BPC Custom Menu Excel 2007

Hi
I created a custom menu in BPC. In this menu I inserted several reports in the Highlight area. When I open this custom menu afterwards, the background of my report is black.
Has anyone already encountered this problem?
Thanks in advance
Lander

BPC Custom Menu

Hi
We have created a Custom Menu in SAP BPC V5.1 SP7, BPC for Excel . When we run it, each
time we open a report or schedule accessed from the custom menu it does
not automatically expand and refresh on open so does not update the current view. We need to manually expand and refresh each time. This is despite the fact that we have set this in the workbook options of each of the reports and schedules. However if we try opening the same reports or
schedules from the eAnalyze or eSubmit menus respectively they expand
and refresh on open as expected. If we use the custom menu in test mode then it also works as expected by expanding and refreshing. Is there a known bug with the custom
menus or is there a setting that I need to change to get this to work?
Kind Regards
Wayne Newall

Hi,
Did you try to put the Visual Basic command (in "This Workbook") in the custom menu:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Run ("MNU_ETOOLS_EXPANDANDREFRESH")
end sub

BPC Admin and Excel 2007 issues

Having issues with excel when using BPC Admin. Excel keeps freezing up. It seems to happen on a team member's computer also. Any idea what might be causing it?

Hi Krishna,
This happens due to improper user access. You need to create the user profile again. And also you can check the following steps for the same:
Enable OSoftAddIn from Excel Options :
Open Excel Options
Click Add-Ins
Select Disabled Items in the Manage box and then click Go
Select OSoftAddIn from the list and the click Enable
Reconnect to BPC for Excel so changes could take effects
If, when you re-open Excel, the add-in still shows as disabled, follow these steps first:
Open Interenet Explorer, Click Tools>Internet Options, Advanced tab, Security
Make sure the box for u201CDo not save encrypted pages to disku201D is checked. Apply changes.
Hope this helps.

BPC V7 MS CUSTOM MENU DOES NOT WORK

Hello all,
We are in the process of upgrading from BPC V5 to BPC V7 Microsoft and my custom menu no longer works. I am using Windows XP Pro, Office 2007 and BPC 7.0. I have a file called M01Summary2.xlt which contains various graphs that change whenever the settings in the current view are changed. On my EV_DEFAULT worksheet the settings are: Action is HIGHLIGHT, P1 is Reports\Wizard\ProcessMenu\MenuReports\M01Summary2.xlt, P2 is blank, P3 is blank, P4 is DEFAULT. When I test the custom menu, the graphs do not appear on the EV_RESULT worksheet. I can change a cell on M01Summary2.xlt (say add a color to the cell), save the file and the test the custom menu again and the color will appear in EV_RESULT but not the graphs. Can anyone offer any suggestions to fix this problem? Does V7 not recognize graphs? Could it be the fact that I'm using Office 2007? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Renee

Please check the SAP Note 1404813. It seems a well known behavior and it should have been fixed in 7.5 SP1.
It seems that this issue only happens when working with Excel 2007. With Excel 2003 all works fine.

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.

How make customized menu default in excel interface

Hi everybody,
Experts, i want to change the first screen that opens up when i open the excel Interface, instead of the three globes, i want my costumized menu to open, so the user can start working from there,
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To remove the 3 globes you can follow this:
First, as I recall, there is a file, u201CLaunch.dllu201D, (?) under the webfolders directory on the server that can be updated with the image you would like to use.
----Additionally, A SAP note has been created:
Note 1287629 - Customizing of Company Logo image in BPC for Excel
(IM 3220483)
Symptom
This purpose is supporting the customized image on default workbook when Logging on to BPC for Excel.
Other terms
BPC 7.0M SP3 Microsoft, Company Logo, IM 3220483
Solution
This is Supported in BPC 7.0M SP3.
Customer can change the image on the default workbook.
Additional Info
If a customer wants to change the image on the default workbook, it needs to set the Application Set parameter on the Web administration as below.
1. Image file should be in "Server Install\Data\WebFolders[Appset]"
2. Add to Application Set Parameter.
KeyID : COMPANY_LOGO
Value : image file name. Image file extention only support to "BMP","GIF" and "JPG".
3. Available value
u2022 If you want no image on default workbook, you should leave blank in the value field.
u2022 If you want to show default image; terrestrial globe, you should set Default in value field or remove the key from the application set parameter.
As for setting a menu as the default I think you would need to either look at using a BPF or use a macro and open a custom menu.

