Error accessing Excel - Exiting

Hai,
I get this error most often, "Error accessing Excel - Exiting" , and then I manually kill the EXCEL.exe process in the taskbar, I want to permanently get rid of this problem, is there a setting in MS Excel or the Xcelsius 2008 that I can make so the Excel closes down first and then the Xcelsius is shut down manually.
al times daily.
This error really takes up lot of developer's time by closing and reopening the Xcelsius sever
Thank you in advance.
Vijay.

I feel your pain.
Assuming this involves the latest patch levels for Xcelsius and MS Office (includes all respective Fix Packs and Service Packs for both Xcelsius and MSO), it may be possible to get around the error by doing the following:
1. Close Xcelsius and all MS Office applications completely (saving whatever work you need to save)
2. Open the Task Manager and kill all MS Office and Xcelsius related processes that are running, if any
3. Launch MS Excel
4. Excel may ask you which spreadsheet you want to recover. Humor it and either perform a recovery or just opt to skip recovery, until a spreadsheet is opened normally and the XLS recovery sidebar is gone.
5. Close Excel and check again to ensure that no MS Office related or Xcelsius processes are still running
6. Launch Xcelsius
If this doesn't work, try rebooting and launching Xcelsius before running MS Office.
Keep in mind that any time you try to use Xcelsius with any MS Office app running (yes, even Outlook sometimes) you may be playing with fire so be sure to save and back up your XLF projects frequently. This has been my experience, in any case.
Again, this is just what I have personally experienced and observed as a fellow end user.

"Problem accessing excel" Error

Hi All,
I have just downloaded the trial version for Xcelsius Engage 2008. Whenver I try to launch it, I am getting an error "Problem accessing excel: exiting". I am using windows XP and excel 2007. I have checked in the windows task manager and there is no rogue Excel.exe task running in the background. Can someone please let me know what I need to do. I am very new to BO, so I have no idea on how it works.
Thanks very much,
Pratik

Unfortunately we had this issue too and had to reinstall both Xcelsius Engage 2008 and Microsoft Excel 2007.
We suspected something to do with the registry keys, but it works fine now.
Sorry for the all the work but I hope it works.

Problem accessing Excel

Hello!
I'm doing my first steps into Xcelsius world.
But every time I try to import my excel sheets ... I get this error message "Problem accessing Excel : Exiting" and xcelsius closes.
I really don't understand what is wrong. I've read many other messages but I haven't found a solution yet.
Thanks

Hi,
Following information might be helpful for resolving the issue.
This problem has to do with a conflict with the automation libraries that Xcelsius uses to interact with MS Excel. All the re-installation attempts have failed because there is likely a 3rd party process or application that is affecting these automation libraries and preventing Xcelsius from communicating with Excel.
This is usually the result of having another application installed that also interacts with Excel. This can also come from a 3rd party Office add-in that integrates with Excel.
Check your Excel add-ins and see if anything is listed there. If you see something listed that does not seem to be a default Excel add-in. Youu2019ll need to uninstall it to prevent it from conflicting with Xcelsius. Let me know your results.

SSIS 2012: SSIS Error Code "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

Hi,
This is kind of weird issue that I am experiencing with excel connection manager in SSIS 2012. This issue occurs sometimes but when I close and re-open SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools - newer BIDS) then this issues goes off temporarily.
Just FYI, through SSDT environment I executed the package successfully with both settings Run64bit runtime setting to Yes and No when error does not occur.
So far I have installed
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 (Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable).
I still remember for older versions of SQL Server (2005 & 2008) that I have executed Excel connection SSIS packages with Run64bit runtime = false i.e. in 32-bit mode. As far as I know I think Excel 64-bit issue has been resolved with SQL Server
2012 release.
Here is the detail of error message:
TITLE: Package Validation Error
Package Validation Error
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [2]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection
Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
Here are my environment details:
SQL Server 2012 {Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3368.0 (X64) } , Excel 2010 (32-bit). I am developing SSIS code on Virtual desktops with Windows 7 32-bit OS.
Also it occurred to me that since Virtual Desktops are on Shared Infrastructure, the source files and SSIS packages (code) can be on Shared drives for e.g. \\<Corpnet>\userdata\<Corp_Users_Grp>\<Username>\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Integration
Services Project2\Integration Services Project2\Package.dtsx.
Does this kind of Shared drives have any impact to give this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Ketan
P.S.: I had look at this forum question -->
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/903bbe1d-e070-4c43-9d3b-0a5193550029/64bit-error-in-excel-connection-manager-in-ssis

