Excel Add-in Dbl Click issue

I have a fresh install of windows & office. I installed 9.3.0 client. I restarted the computer and did the following
1. Opened Excel and connect to the server.
2. Did Retieve
3. Double click on any member BANG!! Closes the whole excel

Dear all
Even i have been facing with similar probs in recent times.,
Something of this sort happens.
1. start essbase server or essbase server already running
2. open Excel<may it be 2003 or 2007>
3. Go to Addins, connect to the server, give id passwd, the list of applns and related databases listed.
4. select a database and say OK !
5. Data/combination of dimensions may/may not be retrieved.
6. When you try to drill down for more granular information using double click, excel closes !
if the symptoms of the problem look like this., the below mentioned case might work. i have kept a kinda watch on the excel and think possibly this is one of the reasons causing the problem.
When the server is running and earlier, while using the excel addin,
had the application or essbase server to which you have connected to excel addin restarted or stoped?
while working on my local system, i have done this unknowingly, stopping the application or shutting the server and then realising that excel addin is still open with connection not being terminated.,
And, after doing this, next time when i try to open excel addin, connect and retrieve data, the above mentioned happens and excel closes.
So, to conclude, one of the possible reasons i feel,causing the problem might be, to stop or restart the application when the excel addin has opened a connection and retrieved the data for that specific appln/database.
After doing this, for addin to work again, i uninstalled and installed excel, configure and add addins again., it worked., one more rude way, rather than installing the excel again, which i followed once is to restore the system to earlier restore point<with lot of if's of course>

Excell Add - In : Task Pane with reports doesn't open

Dears,
I can login without probs into the excell Add-IN, but clicking the view presentation catalog doesn't open the related pane.
Anyone an idea?!

Could be the user does not have the right privileges set up.
Try creating the following role in the db and assign it to your user:
XMLP_ANALYZER_EXCEL
Then in publisher admin make sure that security config->security model = oracle database

Issue with double click zoom on Essbase Excel Add-in

Several of my users have been experiencing a problem recently when the do a double click zoom in or zoom out in Excel Add-in 7.1.3. It will start clocking (icon flashes as well as the cells while the clocking is occuring) and the only way to break out of it is to hit escape. Sometimes the clocking will only last a minute but, depending on the number of members that you can drill down into, can last several minutes at which point the users end up just escaping out. This doesn't happen with all templates or with all users. Zooming in and zooming out using the menu works fine. This only occurs with double click zooming (which to the users is much quicker and they prefer not using the menu).
This is Excel Add-in 7.1.3 on Office 2007 which I realize is not certified compatible but we have not had this issue until the last few weeks.
Anyone else having this issue? Ideas?

sometimes you dont find any excel sheets open but there will be a process allocated to it and running ..you can see this in the task manager..
so go to task manager and try deleting all the process related to excel.
Now after deleting all the processes you find NO excel sheets open..
Try viewing the required excel sheet now..
hope it works now..

Issue with Excel add in

Hi Experts,
Some of the users receive the following error message while attempting to retrieve data on a previously-working query in essbase excel add in:
"Essbase has encountered an internal Excel error. Your sheet will not be overwritten and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit Excel and restart in order to clear up the problem"
Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Essbase client and also tried with essbase add in version 9.3.1.3, but nothing worked.
Please let us know your thoughts on the below issue.
Thanks,
Raja

I, too, would recommend rebuilding the workbook.. Excel workbooks can get some funny behaviors, particularly if they contain VBA code. VBA in Excel stays 'semi-compiled' and never really clears itself out and a bunch of phantom references remain (and are completely hidden). I have seen some very strange behavior cleaned up by rebuilding the workbook..
My old friend, Excel MVP Rob Bovey, has a utility specifically built to rebuild workbooks at http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/Utilities.htm.

