Excel Add-In Toolbar

How does one get & install the Excel Add-In Tool bar. It gives you 6-7 icons embedded in a tool bar to give you quick access to Essbase Excel Add-In functions. Thanks.

In Excel, choose File / Open and browse to the \Hyperion\Essbase\client\Sample directory (it should have been created by the install). There is a file called esstoolb.xls.When you open it, Excel will warn you that there are macros in the workbook - be sure to enable them. The toolbar will appear in Excel and you should be good.Regards,Jade-----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior BI ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • 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)

    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.

  • 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.

  • How can I separate the "Icons and Text" of the browser control buttons (Back, Forward, etc.) from the Icons on the Add-on toolbar?

    At home, this is not an issue. I don't know why it's different here at work--same installation, same settings (as far as I can tell).
    Windows Vista
    Firefox 7.0.1
    Status-4-Evar installed to turn add-on bar into a status bar
    I have a NoScript add-on icon in the corner, which works fine. If I add a GreaseMonkey icon from the Customize menu, the "Icon and Text" appears for that icon, like the Icon and Text from the browser controls (Home, stop, etc). Other add-on icons also show Icon and Text (S4E, for instance). NoScript is the only one I've found so far which collapses down to just an Icon.
    This leads to the status (add-on) bar having a much larger height than I like. Essentially what I want is for only the Icon to appear in the Status bar (Add-on toolbar), while keeping Icons and Text in the Browser controls. My current workaround is simply removing the other add-on icons from the status (add-on) toolbar, but that takes away the ease of toggling and setting options.
    Please tell me if I can provide you with anything else, and thanks for your help.
    Edit: I've got some screenshots to show what I mean.
    [http://i41.tinypic.com/ftek9s.jpg desired behavior]
    [http://i43.tinypic.com/1z6a4h3.jpg problem when icon is added]

    Surely there must be some UserChrome.css that will solve this problem. Something like this:
    /* Remove text titles for icons in add-on bar */
    addonbar .button-text {
    visibility: collapse !important;
    Unfortunately that does not work. I probably have the button text item name wrong (there is a pound sign before addonbar but it doesn't show in this posting).

    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

  • Missing "Add-ons" toolbar in Adobe Reader X

    In Adobe Reader 8.1.1 I implemented buttons in the "Add-ons" toolbar with Javascript.
    This toolbar was activated by right-mouse click in the standard-toolbar and checking on "Zusatzprogramme"
    (i don't know the english term). The internal name of the toolbar is "JSAppToolbar.
    JavaScript:
       app.addToolButton({
       cName:     "DirektDruck",
       cExec:     "pp = event.target.getPrintParams();" +
                  "fv = pp.constants.flagValues;" +
                  "pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;" +
                  "pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;" +
                  "pp.flags |= fv.supressCenter;" +
                  "pp.flags &= ~fv.suppressRotate;" +
                  "pp.flags &= ~fv.setPageSize;" +
                  "pp.printerName = "+ "'" + global.vvwpriname +"';" +
                  "event.target.print(pp);",
       cEnable:   "event.rc = (event.target != null);",
       cTooltext: "Direktdruck",
       cLabel:    "Direktdruck",
       nPos:      0});
    In Adobe Reader X the "Add-ons" toolbar seems to be disappeared.
    When viewing an PDF-Dokument with Adobe Reader X by accidently i saw the tools-panel "Werkezeuge" (called tools in the english version). There i found my buttons created by JAVASCRIPT. Viewing another PDF-Dokument the tools-panel doesn't appear.
       Here the panel "Werkzeuge" (Tools) appears:
       Here the panel "Werkzeuge" (Tools) is not displayed:
    Questions:
    1. Where can I define the appearance of the panel "Werkzeuge" (Tools).
    2: I want to place my own buttons (with javascript) in a toolbar, because our users are not amused to click through menus. The solution in older Acrobat Reader Versions was perfect !! How can i achieve this requirement.

    Hi Bernd,
       Thank you for your suggestion... unfortunately no effect! I have tried pressing F8 (I made sure the focus was on the plugin by clicking on it). The bar does not appear. So I think either:
    * F8 only toggles the bar in the separate Reader program, not the plugin;
    or
    * Because I removed the toolbar by deselecting each "sub-bar" separately with the mouse, I'm toggling nothing (bar is invisible).
       Is there any other thing I could try?
    Best regards,
    Lee

  • 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.

    the control doesnt come with the toolbar. in ABAP they are implemented using the methods in the dll. similarly you have to create the toolbar for your webapp as well.

  • 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.

    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<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,

    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.

  • Excel add in

    im confused about all the hyperion add in does all of them open and edit in the data forums ?
    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.

  • 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.
