Excel 2013 PowerMaps: Can't initiate directx.

I'm trying to insert a powermap into a powerview. I'm using my desktop. Upon clicking insert, I get the error indicating that directx can't initiate. I have confirmed that my DDI version is 10.1. Please advise.
Thank you.

  • Passworded Excel 97-2003 file will not open in excel 2013

    I can not open a file that I have saved as a passworded 97-2003 excel file using excel 2013.  When opening the file, it will ask for the password, I put in the password in, and excel freezes and then has to clkose because it will not open the file. 
    The file is NOT corrupt and will open on my computer with Office2007.  I can actually create a passworded file with excel 2013 but save it as a 97-2003 version, but when I try to open that file it will not open either? 
    Please explain to me how I am suppose to get the information off my 97-2003 file on this excel 2013 version?????? 
    AGAIN the file is not corrupt and I don't want to open my file with my 2007 version machine, I want this passworded 97-2003 file to open with my excel 2013 machine!!!!!!! 
    Please send me a fix to this, and I've check the forum.  None of the work around options work.  NONE, I've checked them all.
    This only appears to be a problem with a passworded 97-2003 file.  If it's not passworded it opens.

    Hi,
    I have not been able to reproduce as I am able to open password protected .XLS Binary Format Files with Excel 2013. Can you provide more information?
    Also, I don't believe this is a SharePoint Question?

  • In Excel 2013, can you create a powerview connected to a SQL server and then upload this to Sharepoint to 2013?

    Creating a powerview in sharepoint browser can be tedious, but it is a lot more convenient in the desktop Excel 2013. 
    However, when you upload the excel document (where data source is SQL server) to sharepoint, there are two problems:
    1. The powerview is shown as a worksheet in the excel file in sharepoint
    2. You dont get the same features as a powerview - most importantly Export to PowerPoint.
    Has anyone come across this?  Does this mean if you want to create powerview which are to be shown in full screen and also to be exported to powerpoint must always be directly created in Sharepoint browser?

    Hi,
    There is no method to get around this. According
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/power-view-explore-visualize-and-present-your-data-HA102835634.aspx,
    Both versions of Power View need Silverlight installed on the machine.
    You can’t open a Power View RDLX file in Excel, or open an Excel XLSX file with Power View sheets in Power View in SharePoint. You also can’t copy charts or other visualizations from the RDLX file into the Excel workbook.
    You can save Excel XLSX files with Power View sheets to SharePoint Server, either on premises or in Office 365, and open those files in SharePoint. Read more about
    Power View in Excel in SharePoint Server 2013 or in SharePoint Online in Office 365.
    In addition, you can try to submit the suggestions from the following link:

  • What is the maximum file size for CSV that Excel can open ? (Excel 2013 64bit)

    Hello,
    Before anyone jumps in, I am not talking about the maximum worksheet size of 1048576 rows by 16384 columns.
    I have  client whom has a 1.5 Gb CSV file, 1.9, 2.6, 5, 17 and 89 Gb file (Huge).
    If I open the 1.5 Gb, the file opens (After waiting 5 minutes) and then a warning pops up that only the first 1048576 rows have loaded. That is fair enough.
    If I try and open any of the others, Excel comes up to a blank worksheet. No errors. It just seems to ignore the file I tried to open. This happens from within Excel (File - open) or from double clicking the file in explorer.
    Excel goes to this blank page almost imeadiatly. It does not even try to open the file.
    If I try with Ms Access, I get a size warning and it refuses to load the file. (At least I get a warning)
    I would have expected Excel to load at least the first 1048576 rows  (If that is what there are in the file), and give an error.
    The computer is more than capable (Xeon processors, 16 Gb ram, SSD hard disks top of the line HP Z820 power workstation).
    With the 1.5 Gb file loaded to 1048576 rows, it uses 15% ram/pagefile. CPU's hit about 5%.
    I have confirmed it is Win 7 64bit, Excel 64bit. I am fairly confident we are over the file size but without an error message, I don't know what to tell my client whom is looking to me for answers.
    I have already discussed that the 89gb file in Excel is unreasonable and they are looking at a stat's package but I need an answer on these smaller files.
    Anyone got any ides ?

