Excel 2007 ActiveX support

System Windows 7
I have written many VBA Excel 2007 applications.
Starting point is to create a Button or Command.
All of a sudden this is not possible. I expect an error in an update.
Excuting Excel VBA 2003 .xls programs is possible.
Excuting Excel VBA 2007 .xlsm programs is not possible.
All options for security centrum are "open"

Maybe it is good to give some background of the problem. I use a PC with Window 7 (4 processors)
What I original tried to do is to copy a name of a person from a html table on internet (text) into a Excel 2007 spreadsheet. That worked in only 25% of the cases. In most cases Excel thinks that it is a program or an url which I think requires some security
checking. As such Excel issues all sorts of security warnings which ofcourse are all "wrong". Manual entering those names "solved" the problem.
Next I tried to excute my Visual Basic program and that did not work. Adding new commands also did not work. This was strange because the Excel program always worked perfect. I saved the program (not as xlsm) but as .xls and I tried the program with Excel
2003. (Pentium P4 Windows XP 1 processor)
First that did not work. To correct that problem you have to create new commands(buttons) and save the program as .xls file. This Excel program I can now execute on my Windows 7 PC.
The interesting part is that excution time on my old PC (P4) is faster than on the new one.
I have found two work arounds under Excel 2007.
You can create a new empty macro and copy the VB program "behind" the activeX command into your empty macro. That works.
You can also create a Forms Button on your Excel .xlsm sheet (blad) and do the same. This makes the whole security protocol rather discutable.  The active X commands are not working.

  • Issue with excel 2007(not supporting 10lakhs records)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a small issue . As we know that Excel 2007 supports 10 lakhs records and 2003 supports 65000 records. So when  I am executing the query in Excel 2007 , getting only 65000 records after that it is not displaying any data. we are using  BW  3.5 version and SAP log on is 710.
    I have saved excel as a excel workbook it is showing 10 lakhs rows but data is not displaying. And I am thinking that we need to install support packages , so can any one suggest me that what version/type of support packages we need to go  or any one have faced this kind of issue before.
    Please post your valuable comments.
    Thanks,
    Kulkarni

    Hi,
    Even executing in WEB , while exporting it is showing only 65000 records in Excel 2007 supposed to show 10 lakhs records.

  • TDMS Excel Add-in Does not support new Excel 2007 Row Limit

    First off I would like to say the TDM/TMDS format is really useful. It allows you to do all kinds of things that would be a real pain if you tried to do it with tab delimited spreadsheets. You can format data into excel sheets for analysis with seperate tabs and channel names over the columns and the whole nine yards. You can even throw error messages into the properties that show up on the first tab.
    The problem occurs when the user is working with really large files. Excel 2003 and all previous versions of Excel have limits of 65,536 rows by 256 columns. Until the latest version of the TDM Excel Add-in if you tried to import files larger than this it would throw an error and wouldn't create any file at all. Now it imports a file and you specify the index, which is so much better. 
    Excel 2007 supports 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns! This is really useful. But the current version of the TDM Excel Add-In does not support the new row limit. Is there any way we can get a version of this for 2007 that supports the new row limits? It would be cool if the Add-in could auto-detect the version and change the import limits accordingly but that may be too much to ask. Has anyone else run into these problems?
    My client would like to record hour long files at 200Hz all day long. Thats 720,000 rows of data per file. Yes, thats a lot but excel can handle it. The TDMS importer cannot. Of course there are work arounds and we will have to use one if a new version of the TDM Excel Add-in is not made soon. Is there a new version coming? Please say yes.
    [will work for kudos]
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I redownloaded the file. I couldnt figure out how to completely uninstall the verison of the TDM importer already installed, so I just tried to install the one i downloaded. The installer said "no software will be installed or removed" and I had to click cancel because there was no next option.
    I tried to import the data again with the importer and got the same 'selective import' dialog box again, limiting me to the 65,535 rows.
    Here is what I am getting.
    How do I uninstall the add-in so that I may reinstall it?
    I uploaded a copy of one of my tdms files to the ftp.ni.com/incoming directory for you to download and attempt to import.
    File: "442732.zip"  size: 82.2 mb
    A little more information about the tdms file
    The data is 14 columns of single precision float and is about 720k rows. There are four sections (sheets in the same excel document) with the data converted differently in each tab/section. The data is the same amount in each section as well. There are also a couple sections listing the constants and scalars used to convert the data, as well as the typical first page of tdms information about the data.