BPC and Excel 2007

Can someone tell me what version/service pack of BPC is needed in order to run properly in Excel 2007?
Thanks!
Anthony

Anthony,
I am using BPC Sp3 so V.5.0.502.03 and I discovered problems in the Admin with Excel 2007!
As an admin I would not recommend yet to install Excel 2007, except if all admins are using it!
Just to let you know:
Here is a log I put on SAP Support Portal about this problem:
Short Text
Excel 2007 saving files in 2007 format but with an xls ext
Long Text
I have upgraded my Excel to 2007, but the default file format is in
Excel 2003 format. When I make changes to dimensions the file is being
saved as an xls (as opposed to an xlsx) file, but it is being saved in
the Excel 2007 format. This means that 2003 users can't open the file.
I have deliberately kept the default file version in excel to the 2003
format so that I don't have compatibility issues, but BPC seems to be
ignoring this settting and using the 2007 format anyway.
I can work around this by opening the file from Excel and resaving it,
but obviously this is a nuisance to keep having to do this. I do not
want to revert back to Excel 2003 just to avoid this problem
I am running BPC version 5.1 SP3
Steps for Reconstruction
Install Excel 2007, make the default file type Excel 97-2003. Use BPC
admin to make a change to a dimension, then try to make a change to the
same dimension on a machine that is running Excel 2003
Here is the answer they gave me:
Dear customer,
Thank you for contacting SAP Support Centre.
The problem is a known issue which has been reproted the dev team.
It will be fixed on bpc 7m.
The current workaround is:
1. Install 'Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system' file on
client has Office2003.
2. Change file extension 'xls' or 'xlt' to 'xlsx'.
3. Opent template
I wish this could be helpful to you.
Even in installing the compatibility pack did not solve this problem but it is only this problem i found and only in the Admin... but as an admin it is a major problem!!
So when you ask, the version of BPC working "properly"... i dont really know what to answer. Make your own opinion

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:
http://www.in2hyperion.com/post/2010/03/21/Hyperion-Excel-Add-in-Ribbon.aspx
See this link for the latest binaries and comments:
http://www.in2hyperion.com/post/2011/02/14/Version-31-of-the-Excel-Essbase-Ribbon-is-available-for-download.aspx
No, I don't work for these guys. But I do like their product and one certainly can't argue with the price.

Cameron Lackpour

How Tou2026 Create Custom Menu within BPC NW - OPENFILE issue

Hi Guys,
I built a custom menu in BPC 7.5 using the step-by-step procedure available in u201CHow Tou2026 Create Custom Menu within BPC NWu201D. It uses the OPENFILE option with EvMnu to open dynamic templates describing this limit:
The OPENFILE option within the NW Version can only open workbooks from cached directories in local PC. Therefore, it is a best practice to ensure that OPENFILE only refers to templates that are available as dynamic templates that are cached (updated template version) on all client PCs that are using the EvMnu based workbook.
At the moment Iu2019m working with more than 40 users, which surely will increase. So, I have to find others solutions or automate the local saving:
- Do I have to ask our users to save locally all dynamic templates?
- Do you know if I can save automatically (not manually one-by-one) all dynamic templates in all client PCs allowing the OPENFILE option to work correctly?
- Do you know if there are others solutions, like commands or macro (not BPF), to open dynamic templates from custom menu without local saving?
Thanks for your answers.

Hi Nilanjan,
Thank you for your quick answer. I need to open a single dynamic report for each link, not the complete report folder.
OPENWEBFOLDER works correctly, but unluckily it doesnu2019t cover my issue.
OPENWEBFILE could be the solution, but it doesnu2019t work. I used this syntax:
=EVMNU("OPENWEBFILE"," optional text ","REPORTS\TestReport.xlt")
Clicking it, the system shows this message u201COPENWEBFILE: macro not supportedu201D.
Do you know if OPENWEBFILE works correctly in BPC 7.5 NW?
Thanks for your support.

BPC 7 : Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 Conflict

Hi Experts,
I have created a template in BPC 7 MS on my computer which has Excel 2003 version.
But when I try that template on another computer which has Excel 2007. The format (in the format Range) did'nt seem to work or it has diff effect on Excel 2007.
Is there really a conflict between them?? and cannot have different Microsoft Office version?? Or is there An Add-on that we have to Install so that Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 can be used at the same Time??
Thanks,
Bennie Jay

Sorin:
Situation
I also have the same issue with Excel formatting in Excel 2007, and I found a work-around specifically to my issue.
At the format section's CRITERIA, I have one entry: HEADING="New Budget" in the Column direction, apply certain color and number format to the cells of that column. However, I used Excel function CONCATENATE("HEADING=",EVDES("FINANCE",CATEGORY)) to come out with HEADING="New Budget", rather than just typing the string value.
With the above exercise, in Excel 2003 the format would apply no problem, but in Excel 2007, the entire formatting went wild and broke. After I dropped CONCATENATE() and just typed in HEADING="New Budget", the formatting applied OK in 2007.
Data
We are currently on BPC 5.1 SP5
The original report was built in Excel 2003
Question
Is there a setting in Excel that would allow me or bypass the restriction to use Excel functions to come out with CRITERIA definition?

