BPC for Word

Hello,
I wanted to use BPC for Word. I have used "Insert BPC data" - new element was added. Then I wanted to formt it, so I clicked right mouse buttong and selected "OsoftCPMDataAX50.CPMData Object -> Properties" and NOTHING was displayed. I checked System Event Viewer and found this error:

Hello
You can change the BPC datau2019s format using below steps.
1. In word menu, select View-Toolbars-Control Toolbox
2. Click the button for u201CDesign Modeu201D in Control Toolbox
3. Select the BPC data object, and change the format using property window.
The property of object can be changed in "Design Mode" and Power Point has this mode by default.
But in Word, the mode should be changed to modify a property of object.
I hope this can help you.
Thank you

Alternatives to the current view with BPC for Word?

Has anyone been able to use something other than the current view to retrieve data using BPC for Word?
The documentation and training just shows how to use the current view and does not mention any other method to alter or preset the dimension member values.
Is there any functionality to retrieve data besides the current view?

To retrieve data you are using a function like evget for example.
Evget is using the curentview if no parameters are specified or it is using the parameters if you provide some of them.
So I don't see any problem to specify parameters to get data into word. It is no diference between the functtions used into word or webexcel.

BPC for excel

We using BPC 5.1 SP1 and SQL Server 2000, excel 2003
We got one user gettinge the following error message "Object Variable or With block varable not set" and "Information missmatch between App info and Analysis server. Use the login screen to try to reconnecting to the Web server" when trying to log
in to BPC for Excel.
BPC for Word is working fine.
We have tried to reinstall BPC and Excel but the problem remains.

Do you receive the messages when you log into a specific application? Or with all applications?
The latter message seems to indicate that Analysis Services and the database are out of sync. Process each of the the applications through the Admin Console.

Disable "logon" button for BPC for Excel,powerpoint and word .

Hello All,
Is there way to hide u201CLOGONu201D button for BPC for excel, word and PowerPoint. We want that our end users canu2019t see it.We have 300 users . Is there any environment variable or BPC package setting for this to do it for all users in one shot?
Thanks,
Saquib Khan

Hi,
I still don't get why this requirement but I can understand it is required by a customer.
I don't understand where is the problem if somebody will press by mistake that button.
It will prompt login window and the user will be able to press cancel button.
I think the solution proposed it is really dangerours and it can cause a lot of issues with BPC if you will delete the logon dll.
What I want to clarify is who is asking about that button to be hide?
Are we speaking about BPC users?
If yes then they will use a really nice functionality.
Majority of BPC users are working in Excel and at some moment they need access to BPC.
So in that case it is easy they have just to press the logon button.
If you will hide that button they will have to go into launch page and from there to start BPC webexcel.
So that's means they will really loose a lot of time just to be back again into excel.
So I don't get why the people request to hide that button.
Let's suppose somebody press by mistake that button ...what is the issue with that?
I need to understand the requirements to be able to understand what kind of solution we can provide for customer.

How to create members and properties in BPC for Excel...

Hello,
Is it possible to maintain and create members and properties from an input schedule of BPC for Excel?
We want to give access to the end users to maintain one dimension (invoices) from an input schedule of BPC for Excel, in order that they will create new invoices and give properties for them... (But not accesing using BPC for Administration Console) they must access using an Excel input schedule.
Thanks,
Jorge

BPC is a Business Warehouse tool rather than an Accounting system. In other words, BPC is designed to do data analysis and planning, not creating sales documents, etc.
You should use an ERP system or at least, an Access database or Excel to create your Invoice documents. Then you load to BPC for data analysis or for planning/budgeting.
It is critical to understand the values and functions of BPC before implementing into your Business Processes, otherwise you WILL spend hundred of thousands of dollars and end up with negative ROI or loss of time and money. To give you an analogy, no matter how well a Ferrari is designed, you don't drive it in off-road conditions. There are many case studies online that try to tell us the importance of recognizing and understanding the purposes/functions/values of the products before we use it in real world, especially in SAP environment.
Hope this helps...

