Excel add in problem

I have an excel add-in problem that seems to be local. When I try to retrieve, it does not show anything. The database is not bad at all because when I log on with my username in a different computer, I get the data upon retrieval. What could be the problem?

When I try to retrieve, it does not show anythingIf really nothing shows up, the multiple EXCEL.EXE as in the previous answer may be a problem.
If you have already set up the retreive sheet and you just do not get any data make sure you don't have the Gloabl option "Navigate without data" set.

Problem: Excel Add-in with Excel 2010

I recently installed the essbase spreadsheet add-in onto Excel 2010 and it worked fine,(previosuly there was 9.3.1 Excel add-in and i removed and installed Excel add-in 11.1.2.2) but after some days it is giving beolw messgae:-
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\hyperion\analyticservices\bin\essexcln.xll' addin. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Has anyone else seen this error, know of a work around or whether a new version is in the works?

This generally happens if your excel gets crashed due to some reason / your system gets force shutdown. As suggested above, you can enable it.
Note: When you get that message to disable, do not click yes.

Essbase Excel Add-In 11.1.2 Connection Problem

I've installed the excel add-in 11.1.2 on my Win7 machine. When I try to connect, the dialog box opens, I can enter the hostname/user/pass and it will give me a list of apps/dbs. I select the one I want and it hangs and eventually returns a Network Error. Any idea what gives? It's connecting at first, but then tells me it can't connect. Thoughts?

In case anyone else runs into something similar, the issue was with the server port settings. If you see something like this, look at the ports.

Error 109 : MaxL api instance is not Active after installing excel add-in

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
ESSLANG : English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
5. And also tried reinstalling EAS
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

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.

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.

Essbase Excel add-in error

We have upgraded to Essbase 6.5.2 and when installing the excel add-in haveencountered the message "R.xls" file cannot be found. Does anyone elseknow anything about this and how to resolve this? The addin works okay,but the users get this message each time they open excel now.JC

This sounds as if your environment variables are not set correctly or something in your registry has gone astray.I had a similar problem once which was actually caused by another VB application which was removing and adding them back in the add-ins but getting the syntax slightly wrong on the essbase add-in xla's (an extra " being created in the registry).Have you tried completely uninstalling the add-in and re-install?

Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel ?

Hey, we are using Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel even though Excel 2010 is not supported by Oracle. Do you know of any other users using it with Excel 2010? Any problems reported?

Looks like it: Re: Hyperion Essbase Excel Addin - Unable to connect
But the OP in that thread never posted what solved his problem, if it was ever solved.

OLAP 10g with Excel 2007 crashing problems

We currently have a 10g database and 10g OLAP toolset. We have a user population split between Windows XP on Excel 2003 and Windows 7 on Excel 2007. We are distributing the Excel Add-In 10.1.2.3.0.2 version, but the Windows 7/Excel 2007 users are having a lot of problems with Excel crashing unless it is the only application that is open (which is understanably frustrating to that user base). They have to go into task manager and kill the excel process (not just the application) or face doing a full reboot. Are there any settings we can change to improve performance on Excel 2007? We hope to do an 11g upgrade later this year, but it won't happen until 2nd half at the earliest due to other contstraints.

First verify if the patch was successfully installed by checking the Xcelsius application version from the Help Menu. It should be 4.2.5.5 or higher.
In addition, that might be behavior due to an Excel add-in affecting the automation between Xcelsius and Excel. You may need to remove any Excel add-ins that you have installed.

Essbase excel add-on error after installing IR Studio.

Hyperion software compatibility issues?
Getting Essbase excel add-on error ("Error 1040007 Cannot find message database") after installing Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1. We are able to consistently reproduce the error on several workstations.
Any ideas?
Thx,
Ernesto

Try installing IR first, followed by the Essbase client. I think that worked for us. I can't recall what our path looked like in that scenario I just remember if we did it in that order things worked fine. I think Support said there is no certain "install order" that truly fixes the problem, that you have to manipluate the path by hand. But I'm pretty sure installing IR first worked in our enviro.
I do not know of a way to install IR Studio without the Essbase components, my understanding from Support is that they changed the product install thinking it was better this way, they learned after the fact it actually causes the problem you experienced. I would imagine they've changed/fixed the install behavior again in post 9.3.1 releases, but haven't heard.

Essbase 7.x Excel Add In Compatibility?

Is Essbase 7.x Excel Add in compatible with Essbase 11? We would like the users to keep the Essbase 7.x Excel add in and only migrate Essbase server to 11.x.
Please advise.

Essbase 11 does not have a separate installable for Excel Add In. I think we have to use the 3GB installable to install just the Excel Add In. This will be a problem if I have to uninstall the old Add In and install the new Add in for 200 users.

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.
