Error Using Excel as Source

I am not able to use the Excel as Source, Following is the brief description of the situation
Excel Source File Kept at - Server Machine
DSN created for the Excel File on Server Machine
Agent created on the Server Machine
Development being done on the Client Machine
There is no DSN created for the Excel file on the Client Machine. Question 1 - Do we need to create a DSN even at the Cleint Side. Logically we should not. Please Clarify
While Creating Model for this Source Excel file I am not able to see teh data or reverse the Excel File. Please provide inputs
I am getting the following errordescription

Correct me If i am wrong, I guess DSN can point only to the local files on the machine.
Also,
A userDSN can be only access by the same user (logiin user) on the machine
A systemDSN can be accessed by all the users on the machine including NT services.
So even you create a UserDSN on your local machine, the file is still on server correct ?
So you may not be able to create such DSN
tell me where your agent is created. It shoudl be on same machine where your file is created. Also make sure that you use System DSN rather than userDSN as I said that userDSN is accessible to only same user, but systemDSN is availabe to all including NT services.
Just corss check every thing and let me if youu fiind any problem there.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for Adrian's help.
    Hi shaza,
    From the error message, I suggest you can refer the Adrian's suggestion to check the date source connection string correctly.
    In addition, you can refer the following about how to Create a Data-Driven Coded UI Test to check your issue:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624082.aspx
    Or you can also try to use a Configuration File to Define a Data Source for coded UI test.
    For example:
    <?xml
    version="1.0"
    encoding="utf-8"
    ?>
    <configuration>
    <configSections>
    <section
    name="microsoft.visualstudio.testtools"

  • Error using Excel as a DataSource for Report Builder 3.0 - ODBC connection

    Hi,
    I'm getting this error message below while trying to use excel as a datasource within Report Builder 3.0.  I can see the columns and rows but unable to display/run the report.  Using Excel 32 bit and have the driver and user dsn created under c:/windows/syswow64/odbcad32.
    ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

    Hi Cherise,
    Vishal's link looks good.
    I have commercial experience in migrating Crystal Reports to SSRS. When performing any type of migration it is always wise for the business requirements to be revisited. It is likely that the business requirements may have changed since the Crystal reports
    were initially developed, etc.
    I've done some research for you and the following link looks quiet impressive and offers a cheap trial, in terms of a direct migration. Please tell me how you get on; - 
    http://www.sqlcircuit.com/2013/08/ssrs-how-to-create-report-using-excel.html
    I emphasis again I have commercial experience of lots of migration projects and it would be very unwise to not revisit the business requirements as part of the migration process.
    Kind Regards,
    Kieran.

  • Bulk create Active Directory Users and Groups in PowerShell using Excel XLSX source file instead of CSV

    Hi Scripting Guy.  I am a Server Administrator who is very familiar with Active Directory, but new to PowerShell.  Like many SysAdmins, I often need to create multiple accounts (ranging from 3-200) and add them multiple groups (ranging
    from 1 - 100).  Previously I used VBS scripts in conjunction with an Excel .XLS file (not CSV file).  Since VBS is essentially out the door and PowerShell is in - I am having to re-create everthing.
    I have written a PowerShell script that bulk creates my users and adds them to their corresponding groups - however, this can only use a CSV file (NOT an XLS file).  I understand that "CSV is much easier to use than Excel worksheets", but
    most times I have three sets of nearly identical groups (for Dev, QA and Prod).  Performing Search and Replace on the Excel template across all four Worksheets ensures the names used are consistent throughout the three environments.
    I know each Excel Worksheet can be exported as a separate CSV file and then use the PowerShell scripts as is, but since I am not the only SysAdmin who will be using these it leads to "unnecessary time lost", not to mention the reality that even
    though you clearly state "These tabs need to be exported using this naming standard" (to work with the PowerShell scripts) that is not the result.
    I've been tasked to find a way to modify my existing PowerShell/CSV scripts to work with Excel spreadsheets/workbooks instead - with no success.  I have run across many articles/forums/scirpts that let you update Excel or export AD data into an Excel
    spreadsheet (even specifying the worksheet, column and row) - but nothing for what I am trying to do.
    I can't imagine that I am the ONLY person who is in this situation/has this need.  So, I am hoping you can help.  How do I modify my existing scripts to reference "use this Excel spreadsheet, and this specific worksheet in the spreadsheet
    prior to performing the New-ADUser/Add-ADGroupMember commands".
    For reference, I am including Worksheet/Column names of my Excel Spreadsheet Template as well as the first part of my PowerShell script.  M-A-N-Y T-H-A-N-K-S in advance.
       Worksheet:  Accounts
         Columns: samAccountName, CN_DisplayName_Name, sn_LastName, givenName_FirstName, Password, Description, TargetOU
       Worksheets:  DevGroups / QAGroups / ProdGroups
         Columns:  GroupName, Members, MemberOf, Description, TargetOU

    $cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
    $cmd.CommandText="Select * from [$sheetName$]"
    $conn.open()
    $cmd.ExecuteReader()
    It is called like this:
    Get-ExcelSheet -filename c:\temp\myfilename.xslx -sheetName mysheet

  • Error while designing Deski reports using excel 2010(xslx) as data source

    Hi All
    We are using BOXI R3.3 on Windows 2003 Server.
    When we are trying to create DESKTOP INTELLIGENCE REPORTS using EXCEL 2010(xlsx) format prompting with below error.
    "Cannot update.Database or object is read only(3207) "
    Could you please clarify whether BOXI supports MS EXCEL 2010 version(xslx) version or not?
    If not what is the work around for this?

    Here is what Supported Platforms Guide says : Microsoft Office 2010 (starting with FP 3.4)**
    As you are on FP3.3, Office 2010 is not supported in your implementation.
    You need to either upgrade, or use pre-Office 2010 formats.

  • Using Excel as data source

    Hi,
    i have created a crystal report that uses Excel as data source. Reason i used excel is for easy updating of data by non IT users. The report runs perfectly on my computer, but when i upload it to Infoview, there is error when i run the report from Infoview:
    "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
    "Unable to retrieve Object.
    The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
    May i know what causes the error? There is no user id/password to access the excel file.
    I have also tried saving the excel in the same server as the crystal report server, but i still face the same error.
    Pls help!
    Thanks

    You would have created a connection in your local system to access the XLS data
    You should be creating a similar connection in the server as well and then update the rpt file with the connection details in CMS
    Thanks,

  • I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

    I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

    In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
    If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import.  It does pretty well on basic things, though.
    If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

  • Error in Excel VBA script while using sharepoint web service

    Hi Can you please help me out  in this ?
    nain1987

    Hi Nain,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred in the Excel VBA scripts which was used to update SharePoint list.
    I recommend to check if the URL of the web service is in the right scope. If the list is in a subsite, the URL should be: http://servername/site/ _vti_bin/Lists.asmx.
    To update SharePoint list using Excel VBA script, you can refer to the link below:

    Hi everybody.
    I'm doing an Xcelsius Dashboard and I need to show a percentile value in a line graphic component.
    Even I've read that "percentile" Excel function is supported by Xcelsius (Xcelsius 2008 SP3 User Guide), I get an error when trying to preview SWF.
    This is the error:
    "Incompatible Excel Function".
    Anybody knows what's happening?
    My Xcelsius version is:

    Compilation 12,3,0,670
    (Spanish)
    Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar experience with formula Weeknum. I had the Dutch Excel version installed and used the Dutch version of the formula, it did not work same message. Then I tried the formula in English,  of course Excel could not execute it, BUT Xcelsius did work fine.
    So I guess you have the Spanish Excel installed also, try both languages.
