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.

  • Essbase Excel Add-In Issue

    We have a issue in one users' system where the essbase add-in vanishes each time we close the excel. We have to again browse the .xll files to bring the Essbase menu appear in Excel.
    Have any one come across this issue before? Is tehre any permanent soln for this. Reinstalling the client didn't work.

    I'm going to guess that the user does not have admin rights to the machine and the Arborpart and path (and depending on the version ESSBASEPATH) statements did not get saved as environment variables. Either that or there was an old install that had them pointing somehere else in the path statement so it is looking there for it.

  • SUPPORT For Essbase Excel Add in

    Good morning
    When is the support for the old add in being stopped?
    Does this mean all future versions will only come with Smart View?

    To your second question, yes, 11.1.2.3 and onward will have Smart View only.  See Doc ID 1466700.1
    I make this point every time the question comes up, but as Santy suggests, the key point is "support duration".  I have heard the (incorrect) statement  "The Classic Add-In won't be supported from January 1st 2013" too many times... ...existing versions 11.1.2.2 and earlier continue to be supported under normal lifetime support policy.  Although I can't actually remember raising a support ticket in for an Excel Add-In issue and I've been using it for nearly 15 years!
    EDIT - crossed over with Santy

  • 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,

    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?

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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, 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.

  • 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.

    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.  [Personal Information Removed]

  • 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.