BPC for Excel - Number Formatting

Hi
Hopefully an easy question !
What do I need to put in the number FORMAT field in the FormatRange to have positive numbers as 12,345 and negative numbers in red and in parentheses (12,345) ? - in excel formatting it would be #,##0,;[red](#,##0,)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
Gav

I assume this is for an EVDRE report. In an EVDRE report, If the word FormatRange is in cell A9, put anEvRng formula in B9, referencing another cell, for example =EvRng(C9). Then format C9 the way you want your schedule to look (font, border, pattern, number format, alignment, etc). I put a number in cell C9 so you can see the results of your formatting.
There are many more formatting capabilities of EVDRE that you can find in the Help file and the BPC for Office guide, but this is the simplest way to do it. You can also do conditional formatting on the cells in the data range.

How to use "Mail Merge for Word" to include only Account fields?

We're attempting to use the Mail Merge for Word template to create a document containing several fields from the Account object. We do not need any fields from the Contact object, and there are many contacts linked to each account.
When choosing "Get On Demand Data > Accounts", removing all the [Contacts] fields, selecting the necessary [Accounts] fields, then clicking "OK", a "List Download in Progress" window appears, followed by one that says "Microsoft Word - Subscript out of range". None of the [Accounts] fields are available in the downloaded data.
Can anyone tell me how to include the appropriate Account fields without any Contact fields (which pulls a separate Merge record for every Contact linked with the selected Account)?
Thanks.

Thanks for trying to help with this.
So far, we've been unable to pull even a SINGLE account record. So the problem is not related to data volume limitations. The tool seems to require that Contacts are selected, but for this application we only want a single merge document per Account.
If anyone else has had success using the Mail Merge for Word tool to pull only Account data, please give us your guidance. Thanks.

What is new in RoboHelp 8 for Word ?

Did Adobe make any fixes or add any new stuff to the RH for Word with the version 8?
The only features they describe where RH for Word is mentioned on the Feature page was how to NOT install it by default.
Any one using this that used past versions see differences?

Hi there
Colum is a teensy bit misleading in his reply. Certainly he is spot on with most of it, but the bit about WinHelp not being supported out of the box on Vista is technically incorrect.
What is technically correct is that 32 bit WinHelp is not directly supported. The first time you attempt to run a 32 bit WinHelp file you are prompted to download the 32 bit WinHelp display engine. But support out of the box is there for 16 bit WinHelp with no download needed.

What version are you using? Search highlighting in WebHelp was introduced in version 7.

The interface for RoboHelp HTML is easier to use than Word. The biggest hurdle many face is the loss of Tab Stops. You really would do yourself a favor if you tried RoboHelp HTML. It too is a very nice (and mature) product.
princess betty wrote:
I do use RoboHtml for some smaller help systems, but those are mostly help systems that contain less than 50 pages. To maintain my afore mentioned WebHelp system using RoboHtml would, unfortunately, very much decrease my productivity....
I'd say it depends greatly on how you structured your content. I never noticed that I had any sort of productivity loss as a result of switching. Sure, you have multiple documents with many topics in each document. In the RoboHelp HTML world each topic is an HTML page. But you knew that already. What I'm guessing may be news for you is that you may organize HTML pages into folders.

Retrieve data from a report or database to an input schedule in BPC for exc

Hi,
I am using BPC for excel ( v 5.1).
I've created an Input Schedule(Input-1) using BPC for excel and sent data to the dB.
I need this (Input-1) data to use it in a new Input Schedule(Input-2), for further manipulation.
I need this data to be dumped in a sheet for further calculations in (Input-2).
How can i bring this data?
I created an input schedule(Input-2) and tried building an evdre in an excel macro to get it as a report of the 1st Input. But i was unsuccessful. I faced an error "ERR: Invaled KeyRange Header".
Am i thinking in the correct way? Do we 've any other options to retrieve this data?
Need your help to proceed....
(Pretty soon, the environment is going to be with version 7.0)

The macro i use to run when my workbook opens is as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "Application1"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a2") = "=EvDRE($A$1,A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Also I 've tried this too:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "=EvDRE(""Application1"",A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Both of these gave me the same error code :
#ERR : Invalid KeyRange Header

How can I edit an Automator action for Word?

