Essexcln.xll error

I am using smartview for more than 1 year now and recently I am having a serious issue with Excel add-in, I am unable to use Excel add-in from my home when I start VPN.
Hyperion excel add-in disables automatically when I start my VPN and when I manually select check box for essexcln.xll, my excel gets freezed and I have to close it.
Please let me know if you have any ideas as it is very critical because I am unable to work from home on weekends.

Hi which version of excel are you using?
Can you check if the excel addin is disabled by your excel.
In case of Excel 2007 can u go the Excel Option-->Addin-->Manage and in the drop down list check the disabled items and press Go.
If you see the Excel addin files there enable them and restart.

Error of VBA program

Hi,allI have a VBA program developed in Excel 2000.When this program running,EssVConnect() and EssVSetSheetOption() are OK,but EssVZoomIn() has an error occured.It alerted a message "The range is not valid" and return a local failure "5" which can not be finded in the Essbase spreadsheet service help.Here is the code:Declare Function EssVZoomIn Lib "EESADDIN.XLL" (ByVal sheetName As Variant, ByVal range As Variant, ByVal selection As Variant, ByVal level As Variant, ByVal across As Variant) As Longy = EssVZoomIn("data", Null, range("A3"), 3, False)Does anyone know about this error?Essbase's version is 7.1.3.The web application server is WebSphere.

In looking back at your first post, three things struck me.1) Your definition for EssVZoomIn varies sufficiently from mine to warrant checking out (I don't have version 7.1, I'm on 6.5, so it may be a change that is okay). Below is my definition, but beyond the version, the language change may also have an influence. Either way, I'd recommend you look at the API supplied with the installed version of Essbase to see if it's valid. FWIW, here is the definition from the English 6.5 version, as you can see, the XLL name is entirely different -- again, this may not be relevant, so it's something to look at.Declare Function EssMenuVZoomIn Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" () As Long2) Your call uses the sheet name without a fully qualified workbook name. This works under some situations, and not under others. Try defining a string and range variable to see if that helps (if nothing else, it may help point out why the call fails). Here's the snipet (periods are for formatting):Dim strSheet as String, oCell as Range....Set oCell = ActiveSheet.Range("A3")....strSheet = "[" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "]" & ActiveSheet.Name & "!" & oCell.Address....y = EssVZoomIn(strSheet,Null,oCell,3,False)3) The cell A3 itself is curious, but not necessarily wrong. Perhaps there is something in the language or version that makes Essbase suspect that it's part of the page area instead of a row label. As a test, try lining the page members up in cells A1, A2, etc..., move the row labels down, make sure there is at least one blank row before your column labels, and that you have at least one column label. This just gives Essbase a better chance of interpreting your layout properly.If it's not any of the above, well, you may be right, it could very well be a version dependent bug. It wouldn't be the first time, but in general the Essbase API is fairly solid, just a bit quirky at times.Hold on here... I just realized something. The message isn't saying that the selection isn't valid, it's the range. Perhaps it is literally referring to the range parameter -- your "Null" may need to be removed to make it just:y = EssVZoomIn("data",,range("A3"),3,False).I normally use a fully defined range, "ActiveSheet.UsedRange" should work, too, although it may truncate the output if it doesn't include the rows beneith in the zoom.An alternative would be to just select cell A3 and call EssMenuVZoomIn, after setting the zoom level to 3, etc... It's not a pretty workaround, but it's a workaround.Good Luck, again :)

Excel run time error (Essbase caused?)

Currently I'm getting an error whenever I open files in Excel that seem to be pointing to an Essbase XLL file called essexcln.xll. I've searched the web and find that most of the causes relate to:
1. The essexcln.xll file being installed in the wrong location, whcih is not the case with this situation as I have verfieid its in the C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin folder
2. The add-in wasn't installed correctly, which also isn't the case as everything was installed correctly and Essbase works fine on this machine.
The files being opened do not have macros so that also doesn't seem to be the issue.
Anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? Could it be something simple that I'm overlooking?
BTW, the exact error is a pop-up box with the following:
"The file you are trying to open, essexcln.xll, is in a different format than that specidied by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
If I click "Yes", I get another VBA error:
"Run time error 53. File not found essexcln.xll"

Cause
ARBORPATH, ESSPATH, HYPERION_HOME, ESSLANG do not exist as the Add In was installed with a normal user account NOT the administrator one.
Solution
1. Log into the Client Machine with administrator access.
2. Re-install the Essbase client.
3. Check the environment variables to see if the PATH and ARBORPATH, HYPERION_HOME,ESSLANG exist.

Maximum Number of Columns Error

Okay, I've searched the discussion groups and did not see an answer to this so if anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a user trying to pull back numbers from Essbase to an Excel spreadsheet and is getting "Maximum number of columns [1] exceeded [3].There is no Essbase error message associated with the error. I can pull back the same data on my set and do not get the error. Any help......thanks.