Hi Arthur,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, it looks like SSIS still has bunch of issues with Excel files like as follows:
1) Some times excel source files cannot be parsed by excel source connection manager.
2) For derive column conversion, we can't replace the existing column. rather, we have to add the derived column as " add as new column" which is tough to manage while destination mapping.
3) If an column in excel contains a data which is not of the data type assigned for the column in excel, the excel source reads that data as "null". For the same, we can't validate the data and redirect the erroneous data in reject file. <-- For
this we tried IMEX setting also
4) In multi-tab/sheet excel file, excel source is unable to detect a tab and identify the metadata of the excel.
I am also checking Microsoft connect for Excel issues with SSIS 2012(https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/SearchResults.aspx?SearchQuery=excel#&&PageIndex=22
As worst case scenario, I am thinking of converting Excel to CSV file or Flat text file. (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2772/importing-data-from-excel-using-ssis--part-2/).
Do you think it is advisable to convert Excel into CSV or Flat file.
Thanks,
Ketan

Accessing excel documents fom KM

Hi all
I have a problem accessing excel documents in Hebrew from the KM.
If the document's name length is more then 23 characters (in Hebrew),I get a "This page cannot be displayed" error.
It happens only if I work with Excel 2002 (XP) version.
Excel 2003 works fine,but I cannot upgrade my ~1500 workstations now.
Last year we had almost the same problem - like this:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=45589&messageID=459760#459760">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=45589&messageID=459760#459760</a>
The problem was solved by Microsoft fix :
KB Article Number(s): 918692
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
you could use the GUID instead of the displayname, it is unique, fixed in length and does not depend on language settings.
I guess you will have to write a custom property handler for that, but maybe this can be done through configuration only ...
That could be a workaround for your problem ...

Accessing Excel 2007-file from BO Explorer App

Hello all,
I have a problem when trying to access excel 2007-files in an InfoSpace ( XI 3.1 SP2) from the iPad with the BO Explorer App.
Accessing this file from the Browser is no problem and accessing the same file saved as excel 2003 is also no problem from the IPad.
Anybody an idea what could be the problem? I have to save some files with excel 2007 because number of rows.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Christian
Additional hint: Always the following error message appears:
It is not possible to retrieve the facets within the Explore tab.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:Character reference "&#26" is an invalid XML character.
Any idea? Thanks!
Edited by: Christian Hurth on Sep 9, 2011 2:35 PM

I do now see that you are correct: there is a difference between Excel 2007 and Excel 2010. Your particular usage is somewhat unusual and there probably isn't anything you can do, except to recognise that you are a beneficiary
of it (although others may be less fortunate).
The type of protection that you are applying protects the workbook against certain types of change; it does not prevent people opening it, and they do not need a password to open it, so, in a sense, it does not need to be
encrypted. In Excel 2007 (and Excel 2003 before it), the workbook was, nonetheless, encrypted, and in Excel 2010 it isn't.
This change means that someone can remove the protection outside Excel (just by deleting that single line of XML), something that couldn't be done before so it is a loss of security.
I'm a Word person, rather than Excel, and I don't know all the details of the different types of 'protection' that can be applied to Workbooks and Sheets.
I have, however, not seen anything about this before and will ask some Excel friends if they know anything. Beyond that I don't think I can help any more.
Enjoy,
Tony

XL Reporter error. Excel cannot start

Hi all, I have a SAP B1 client installed on a PC with Vista Business 32 bit OS and Excel 2007. The database server is windows server 2008 64bit. The B1 client works fine and XL reporter opens correctly.
When I try to generate a report in XLR it gives the error:
"Error starting Excel. Cause: (Set interface properties) Object variable or with block variable not set"
I have three identical machines, XLR works fine on two of them and not on the other.
I cant see any difference between the computers.
Does anyone have any experience with this error?
Cheers
Neil

This error is caused by using the incorrect client. You need to use PL 46 or higher for Mssql 2008
The problem is that it is not easy to see which client install pack you are installing unless it is from the CD.
I only figured this out by looking at the file creation dates in the client install. I uniinstalled the client from the vista machine and the Win 2008 64bit Dell R710 terminal server and installed the PL 47 client from a CD. It installed fine and upgraded itself and then installed the addins.
XL Reporter worked fine then.
When setting up for the first time dont forget to enable macros in the trust centre in Excel . Select Office Button>Excel Options> Trust Centre > Trust Centre Settings > Macro Settings > Enable all macros. Also trust access to the VBA Project.
Then go to Office Button > Excel Options > Add Ins. Down the bottom choose Com add ins and select go.
If SAP B One XL Reporter is not present select ADD and navigate to C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\XLR\XLReporter\IXXLReporter.dll and OK out.
To get these Excel items to work start Excel by right clicking the Excel icon and select Run as Administrator