  • How to change series or line color in excel 2007 using ActiveX

    I am trying to change series color using Excel 2007 with ActiveX as below. It seems the color cannot be controlled correctly. For example, if I chosse red color, my curve will be changed to blue. Any ideas?
    Also, I googled and found a guy ran into similiar problem using VBA for Excel 2007. See the link below:
    http://help.wugnet.com/office/change-series-line-color-excel-2007-vba-ftopict1062646.html

    According to the post, it need to be done as follows
    objSeries.Border.Color = RGB(255, 127, 0) . But I cannot find the border property/method in ActiveX.
    The color seems to be abitrary. and I found the 

    Xubuli,
    I looked into your question and confirmed that Border.Color is not located under the Excel.Series library. Instead, you must locate it under _Worksheet.UsedRange as seen below in the figure. I am attaching the VI file where I located the the Border.Color property node, and I am also including a SubVI on the block diagram that goes into explicitly set the cell color and border. This SubVI can be found under Programming>>Report Generation>>Excel Specific>>Excel Format>>Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi, if you have the Report Generation Toolkit installed. I hope this helps.

  • Excel 2007 Support for versions prior to BPC 5.1

    Hi,
    Will versions prior to BPC 5.1 support Excel 2007?  Specifically 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2?
    Thanks,
    Mike Lantz

    4.0 & 4.1 would not have been tested and certified on 2007 as they were relased before Jan 2005.  As of 4.2 SP3 (released April 2006) the supported Excel versions are listed in the release notes as:
    Excel 2000 SR1 or later
    Excel 2002 (XP)
    Excel 2003 or later

  • Excel 2007 and Smartview 11.1 file open slow

    We are in the process of upgrading to HFM system 11.1 and smartview 11.1.1.3 and as part of this process we are starting to use Excel 2007. I am encountering an interesting problem when opening files in Excel 2007 using smartview 11.1 and I am wondering if any one else has seen this problem and found a solution.
    First I converted an excel 2003 file to excel 2007 and saved the file as an xlsx file type. Then I am able to open the file and it would take about 30 seconds to open the file. The file has about 15,000 formulas on for spreadsheets. If I click on each spreadsheet individually and use the "Refersh" button I can save the file in about 10 seconds and then close the file. When I open the file again it will open in 30 seconds. Now using the same file I click "Refresh All" and the file processes fine. I am able to save and close the file in about 10 seconds. However, when I try to open the file again it takes about 20 minutes to open, and then 20 minutes to close.
    This only happens with two or three files. I have another file that is 40 spreadsheets and about 3,000 formulas that is not affected when I click Refresh or Refresh All.
    Any help would be apperciated.

