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.

  • Microsoft Excel 2013 add-in not working after update

    I have originally posted this question at answers.microsoft.com and have been re-directed to post here. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/microsoft-excel-2013-add-in-not-working-after/298aff03-c90a-4a2a-b67b-07b6f3c7648c)
    We are an organization with over 200 users and are currently using Microsoft Office 2013 (Click-to-run install via Office 365 portal), we have noticed that in Excel when we apply the monthly Office update, the add-in (e.g. Analysis Toolpak) would stop working
    with the following error message displayed.
    I tried updating from 15.0.4631.1004 to 15.0.4641.1003,
    15.0.4641.1003 to 15.0.4649.1004, they all gave the same results.
    I have checked the captioned file path and it is indeed missing, I think the update mechanism messed up the add-in somehow, a full re-install would fix it as quick or online repair is not doing the trick.  This is not the only add-in it is affecting
    as there are some 3rd party add-ins are affected as well.
    Please advise how we can fix this without needing to re-install Microsoft Office.  Thank you!

    I don't have 365 or C2R so I can't address your main question, so just a few thoughts which may not be applicable in your setup.
    Check the addin manager to see if your addins are listed and ticked. If listed (ticked or not) check the registry to see where the location is written, if ticked look here
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
    and look for keys named OPENx, where x is the order number the addin is loaded
    if not "ticked" instead of \Options look in \Add-in-Manager
    With a VBA macro or in the VBE's immediate window return
    Application.LibraryPath 
    Assuming you found a listing in the registry do the paths match, if not look in the .LibraryPath to see if the addins got unloaded there into the subfolder \Analysis
    If you find the file(s) try un-installing and reinstalling the addins, but browse to the actual folder don't simply tick. If you can't find the files, copy them (from a different system) to the folder indicated by .LibraryPath. In the addin manager uninstall
    them if installed, close the manager, open it again and the addins should be listed, tick to re-install.
    You say your other addins don't work, I wonder if some mixup has occurred with what Excel thinks is the default path, but note for other addins the default addins path is returned by app.UserLibraryPath
    Are you using a Chinese system?

  • 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

  • Essbase Excel Add-In (11.1.2.1) and Office 2010

    I was wondering if anyone knows if the Essbase Excel Add-In (v11.1.2.1) is compatible in Office 2010 (64-bit)?
    I found some search results from about 6-8 months ago saying that it was supported in Office 2010, but not in the 64-bit edition. Does anyone know if this has changed and if this is in fact supported?
    If not supported has it been tested to at least work?
    Thank you in advance.

    Have a read of the following on Oracle Support - Support for Office 2010 in Essbase Excel Add-In and Smart View [ID 1191235.1]

  • Essbase excel add-on error after installing IR Studio.

    Hyperion software compatibility issues?
    Getting Essbase excel add-on error ("Error 1040007 Cannot find message database") after installing Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1. We are able to consistently reproduce the error on several workstations.
    Any ideas?
    Thx,
    Ernesto

    Try installing IR first, followed by the Essbase client. I think that worked for us. I can't recall what our path looked like in that scenario I just remember if we did it in that order things worked fine. I think Support said there is no certain "install order" that truly fixes the problem, that you have to manipluate the path by hand. But I'm pretty sure installing IR first worked in our enviro.
    I do not know of a way to install IR Studio without the Essbase components, my understanding from Support is that they changed the product install thinking it was better this way, they learned after the fact it actually causes the problem you experienced. I would imagine they've changed/fixed the install behavior again in post 9.3.1 releases, but haven't heard.

  • 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.

  • What version of Essbase Excel add-in support 64 bit Windows 7 on our PC?

    1) Can anyone tell us what is latest version of 64 bit Essbase Excel-add-in 11.1.1.3.x and will this latest version of Essbase Excel add-in support 64 bit Windows 7 on our PC?
    2) we downloaded Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 and was not able to connect to Essbase 11.1.1.3 server. It gave an error message - "This version is newer than the Essbase server." Is there a workaround? (we were hoping 11.1.2 would support 64 bit windows 7)
    ps. There is a knowlegebase article that teaches us how to get Smartview 11.1.2 to connect to Essbase. We could not quite follow the badly written KB artible, but Ms. V from Oracle tech support claims she was able to connect and she wrote the article.
    We did manage to get Smartview 11.1.2 to connect to Planning 11.1.1.3!!

