Error with excel data mining and windows 8.1

Hi I found this thread online which is exactly the same issue I am having. Has this problem been resolved?
"I installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 Data Mining add-in for Excel 2013 64 bit on Windows 8.1 64 bit Enterprise. I then ran "Getting Started" to complete the add-in setup and connect to the SSAS DB. After I opened the "Sample
Excel Data" file to test I noticed the "Table Analysis" tab under "TABLE TOOLS" appeared on the ribbon blank (without the text "ANALYZE" on the tab). When I clicked on that tab I was able to see the "Table Analysis Tools"
buttons but I keep getting the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message when I try to run any one of them and exiting out of Excel disables the data mining add-in. Is this a known issue and if yes is there a
hotfix available? Thank you."
I've also download the follwing hotfix which hasn't helped
http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/SQL%20Server%202012/sp1/SQLServer2012_SP1_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_/11.0.3393.0/free/470544_intl_x64_zip.exe
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Hi Concatch,
Which edition of Excel 2013 are you using? The supported editions of Office supported by the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Data Mining Add-ins for Microsoft Office are as follows:
Professional
Professional Plus
Ultimate
Enterprise
Besides, make sure the cube is hosted in a SSAS 2012 instance.

Windows operating system error with a Zen Sleek and windows 2

I have tried to install the creative disk that came with the Zen Sleek. After launch I get this message "windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product and can get no further. I am running windows 2000 pro. I have downloaded the creative media source program from the creative.com site and it will install beautifully but when you launch it, I get the error " CTCMS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart program." I figure that these two problems are probably related. We have been able to transfer songs by using the play for sure, but I am disappointed otherwise.
thanks, Kathy

On the packaging it should say the player is Win XP only. I'm not sure if the Sleek ships with the Easy CD that allows MTP/PlayForSure based players to work with earlier Windows versions.

Printer error with HP Laserjet 6L and Windows 7

I have an old but still functional HP Laserjet 6L (from the late 1990s), which is connected to a new computer running Windows 7 via USB. Windows 7 found the necessary drivers, but I am having frequent printer errors come up in the Printer queue, and the machine refuses to print. The problem is 'solved' when I restart my PC, and the document then prints. However this is a pain, and I obviously don't want to have to restart every time I want to print.
I would be very grateful for any advice on this. Thanks.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-and-Digital-Imaging/ct-p/bsc-412

Beginner installing SQL Server 2014 for Excel Data Mining

Hello, I'm a complete beginner with servers but Im desperately trying to gain access to the SQL server for use with the data mining addin for excel.
Could someone please help. When I try to make a connection in Excel by choosing DATA MINING> <No Connection> New> it then asks me for a Server Name in the connect to Analysis Services box. How can I find out what my Sever name is please? I have
tried all sorts of names that I have found such as SQLEXPRESS or localhost but nothing works. It also tells me to 'Ensure that the Server is running'. Another error message I receive: No connection can be
made because 'the target machine actively refused it'.
I would be really grateful for some troubleshooting tips.
Thank you

Hi Alberto,
Thanks very much for getting back to me.
Here are the results of the Analysis Services report:

I then ran the System Configuration Checker and these are the results:

(I can't paste the images as my account has not been verified)
Should I assume that I have installed the wrong version? I am running 64 Bit Windows 8.
I just need the most basic version for personal data analysis in Excel with the Data Mining Add-in.
Thanks again

Choosing the correct Excel Data Mining Addin

My company has SQL Server 2008 (not R2) and Office 2010. I checked the Excel Data Mining Add-in downloads on both the Microsoft site and SQLServerDataMining.com looking for this combination but cannot find it. The DM Addin for Office 2010 are
all SQL Server 2012 and the SQL Server 2008 version has Office 2007. I installed the SQL Server 2008/Office 2007 add-in but it keeps getting disabled. I get an error message stating that there are compatibility issues. Does anyone have an
idea on what the best add-in is to install? There are many users in the organization and the version of SQL Server is way above my pay grade.
Thanks,

Hi ChuWil2,
The Data Mining Add-ins for SQL Server 2008 is a free download that can be used with either Excel 2007 or Excel 2010. When you use the data mining add-ins, you can connect to an existing instance of
SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and use the data mining algorithms and services provided by that server to perform data mining on the data in your Excel workbook and other supported data sources.
To use both add-ins on the same computer, you must install the same version of both add-ins. Each version requires the corresponding version of Excel. When installing SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-Ins and it
can be used together with 32-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010 . In addition, if you are running a version of Windows other than Windows 7, you will need to download and install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. For more information, see:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1090.how-to-use-the-sql-server-data-mining-add-ins-with-powerpivot-for-excel.aspx
There is detail about how to troubleshoot installations of add-ins, you can review it.