    Hi
    On metalink i found some notes about this issure
    "Background
    SmartView communicates over HTTP using .NET. This just means that requests and responses are sent in a standard XML format that is tucked in the HTTP headers. The mechanism is the same as when your internet browser requests a file or submits a form (simplification). A standard Microsoft component that is part of Internet Explorer is used for this.
    There are three components (four if you include the network) in a SmartView refresh:
    -the client
    -the web server
    -the HFM application server
    It is easiest to troubleshoot when they are on separate machines. (Running SmartView on the server to see whether it works better is a useful test to see what effect the network is having, but doesn't show any other bottlenecks.) If you run Task Manager on these 3 machines showing the Performance tab, you will see initial activity on the client as Excel clears the cells and the request is converted into XML. Then you see the web server get busy as it receives and parses the request. Then the application server is busy as it send the data, then the web server is busy as it compiles the results into XML again, and finally the client parses the XML, pushes the data into cells and runs an Excel calculation. This last stage is the longest of all. Overall, it is typical to see the client doing 90-95% of the work, so client performance is a very important factor. Look out for Excel's memory usage increasing and RAM becoming in short supply. Often, user dissatisfaction with refresh times can be alleviated by giving them more RAM or a faster PC.
    The situation we are dealing with here, however, is when the chain of events described above is interrupted. In this case, you will see the client or the web server wait in vain for a response from the next machine in the chain. The case of invalid XML is similar, but the response is truncated so that the XML is not well-formed when it arrives. XML consists of matching pairs of tags and is not well-formed when a closing tag is missing. This can be caused by certain network settings such as packet size (see later). The end result in either case is the same: as Excel cleared the cells before sending the request, cells are left blank or with zeroes.
    Your job now is to work out why the particular component is failing.
    Client
    Check the HTTP time out in the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
    "ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00
    "KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    "ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. Also, the time-out limit is 30 seconds for Windows Internet Explorer 7. To change the settings, add the above keys. The above values are hexadecimal, not decimal and correspond to 18000 milliseconds (3 minutes) and 240 minutes for the receive time-out. See
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
    Once you make those changes, my recommendation is that you reboot the client machine.
    Web server
    Look for errors in logs showing that the web app didn't respond/disconnected or timed out waiting for another application (i.e. the HFM application server). Eliminate load balancers etc. during testing in order to isolate the problem and to ensure that the user always goes to the same web server otherwise, logs can be hard to interpret. See also the IIS Tuning Guide for IIS settings. We cannot recommend particular settings, as each client must establish the optimal settings for their own environment after performance testing. If necessary, engage the services of a suitably qualified consultant.
    Application Server
    HFM application server performance is very dependent on whether the data is already in RAM or not. One symptom, where the first refresh fails but the second one succeeds, is probably a sign that the cache needed to be populated and once that had been done (by the first refresh) it went faster. HFM loads whole subcubes (Scenario, Year, Value and Entity) into cache, so asking for lots of accounts in the same subcube is fast, but asking for lots of entities will inevitably slow things down as it runs out of RAM and starts unloading subcubes to make room for more. The HFM event log (HsvEventLog.log) shows this happening, but don't forget that the messages you see are a normal consequence of the way HFM works and are not a problem unless you see a hugely elevated number of them during the period the refresh occurs. Another sign would be page file thrashing.
    If there are several servers in a cluster, use sticky sessions in HFM to make sure tests always go the same server, or hit one server directly rather than using the cluster.
    Solutions here involve giving more RAM to the server (probably not possible because of the 2 GB limit) and changing the worksheet design to restrict the number of subcubes accessed. A separate consolidation server, so that reads are not competing with intensive consolidations and calculations, would be a good thing.
    Network
    To find out if packets get fragmented, use
    ping -l size -f
    to send a big packet with the 'don't fragment' flag. E.g.
    Ping -l 1024 -f oracle.com
    If you see a reply like Reply from 141.146.8.66: bytes=1024 time=200ms TTL=245 then the size you specified is below the packet limit of the network. But if you use, for example, 2000 in place of 1024, you get Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set, then you know you have exceeded the limit. Combine this investigation with a Fiddler trace (https://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see what size data messages are being sent and received.
    Troubleshooting Guidance
    If you seriously want to go into this in more detail, then it will take a considerable effort on your and your IT Department's part. My general advice would be:
    1. During this process, fix your environment so that it is predictable. Register a single HFM application server and connect to that. Use a single web server and don't go through Apache or any other redirector. Make sure we know which machine to go to for logs. This would be a temporary measure and it doesn't stop the other users using the full, load balanced system so long as it doesn't involve your server.
    2. As far as possible keep other users from using it during testing, unless you are specifically testing for performance under load. We want to see what activity is due to SmartView and not random other jobs.
    3. Use PerfMon on all three machines: client, web server and application server.
    4. Clear Logs before testing and note the times of each test so the logs can be correlated.
    5. Log CPU activity, memory usage, network throughput, page faults, thread count etc. I'm no expert on this so get advice from someone who is.
    6. In addition to the performance logs, from the IIS Server get:
    * HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR (Default location; configurable)
    * IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC# (Default location; configurable)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    7. From HFM Application server get:
    * HsvEventLog.log (in <HFM install>\Server working Folder)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    8. Be aware of all timeout settings in your environment (i.e. IIS & the network) and time your tests. This can show whether it is an ASP timeout, script timeout, client side timeout or whatever. Note that the Web Session Timeout setting for SmartView in HFM's Server and Web Configuration is a separate issue from IIS timeouts. Web Session Timeout controls the length of idle time before SmartView makes the user log in again. Default 20 mins.
    9. Run Fiddler traces to directly observe the XML and check for HTTP failures.

