Excel Add-In Drill Switch

Hi, Has anyone figured out how to switch the drill down order in the essbase exel add-in? I would like to drill into a hierarchy but have the parent above the child. Normal method Child 1 Child 2 Parent I would like to have this Parent Child 1 Child 2 Thanks for your help!

Member Select shows them parent-first. I realise this is not the same as drilling down directly in the spreadsheet, but sometimes it might be a work-around. Drill down in Member select then click, shift-click to choose the entire range you want. Parents will be first.

Studio Drill-Through Works in Excel Add-In but not Smart View

So I have a drill-through defined that works fine in the Excel Add-In. But, when I try to drill on the same intersection in Smart View, I get "No drill-through reports found at this location." I used the same member combinations for both, so I know the intersection is correct. Am I missing something simple?
-Brian

There are some limitations on drill through:
These are two ports >>transport.port and server.httpPort.used to communicate with Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in and Hyperion Smart View.
In Hyperion Smart View, drill-through will not work properly. You must refresh the port number stored in the cube by following the instructions in "Updating Cube Linkage" See the Essbase Studio Online Help or Essbase Studio User's Guide.
Change the HTTP Port Number:
If you add an entry for the server.httpPort property in the server.properties file to change it from the default setting of 9080, the following is the state of drill-through connectivity on cubes built prior to the port adjustment.
Note: Cubes built after the port adjustment will work properly. In Smart View, drill-through will work properly.
PS:
With shared connections, Smart View always connects first with the EPM Workspace Web application to authenticate the user and then connects to each provider using the EPM SSO token. With private connections, SmartView authenticates with the provider

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..

Can we retrieve Data of Single Dimension in multiplecolumns in Excel Add-in

Hi All,
I have strange requirement of having single dimension in two columns while retrieving data from essbase using Excel Add-In.
Logically I feel it is not possible however we are looking if there is any possibilty of work arround for this requirement.
Whenevr i am trying to retrieve data using a macro on a single column we are able to successfully do it. But in case of multiple columns we are unable to do it.Do let us know if there is any work arround or alternative method to handle this requirement.
Regards,
Krishna

Not completely sure what you mean by "single dimension in two columns". Normally this request comes down to wanting to show multiple levels from a dimension, e.g...
_______________"Sales"
"100" "100-10" 12345
"100" "100-20" 34567...which is definitely not possible.
If you just mean data like this (with multiple columns from the same dimension)...
________"100-10" "100-20"
"Sales" 12345 34567...then that should work fine.
If you could post a sample of what you'd like to see, it would be easier to answer.

Hello Gurus
I am getting error Error 109 : MaxL api instance is not Active while expanding essbase server in EAS console.
I am using EPM 11.1.2.1 on Windows server 2008 x64 with MS Office 2007 x32
EAS was working properly before installing Excel Add-in,
What i did is
1. I first installed excel add-in and when I clicked on connect Log-in screen didn't appears.
2. Then I reinstalled excel add-in and it started working properly and EAS was also working fine.
3. But after restarting VM, EAS is not working, it is giving error like "Error 109 : MaxL api instance is not Active"
4. I also searched on OTN for EAS issue and checked following environment variables
ESSBASEPATH : C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\ExcelAddin

5. And also tried reinstalling EAS
Any help will be highly appreciated.

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.

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.

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 Dallas, TX

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.

BPC for excel Add-in Conflict

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if there any known excel add-ins that conflict with BPC for Excel (v7) and how the conflicts manifest themselves.
I am currently specifically interested in conflicts with SAP BW BEx Analyser but would be interested in any others also.
Would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.
Many thanks

Usually, Crashing means excel will show crashing error message and restart it.
Excel will just return excel error message. NOT BPC or 3rd Party ADD_IN error message because it happened at the EXCEL while it is processing request from BPC addin and other 3rd partty Addin. (Of course BEX is SAP product. that's why BPC NW support BEX report in 7.5 but still it is not fully integrated with MS.)
Sometimes it happens when retriving data from BPC or sending data. As you know those are critical functionality of BPC.
Again, it depends on the addin but based on my experience, Hyperion Addin and BEX addin had a problem when it runs together with BPC addin. some simple addin might not have any issue but still recommendation is not using 3rd party addin because we don't know where the error comes.
Thank you.
James Lim.

Excel add in

the add in is excel add in and smart view planning provider and smart view essbase provider

Smart view you can open forms and enter data into the form.
Excel addin does not open forms.

Smart View 'Free-Form' vs Excel Add-In

The following Sample.Basic retrieve is valid in the Excel Add-In:
Actual
100-10
Jan
New York
1234
Connecticut
5678
It will retrieve in Smart View, but always converts immediately to this:
Actual
100-10
Jan
New York
1234
Connecticut
5678
Note that the Scenario and Product members have jumped over to 'stack' on the Year member.
I can't find any way to stop this happening. The context is converting some legacy Add-In reports. Users don't want to change the layout at all, if avoidable.

GlennS_3 wrote:
Frankly for me, the issue you have is minor, but I don't know your users
Hi Glenn, to respond (seriously) to this point - yes, it's not really a disaster. But there are ten years' of accumulated Add-In reports at this client, some formatted carefully for presentation.
One nasty real example:
Say those POV/page members for Scenario and Product are fed from formulas; cell references to a master sheet. And that those rows are hidden for display purposes.
Now the user starts using Smart View instead of the Add-In. The first time she refreshes, everything looks good, so she thinks "No changes necessary for this one - next!".
But Smart View has - unseen - pasted the current literal values for Scenario and Product into all the other columns on the report (none of the formula options seem to affect this).
The next time the user runs it, updating the master sheet Scenario and Product doesn't have any effect on the retrieve.
It's a shame Smart View feels the need to mess with the layout, since it is clearly capable of interpreting the first format correctly.

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.

I click the Match Data button in the ribbon in step 21. According to the tutorial the Match Data dialog window should look like this:
However, the Match Data dialog window I have looks like this:
Am I doing something wrong? Or am using a different version of the Master Data Excel Add-in?
I use SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition version 11.0.3000. Master Data Excel Add-in 11.0.2100. Excel 2010. Both Master Data Services and Data Quality Services are installed. Integration between those is configured. I have a full Master Data ribbon containing
the Data Quality buttons, which indicates DQS integration is configured.

Hi Arjen,
I seem to be having the same issue i.e the Match
Data dialog window that I have looks like the one you show
I am using:
SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) MDS Add-In For Excel:
11.0.3393.0

SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3128.0 (X64)
Don't know if you got anyhere with the issue recently.?
I'll keep digging.