Excel 2007 Support for versions prior to BPC 5.1

Hi,
Will versions prior to BPC 5.1 support Excel 2007? Specifically 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2?
Thanks,
Mike Lantz

4.0 & 4.1 would not have been tested and certified on 2007 as they were relased before Jan 2005. As of 4.2 SP3 (released April 2006) the supported Excel versions are listed in the release notes as:
Excel 2000 SR1 or later
Excel 2002 (XP)
Excel 2003 or later

BPC MS 7.5 Custom Menu: opening templates NOT in the Company Folder

Hi all,
I've recently started working with Custom Menus, and I've stumbled upon a question: is it possible to open a dynamic template that is NOT located in the Company folder?
I'd like to open a file that lies in a Team Folder, so that only members of that team can open it - and it would be nice if they could open it from their own Custom Menu, but I've found only ways to open templates located in the Company folder, does anybody know a way or a workaround?
Yours, Peter

Uh, sorry, you're right!

Error with Custom Menu while accessing template

Hi Experts,
We are facing an issue in SAP BPC 7.5 MS SP with the Customs Menu Option, one user is not able to access Custom menu in Excel interface. All other person who are part of the group are able to use this option. The Dropdown menu which contains the Report details is not listing any report names and Team Drop down is listing a value "EV__DEFAULT". User is getting error like "You are not authorized to access this application []".
But when i tried using same set of security access through another User ID ,I was able to access the Custom menu.
Tried clearing the cache for the User who is facing the issue, but it didn't worked.
Any Help in understanding what may be the reason for this issue.

Hi Poonam,
which sp have you installed?
which office version please?
I've seen this error when a user had an action pane with dirty values, e.g. Time=2007.TOTAL try setting before all the action pane with valid values where you have some data and after open the custom menu.
Regards
Roberto

Labview freeze when accessing a custom menu with data on the clipboard

This one has got me stumped: When selecting a custom menu item with data on the clipboard the GUI freezes. Freezes are longer for more data and longer for older versions of Labview. I wrote the test code, attached, but the example "Menu Selection Demo.vi" shows the same behavior.
Running Labview 2011 here are some freeze delays for my laptop (a bit slower machine) with various amounts of text data on the clipboard:
Clipboard size        Delay
1.3MB                   2.1 sec
2.6MB                   4.9 sec
3.8MB                   17.2 sec
14MB                    253.3 sec
The delay appears to be non-linear. A doubling of the clipboard data size more than doubles the delay and a tripling of the clipboard data size produces a delay of almost 10X! Things are also much, much worse on my ancient version 8.2.1 (over a 40 second freeze for 1.3MB and it goes up from there).
Note that the freeze also occurs on programs with a custom menu when exiting. This would seem to suggest it might have something to do with the timeout, but why timeout should vary with clipboard size and not with the value wired to it makes this feel even more like a bug in the custom menu functionality.
This seems to be related to known issues in Labview 2011 #39604 49UBP4LE (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13168/en#39604_by_Date) that was first reported in version 8.2.1. This known issue relates to Labview freezing when large amounts of data are copied from Labview to the clipboard. No fix has been implemented since this was originally reported in 2007.
This freeze also occurs when shortcuts to menu items (such as Ctrl + L) are used when large amounts of data are on the clip board.
Thus far this has been 100% repeatable and I have not been able to find a way around it. I also haven't found anything else similar on the forums or on the web. It appears to be a GUI freeze with Labview still running in the background, which is also odd.
My work-arounds at this point are either to not use the clipboard (bad), programatically clear the clipboard several times each second (worse) or remove all custom menu functionality and replace those functions with onscreen controls. So, for now, I'm removing custom menu items because my users need the clipboard and I can't have massive delays making my data acquisition code look crashed.
Any ideas would be helpful. This one has me scratching my head...

Well, doing Microsoft Word, Excel and what else on a computer that is used to run an important production test, is a very bad idea. There is no way that you can guarantee, that one of these applications is not causing some interruption to the currently running time critical task. Word and Excel and just about any other computer application can crash, lock up the computer or eat your breakfast while you are doing seemingly harmless things.
The issue with the clipboard in LabVIEW is indeed a problem that exists for a long time and I hope they fix it sometime, but the fact remains, that you should NEVER use a computer for other tasks while you run a test or other manufacturing related application on it, when a failure of that application can cost you more than a few pennies.