I have to disagree with the last comment; there is no "patch" for Hyperion to send. It's a simple version incompatibility. This situation usually occurs when you either upgrade the Essbase version or Excel, usually Essbase. The problem is that the "old" version of the Add-In isn't compatible with the new Essbase kernel, or in some cases the Excel version. Try this: In Excel, uncheck the OLAP Server DLL checkbox and install it again. To do so, browse to the server's hard drive, then to the ...\hyperion\essbase\bin directory and select the Essexcln.xll file. This will get a new copy of the Add-in from the server. This situation has also occurred when version 6 Essbase is used with Excel 2003 and there's a different solution for that. If the above doesn't work, provide me with the Essbase version and the Excel version, along with what (if anything) has recently changed and I'll field it from there.

Hi Vishal,
1) Try to remove the addin and then add again.(Before doing this close all the excel process from the task Manager)
2) Check weather essexcln.xll and essxleqd.xla are corrupted.

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.

Hi Mathieu,
As per support matrix documentation, Essbase 7.1.3 is not supported with Excel 2007.
You may have to upgrade to client version 7.1.6.7 which supports Excel 2007.

EssMenuVRetrieve

Excel 2010 & Essbase Add-In

Hi,
We are using Essbase version 9.3.1. Recently, some of my users have upgraded to Excel 2010. They had been using it fine for about a month, and then all of a sudden, they started getting the error "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin\essexcln.xll' whenever they try and use the Essbase Add-In.
The only work around that I have found is that if they navigate to that path and click on the add-in and then open Excel, it will work fine, but obviously, that is not the optimal solution.
I have gone and downloaded Essbase version 9.3.3 and installed on the machine, but the same error is occurring. I don't see how this could be a problem, seeing that usually it is OK to use a newer version of the add-in, even if the overall product is on the older version.
We are planning on upgrading all of our products to 9.3.3 in the next couple of months, but I have a feeling that will not solve the add-in/Excel issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ,
The error which you are getting is due the Excel. Because Excel Disables
the Essbasee Addin some time.
When you get the same error follow the below steps.
1) Open Excel
2) Go to Home menu
3) Options -> Add-ins -> Select Disable Add-Ins
4) Select the Essbase Add-ins and Click on Enable.
5) Click Ok.
6) Restart Excel
Hope this helps.

Disconnect all active Essbase connections using VBA code in Excel

I want a vba code which will disconnect / kill all active connections of Essbase at one go. for e.g. I have 10 worksheets connected to different databases in Essbase. I want a code which will disconnect all 10 sheets at one go. Please expedite. Thanks for your help in advance.
Private Sub MDisConn()
On Error Resume Next
EssError = EssMenuVDisconnect()
ErrorBox
End Sub

Hi,
You could use EssVDisconnect which takes a sheet name and does not open the disconnect login box.
Declare Function EssVDisconnect Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" (ByVal sheetName As Variant) As Long
Sub DisConn()
X=EssVDisconnect("Sheet1")
End Sub
Cheers

Hyperion 6.5 and Excel 2007

Hello,
I try to install Essbase 6.5 Add-In on my laptop.
I currently work on Excel 2007.
I only get a message error telling me : can't find any Office installation, install Office 97, 2000 or XP before.
Do you know if Essbase 6.5 Add-in can be installed with Office 2007?
Does someone knows any workaround?
Thx and regards,
Joseph

Thx,
I found a reply (gogole's my friend).
I had to copy essxleqd.xla and essexcln.xll to C:\Hyperion\data\bin\ and browse the add-In from Excel.

Installing Essbase Excel Add-in on 11.1.2 and Excel 2007

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing the excel add-in (essexcln.xll) on Office 2007 and 11.1.2? I've been trying over the weekend, so that I can start using the vba api with essbase and I'm having no luck. I've tried the essexcln.xll at (installed drive)\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\essbase\bin and I'm getting a "file is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message box, and a whole spreadsheet of random characters.
I've also tried installing the add-in through the patch created for 11.1.1.3. The add-in works, but if I try to use the API to open an outline, I get an "outline too new" error.
Anyone have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi John,
Thanks for the help. So I've tried installing the add-in both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and I'm still getting the "The file you are trying to open, 'essexcln.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" message box. I've tried running excel as an administrator, then adding the add-in through excel's add-in menu.
When I open the file, the first line of the sheet says: This program cannot be run in dos mode.
Also, both servers are 64-bit. I'm unsure if this could affect the add-in working.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Excel Add-In Failure

I am trying to install ESS v.6.5 excel add-in but get "not recognizable file format" error when starting up excel for the first time after install. When I try to add the Essexcln.xll file manually, it gives me an "invalid add-in" error. I've already checked my environment variables path and they point to the right directories. There are no dll conflicts that I can see and I have admin rights to my computer. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Double checked my path and everything seems correct. I've copied my path below in case I'm not seeing something.ARBORPATH - C:\HYPERION\ESSBASEPath - C:\HYPERION\ESSBASE\BIN;c:\dmi\win32\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\WbemRunning excel 2000 (which should work with Ess 6.5 no?)Also tried deleting the add-in and reinstalling but to no avail. Other ideas?