Issue while performing pivot in Essbase Excel Add in

Hi,
I'm faced with a peculiar issue by which I'm unable to pivot data from excel add-in.
I've verified that the Formula Preservation is disabled. Yet, i get the error 'Cannot pivot while in Formula Preservation Mode'.
I've tried reinstalling many times but the issue persists. Whats wierder is that anything i change in options gets undone once i perform a retrieve. Example, If i select 'Suppress #Missing Rows' option and retrieve any data, when i check back the options, it is deselected. Seems like the options are carried forward(if thats possible)?
Thanks,
Rahul.

do you have this issue with any workbook you are connecting or is it only with a specific workbook template that you are using?

Excel Add-in issue!

Hi,
we are using essbase 7.x and excel 2003. The issue is that when we open the excel add-in with the
application, it going to sheet2 instead of sheet1 by default. and moreover we are trying to have only 3 sheets when we open excel. It is displaying 15 sheets.
Is there any setting that needs to be taken care as part of Excel for Essbase?
Kindly help me out in this regard
Thanks

The 15 sheet issue can potentially be caused by an excel option, unrelated to essbase.
To change the setting, go to the Tools/Options menu. On the Options dialog select the General tab and you should see a setting for "Sheets in new workbook" about half-way down. The default is 3, but if this were changed to 15, new workbooks would always begin with 15 tabs.
As for the Sheet2 default, once a workbook is saved, the default tab is the tab that was active when the workbook is saved.
However, macros can always cause either of the two conditions above to be reset/modified. If that is happening, find the offending application and hit it with a hammer. I'm kidding here, of course -- it needs a screw driver.

Excel Add-in Retrieve issue

Gurus,
I have a user SAMSHRE who was able to do retrieve in Excel add in, however, suddenly, the members is not being able to do retrieve using Excel add-in. Is there anything I need to look at to solve this issue.
Thanks

Hi,
To solve the issue, you have to check first the security. Try to connect to Essbase from his computer using another user.
If it works you have to check the security configuration. So, you have to check the user roles and the security filters.
If it doesn't work, try to close all Excel, and disable/enable the add-in of his computer.

Essbase Excel Add in not working

Hi All,
I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 version in windows 2008 server(64 bit system)
Server is up and running fine.!
I have installed Excel addin, then i got one issue here. When i opened excel, Smartview is displayed on the top but Essbase is not displayed. I tried so many ways, but no use.
give me some suggestions regarding to solve this issue..!
Thanks,
mady
Edited by: mady on Nov 27, 2012 11:46 AM

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.

ALM Excel Add in error

Product – ALM
OS – Windows 7
MS Office version – 2007
I have ALM -excel add in installed in my MS excel. When I click on ‘export to ALM’, an error comes up – “compile error in hidden module:CTDServer”
I went into the VB editor and found that the OTA COM Library is missing. I tried re-installing the add in and my MS office, but in vain. It seems like the library is getting installed in a different location in XP and in win7. Has anyone installed the add in successfully on a Win 7 machine ? IS there any compatibility issue with Win 7 and MS office 2007 and ALM ?
Also, i dont have admin rights on my machine.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

This is rather easy to fix - You may need admin privledges but I dont think do. Are you familiar with opening up the VBCODE behind MS Excel (Alt + F11)? We need to make a change there (Refrences change to the TDADDIN) and that will resolve your issue. I am a QC Admin for a extraordinarily large company with thousands of QC users spread across the globe so I see almost every error imaginable on every type of OS, version of Excel, Windows, you name it and this is a common one but one of the easier ones to fix.

However, the Match Data dialog window I have looks like this:

How to install 3 Excel Add-Ins in one deployment ?

