Essbase 6.5.7 Excel Add-In in Excel 2003

Hi all, We just upgraded our Essbase Analytics server from 6.5.3 to 6.5.7 as this new version supports also Excel 2003. One of our users has installed the new version of the Excel Add-In, but apparently the Essbase menu item does not appear in Excel!! When starting up Excel, the Essbase splah screen appears and double-clicking the Excel sheet makes it possible to connect to the OLAP server. It seems to be a problem in Excel 2003. Does anyone know how to solve this annoying problem? Regards, Olivier

I have users using 6.5.4 with excel 2003 with no problem.Did you check if "Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL"and "Hyperion Essbase Query Designer Addin" options arecheck in your addins for excel? If not, try to do a find in theknowledge base. If I remember correctly, this is solved by creatinga dummy registry key in windows registry set in a specific folder.If you do a search in the forumn, you should be able to find thespecific path as to where the dummy key needs to be created.HTH

Essbase Excel Add-in for Excel 2013

Hi There,
I recently upgrade from Excel 2010 to 2013, it seems Essbase Excel Add-in (1.1.2.2) has some issue with Excel 2013, does anybody experience this too, any advice on this?
Thanks

The excel add-in is not certified to work with Excel 2013 and a matter of fact, the only version of Smart View certified with it is 11.1.2..5 which just came out. The Essbase Add-in has not been updated in a shile and has been susetted by Oracle so there will be no new versions of it

Problem: Excel Add-in with Excel 2010

I recently installed the essbase spreadsheet add-in onto Excel 2010 and it worked fine,(previosuly there was 9.3.1 Excel add-in and i removed and installed Excel add-in 11.1.2.2) but after some days it is giving beolw messgae:-
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\hyperion\analyticservices\bin\essexcln.xll' addin. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Has anyone else seen this error, know of a work around or whether a new version is in the works?

This generally happens if your excel gets crashed due to some reason / your system gets force shutdown. As suggested above, you can enable it.
Note: When you get that message to disable, do not click yes.

MDS Excel add-in with Excel online

Hi,
I would like to explore the possibility to use excel online (excel services in SharePoint) to administer MDS-data using the Excel add-in. Since there is a need to reach the Master Data menu options in the Excel sheets for the simple reason of publishing
I have not yet found a way to make this possible since the SharePoint excel online menu options are restricted.
Does anyone have any experience of using Excel MDS add-in through SharePoint Excel SErvices?
...or a similar problem allowing Excel online to show (and use) the menu bar?
(Would like to avoid rolling out Excel add-in on all clients...)
Best Regards,
Per

Any suggestions for Per?
Thanks!

Excel Add-in & Multiple excel sessions.

We all know the limitation of the add-in with multiple sessions of excel going (unpredictable results), but for an accountant it seems pretty restrictive. Especailly if there are long running retrieves. e.g. a macro that retrieves data for multiple sheets.
Anyone found a way to let someone continue working with excel (not in retrieve mode) while the long running retrieve is going?

First, understand that the session limit is one of Excel instancing, not connection/workbook related itself.
You can, with a single excel session, have multiple workbooks open, running multiple calcs connected to multiple databases, and continue to do retrieves relatively unmolested.
The impact on doing the additional items is not severe, but occasionally noticeable.
The session limit itself is a pain when you have embedded spreadsheets though, because you wouldn't be able to work in a spreadsheet attached to a powerpoint presentation if excel is open, and you do tend to get limited quite significantly if excel is not your "primary" session.

Essbase excel add in conflicts with Excel 2007

Has anyone encountered issues when using the essbase excel add-in on Excel 2007?
Is there a fix or newer add-in version?