    Hi,
    The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
    workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
    1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

  • Can you share a PowerPivot Model within Excel 2013?

    Hi,
    Can you share a PowerPivot Model within Excel 2013?
    Is it essential that you have either SharePoint or Power BI subscription to share a PowerPivot Model created within Excel 2013?
    Kind Regards,
    Kieran.
    Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

    I am afraid you need SharePoint at some point for this scenario
    what SharePoint basically does it extracts the datamodel, hosts it on an interanl SSAS Tabular Server and redirects users connections that are initially connecting to the workbook to the SSAS Tabular Server
    so the model needs to be hosted somewhere - which is SharePoint with SSAS integration in this scenario
    SharePoint online does all this automatically for you
    an other option would be to host the model directly on a SSAS Tabular Server and let users connect to the SSAS instance instead of the Power Pivot model - Note that you can simply import your Power Pivot Model to SSAS

  • Can't save as in Excel 2013

    After working in an existing file in Excel 2013 once in a while a user can't save as a new name. He goes on File and Save as....he can put a new name but when he clicks on Save it does nothing.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I suppose this issue may be caused by the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), please try to turn off the "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“ setting.
    Click the File tab, and then click Options.
    Click Advanced, scroll down to the General section, and then clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the General area.
    Click OK.
    If this issue still exists, as I have mentioned above, it might be caused by the user profile corrupted. Do you mind creating a new user account/profile to test? It'll help us narrow down this issue whether it is due to Excel or user profile.

  • On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals.

    On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals. It went crash.

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Do you mind telling us the Excel version number? Like 15.0.XXXX.1000
    Would you like to collect the Event Log and App Crash dump file to do further troubleshooting?
    As far as I know, if Excel crashes when using Analysis ToolPack add-ins, it usually causes by the >>Faulting module name: mso.dll<<, Please try the following method and check if it is helpful:
    1.Copy/paste the Mso.dll from another PC.
    2.Click "Start" and "Computer."
    3.Double-click "C: Drive," "Windows" and "System32." The System32 folder opens.
    4.Drag the Mso.dll file on your desktop into the System32 folder.
    5.Click "Start," type "cmd" into the search field and press "Enter" to open the Command Prompt.
    6.Type "regsvr32 mso.dll" (without the quotation marks) into the Command Prompt and press "Enter."
    7.Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.
    Then, if the Faulting module name is not MSO.Dll, you also can upload(Or send to us via email
    [email protected])  the Event Log/App Crash dump file. We'd like to do further troubleshooting.

  • Why can't I open .csv files in Excel 2013?

    We purchased (20) new machines all with Office 2013 (OEM) version.  We can no longer open .csv files with Excel 2013.  When we go to a machine with Office 2010 it opens perfectly.  The issue is with some change to Excel.  I see a lot
    of complaints on the internet about this issue.  Since we have OEM versions of Office, I am not entitled to a downgrade to 2010.  I need to know what Microsoft is doing to fix this issue, or need them to grant us rights to downgrade. 

    Hi,
    In regarding the issue, I had tested in Excel 2013 of my PC. It seems worked fine. Thus, I suggest you try to do the following methods to test.
    1. Import the CSV file into Excel 2013. Click Data tab>From Text
    http://superuser.com/questions/407082/easiest-way-to-open-csv-with-commas-in-excel
    2. Did you get en error message "SYLK: File format is not valid" when you open CSV file?
    If it was, please try to follow the link to fix the issue:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323626
    3. Please try copy one of the CSV file to notepad and save it as a new name to test.
    4. You'd better upgrade the lastest patches.

  • Can BPC Release 7.5.112.07 run on MicroSoft Excel 2013 (MS Office 365)?

