places of your workbook.
Also, you can use different filters for same query. So, different result should be shown.
Workbook is a great tool.
Do not forget. There is a limitation of 750 000 data cells. BEx Analyzer cannot handle more than this number.
Best Regards,
Edward John

  • How to retrieve sharepoint list data and show it on excel-addin using C#

    Hi,
    we have a sharepoint list where all students are present. we wanted to get the data from the list and show it via excel addin (VSTO) (something like save,retrieve buutons) . we have some more business logic which need to be performed before the data is retrieved
    . once data is shown on excel , user modifies it and update/save the record back to sharepoint.
    can you please give some samples and suggest any links to start with development.
    Thanks

    Hi chaituatp,
    For this requirement, I would suggest you to get familiar with how to create VSTO applications, and how SharePoint object model works. Here are some sample code about this:

  • How can I disable excel addin on the Server side?

    Hi, is there any way to disable excel addin on the server side?
    We want to disable it so that no one can modify or read data in the cube in the production environment, even if he or she had installed the add in. Instead, we provide the Planning data forms as the only interface for end-users to read and write. we do this because the add in is very easy to install and users can read and write data in the cube at their will.
    As we designed to keep the security filters simple, it is not a good idea to controll data access through security filters.
    so, what i'm asking is how to disable excel addin on the server side?
    Thank you for replying.

    Hi,
    As Gurus suggested, you will have to restrict viewing of data through dimension level security.
    Give access of members to users, only which are relevant to users so that they can't view other user's data/members.
    Like give access of members belonging to HR dept only to HR users and give access of Finance dept related members to finance users only.
    Hence HR users will view only HR relevant data and won't be able to view (read or write) finance related data and vice-sa-versa.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Filter button in Bex Excel

    In the Bex Excel, I'm trying to filter values of dataprovider DP_1 with multiple single values.
    The following  filter only works for one value (the last in the list of values : COSTCTR2)
    FILTER_COLLAPS      |      1     |
    FILTER_IOBJNM          |     1     | ZCOSTCTR
    CMD                          |    1      | SET_FILTER
    DATA_PROVIDER       |     1     | DP_1
    FILTER_VALUE_EXT  |     1      | COSTCTR1
    FILTER_VALUE_EXT  |     1      | COSTCTR2
    How can I filter on multiple single values?

    Hi,
    If you want to run report by applying multiple single values, you have move from the left box to right box in the Filter screen.
    If you don't find data for othe chars, then the sufficient Master Data has not been loaded in BW for the other values. Please cross check all the Master Data has been loaded and activated in BW.

  • Essbase Excel Addin on 64 Bit Windows 7 and 64 bit Office 2010

    Hi Everyone,
    I have installed 11.1.2.2 on server with Essbase and Shared Services.
    Now, on the client I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 64 bit office 2010.
    I tried installing Excel Addin client only (without Essbase client) and restarted machine after install.
    After install Addin didnt come up automatically and i tried to manually set the add-in, I'm getting an error "This is not a valid add-in"
    Is it because i am using 64 bit of office and have to go back to 32 bit.
    Isnt 64 bit supported for latest 11.1.2.2 Essbase ?
    Any ideas or experience in this regard will be helpful to me as our company is going for Windows 7 and Office 2010 across the business users and if 64 bit Office is not supported or has issues i would have to suggest them to go with 32 bit Office 2010.

  • Excel addins and essbase authentication flow in 11.1.2.2

    Hi Team,
    Can you please let me know how enterprise authentication flow happens between excel addins and Essbase. Please let me how when I provided enterprise userid/password for authentication in excel addins, where does the authentication happens. Does the essbase agent authenticate directly against LDAP or it has a different flow for authenticating the user.
    Thanks for your time and input

    Hi Abhishek,
    Can you please explain CAPI . Did you meant Common API?
    Can you please let me know if userid/password property are sent directly to external directory server (LDAP/AD) from the essbase server when a user is passing userid/password from Excel addin.

  • Excel addin error

    Hi,
    I am using EPM 11.1.2.2 and I have office 2010 and excel addins 11.1.2.2. While retrieving I am getting the below error. I tried the solution provided in the link "http://oraclebrasil.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/error-essbase-has-encountered-an-internal-excel-error-when-retrieving-in-excel-with-essbase-excel-add-in-11-1-1-3/" but since I am having around 500 columns I am loosing the the columns after 256 while saving it as 'Excel 97-2003 Workbook’ .
    Error: “Essbase has encountered an internal Excel error. Your sheet will not be overwritten and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit Excel and restart in order to clear up the problem”
    Can you please advise.

    Think about using Smartview (since you are having 500 columns, that's too many columns if you ask me). Or split your sheets in such a way that it has only 256 columns.