Error: Access violation at 02271d4a in module observerdll.dll read address

I am using Delphi 5, SAP DI API for SAP 2004.
On a users machine, when we try to connect, we get an error "Access violation at 02271d4a in module observerdll.dll read address 00000000".
Anyone know why they could be getting this error? And what I need to do to fix it?
thanks
Bill

The problem is I have not been able to reproduce the problem on any of the machines in my office, this is only happening on a client machine. They have just the SAP client, and our program that uses the DI API.
I have instructed my client to search for that dll, and try to rename it, and rerun it. Not sure whether this will fix it or not.
Here is some example code I am using, I do not at this time know the exact point where the error is returning from, I assume from the Connect function.
function TtcSAP.Connect: string;
begin
// return empty on success
Result := '';
try
    // make sure it was created
    if not Assigned(oCompany) then
    begin
      Result := 'Error creating Company object.';
      Exit;
    end;
    if oCompany.Connected then
      oCompany.Disconnect;
    // Specify the user name and password
    oCompany.UserName := sUserName;
    oCompany.Password := sPassword;
    oCompany.DbUserName := sDbUserName;
    oCompany.DbPassword := sDbPassword;
    oCompany.UseTrusted := bUseTrusted;
    // misc settins
    oCompany.language := ln_English;
    // Specify the Company database
    oCompany.CompanyDB := sCompanyDB;
    // specify the server
    oCompany.Server := sServer;
    // connect (0 = success)
    if oCompany.Connect() <> 0 then
    begin
      Result := GetLastError;
      if Trim(Result) = '' then
        Result := 'Connection failed.';
    end;

"Problem Accessing Excel: Exiing"

I am currently using the trial version of Xcelsius Present. My goal is to present a business case to my management team for purchasing the product. however I am getting an error stating that There is a problem accessing Excel. Then the application shuts down. Any thoughts as to what the isue is and how to resolve it? I only have 22 days left on my trail version. I would like to get something out together well within that timeframe..
Any feedback is apprecaited...
Thank you.

Hi David.
1.) Go to the Task Manager and kill the excel process.
2.) Restart Xcelsius.
Xcelsius integrates and excel instance. Sometimes the excel instance is not closed properly, so you have to kill the instance manually.

Error in conversion exit for DATE

Hi
I am loading transaction data to Zcube from a flat file ,for 0CALWEEK
in excel I am unable to type 022007,if I load 22007 I am getting error like
Error in conversion exit
CONVERSION_EXIT_PERI6_INPUT
here 2 is the 2nd week in 2007
Plz provide me how to format cell in excel to take 0 as starting number and the file will be saved as CSV format or any other procedure
Thanks
Padmanaha

Hi,
Select the column in excel
Right Click and choose format cells.
In the pop up window, the first tab is for formatting. A list will be available, there you have to choose "Date" format.
Within the date format, you will find number of options to set the formatting according to your specifications.
If that does not work out, just use "Custom" format as "mmyyyy" for all the cells in that particular column.
With Regards

Xcelsius displays Problem accessing excel: closing message

Hi expert,
I installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. After that I tried to execute the program. A "Problem accessing excel: closing" message is displayed and after looking similar issues in SDN, and SAP notes... I tried following actions, as suggested::
Restart computer
To check that no MS Offices processes are being executed
No outlook is running
I uninstalled some Office 2007 extra packages
I installed Xcelsius SP1 Fix packs 1, 2 and 3.
After fix packs installation, the error message is still appearing, but now a new message also appears: "Failed to set localized string".
Does anyone have an idea about what I have to do to solve this annoying problem? I can not use Xcelsius!
There is one thing I have to check: that Excel doesn't have installed add-ins. Does anyone know if SAP Business Explorer tools, in special Excel Analyzer, can be considered as an Excel add-in? can this SAP product interfere in Xcelsius excecution, causing the message I get?
Thank you very much!

Bobby,
I have none of your mentioned software, except .xla files.
These are .xla files, from SAP GUI I have installed and from SAP Business Explorer. Can theses .xla files interfere in Xcelsius? Should I uninstall this software which is by now my Daily working tools?
BExAnalyzer.xla
CRMSalesPlanning.xla
EXPTOOWS.XLA
HTML.XLAM
MAPDataLayer.xla
MAPDialogLayer.xla
sapbex.xla
sapbex0.xla
sapbexc.xla
sapbexc350.xla
sapbexc700.xla
sapbexp.xla
sapbexs.xla
sap_rpw.xla
SEM_Installation_Check.xla
I will also try to install this Xcelsius in a Virtual Machine...
Thank you very much