  • Why ribbon XML does not work in Excel 2007?

    I installed 4 VSTO Excel add-ins on an Excel 2007 PC today. The two that use a visual designer ribbon worked fine. But the 2 that use a Ribbon (XML) did not. The add-in starts ok. But the ribbon does not show. Why would that be?
    I wrote two more add-ins to demonstrate the problem. One puts an OK button on the ribbon using the visual designer. That add-in installs on the excel  2007 PC and works as it should. But the 2nd, an add-in that uses Ribbon (XML) to put a button on the
    ribbon, does not work.  The add-in does not display on the ribbon.

  • Error in Excel 2007.

    We have a user who gets an error when he will start the BPC for Excel in Excel 2007. And he can not open the BPC for Excel. The following error message appears: "In order to open the file Ev4Excel.xla the file had to be repaired or it was forced to remove unredable materials. The workbook has lost its VBA projects, ActiveX controls and all other programming functions." And it can not open the BPC for Excel
    The user also has Excel 2003 installed on his computer and if he uses Excel 2003, it works.
    Is it possible to have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on the same computer and run SAP BPC against both
    Are there some Excel add-ins that you have to install when you install the Excel 2007?

    Hi,
    In SAP BPC installation guide you will find below recommendation
    Note: In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must
    install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider, which you can get from the
    Microsoft website. The provider must be installed on the Application server.
    This provided in 25mb in size. We installed it on our application server. but still some errors with excel 2007 is not resolved. Finally we tried with office 2003, but still error continued. When we moved back to office 2007, some excel-addins which were available earlier went missing.

    Can anyone please help me??

    Can you check Note 1010935 - Can you increase the number of rows for an export file?
    Symptom
    Is it possible to increase the maximum number of rows used in an export?
    Solution
    Yes, it is possible to increase the maximum row limit used in an export.
    For hosted customers, please contact Support who will be able to change this on your behalf.
    For On Premise customers, you need to log into the application using the "system" login.  The property can be found by going to the following:
    Setup / System Setup / Configuration / select System Properties from the drop down list and find the property system.ResultSet.maxNumberRowsExported
    The description on this property is as follows:
    Maximum number of rows in a query result set which may be exported to PDF, Excel, or CSV before the operation is prohibited. This is also used to limit the size of a result set being produced by a scheduled report task.
    Please note that Excel also has some limitations on the maximum number of rows, therefore you may still experience a limit to 65K (which was the Excel Limit in Excel97 - Excel 2003). Therefore if you export to excel and your limit is higher than 65K, you will still only see 65K of records. The reason for this is that the open source Apache POI that is used to do the export has not been updated to support Excel 2007 which has a higher limit
    Thanks

  • Error message when opening a shared workbook with Excel 2007

    Hello,
    We would like to share a workbook outside BW (by saving into a serveur).Since we use Excel 2007, we can't anymore open this workbook.
    We have a message error (see bellow).
    For your information, it was ok with Excel 2003.
    When whe save the workbook in local disk and then copy from local disk
    to a serveur, it's ok.
    We use SAPGUI 7.10 support package 8, patch 1 Revision 1443 & BI 7.0.
    Best regards
    Nicolas Triqnuand

    hey Nicolas,
    first of all, your error message is in French... not too many people out there will be able to understand. Eventhough I do understand French, it doesn't make much sense to me... BUT... in Excel2007 all macro's are by default disabled. When you enable them (you should get a "Security Warning" right under "the Ribbon"), your BI stuff should work again.
    Just gave it a try, and it runs smoothly over here.

