Embedding excel workbook in another workbook

Embedding excel workbook in another workbook
GSKR

Hi,
We can Embbed a Excel file to aworkbook.
In the Excel tab->Click Insert->The Object window will open->Select Create from File tab-> Select the check box Display as Icon->Click Browse and select the file you want to attach->The file will be shown on the worksheet as an icon.
However, I don't think we can embed an Excel workbook into a workbook. Could you please re-upload the picture? Thank you.

Refresh Data in an Excel Workbook from another Excel file

I have an Excel file that I need to use as a data source for a report that is generated from another Excel Workbook that I am using PowerPivot and PowerPivot with.
I make the connections and everything works fine, but the schedule to refresh doesn't work. I found the below, and another Excel file isn't listed as a data source that is can automatically refresh from. Doesn't that seem like an obvious miss?
Report data in an Excel workbook can come from many external data sources. You can schedule automatic data refreshes for these external sources:
•Power BI Cloud Service
*       Microsoft Azure SQL Database
*       SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
*       OData
*       Basic authentication
*       Anonymous authentication
*       SP Lists
*       ProjectOnline feeds
•On-premises
*       SQL Server 2005 and above
*       Oracle 10g, 11g and 11gR2
A workbook accesses external data through an embedded connection string or URL you specify when you import the original data into the workbook. Data refresh reuses the original connection information stored in the workbook.
A workbook can have only one data refresh schedule. Typically, if you create the workbook you define the schedule.

It seems apart from mentioned sources no other source is supported, even I tried refreshing model having excel as source.

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

Error 97 when opening existing Excel workbook

I have a LabVIEW application that reads environmental data from two transmitters and writes the data to two sheets of an Excel workbook (this is done using ActiveX). I have run the application successfully on my computer and a laptop, both of which are running Windows XP and Office 2003. After installing the application on the computer that we want to use for the actual test, however, a problem was observed. If we attempt to open an existing Excel file (which is what we need to do), LabVIEW generates an error 97 message (null reference) and the program does not run. This computer is running Excel 2000. I checked the registry settings for Excel per a similar discussion and found no problems. Opening a new Excel file works fine. Thanks.

Hello,
A few things come to mind:
1. I wonder if the excel version matters here. Could it be that you have a different version of the activeX control on your target machine?
2. Posting a minimal, simplified version of your code may help as well... so we can see precisely where the error occurs. Maybe just the open operation and if relevant the ActiveX property node from which you are receiving the error - identifying precisely where the error originates will be helpful.
3. Here is another thread addressing the same error that may be helpful to you:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=172065
Give it a thorough read just to make sure you're not having a similar issue - if you are, you just may have the solution!
I hope this helps!

Help creating applescript to select email data and insert in existing Excel workbook

Hi there
I'd really appreciate some help.
I want to select three types of data, specifically Name, Email address, and a Date, from the body text of emails in Mac Mail, and export them into columns in an existing Excel workbook.
I've set up a rule in Mail based on the sender, and specified an Applescript action based on the script below. I've sent test emails to meet the rule conditions, and included in the body of these emails the text items below to trigger the script rules, but the Applescript doesn't do anything.

I'm a complete Applescript newbie, so any help would be really appreciated! Thank you.

my variables are global for all data providers since I use the same query for my data providers.
It's just the values (some of them : ex: conso version) that differ from one data provider to another.
ex : here for 2 diff Data providers based on the same query i need to enter the following values for mandatory variables
Different versions / different years but same conso group / data entry year/ posting period.
i would like to have the possibility to enter these values out of the "select values for variable" window (not convenient when we have 7 or 8 DP...), but directly in the workbook.
But maybe this is not possible...
In DP1
conso version = A_PL
conso group = FR01
data entry year = 9999
fiscal year = 2010
Posting period = 12
In DP2
Conso version = P4_MAG
Conso group = FR01
Data entry year = 9999
fiscal year =2011
Posting period = 12

Is it possible to have two Excel workbooks open at the same time but only have one show the Document Information Panel?