    Thanks John and Jasmine.
    John,
    I am able to connect using Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 and see the list of Essbase server 11.1.1.3 app/databases. However when I tried to select one of the applications/databases, I get the Essbase warning "This version of Essbase 11.1.1.3) is older than the version of the Essbase API (11.1.2.0) you are using."
    I get sent back to Essbase system Login screen and am asked to select a app/database. Add-in keeps giving me the above message - none of the 11.1.1.3 databases would allow me to connect.
    I guess you guys did not experience this problem?

  • Unable to find/install Essbase Excel Add-in

    Hello,
    When I installed Essbase on this computer, for some reason we did not have MS Office installed and so the Add-in was not installed automatically.
    Now, I cannot find the essexeln.xll file in the bin director and Excel does not show it as an Add-in. The Excel version I am using is 9.0.3821 SR-1.
    How do I install this add-in on my computer? Thanks.
    -- Adi

    Installing the Essbase Excel add-in is pretty harmless, and I assume this is on a PC not a server correct?
    If this is 9.3.1 and if it's on a PC just run the setup.exe for the "Hyperion Essbase Release 931 Client Windows Installer" - do you still have that downloaded??
    It should fit on a flash drive if you just want to take it over to the PC in question and run the setup.exe. There's the .exe, a .jar and a .inf file that comes with the install.
    Be sure you're logged on as an Admin on the PC before you install, that's easiest.
    Once you install do a reboot just for fun (probably not required but given the history of your install) then go back to your Start | Programs menu and run that register add-in item from above.
    Good luck, hope this helps,
    Karen

  • How to secure data transmission from Essbase Excel add-in to Essbase Server

    I have a requirement to secure the data transmission (encrypt) the data transmission from the Essbase excel add in on the client machine to the Essbase server. I have confirmed with Oracle support that the excel add-in and the API only transmit the data in binary from with no encryption.
    I wanted to see if anyone has implemented this before?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Technical support gave you the correct answer, it is
    not supported. You might check with Tim Tow
    http://www.appliedolap.com to see if either the
    Dodeca or ActiveOlap products support encryption.Glenn is correct in that Oracle doesn't support it. More specifically, the Essbase server itself does not support it.
    The other products mentioned in this thread, Smartview, Spreadsheet Services, Dodeca and ActiveOLAP, all can talk to the middle tier via https and are thus encrypted through that portion of the transaction. However, the communication from the middle tier, Analytic Provider Services in the case of System 9, talks to Essbase via TCP/IP unencrypted. If your middle tier/Essbase server connections are not 'sniffable', then essentially they are secured (albeit not encrypted).

  • I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

    I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

    HI Dave,
    I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
    I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
    Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
    Does it contain a table?
    How large?
    Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
    Do those other tabs contain a table?
    Have you checked those tables for data content?
    There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
    I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Essbase excel add-in database disappears

    Hi Gurus,
    I have this issue with Essbase Excel add-in.
    When I try to connect to the database, I can see the pop-up where I can specify the SERVER and then I can see the list of databases too. However, when I select the database that I want to connect to and hit OK, the names of all the databases disappear.
    What could be the issue with this?
    Any suggestion would be helpful.
    Thanks

    First question with the add-in -- do you have more than one instance of Excel.exe running? Check it in Task Manager -- if so, kill all of the instances and try again.

    Hello Viral,   
         To reader extend your form you have two options..
         One option is using Adobe Acrobat Pro which can provide only a subset of Reader Extensions (locally saving and Digitial Signatures).
         Attached image show you the menu option in Acrobat PRO to Reader extend the form..
         Other option is by purchasing a Reader Extensions service component from Adobe and use it at the time of rendering in the Livecycle Server. 
         This option provide the full Reader Extensions functionality(things like commenting, Database and web service access, etc..).
         since in your case you are trying with the Database connections, can you try with the second option.
    Thanks
