Error with Excel 2007

Dear All,
We developed a planning application using BPS. The existing systems had Excel 2003 installed in them. The Excel layouts were designed with heavy Macro coding in the background.
Recently Excel 2007 was installed in our machines. But, unfortunately, the values displaying on the Excel are separated by comma instead of decimals (this is an excel setting,which was also changed, but still the error exists). As a result, the data save on the excel always gives an error due to the comma.
Is there any way, we can overcome this error. Also the macros do not work when the planning folder is executed.
There is no problem when the same layouts are run on Excel 2003.
Any suggestion/recommendations/solution would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aby

Thanks for your response.
We already checked these settings. But aren't SAP settings relevant for a given user? The same user can execute the BPS Layout perfectly fine in other PCs that have Excel 2003 installed.
We also changed the setting that's available in the Excel, but again of no use.
The same PC has Excel 2003 installed too, and normal numeric entries distinguish between commas and decimals as expected.
These have not yet resolved the issue we face with commas being recognized instead of decimals when we execute the Planning Layout. For this reason, macros are getting affected.
Please keep posting...
Regards,
Aby

Error in Excel 2007.

We have a user who gets an error when he will start the BPC for Excel in Excel 2007. And he can not open the BPC for Excel. The following error message appears: "In order to open the file Ev4Excel.xla the file had to be repaired or it was forced to remove unredable materials. The workbook has lost its VBA projects, ActiveX controls and all other programming functions." And it can not open the BPC for Excel
The user also has Excel 2003 installed on his computer and if he uses Excel 2003, it works.
Is it possible to have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on the same computer and run SAP BPC against both
Are there some Excel add-ins that you have to install when you install the Excel 2007?

Hi,
In SAP BPC installation guide you will find below recommendation
Note: In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must
install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider, which you can get from the
Microsoft website. The provider must be installed on the Application server.
This provided in 25mb in size. We installed it on our application server. but still some errors with excel 2007 is not resolved. Finally we tried with office 2003, but still error continued. When we moved back to office 2007, some excel-addins which were available earlier went missing.

Error in BEX7.0 with Excel 2007

Previously we had Excel 2003. It was working fine with BI7.0
When we installed Excel 2007, and trying to open a query.. it is giving folowing error
"Critical Program Error Occured. The Program has to close. Please refer to the trace for further information"
I thought its authorization issue, so I traced using ST01 for this. But there the return code is showing Sucess ( RT = 4). So can anyone let me know where is the errror.
Client wants to work with EXcel 2007 with BI7.0
Please consider this as urgent

Hi Savitha,
support on office 2007 is available with FEP 2.

Hyperion Essbase QAT Menu with Excel 2007

I just upgraded to Hyperion Essbase 11.1.1.3 and I recently upgraded to Excel 2007. Moving to XL2007 made the Essbase add-in two levels deep in the ribbon so I wanted to move this to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). I found a great tool to develop QAT menus authored by [url http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm]Ron Debruin.
I took his code and customized it to work with the Hyperion commands. Picture of menu here: http://i.imgur.com/X7zFS.jpg
Everything worked great for a few month for both myself and about 75 coworkers but once we upgraded to Essbase 11.1.1.3 from 7, the menu macros stopped working for almost everyone except for myself and a few others.
I set this macro in the xlstart folders so that it opens with excel. The QAT menu still appears for everyone, but when selecting any of the menu items to run, nothing runs.
Example: When running
Sub MyMacro21()
 Call EssMenuVConnect
End Subfrom the custom QAT menu, nothing happens. What should occur is a popup login for Hyperion. I've even tried to run the code outside of the QAT menu and it does not work so this leads me to believe something is wrong with my Hyperion code. Now mind you, this work fine on my machine.
I'm unable to determine the cause for the macro to not work. Any help or troubleshooting pointers would be appreciated.
Here is the code that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Essbase 7 add-in with Excel 2007

Hi,
We are using Essbase Spreadsheet services 7.1.3 (EssbaseWebService) in Excel 2007 and we are facing an issue with the zoom-in function. The zoom-in retrieval time is a lot more time consuming than with Excel 2003.
Do someone ever faced the same issue ?
Thanks !

Problems with Excel 2007 and Essbase 6.5

Hi,
Two quick questions:
1. We are planning to upgrade our office to 2007, XP professional SP2 but still going to use Essbase excel add-in 6.5 for some users and Essbase 7.3 add-in for others. Has anyone faced any problems with this combination?
2. The only problem I encountered so far was when I double click a member name for retrieval, the pointer (cursor/icon) flickers / flashes continuously. But when I take the pointer out of the excel spreadsheet, the flicker goes away. Does anyone know a fix to this. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm admin of an hyperion essbase database.
I'm testing our addin 6.5.1 with excel 2007.
First problem evocated on retrieve is confirmed.
I continue my test and tell you if i find another problem.
What i would say is that old version can be unsupported but i'm sure we can use this addin on excel 2007, i hope.
Regards.

Hi all,
We are unable to use the 1 million lines available with Excel 2007 with the migrated workbooks. Also, it seems that Excel is saving the files in .xls format, even if the format default in Excel is not set for .xls.
Does anyone have a solution for this??

How to open TXT file with excel 2007

With Excel 2003 if we right click the txt source file name, there will be an option to open the file Excel, but with Excel 2007, then we right click txt fiel name , there is no option of open the file with excel, is this mean that we have to copy the txt file to excel file to manipulate the source file? Any idea how to do this?

just find out that we can use the browser to find the excel and open the file, next time the excel option will be there.

Error message when opening a shared workbook with Excel 2007

Hello,
We would like to share a workbook outside BW (by saving into a serveur).Since we use Excel 2007, we can't anymore open this workbook.
We have a message error (see bellow).
For your information, it was ok with Excel 2003.
When whe save the workbook in local disk and then copy from local disk
to a serveur, it's ok.
We use SAPGUI 7.10 support package 8, patch 1 Revision 1443 & BI 7.0.
Best regards
Nicolas Triqnuand

hey Nicolas,
first of all, your error message is in French... not too many people out there will be able to understand. Eventhough I do understand French, it doesn't make much sense to me... BUT... in Excel2007 all macro's are by default disabled. When you enable them (you should get a "Security Warning" right under "the Ribbon"), your BI stuff should work again.
Just gave it a try, and it runs smoothly over here.
Cheers,
RafB

Error when using BeX Analyzer 7.0 with Excel 2007

When i try to execute a query in BeX analyzer 7.0 and my microsoft excel version is 2007, there will always have a fatal error showing. However, when i use the Bex Analyzer 3.5 , i could execute the query.
Anyway to solve this problem?

You need to do the following
Identify the SAP GUI version you're using, 6.40 or 7.10, and the patch level.
Identify the BW or BI Add-on and patch level of it.
From there, check to see if the versions you have actually support BI 7.0 and Excel 2007. Reliable Excel 2007 support requires failry current patch levels of both the SAP GUI and the corresponding BW/BW Add-ons..
Do you have access to a PC that has a more recent version of the SAP GUI and BW/ BI Add-on? If so, try using that PC and see if you still have the problem.