Excel Add-In with WorkbookOpen event causes error in Word

EDIT: New information
I have narrowed the problem to a specific code. Following code produces the error message (see below in the original part):
public partial class ThisAddIn
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
void Application_WorkbookOpen(Excel.Workbook Wb)
int i = 0;
private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
#region VSTO generated code
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InternalStartup()
this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
#endregion
It does not matter whether I unregister the WorkBookOpen event in the ThisAddIn_Shutdown method or not. Whenever this piece of code is present Word gives me the error.
It seems to be a bug in Excel. Can anyone test and confirm my assumption? Does anyone know a workaround?
ORIGINAL
I have a problem with my Excel add-in (VSTO) in a very specific situation. For some reason I can't debug the add-in when it is happening.
In Word it is possible to insert and edit OLE objects. In this specific situation a user wants to insert and edit an Excel sheet (INSERT -> Table -> Excel Spreadsheet).
Let's say that Excel is not running. In an ideal world the Excel process is started by Word when the user edits the spreadsheet. The Excel process is terminated when the Word document is closed. This works fine, if my Excel add-in is deactivated.
If the Excel add-in is activated the user cannot edit the spreadsheet in Word. An error with following message is shown within Word: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is
not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed". Also the Excel process which was started by Word is not terminated when closing the document or exiting Word. Excel started by the user does not give
any error message. No dialog is opened. The add-in works fine. So there must be an error with the Excel add-in when Excel is started by Word.
I can reproduce the error with and without an attached debugger (Visual Studio). But for some reason there is no exception caught by Visual Studio while the error is happening.
Can anyone help me how to investigate on that error?
Yavuz

Hi Yavuz,
Based on my investigatiton, when the Excel doesn't start up by user the add-in would shut down immediately. So when the workbook open event was fired the callback already be relreased.
As a workaround, we can use application.UserControl to detect whether the Excel applicaiton was started by user. And here is the code for your reference:
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
if(Application.UserControl)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
Please let me know whether it works for you.

Using Bloomberg Professional Excel Add-In with Parallels and Vista

Has anyone successfully used the Bloomberg Excel Add-In for Excel 2007, Windows Vista, and Mac OS 10.5#? Bloomberg professional works fine, but I can't get any data to populate with the BDS(), BDH() or BDP() functions.

Check the file permissions on c:\winnt\system32\msvcr71.dll. This needs to be 'Read/Execute' for 'everyone'. The add-in installation only gives permissions to the User who is installing the add-in. Which causes problems when other users need to access the Add-in. (Similar problem on Citrix / TS). James Archer

Essbase Excel Add in not working

Hi All,
I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 version in windows 2008 server(64 bit system)
Server is up and running fine.!
I have installed Excel addin, then i got one issue here. When i opened excel, Smartview is displayed on the top but Essbase is not displayed. I tried so many ways, but no use.
give me some suggestions regarding to solve this issue..!
Thanks,
mady
Edited by: mady on Nov 27, 2012 11:46 AM

Mady, I hope you were not trying to open the Add-Ins directly from Windows. The Essbase XLL and XLA work within Excel as Add-Ins, not as executables. When I doubled-clicked on the XLL and XLA, I got the Microsoft Security warning, which I assume that is what you were doing wrong. You can also google Excel Add-Ins on how to manage it if you are not sure what to do. It's very straight forward.

Essbase Excel add-in error

We have upgraded to Essbase 6.5.2 and when installing the excel add-in haveencountered the message "R.xls" file cannot be found. Does anyone elseknow anything about this and how to resolve this? The addin works okay,but the users get this message each time they open excel now.JC

This sounds as if your environment variables are not set correctly or something in your registry has gone astray.I had a similar problem once which was actually caused by another VB application which was removing and adding them back in the add-ins but getting the syntax slightly wrong on the essbase add-in xla's (an extra " being created in the registry).Have you tried completely uninstalling the add-in and re-install?

Essbase Excel Add-in in 11.1.2.1

Hi All,
We have Essbase 9.3.1 in our current configuration with Excel Add-In.
We want to migrate to Essbase 11.1.2.1 but we still want to use Excel Add-In, as we have VBA Macros.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks
Satya

So what's the issue? The add-in is alive and well in Essbase 11.1.2.1.
You might want to look at the very latest and greatest version of Smart View as it gives you near parity (really, really, really close) with the add-in. Yes, I know, VBA requirements, but worth a look.

Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel ?

Hey, we are using Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel even though Excel 2010 is not supported by Oracle. Do you know of any other users using it with Excel 2010? Any problems reported?

Looks like it: Re: Hyperion Essbase Excel Addin - Unable to connect
But the OP in that thread never posted what solved his problem, if it was ever solved.
