Essbase Add-in for Excel XP

We're testing the 6.1 version of the Spreadsheet Add-in on the XP version of Excel. It's not allowing me to double-left-click to perform a retrieve. Is the spreadsheet Add-in supported for the XP version of Excel? Are there other problems with using the Add-in on the XP version of Excel that I will encounter?TIA!!Byron

We have 6.1.4 or greater will support Office XP loaded on the client machine. I am not sure about Windows XP. We had to wait for 6.1.4 to release before we could deploy Office XP. Hope this helps! Later.Geoff

HELP!!! VBA & Essbase Add-in for Excel

HelloI am trying to automate some spreadsheets in excel using some vba code. I am able to use code to connect and retrieve, but i would like to be albe to select zoom functions from "Options" on the Essbase menu. Does anyone know how to do this?The code i use to connect is as follows:Declare Function EssVConnect Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" (ByVal sheetname As Variant, ByVal username As Variant, ByVal password As Variant, ByVal server As Variant, ByVal application As Variant, ByVal database As Variant) As LongThen to execute this code i have the following:x = EssVConnect(Null, "username", "password", "192.168.0.1", "Tech_99r", "Tech_99r")I hope this is clear, if not then reply and i will try and make this clearer.

The VBA commands you are looking for are EssVZoomIn and EssVZoomOut.In Excel (with spreadsheet addin active) go to Help > Essbase Help.Expand the section titled "Essbase Spreadsheet Toolkit", then expand the section "Visual Basic for Applications Functions", lastly, expand the section "VBA Functions from A to Z".There you will find all the different comands available through the Spreadsheet toolkit and the proper syntax for each.

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
Error message
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See
server logs for more details.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. (System)
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (System)

BUTTONS:

Bn

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!

PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010

Could I ask a couple of questions about the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010?
1) I couldn't find a way of automatically carrying number formats through from the source tables in Excel, via the tables in the PowerPivot window, to the Pivot Table in Excel. For example I have £7.20 in a source table, but this appears as £7.2 in
the Power Pivot window and 7.2 in the Pivot Table in Excel (3 different formats). Is it possible to get the value to appear
automatically as £7.20 in all 3 places?
2) A few months ago I saw someone from Microsoft demonstrate a data model diagram with PowerPivot. I couldn't see this in the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010. Is it only available with Excel 2013?
Many thanks.

1) Number formats have to be done manually,
    in three different places.
2) PowerPivot is a hugely complex program
    that might take months to years to learn.
    A simple demo is not going to accomplish much.
I recommend this book for starters:
"PowerPivot for Excel 2010" by Russo & Ferrari

Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel - Unattended installation

Hi.
I would lige the Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel to be installed silently, but it seems only to be possible for a Per-User installation with the parameter "setup.exe /passive"
I need the installation to be for All Users, but I can´t find any parameter that makes that possible.
/ Torsten

Hi,
Based on your description, your required could be done via logon scripts. Please see the below steps:
1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste, or type, the following:
Const ENGINEERING_GROUP = "cn=engineering"
Const FINANCE_GROUP = "cn=finance"
Const HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP = "cn=human resources"
Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "h:",
"\\FileServer\Users\" & wshNetwork.UserName
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" &
ADSysInfo.UserName)
strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf))
If InStr(strGroups, ENGINEERING_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Engineering\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\EngLaser"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\Plotter"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\EngLaser"
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, FINANCE_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Finance\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\FinLaser"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\FinLaser"
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Human Resources\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\HrLaser"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\HrLaser"
End If
3. On the File menu, click Save As.
4. In Save in, click the directory that corresponds to the domain controller's Netlogon shared folder (usually SystemRoot\SYSVOL\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts where DomainName is the domain's fully qualified domain name).
5. In Save as type, click All Files.
6. In File name, type a file name, followed by .vbs, and then click Save. WSH uses the .vbs extension to identify files that contain VBScript commands.

Issues using EPM Add- in for Excel

Hello everybody,
I have installed the EPM add-in for Excel 2010 in one of my client computers, but we're facing two different issues in this machine:
1. Everytime he opens Excel the EPM add-in is disabled so he has to activate it each time he wants to use BPC.
2. When he opens an activity from the BPF that is related to a Excel file it does nothing (this BPF works fine in other computers)
I don't know if both issues are related but any ideas of why this could be happenning and how to solve them are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Nidia

Hi Nidia,
Which version of excel are you using?
.net 3.5 or .net 4 version of epm add in?
maybe try the latest release, which is SP21 patch 1.

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

Re: Essbase Add-in and Excel 2010

I have a user who is getting the following error:
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem11r1\products\exceladdin\bin\essexcin.xll" add-in. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Do we need to reinstall the Essbase add-in ?
I have had the user disable other add-ins via 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins and that didn't resolve the problem.
Are there any compatibility issues with 64 bit Excel?
Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear
'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins
Excel version : 2010
Add-in version Essbase Spreadsheet add-in, Fusion Edition 11.1.2
I would appreciate a quick response.
My email id is < removed by moderator so that you don't get spammed for all Eternity >

Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear
'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins
The user has the following items:
Essexcin.
In2Hyp Essbase ribbon.
Oracle Essbase Query Designer Addin.
The items which I have in 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins is:
In2Hyp Essbase Ribbon
Oracle Essbase OLAP Server DLL (Non- Unicode)
Oracle Essbase Query Designer Addin.
Could you please kindly help me understand the difference?
Do you recommend reinstalling the Essbase add-in ?
Thank you very much for your help.