I'm running Word 2008 on a Macbook Pro, Mac OS 10.5.
Word comes with a selection of Automator actions, including one to find and replace text in Word. I often want to convert standard numerals to old-style numerals, which are part of the extended glyphs set in fonts I use. Automator will allow me to set up ten find/replace actions (for the numbers 0-9) that successfully replace all the numerals with old-style numerals. But it only does it for the main body of the document, not for the footnotes. I need to be able to do it for all the footnotes.
I thought I might find a workaround by adding an AppleScript to my workflow, which would shift the focus in Word to the footnotes and rerun the find/replace actions. I mapped the menu item View/Footnotes to the keystroke command-) and inserted this AppleScript into the Automator workflow:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Word"
keystroke ")" using command down
end tell
end tell
end tell
But the find/replace actions simply repeat what they'd done before, converting the numerals in the main body but not in the footnotes. I then thought that perhaps I should have an AppleScript to do the find/replace itself, once the footnotes have been selected, so I created the following (command-H accesses the find/replace dialog box in Word 2008):
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Word"
keystroke "H" using command down
keystroke "1"
keystroke tab
keystroke ""
end tell
end tell
end tell
The character after the fourth keystroke command is the glyph for old-style numeral 1. For some reason Word reinterprets this as the letter a. So using AppleScript I can only replace the numerals 1-9 with the letters a-i.
I'm pretty hopeless at even this very basic level of programming, but I presume that there's something in the Automator action 'Find and replace in Word' that specifically tells it not to look anywhere but the footnotes. I also presume it's possible to insert a command to tell it to operate on the footnotes (and headers and footers: everywhere!) too.
Does anyone know a way to edit an Automator action? I'm willing to experiment and fiddle with one until I find a way that works, if nobody knows the exact changes that I'd need to make, but I just don't know how to edit an Automator action in the first place. A bit of googling suggests that I could do it in XCode, and that that is bundled with my Mac, but I don't have it.
This all used to work when Office used to allow VBA (and I was using a horrible Windoze machine). Maybe someone would prefer just to find a way of creating a solution our of the old code, so here's one part of what I used (to change the number 1):
For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
With aStory.Find
.ClearFormatting
With .Replacement
.ClearFormatting
End With
.Execute FindText:="1", ReplaceWith:=ChrW(63281), _
Format:=True, MatchCase:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Next aStory
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks to all three contributors for their generous help so far. Mac people are lovely.
BDAqua's suggestion wouldn't work, I think, because copying footnote text into another application and then back into Word would lose all the associations between footnote references in the body and the footnotes themselves. I wish I could do what Klaus1 says, but Word 2008 won't allow the creation of Macros any more. They've shut off support for their creation. Nice MS. red_menace's suggestion seems very plausible and I'll look into a way of mapping the old style numerals to specific keystrokes. That might do it.
Reflecting on what you all said, I looked again through Word's help menus and eventually got pointed towards this page of 'help': <http://tinyurl.com/6398l6>. This is completely impenetrable for me, though it does compare a VBA script for Word 2004 to an AppleScript. This encourages me to hope that it should be possible to translate my original VBA script (part of which I included in my first message) into AppleScript, though I don't know how to do it because I don't really understand the language in the first place (the VBA script was put together by someone else).

Error when connecting to BPC for Office

Hi experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 MS SP06. We are in the following configuration :
Windows 7 - 64bits
.Net 4.5.2

When we launch the SAP BPC for Office (Excel) we receive the following error message :

How to create RTF template base on SQL in BI Publisher template for word?