We are using SharePoint 2010 and Excel 2010. In SharePoint, we have created a custom content type that uses an Excel workbook template along with a Document Information Panel (DIP -- an InfoPath form) that always displays when a workbook of this custom
content type is opened. That's all working fine. However, if one of those Workbooks is open with the DIP displayed and the user opens another Excel workbook, a DIP displays for the 2nd workbook even if it's just a regular workbook,
i.e. not one of the custom content type. If the user closes one of the DIPs, both close. And if the user displays one of the DIPs again, both display.
Is there any way to separate out the DIP display for specific workbooks during the same Excel instance so that it shows in one but not in the other? Or is this just something we have to live with (and train our users on)?
Thanks in advance. Carol.

Whether the DIP shows or not is a client side toggle, not something tied to an individual workbook. So if you are using the same client instance then the DIP will display or hide based on what you did in the other workbook. YOu might be able
to create a macro that would display or hide it, but that's a lot of work for little advantage. I would train the users and live with it.

"External Data Refresh Failed" in Excel Workbook in SharePoint 2013

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help me sort this out. I wasn't sure if this should be submitted to SQL Server 2012 or SharePoint 2013 but I think I have ruled out an actual SQL issue here.
I have a test SharePoint 2013 Farm installed on one server. On that server we have SQL Server 2012 Standard (Database Engine Only) installed as one instance for SharePoint 2013. SharePoint 2013 is installed as Enterprise.
On another server I have SQL Server 2012 Enterprise installed I have both the Database Engine and Analysis Services installed on that server in one Instance.
I have created a new Analysis Services Cube and stored in on that server using VS 2012 Data Tools.   I then use Office 2013 Excel and create a new Pivot Table and bring in that data into that workbook. I save that workbook to my desktop and
can click on the DATA tab and do a "Refresh All" and the data is refreshed with no problem.
I then Save that Workbook to SharePoint 2013 in my Business Center documents library. I then try to do a Data Refresh and get the following error: External Data Refresh Failed. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in the workbook. The following
connections failed to refresh: servername ConnectionName.
Let me tell you a little bit about how I have my SharePoint 2013 setup.
In Application Management ==> Secure Store Service - I have a Target Application Id setup with an AD account name and password.
In Application Management ==> Excel Services Application Settings - I an using an Unattended Service Account that is pointing to the Target Application ID that I setup in Secure Store Service.
Now in SQL Server 2012. I have made the AD account name and password a SYSADMIN account (because nothing seemed to work) and mapped that login to my Database that I created my cube from.
I have went into the Properties of my Analysis Server on SQL Server 2012 and out that AD userid in the Security Page as a Server Administrator.
Now let me tell you the real kicker here.
I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm that we have been testing for about a year. This is something we wanted to go into production with but now have decided we will deploy our new production site on 2013.
This has the same setup only I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 as my database for SharePoint 2010, and am using SQL Server 2008 R2 on another server and instance for Database Engines and Analysis Server.
I have already created a cube on the SQL 2008 r2 Analysis Server using BIDS.
I created a Excel Pivot Table based on that cube and save it to the SharePoint 2013 site.
I then put the SSS AD account name on the SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Security as Administrator.
I pull up that Excel Workbook and go into Data and do a Refresh All and it works.
I then bring up my copy of the Excel workbook I created for my SQL Server 2012 Cube (this does not work on SP 2013) and save it to my Business Center in SP 2010. This will do a DATA Refresh on that workbook.
Another thing that I have done, (we have Office Web Apps Server running on the SP 2013 side), is set SPWOPISuppressSetting -view -extension xlsx so that when I bring up the Excel spreadsheet in 2013 it has a url with the xlviewer instead of the WOPI
url.
OK. I have went through all of my setup.   I am must wondering if I missed something in my install for this. HELP.   There can't be that much difference in the installation between 2010 and 2013.
Thanks in Advance everyone.

