Excel AddIn 2013 build 12.0.2468.0 - is this a bug?

Excel AddIn 2013 64x, build 12.0.2468.0
If open the Excel workbook with connecting to MSSQL and then open the Excel workbook with MDS - data are not extracted from MDS.
Is this a bug?
If open the Excel workbook with connection to the MDS and then open the Excel workbook with connecting to MSSQL - data is retrieved from MDS successfully!
from Moscow with money

Vincent,
I did step 3 (MASTER DATA) both in the same book, and in another separate Excel file
The connection is successful, but import data of entity from MDS Server - no. I click and no there are no errors. And ....no data are requested from the server.
We tried it on different computers.

Unable to read data in Excel 2010/2013 from encrypted Access 2010/2013 database

A customer has an Access database (.accdb), which was encrypted/given a database password in Access 2013. It should be possible to read that data from Excel 2010/2013, but when clicking on Data-->From Access
and the correct path is put in and the correct database password has been entered, Excel just keeps prompting for the database password. This happens with both Excel 2010 and 2013.
The database password supplied is correct as evidenced by opening the database in Access 2013 using the same database password.
A colleague in a separate company has found that a separate .accdb file he has recently encrypted also has the same problem as above, yet a .accdb file encrypted ages ago
is readable from Excel.
How do I get Excel 2010/2013 to read the data from the encrypted .accdb file, please?

Since Access 2010 the encryption algorithm has changed:
Source
Follow the next steps to apply an encryption method that will allow you to (programmatically) connect to the database:
1. Decrypt the database
2. Change the encryption method:
   - In Access Options select 'Client Settings'
   - Scroll down to section 'Advanced'
   - 'Encryption Method': select option 'Use legacy encryption (..'
   - Click 'OK'
3. Encrypt the database
Hope this helps.

How to retrieve sharepoint list data and show it on excel-addin using C#

Hi,
we have a sharepoint list where all students are present. we wanted to get the data from the list and show it via excel addin (VSTO) (something like save,retrieve buutons) . we have some more business logic which need to be performed before the data is retrieved
. once data is shown on excel , user modifies it and update/save the record back to sharepoint.
can you please give some samples and suggest any links to start with development.
Thanks
chaitu

Hi chaituatp,
For this requirement, I would suggest you to get familiar with how to create VSTO applications, and how SharePoint object model works. Here are some sample code about this:

How can I disable excel addin on the Server side?

Hi, is there any way to disable excel addin on the server side?
We want to disable it so that no one can modify or read data in the cube in the production environment, even if he or she had installed the add in. Instead, we provide the Planning data forms as the only interface for end-users to read and write. we do this because the add in is very easy to install and users can read and write data in the cube at their will.
As we designed to keep the security filters simple, it is not a good idea to controll data access through security filters.
so, what i'm asking is how to disable excel addin on the server side?
Thank you for replying.
Edited by: user4592285 on 2012-10-18 上午6:48

Hi,
As Gurus suggested, you will have to restrict viewing of data through dimension level security.
Give access of members to users, only which are relevant to users so that they can't view other user's data/members.
Like give access of members belonging to HR dept only to HR users and give access of Finance dept related members to finance users only.
Hence HR users will view only HR relevant data and won't be able to view (read or write) finance related data and vice-sa-versa.
Hope this helps
Regards

Essbase Excel Addin on 64 Bit Windows 7 and 64 bit Office 2010

Hi Everyone,
I have installed 11.1.2.2 on server with Essbase and Shared Services.
Now, on the client I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 64 bit office 2010.
I tried installing Excel Addin client only (without Essbase client) and restarted machine after install.
After install Addin didnt come up automatically and i tried to manually set the add-in, I'm getting an error "This is not a valid add-in"
Is it because i am using 64 bit of office and have to go back to 32 bit.
Isnt 64 bit supported for latest 11.1.2.2 Essbase ?
Any ideas or experience in this regard will be helpful to me as our company is going for Windows 7 and Office 2010 across the business users and if 64 bit Office is not supported or has issues i would have to suggest them to go with 32 bit Office 2010.
Thank you.

for 64 bit i guess its not avaiable for 2010 excel
but you can download 9 version or 11.1.1.3 with patch below is link.. its just a client ~~~

Excel addins and essbase authentication flow in 11.1.2.2

Hi Team,
Can you please let me know how enterprise authentication flow happens between excel addins and Essbase. Please let me how when I provided enterprise userid/password for authentication in excel addins, where does the authentication happens. Does the essbase agent authenticate directly against LDAP or it has a different flow for authenticating the user.
Thanks for your time and input

Hi Abhishek,
Can you please explain CAPI . Did you meant Common API?
Can you please let me know if userid/password property are sent directly to external directory server (LDAP/AD) from the essbase server when a user is passing userid/password from Excel addin.