Hi,
When i was using XML publisher desktop 5.6.2, i could able to see options Report wizard and SQL under Data menu to create template in MS word. But now i've installed BI Publisher template builder for word and there is no option for SQL or Report Wizard under Data menu. Is it eliminated in new version or did i mistake at install time?
As i have no option for SQL, i just run sql in TOAD and export data as a xml file and just load that data in to MS word as XML Data. it's not bad idea !!!.
Thanks & Regards
Jay

The create report from SQL option was removed from the Desktop tool. Here's what I would recommend.
1. Go to BIP server and create your report and query there (use the online query builder, use SQL Developer, use BI EE, use TOAD)
2. Open Word and login to the BIP Server
3. Browser the report catalog.
4. Open the report you just created online. (This will automatically create a download sample XML)
5. Create your layout
6. From inside word, upload your new template (new Menu option)
The ability to start new templates and update existing templates directly from Word is pretty handy. You no longer have to go back to your browser to upload the lasted copy of your template to the server.

Unable to see columns of Data Model in Template Builder for Word.

Experts,
My customer has defined Data Model,
and when Ct is trying to insert fields into their documents,
the columns in the Data Model can't been seen in Template Builder for Word.
(in tool bar; Oracle BI Publisher > Insert > Field)
The details is as follow;
(Data Model)
Name : TEST
Type : SQL Query
SQL Query : select case_id,case_name from TEST where case_id = :p_case_id and serious_flag = 'Y';
'p_case_id' is taken from LOV.
(sample data in TEST table)
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1 case1
2 case2 N
3 case3 Y
In this case, CASE_ID and CASE_NAME can't be seen in Template Builder.
But we can see the columns when the sample data is as follow;
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1 case1 Y <-(*)
2 case2 N
3 case3 Y
I mean, the data of the first row (in this case, case_id=1) is hit by the SQL query,
we can see the columns in Template Builder.
I'd like to know whether it is an intended behavior.
Regards.

Hi,
I reformed the sample data in TEST table.
In this case,the columns in the Data Model can't been seen in Template Builder for Word.
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1　　　　　case1
2　　　　　case2　　　　　N
3　　　　　case3　　　　　Y
But we can see the columns when the sample data is as follow;
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1　　　　　case1　　　　　Y　　　　　<=(*)
2　　　　　case2　　　　　N
3　　　　　case3　　　　　Y
In fact, when the data of the first row (in this case, case_id=1) is hit by the SQL query,
we can see the columns in Template Builder.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This is a bit of information for folks that use Robohelp for Word.

I know this is all a day late and a follar short but for those folks that still use Robohelp for Word:
If your company is going to Windows 7, X5 will not work. You need to bump it up to at least RH8.
Even after you upgrade, if you use the tripane (winhelp_2000) view in RH for Word, it will not work on Windows 7 even with the microsoft patch. With the patch it will look like an older version of RH in winhelp_4. At least I have not been able to get it to display.
What will work is if you compile it in Webhelp. You will loose some links. I know I should be moving to Robhelp Html and I tried, but when I did that I got a lot of garbage at the top of all my topics, I lost all my external links and I would have to retrain my partner...
Now about links. My only complaint about Robohelp for Word was it's limited external linking capacity. If you use RH for Word you know you can only brouse to the net or to an htm or html document. It doesn't mean you can't link to a PDF or an excel spread sheet. You just can't brouse to it. You can manually enter the path. I just changed 740+ htm links to pdf links (pdf in same file as htm and the names were the same except for extension) and it worked. If you intend to try this back up.
Anyway, if this helps anyone great..if not thanks for letting me babble. I like my Robohelp for Word in Webhelp format.
Peggy Theo.

Thanks for posting this Peggy.
It is worth adding that there is another way of continuing to work with Word - using Linked Documents in RoboHelp HTML. You create Word documents entirely independent of RoboHelp and then create topics by linking those documents in a RoboHelp HTML project.
You cannot create WinHelp that way but WinHelp is on life support and requires users to download a viewer, you cannot distribute it. It really is time to move on from WinHelp.
RoboHelp for Word is not getting much development and does not get the new features being added to RoboHelp HTML.
Linking is covered on my site.