After many hours of research and totally burning down my SQL Server 2012 server because of the many changes I made to it, I finally found the issue that caused this and specifically why SP would not work with SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services. This
time I reinstalled SQL Server 2012 from scratch again but only put SP1 on at this time. I can't be completely sure this fixed the issue since I have not put any of the other CU on the box. But, after the reinstall, everything seemed to work
perfectly from the Excel Services side.
The issue I then ran into was that I could not get my PerformancePoint Services to work with my Cubes that were created on SQL Server 2012. I received Error Message " The DataSource Provider for data sources of type 'ADOMD.NET' is not registered" on
my SharePoint 2013 Server Event Viewer.
I finally found this post on the issue:
http://yossidahan.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/cant-get-ssas-databases-to-appear-in-performance-point-dashboard-designer-check-you-adomd-net-version/
Seems that SP 2013 is built to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services, so you need to install the ADOMD.net from SQL Server 2008 in order for it to work.   But make sure you install Version 10 since if you install any other it doesn't seem to
work.
I feel like I wasted a whole month tracking these issues down, and I haven't been able to test PowerView, PowerPivot or SSRS yet. I hope there is not any more.

Not Able to Save As Microsoft Excel Workbook in Acrobat Standard X

I keep getting the error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.", when trying to Save As Spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook. What can I do to correct this error?

I had the same problem with both Acrobat Pro CS6 and CC on a Mac OS 10.8.5. I was trying File > Save As Other > More Options > Rich Text Format. I would get the same error. I tried saving as a Word document to no avail. Web searches yielded no insight.
Here's how I got it to work: Tools > Content Editing > Export File To... > Rch Text Format
I think it's a bug if you can't save it under one menu but you can under another. I hope this works for you.

Excel Workbook in Background Processing

Hello,
I have more than 10 queries in an Excel Workbook, all of them are using the same variable and this variable is filled by Exit. The only thing that user need, is Refresh all queries.
The time of the query execution is very long, so, we want to schedule this Workbook.
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Marcelo

You can use Information Broadcaster to schedule the workbooks to run in the background and email to users.
Another option is to use the Reporting Agent to fill the Olap Cache for the individual queries used in the workbook, since the queries are cached when the users access the workbooks execution will be fast.
Thanks.

How to create an excel workbook using the excel toolkit

I've starte working with the excel toolkit combined with the GOOP toolkit. After finding out that the GOOP Toolkit apparently has problems working with LabView 5, with which I developed my application, I changed to LabView 6. My first step was to open an existing excel workbook. Here I was successful. On the other hand I could not create a workbook using the excel open vi. Did I miss something?

There's an input to the excel open that chooses "open workbook from file" or
"open new workbook" which should do it. Unless you meant 'worksheet' in
which case there is another function in the tookit to do that.

Format of Reporting Agent Excel Workbooks

Hi there.
Is there anyway of customizing the format of the excel workbooks that are produced via the reporting agent?
e.g. maintaining some sort of template or (ideally) being able to customize individual reports.
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Mark,
You should be able to do this by creating a workbook template. Take a look at the following links:

Error -2146827284 When Attempting to Open Excel Workbook

Using LabView 6.0 and OfficeXP's Excel... I am receiving an activex
error: -2146827284 when I try to programatically open an excel
workbook. The thing is, this is after I have previously opened
and closed another workbook via activex. I searched about this
error on the forums, and while there were a few entries there were no
hard solutions posted. Please help.

Thanks for the help that fixed my problem for the initial error, but I
still get the same error when I am writing a U16 2-D array to a range
of cells. This is strange because the same code is used elsewhere and
does not throw the error, but the data type is instead a Dbl 2-D
array. Unfortunately, I am unable to post the code. It is
on a stand-alone classified pc.

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul

Visual Studio Community Edition - Error on creating ribbon for Excel Workbook project

Hi. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now so I hope someone can help me.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition. On installation there was no option to include VSTO and, looking on various forums, I found it was necessary to install the VSTO - November 2014 update separately, which I have done. I'm working on a
brand new virtual server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and no other versions of Visual Studio have been installed (although I'm surprised to see Visual Studio 2012 as an item in All Programs - but it just contains command prompts).
I have created an Excel Workbook project. When I go to create a new item - Ribbon (Designer) - I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.Implementation, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've searched the Internet for anyone who might have had this same issue but have been unable to find anything to help me. I've tried uninstalling the VSTO-November Update and VS 2013 CE and reinstalling both but still the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
David.

Hello David,
What Office version do you have installed on the problematic machine?
Do you run Visual Studio as an administrator?