    Hi BPC Community,
    Can BPC Release 7.5.112.07 run on MicroSoft Excel 2013? We are currently running BPC on Excel 2010. There's a new feature in Office 365, that when we bring up a new BPC report, Excel will open up essentially a new Excel application and the BPC add-in is not replicated in the new Excel application.
    Our IT team mentioned updating registries to prevent a new Excel app for generating, but they said that this approach may revert (erase the reg update) once a new software update is done.
    Thanks. Barry

    Hi Barry,
    Microsoft Office 2013 is supported in BPC 10 sp13 and EPM Add-in sp14, support for BPC 7.5 will end on march 2016 so I don't think they will support it in 7.5 version also in future.
    Forgot to add, same for office 365 not supported in 7.5 but only in 10 version with epm sp18 see please  1999305 - Microsoft Office 365 users are unable to install SAP EPM Add-in

  • How can I download MS Excel 2013 onto my iMac?

    I'm a college student taking a MS Excel 2013 Specialist class. I tried to download Excel 2013 from the MS 365 subscription that was provided with my workbook, but I have learned that I cannot download it onto my iMac.  For some reason it's not available for a Mac???  Is there a workaround for this?  I was told by a Microsoft technician that if I had a Windows License I could then "boot the computer to bootcamp to use the Windows environment ."  Is that possible?  If so, will it hurt or be detrimental in any way to my iMac?

    1. Excel 2013 is a Windows product. You may be able to use Excel 2011 instead.
    2. Yes, that's possible.
    3. Setting Boot Camp up will require partitioning the internal drive. Back your computer up first.

  • Power Map in Excel 2013 (Office 2013 Professional Plus) will not show up in ribbon

     I have tried literally everything and nothing works.
    I can download the preview version of the Powermap addin and it works.
    But by default the add-in will not show up in the ribbon.
    I uninstalled , reinstalled, re-ran SP1 of office 2013. double checked the load behaviour,
    ran a repair.. nothing works.
    Powerview displays fine, Bing Maps... just not Power Map

    Hi Kenneth,
    Since you are using Office 2013 Professional Plus, you can only use Power Map Preview for Excel 2013, which is an unsupported add-in. See:

  • Excel 2013 connect to a cube, and Power View concatenate the column name by default

    Hi Guys,
    Currently, we met a problem with excel services to connect to a cube, when we develope a Excel 2013 Powerview report, the data model column name is concatenate into terrible name by default. e.g. Dim TimeDate Date, Dim TimeTime HierachyYear -Month.
    But when start up the data model with Powerpivot, everything gone well. We knew that it can be manual update the name as workaround, but we need to do it every time we create a new powerview with the data model.
    Is that any other solution we can do with?
    Please help.

  • Excel 2013 Data From Web not working with SharePoint 2013?

    In Excel 2013, on the ribbon select the 'Data' tab and 'From Web' to import data from a web page. Navigate to a SharePoint 2013 site with a table on the home page and you will not see the table import arrow on the table. With SharePoint 2010 you would have.
    Any suggestions on a workaround/fix?
    One thing to note, in SharePoint 2013 be sure to disable the Minimum Download Strategy feature on the site or you will get script errors in the New Web Query dialog.
    Also, I realize this may belong in an Office/Excel forum so I have posted it there also.
    Thanks, Fintan

    Hi Fintan ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the Excel table import arrow   disappears  in the  SharePoint 2013 page.
    For your issue , I can reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint 2013 environment. It should be caused by the Excel  Data connection from web page feature cannot identify the page layout  which is
    used by SharePoint 2013 . For a workaround, you export the HTML table using jQuery:

  • Powerpivot 2013 doesn't work on Excel 2013 / Office 365: data model issue

    Hi guys
    I recently upgraded my Office 2010 to Office 365, with Excel 2013. Before installing Office 365 I uninstalled Office 2010. I'm running Windows 8 64 bits.
    I have the Powerpivot 2013 add-in, I can activate it without any issue. However when I click on "manage" on any spreadsheet (including new empty ones) I have an error "We
    couldn't load the Data Model.  This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged.", followed by "PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model".
    I tried to repair the installation to no avail. I tried to launch excel in admin mode, nothing better.
    This issue seems to be shared by some other people on this forum but
    with no satisfactory answer so far.
    I had a SQL server 2012 plugin installed previously which I uninstalled as well, but no change.
    Would you think of something else?
    Thanks