Helping in Excel sheet 2013

I have sheet for (4 shifts)
i wanna make roster depend on date, the roster as follow
when i put starting day it makes fill automatically as the previous picture from starting date of month and ending of the same month and when i put another dates it make it as the same mechanism .. i wish you help me in this issue and also if you wanna
me to attach the file or give me the hint to solve the problem using excel vba 2013.
another help: i have also day duty shift they attend all the week (M) except Friday and Saturday are (O)

Hi Ahmed,
We could get the last used row and column through End method, then we could get the last empty cell and set the values to the empty cell (start from the last empty cell).
Simple code:
Sub LastRowWithData_xlUp_1()
'use End(xlUp) to determine Last Row with Data, in one column (column B)
Dim lastRow As Long
'Rows.count returns the last row of the worksheet (which in Excel 2007 is 1,048,576); Cells(Rows.count, "B") returns the cell B1048576, ie. last cell in column B, and the code starts from this cell moving upwards; the code is bascially executing Range("B1048576").End(xlUp), and Range("B1048576").End(xlUp).Row finally returns the last row number.
lastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
MsgBox lastRow
End Sub
Sub LastColumnWithData_xlToLeft()
'use End(xlToLeft) to determine Last Column with Data, in one row (row number 2)
Dim lastColumn As Integer
lastColumn = ActiveSheet.Cells(3, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
MsgBox lastColumn
End Sub
To get the weekday, we could use WeekDay function, for example:
Dim LWeekday As Integer
LWeekday = Weekday("3/27/2015", vbSunday)
I suggest that you could try to achieve that, if you have the issues, you could post here if they are related to original issue or open the new threads.

Excel addin error

Hi,
I am using EPM 11.1.2.2 and I have office 2010 and excel addins 11.1.2.2. While retrieving I am getting the below error. I tried the solution provided in the link "http://oraclebrasil.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/error-essbase-has-encountered-an-internal-excel-error-when-retrieving-in-excel-with-essbase-excel-add-in-11-1-1-3/" but since I am having around 500 columns I am loosing the the columns after 256 while saving it as 'Excel 97-2003 Workbook’ .
Error: “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”
Can you please advise.

Think about using Smartview (since you are having 500 columns, that's too many columns if you ask me). Or split your sheets in such a way that it has only 256 columns.

How to check from code in Excel Addin that Excel is embedded in Microsoft word

We've developed an Excel Addin in C# for Excel 2010 and it works perfectly OK. But one issue is reported very recently as below.
1. Microsoft word document is created with an embedded excel work sheet.
2. Save the document and close.
3. Open the word document and try to edit the work sheet there.
4. Following error comes.
"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."
5. This is because, our Addin is initialized and one excel process is running.
6. If the Excel Addin is disabled, above work flow works correctly.
Please let me know how to determine from the Excel Addin that the excel worksheet is embedded in another applicatoin. Because I want to disable the Addin in those cases and enable it if the Excel is opened standalone. The Addin is developed in C#.

Hi,
Since the error message, please try to install this Hotfix test if it works:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596494
Note: Delete the Excel instance running in the background(Go to your task manager and delete it) before opening your Word document and edit your embedded Excel.
If the issue still exists, please see the article and try the solution which I copied here:
"The basic simple answer is to place a Marshal.ComReleaseObject(Wb) at the end (or better, in the Finally block) of your event handlers. This will properly allow Word and excel to handle the OLE communication by not having VSTO hang on to an instance
handle of the workbook, therefore causing the error.
And this is not carte blanche to start placing ComReleaseObject() all over your code. I have found VERY VERY few limited cases where using ComReleaseObject() in an add-in necessary. And this is one of them."

Pass Parameter Through REST API into PivotChart in Excel Services 2013

Is it possible to pass a parameter through the REST API into the filter of a PivotChart and return a filtered view of the chart? I've figured it out mechanically, and can pass the parameter in - but the chart doesn't refresh with the new filter.
For the record, I've looked at all of the online documentation on passing parameters and you'll note those all depict passing parameters into a table - not a PivotTable.
Curious if Excel Services 2013 has made any progress in that regard.
Thanks in advance...

Obviously it's not working for pivot tables/charts. Just found this in the SharePoint logs:

Use of Excel Addin when MDS is using https

We have set up MDS with a secure connection using https and a certificate for SSL connection, bound to the default site for MDS. When we try and use the Excel addin, it throws an error : Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel
with authority {server root address}
Can anyone help?

Does web ui works from the same machine excel is running?
When you connect to the WebUI, the browser will show a smart icon in the address bar for certificate. If you open it, does it say the certificate is valid?
1. The certificate should be valid. If it is self signed certificate, you need add this certificate to Trusted Root.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841.aspx
2. The certificate name should match the service name.
If the webUI works on that machine without any warning in browser, the excel addin should work with the exact same server url.

Is it possible to add Attribute(column) to entity via Excel addin?

I can create an entity via the excel addin and update data in it but i cannot add additional columns (attributes) to it via the excel addin once its created. am i missing something or is it just not possible?

Winston, is this still an issue?
Thanks!

Answer an interesting question?
Create a wiki article about it!
I worked around it using the excel addin, but the question is to see if its possible to do this in teh MDS web UI, without using excel, as its not very good design to have to jump from the browser based designer to excel and back in order to manage an MDS model.
