Breaking Links to and External Data Connection using the cubevalue() function

I have spreadsheets that connect to an MSAS cube successfully and pull data in the cells using the CUBEVALUE function.
Is there a way to perform the equivalent of 'breaking links' to the external database so that the spreadsheet can be distibuted to others that will not have the external database connection set up on their computer/excel environment.
I find that if i email a spreadsheet with data retreived using cubevalue functions to someone without the external database connection they do not see the values preserved with the spreadsheet and end up with blank or zero cells, etc.
I have unchecked the box related to 'refresh data when opening file'.
In a perfect world i would like to remove the db connection and be left with pasted values, similar to breaking links to an external workbook but I am not sure if that is possible.
I am desperate to find a way to distribute these spreadsheets and be confident that Excel won't be unsuccessfully trying to refresh a connection that isn't on other peoples computer.
Thanks for any guidance

Maybe you can upload a sample file to a file sharing site and then share the link with us.
As you said you have already unchecked the option 'Refresh data when opening the file' within Connection Properties.
When you send the Excel file to someone without this data connection, they should get the correctly data unless they click the button 'Refresh All'.

  • Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

    Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
    Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

    Custom will show automatically as soon as you just edit some options. So just go ahead, you don't need to select "custom"

  • Including a date in a photo caption and being able to use the search function for the date

    I have included both a text and a date as part of the photo caption on each of my photos.   When I have attempted to search for a specific date or year, however, nothing comes up.   For example, if I search for my photo on "Fido 1985", I can find Fido, but if I simply enter "1985", I get nothing.

    Use Find >> By Caption Name or Note menu option for such a search.

  • How to read data after using the PRINT function in visual basic

    I know the benchlink can capture the spectrum analyzer screen for me, but I want to integrate it into my application. I use NI spy to detect the communications from the benchlink and put it into my application. After sending the "PRINT 0" command, my "ilrd SpectrumAnalyzer, temp, 500" command doesn't work, giving me EARG error. Does anyone knows if it is because I can not define the temp to be string or some other problem?
    b.t.w, the communications I get from NI Spy actually read some unknown characters from the instrument, what kind of data it is? Any idea how to use it?
    thanks.

    Hello elm,
    This is completely dependent on your instrument; if you are getting the data then you are halfway there. Look in your instrument's programmer's reference manual to see if they mention how the picture is encoded in bytes. There are so many different ways to encode a picture in binary that speculating and guessing would probably never yield the true result. If there is no mention in the manual, contact the instrument manufacturer.
    Sorry I could not be of more help.

  • HT5569 iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is the incorrect password. I have several computers and two other iPhones connected using the same password. Any clues?

    iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is an incorrect password. I have several computers and other iPhones connected using the same password. Any ideas?

    Hey there Gordo456,
    It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Restart your iOS device.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings.

  • Powerpivot 2012 on Excel 2010 - External Data connections not saving passwords, having to re-enter password EVERYTIME I refresh data

    Hey Guys,
    Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
    For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
    However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
    Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
    So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
    and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
    What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
    still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
    I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
    I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
    The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
    on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
    this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
    Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

  • Time Capsule, Time Machine and external HD connected to time Capsule

    Hi. I am a new mac user and have an imac.
    I have a 1T Time capsule with an external hub connected to the time capsual. The Time caspsule creates a wireless home network which has the internet connected to it.
    To this external hub I have a printer connected along with 2 external WD 500 Hard Drives. I wanted to use one of these WD 500 HD to store my iphoto library and data. I then wanted the time machine to backup the WD 500 HD to the time capsule, which currently is where the time machine backups are stored.
    I can see all devices and they all work. I can only see the external HD's via the time capsule in finder.
    I can't seem to get the time machine to backup the external HD to the time capsule. In summary - the external HD is connected an external hub to the time capsule. The Imac accesses it via a wireless home network which is created by the Time capsule.
    Is this possible?

    Hello DazImac. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I can't seem to get the time machine to backup the external HD to the time capsule. In summary - the external HD is connected an external hub to the time capsule. The Imac accesses it via a wireless home network which is created by the Time capsule.

    Sorry, but no. Time Machine will not back up network drives ... which a USB drive attached to the TC's USB port would be treated as.

  • Sharing target application between two external data connections

    If I want to create two BDC connections to two separate external systems (let's say one is for HR system and one for IT admin system), can I use the same Target Application in the secure store service section if both of them use the same authentication? 
    Let's say both external systems allow access for 'admin1' user.  Then, when setting up the external data connection I use 'impersonate windows identity' and create a target application in secure store service to map a set of users to that 'admin1' account. 
    When I create these two external data connections can I specify the exact same 'target application' or should I create two separate ones, one for each external system?
    thanks,

    Hiya,
    If you want to use impersonate, you do not need to use Secure store. Impersonation is granting the service account delegation permissions. This is part of the Kerberos authentication protocol, which needs to be configured separately.
    All secure store does, is to store a set of credentials encrypted. These stored credentials can be used wherever, as long as they are valid.

  • Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Hi SandyS_VZW,
    Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
    Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
    THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
    My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
    Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
    Was there a known issue similar about this case?
    thanks,

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