TDMS Add-in for Excel stopped working

Hi-
I have the TDMS Add-In installed for Excel and it was working fine, until I installed LV 8.6 (not sure if that's what did it, but that's the only change made to the machine..) Once LV 8.6 was installed the TDMS Add-In started showing up in the "National Instruments Software" section of Add/Remove Programs whereas it was "Excel TDM Add-in" prior.
The behaviour is that the Toolbar buttons show, but when you press them nothing happens.
I've tried un-installing TDMS Add-In from Windows CP, that removed the toolbar from Excel, but re-installing the TDMS Add-In doesn't fix it (buttons still do nothing).

Hi,
I was looking through the posts, and thought this was rather interesting - I have seen/delt with customers using this in LabVIEW 8.6. They've never reported any issues.
I would agree with michelle, with the questions.
I am aware that labVIEW 8.6 and the Report Generation Toolkit needed to be upgraded to 1.1.3 and only works for new versions of Office (which caught customers out), could it be, that your using an older version of Excel...
However, when Im back in the office tomorrow - I will try out the toolkit with LabVIEW 8.6 - as I am yet to try it out.
Please respond with more information.

How do I sign my VB / VS 2010 based shared COM add-in for Excel so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?

My COM add-in is developed using VS 2010 and VB. It's a shared COM add-in (not VSTO) and it works with Excel 2007 - 2013. My installer is signed with a code signing certificate but it would appear that my add-in's .dll should also be signed if the user has
checked the "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher" option.
The "Sign the assembly" option is checked in my add-in's VB -> My Project -> Signing. I have a .snk file selected which I seem to recall generating 6 or 7 years ago when I ported the COM add-in from VB6 to .NET.
I have an up-to-date Comodo code signing certificate (a pfx file called MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx) which I purchased to use with the installer and was wondering if and how I could use this.
I tried selecting my pfx file in the My Project -> Signing -> "Choose a strong name key file" dialog. It made a copy of the pfx file in my project folder but when I tried to build the project, I got the following error:
Error 1 Cannot import the following key file: MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the
following key container name: VS_KEY_C0B6F251F0FB6016
After a little research, I found out I might be able to use signtool to sign the dll in a post-build step.
I added the following command to the post-build event, before the command I use to regasm the assembly.
"path to signtool\signtool" sign /f "MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx" /p "xxxx" /v "$(TargetPath)"
When I built the project, the dll appeared to get signed (the output window showed a bunch of confirming text as well as "Successfully signed: c:\MyAddIn\bin\Release\MyAddIn.dll") but the next step in the post-build (regasm myaddin.dll /codebase)
issued a warning RA0000 (see below) but reported "Types registered successfully".
Here's the message I get from regasm, even though the output window says the dll was sucessfully signed:
RegAsm : warning RA0000: Registering an unsigned assembly with /codebase can cause your assembly to interfere with other applications that may be installed on the same computer. The /codebase switch is intended to be used only with signed assemblies. Please give your assembly a strong name and re-register it.
Types registered successfully
I'm not using a shim if that makes a difference.
How do I sign my add-in so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello,
Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.
You may also find the
What's the Difference, Part Five: certificate signing vs strong naming article helpful.

Essbase Add-in and Excel 2010

Hi All,
I have a user who has just had Windows 7 and excel 2010 installed and is able to connect to Essbase through the add-in but when he tries to retrieve data it completely crashes his excel which shuts down immediately.
As far as I have read the add-in does not support 2010 64-bit but I have win7 and excel 2010 and do not have the same problem and I am to retrieve data with no issues. We both have the 32-bit version of 2010 so I'm not sure why his excel is shutting down.
We are on 11.1.1.3 of Essbase
Any pointers or experiences you can give are appreciated
Thanks
Luke

Is there any other addin installed on this machine, if yes try the retrieval after disabling that addin.
If not
Try un-install and re-install of Essbase Excel Addin

Microsoft Sql server data-mining add-on for excel 2013:

In browsing the models using excel data-mining add-on the browsing query recognized that the query times out after 60 seconds. The question is how we can increase the query time-out
time for data-mining add-on?

Perhaps you are meaning the timeout settings for your Analysis Server -- under Properties, General, DatabaseConnectionPoolConnectTimeout defaults to 60. Though I doubt that browsing any model should take 60 seconds. Try browsing the model
from Management Studio and seeing if you also need a lot of time.

Difference between EPM Add-in for Excel and BPC 10.0?

Hi Forum,
I'm currently researching an upgrade to version 10.0. We're currently running BPC 7.0 for MS. I'm confused at the moment, because I'm not sure if/what the difference is between the EPM Add-In and BPC 10.0. Can someone answer this?
I'm also not understanding the future roadmap for BPC 10.0 and beyond. It appears to me that an attempt to merge Business Objects functionality and BPC functionality into one product/suite of products is what is happening, but I could be wrong about that too. Can someone expand on this as well?
Thanks,
Mike

The EPM10 Client (aka add-in) is the unified Excel interface for a subset of EPM products (Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidations, Strategy Management and BPC). Clients did not like having different report writing paradigms in all of these applications, so the EPM10 Client was developed utilizing a technology called Extended Analytics Analyzer mashed with some of the BPC reporting functionality from BPC7.x to provide one stop shopping for accessing data in EPM applications. Additionally, the EPM10 Client can be used in many cases to report directly against native BW cubes or any other source that supports an ODBO connection.
BPC10 is the planning and consolidations application with the code engine to support the application functionality. If you purchase/upgrade to BPC10, the EPM10 Client is made available as an additional download to complete the package. In BPC10, the EPM10 Client is used both for reporting as well as for write back to the database for end users.
A new roadmap with BPC10 and beyond is just being finalized. Look for announcements around this in the next few weeks.