  • How to check from code in Excel Addin that Excel is embedded in Microsoft word

    We've developed an Excel Addin in C# for Excel 2010 and it works perfectly OK. But one issue is reported very recently as below.
    1. Microsoft word document is created with an embedded excel work sheet.
    2. Save the document and close.
    3. Open the word document and try to edit the work sheet there.
    4. Following error comes.
    "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.
    To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed."
    5. This is because, our Addin is initialized and one excel process is running.
    6. If the Excel Addin is disabled, above work flow works correctly.
    Please let me know how to determine from the Excel Addin that the excel worksheet is embedded in another applicatoin. Because I want to disable the Addin in those cases and enable it if the Excel is opened standalone. The Addin is developed in C#.

    Hi,
    Since the error message, please try to install this Hotfix test if it works:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596494
    Note: Delete the Excel instance running in the background(Go to your task manager and delete it) before opening your Word document and edit your embedded Excel.
    If the issue still exists, please see the article and try the solution which I copied here:
    "The basic simple answer is to place a Marshal.ComReleaseObject(Wb) at the end (or better, in the Finally block) of your event handlers. This will properly allow Word and excel to handle the OLE communication by not having VSTO hang on to an instance
    handle of the workbook, therefore causing the error.
    And this is not carte blanche to start placing ComReleaseObject() all over your code. I have found VERY VERY few limited cases where using ComReleaseObject() in an add-in necessary. And this is one of them."

  • Use of Excel Addin when MDS is using https

    We have set up MDS with a secure connection using https and a certificate for SSL connection, bound to the default site for MDS. When we try and use the Excel addin, it throws an error : Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel
    with authority {server root address}
    Can anyone help?

    Does web ui works from the same machine excel is running?
    When you connect to the WebUI, the browser will show a smart icon in the address bar for certificate. If you open it, does it say the certificate is valid?
    1. The certificate should be valid. If it is self signed certificate, you need add this certificate to Trusted Root.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841.aspx
    2. The certificate name should match the service name.
    If the webUI works on that machine without any warning in browser, the excel addin should work with the exact same server url.

  • Xcelsius on BEx ( Excel ) Report

    Hi All,
    I have no clue about how Xcelsius works, please give me some feedback on this issue.
    i am doing some brainstorming on feasibility of doing Xcelsius dashboarding on  BEx Excel report coming out of BW. is it possible can i simply import that Excel sheet into Xcelsius and do dashboarding.
    Do i need any middle ware application to convert that data and push into Xcelsius.
    i know Xcelsius is compatible with BI 7 but i am currently on BW 3.1, so we want to implement xcelsius on BW as a trail project.
    please can anybody send me some doc's how can i do this.
    Regards
    Robyn.

    Hi Robyn,
    you can import your BEx excel report to Xcelsius, but it will not reflect any changes, so your data will be offline.
    With the newly released Xcelsius SP3 there is a direct connectivity to BW 7.0, so this will not be an option for you as you are using 3.X.
    You could write a small program in abap that shoots your BW Data to an XML file and then consume that xml file in Xcelsius.
    If you have a Business Objects Enterprise Server available, you could build an universe out of your BW Data and then consume that universe through live office in Xcelsius, not sure though if a Universe can connect to a BW 3.1.
    Regards
    Victor

  • Is it possible to add Attribute(column) to entity via Excel addin?

    I can create an entity via the excel addin and update data in it but i cannot add additional columns (attributes)  to it via the excel addin once its created. am i missing something or is it just not possible?

    Answer an interesting question?
    Create a wiki article about it!
    I worked around it using the excel addin, but the question is to see if its possible to do this in teh MDS web UI, without using excel, as its not very good design to have to jump from the browser based designer to excel and back in order to manage an MDS model.

  • Traffic light in Excell addin ??

    Hi,
    can we achive Traffic light in Excell addin without webanalyzer?
    Thanks

    Office 2007 will also let you do traffic lighting with conditional formatting, but I think this would only work if you have a static template that you just want to Refresh. It won't be retained on Zoom or Pivot.

  • Master data services - Excel addin integration with Sharepoint

    Hi Gurus,
    I am looking for different ways to present Excel addin plugin to user community.  Can sharepoint be used to launch the excel within the portal.  I am not sure if this is possible where a user can launch the excel directly from sharepoint website
    where the excel opens with in the website.
    It would be great to integrate with shareopoint, as it would allow users to go to one centralized location to perform MDS related tasks.

    The excel UI can be only hosted in the Excel desktop UI.
    The webUI is possible to hosted in the sharepoint.

  • Excel addins and essbase connection

    Hi Team,
    In EPM 11.1.2.1 can you please let me know how Excel addins users connect to essbase server? Does it uses the default port 1423 to connect to essbase server when we connect to the essbase application from Excel to pull data.
    Thanks in advance.

    In a default installation, the Add-In initially contacts the Essbase agent on 1423, and is then connected to the individual Essbase application using ports in the range 32768 to 33768.
    See also AGENTPORT, SERVERPORTBEGIN and SERVERPORTEND in the Technical Reference. If non-default values have been configured you will see these parameters in the Essbase.cfg file for your installation.