I have 3 excel add-ins which work in conjunction with each other. I want the user to install all 3 at the same time, from one install package. How to do that?
I am following the steps in "Deploying an Office Solution by Using Windows Installer".
This is a single user install.
Just guessing, I have created a visual studio solution containing the 3 add-in projects as "existing projects". And the 4th project in this solution is a "setup and deployment" project type. InstallShield Limited Edition Project.
I am not clear if there should be a different destination folder for the .vsto and .dll.manifest files for each add-in.
thanks,

Hi Steve Richter,
Here is a MSDN article about how to Deploy Multiple Office Solutions in a Single ClickOnce Installer.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd465290(v=vs.100).aspx
The article will tell you the following three points.
Creating two Office solutions to deploy, and one Office solution as the installer project.
Modifying the application manifest of the installer project to install two Office solutions.
Re-signing the application and deployment manifests.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

Remove Excel add-in toolbar in XL 2007

How can I remove Excel add-in toolbar in Excel 2007, without uninstalling Essbase client ?
I managed to remove the menu entries, but not the toolbar in the add-in ribon.
Is XL add-in supported on XL 2007 ?
Regards
(Release 9.3.1)
Edited by: user643304 on 26 sept. 2008 07:11

Depending on your version, it is not supported (7.1.6 and above are supported, IIRC). They work with relatively minor issues, however (a search of Excel 2007 in this forum will tell you more than I can quickly summarize).
To remove the customer toolbar, just right click on any of the toolbar's controls -- one of the options should be to delete the customer toolbar. Easy, but not obvious.

Excel Add-In with WorkbookOpen event causes error in Word

EDIT: New information
I have narrowed the problem to a specific code. Following code produces the error message (see below in the original part):
public partial class ThisAddIn
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
void Application_WorkbookOpen(Excel.Workbook Wb)
int i = 0;
private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
#region VSTO generated code
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InternalStartup()
this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
#endregion
It does not matter whether I unregister the WorkBookOpen event in the ThisAddIn_Shutdown method or not. Whenever this piece of code is present Word gives me the error.
It seems to be a bug in Excel. Can anyone test and confirm my assumption? Does anyone know a workaround?
ORIGINAL
I have a problem with my Excel add-in (VSTO) in a very specific situation. For some reason I can't debug the add-in when it is happening.
In Word it is possible to insert and edit OLE objects. In this specific situation a user wants to insert and edit an Excel sheet (INSERT -> Table -> Excel Spreadsheet).
Let's say that Excel is not running. In an ideal world the Excel process is started by Word when the user edits the spreadsheet. The Excel process is terminated when the Word document is closed. This works fine, if my Excel add-in is deactivated.
If the Excel add-in is activated the user cannot edit the spreadsheet in Word. An error with following message is shown within Word: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is
not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed". Also the Excel process which was started by Word is not terminated when closing the document or exiting Word. Excel started by the user does not give
any error message. No dialog is opened. The add-in works fine. So there must be an error with the Excel add-in when Excel is started by Word.
I can reproduce the error with and without an attached debugger (Visual Studio). But for some reason there is no exception caught by Visual Studio while the error is happening.
Can anyone help me how to investigate on that error?
Yavuz

Hi Yavuz,
Based on my investigatiton, when the Excel doesn't start up by user the add-in would shut down immediately. So when the workbook open event was fired the callback already be relreased.
As a workaround, we can use application.UserControl to detect whether the Excel applicaiton was started by user. And here is the code for your reference:
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
if(Application.UserControl)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
Please let me know whether it works for you.

Excel Add-in connections not refreshed

I am using Essbase 9.3.1.4. I have created a new planning application and set up the security / provisioning in shared services and syncronized to EAS. The security for the user works correctly in the planning application but when we try to connect via the Excel Add-in, the new planning application does not appear on list of available applications/database in the connection box. It does list existing planning applications available to the user, but not the new one. Does anyone know in v9.3.1.4 what file the Essbase add-in connection box is reading to present the available application/databases to the user for selection? For some reason it seems this file is either not being updated or it is ready an old version of the file. We have the same issue when using SmartView ad-hoc, any non-admin userid cannot access this new application. SmartView Planning does work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

A quick fix would be to create a shortcut to ESSEXCLN.XLL in the Excel startup folder (varies by install, usually c:\program files\microsoft office\office\xlstart\)Jeff McAhren<br>Dallas, TX