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

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?
Daddy-O
One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

Hi Daddy-O,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable. In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver. This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward. Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here. From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. Have a great day!

How to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel)?

I would like to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel). Is this possible? If so, how? Currently, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) running on my iMac. I have enough disk space to split my Snow Leopard partition. I have read that if I split my Snow Leopard partition, clone my Snow Leopard partition to the new partition, and boot to the new partition, that I may have problems with the Maverick's upgrade because it may not be able to create the recovery parition, or that it may erase the Windows partition, or that it may mess up the Windows boot process.

Simplest is to install Mavs on an ext HD, using FW or TB. I don't do windoze, so can't advise about the Boot Camp and multiple volumes issue. Since there's no Boot Camp, I have four volumes running SL through Mavs.

Airport Utility `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1

Hi folks
I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53) and cannot get the Airport Utility to run at all. [5.5.3] The application icon flickers as though it is about to launch and then nothing happens.
I have tried other 5.x downloads and they all fail because I am running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
Doing a standard Software Update or using a download of 6.x from the Apple Support site, the installer comes up with an `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1, having gotten through the complete process and looking like they were `successful'.
It's the only time in two years and many updates later that i have come across this issue, so I am unsure how to start to tackle it.
Any ideas or suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Backup your files and try this:
1. Reboot from recovery partition (or as in my case USB recovery drive)
2. Select Re-install Mac OS X
3. Allow the process to run through multiple restarts
4. When reinstall process is complete run software update (side note, my software update would not launch as long as my USB recovery stick was plugged in, weird)
5. Run all updates saving the Airport Utility 6.0 until last.
6. Install the airport utility from software update.

SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7

5SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7z Ok sorry if this hasbeen covered before but I searched and couldn't find it so here goes:
I have a two month old XFI FATALTY TITANIUM CARD WITH THE FRONT PANEL BREAKOUT BOX.
It showed up staright away as a hi fi device and the optical output when selected works ok I dunno about surround sound it simply plays great stereo through my Arcam DAC connected up to my stereo.
Problems began when I decided to install the Creative Software. What happens i sit plays for maybe o mins then mutes also I primarily use i tunes and it wont play anything until a few seconds after the music starts.
This is just on optical out if I use standard phono to 3.5mm jack its fine.
What puzzles me is why this happens when using the creative software ? Reverting back to the pre creative software it plays fine I would just like to take advantage of the various functions suplied with creative software?
Any ideas please. FWIW I Completely deinstalled the card and installed? abasic CMI 8738 card and that does the same so maybe its windows 7
Oh spec wise Windows 7 32 bit
4GB RAM
Asus MOBO

Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
I just understand this, but what the hell?

Difference between OLAP, Data Mining and Data Warehousing

Dear Sirs,
I am new to the above topics, but I know oracle DBA very well. I would like to move into the above field. Hence, can anyone tell me the basic oracle softwaare used for OLAP, Data Mining and Data warehousing and also in brief the difference between these three.
I would be great helpfull to me.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Manoj Mathew,
Check these links to what Oracle has to say about its own software specific for these topics:
DataMining (tool is Oracle Data Miner): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/index.html
Datawarehousing (tool is OWB): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/index.html
OLAP (tool = Analytic Workspace Manager): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/olap.html
Good luck, Patrick

Error with Title i.d. and password in app builder

Hi;
Ive just subcribed to Pro edition DPS and am starting to build my viewer app, however im getting an error with Title i.d. and password in app builder
It says niether the title id or password are valid, however they are the same as i've used to both log into app builder and to upload my folios to the folio producer.
What am i missing here?
Scott

Yes, the account administration stuff is confusing when you jump from a "creative" account to a Pro account. As the Getting Started guide states, when you set up your Pro account, you should use dedicated Adobe IDs, such as [email protected] and [email protected], not [email protected] The Copy Folio command makes it easy to transfer folios from one account to another, especially if you do it on the same machine you used to create the folios. Everything moves over nicely.
Again, don't use your "master" account for creating and publishing folios. Use it only for account administration.