  • Error - using MS Excel 2007

    Hi All,
    Very recently I have upgraded my system to MS Excel 2007 from MS Excel 2003. Now when I try to refresh a workbook the system throws an error message saying " Run time error '13' - Type mismatch ". And then gets disconnected from the BW system.
    Please help.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Surjit,
    Hi,
    See SAP Note 1040856 - Business Explorer 3.X on Windows Vista / Excel
    2007 below:
    The *Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)3 programs are not yet released for
    Windows Vista, that means, BEx Query Designer (SAP BW 3.x),*BEx Analyzer

    Scheduler (SAP BW 3.x)* and BEx Browser (SAP BW 3.x) are not released.

    Reason and Prerequisites
    We are currently evaluating the usage. Tests have shown that the productive
    use of Business Explorer cannot be supported fully at the moment.
    Due to changes in the Microsoft Windows and Office environment, problems may
    occur when displaying Business Explorer programs (SAP BW 3.x).
    Solution
    Microsoft Vista and Excel 2007 will be supported officially as of the next
    BW 3.5 Frontend patch. These patches should be available by the end of
    September 2007.
    - BW 3.5 for SAP GUI 6.40: Frontend Patch 13 (see Note 1073426)
    - BW 3.5 for SAP GUI 7.10: Frontend Patch 2 (see Note 1006943)
    Known problems:
    - Microsoft Vista and BEx Query Designer: See Notes 1050174, 1039191,
    1013139 and 1050174.
    - Microsoft Excel 2007, Vista and BEx Analyzer: see Notes 1045244,
    1052761 and 1054250.
    - Excel 2007 and BW precalculation servers: You cannot use Microsoft

    Hi Guys,
    How did you solve the problem, as I am facing
    the same issue with 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    in an existing custom BSP application while converting the string to a XLSX file.
    FM 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    was working fine with XLS format but for XLSX format(Microsoft excel 2007) I am
    not able to open the file.
    I have tried with the MIMETYPE “application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet”
    but was not successful.
    Can you guys
    toss some light on this please!!!

  • Excel 2007 Formatting Issues When Making PDF

    Running Excel 2007 on XP Pro. When I make a pdf file from an existing Excel file in Excel 2007 (originally created in Excel 2000), a lot of the formatting changes. Cells that were aligned to the center are now aligned to the top or bottom with no rhyme or reason.
    I would hate to have to go through and fix all the alignment problems in Excel 2007.
    Any suggestions or has anybody else had this problem?

    Not so much Excel (or, at least not so much that I remember) but I've read a
    LOT of messages about problems with Word'07
    You might want to check and make sure you have all MS Office updates installed, to fix any known bugs... plus make sure your version of Acrobat is fully up to date

  • Error when using BeX Analyzer 7.0 with Excel 2007

    When i try to execute a query in BeX analyzer 7.0 and my microsoft excel version is 2007, there will always have a fatal error showing. However, when i use the Bex Analyzer 3.5 , i could execute the query.
    Anyway to solve this problem?

    You need to do the following
    Identify the SAP GUI version you're using, 6.40 or 7.10, and the patch level.
    Identify the BW or BI Add-on and patch level of it.
    From there, check to see if the versions you have actually support BI 7.0 and Excel 2007.  Reliable Excel 2007 support requires failry current patch levels of both the SAP GUI and the corresponding BW/BW Add-ons.. 
    Do you have access to a PC that has a more recent version of the SAP GUI and BW/ BI Add-on?  If so, try using that PC and see if you still have the problem.
