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.

HE641 Excel Addin error

HE641 Excel error
Has anyone come across the following error? It happened when one of the users waas using Hyperion Analyst.
CHappFile::SetFilePosition returned: 0x6 : The handle is invalid.
Terminating current session.
(User: ie691 ) D:\Progra~1\Micros~1\Office11\EXCEL.EXE - An unrecoverable error occured.
CHappFile::SetFilePosition returned: 0x6 : The handle is invalid.
Terminating current session.

In windows there are two types of variables Local and System. As the name suggest the Local is available to only user who creted it. While the System is available to all but only admin can edit it.
The issue is that the environment variables are set as Local environment variables and not as System variable type.
So check whether the System variables found in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (system var) hive or HKEY_CURRENT_USER (Local var). Make those variables available in (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) reg parameters not in other one.

Hi All
Recently we have developed some reports for excel addin and when we are trying to run we are getting an error "Unknown Server error" , where if we run different report from the same folder , we are getting the prompts and were able to run them.
In the newly created report , we have used reference filters , that are filters which are saved and used in different reports , we have added them in this report. Is this issue ? I have shared those filters for a sect of groups which run these reports , even then we are getting the same issue.
Can somebody help me on this?

Error while sending data thru excel addin

Hi John,
When we tried pushing the data using excel addin, it gives an error
Your software license does not include the ability to update the data thru the spread sheet.Please contact your administrator.
We are also unable to save the data thru forms.

Hi,
In 9.3.1 the products that are enabled for use are usually set by the registry.properties—in <Hyperion_Home>\common\config
Have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hsys9_install_start_here.pdf

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

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."

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.

Excel Addin issue

Hi There,
I am wondering if the issue happens to others or not, but some of our excel addin users have the following issue:
They use Excel addin Lock, send and unlock the data, however when they do "Retrieve", there is nothing showing up at excel. (default calculation is executed before the retrieve). However the other users can retrieve from their excel addin.
Sometime when excel is restart then retrieve works.
Any idea?

1.User is able to login to the application but when trying Essbase->retrieve nothing is displayed.So, No problem with the user .... but have you used admin credential and tried?
2. I took some combination and tried to retrieve but nothing is displayed..no data. No error message also. Have you checked the sessions of a user who is unable to retreive the data??What i mean is session created for that user ???
3. Now user is receiving "Runtime error 53". file not found "essxcln.xll"I think the file Essxcln.xll is not there...Check in Hyperion->bin->"Essxcln.xll" it should be there...
if it is available open excel template and goto->tools->addin->Hyperion->bin->select "Essxcln.xll" and click "okay"
1. Which version of essbase are you using ???
2. Have you tried in Different system with similar configuration...??

Excel addin Option

I'm retrieving data in Essbase V11.1.1.3 using Excel addin. I have the Global option turned on to Display Unknow Members Warning message. If retrieve an unknown member, the addin doesn't display the warning message. I'm not sure why this happens.

Yes, I have checked the addin options in the Tools->Addins of the excel menu, and now I am able to connect to the Essbase using the Excel Addin. Thanks for the advise....
But I want to know why, When I did right clicking on the Database, and select preview data, it is giving an error message that "Exception: Failed to connect to the EDS Server for grid view. Cannot sign on to domain.NULL argument (4) passed to EESAPI function ESSLogin".
You said try harding the ID and the password for the EAS Server. I dont know what is hardcoding mean? I am beginner with essbase. Your help would be help me a lot,
I would be very thankful to you......

Problems with running excel addins

Hi,
I use ActiveX to store measurement data aquired from LV in an Excel
spreadsheet, which works fine so far. In one of the data columns though
I wanna use an Excel Addin to automatically calculate and update the
values.
However, opening the Excel spreadsheet from LV does not start up the
AddIn at all, though it works correctly whenever I start up Excel
manually.
I realised there's an object AddIn in the property node of
"_Excel.Application" and I can invoke a method "Add Excel.AddIns",
which has a file name as an input. I tried to connect the
AddIn-Filename *.xla to that input which results in an error message:
Error -2146827284 occurred at Exception occured in Microsoft Office
Excel, Die Add-Methode des AddIns-Objektes konnte nicht ausgeführt
werden
(translated: Add method of the AddIn-object could not be executed)
How do I start up the AddIn correctly? Im a newbie with AcvtiveX and
grateful for any easy to understand support on that issue. Can anyone
recommend me some useful literature to learn more about ActiveX?
Thanks for your help...

Hi r_keller,
could you tell me a little bit more about your application? Which AddIn do you wanna use? What do wanna calculate?
Here is a link regarding ActiveX:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx
Go to (from the menu to the left):
Office Developement >> Microsoft Office 2003 >> Office 2003 >> VBA Language Reference >> Microsoft Excel Visual Basic Reference >> Reference >> Properties/Methods.
Maybe you wanna install the Office Help, as well.
Location of ActiveX Object Model Documentation for Microsoft Office:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/29CDE4332C4E6A27862570AE006ECBF4?OpenDocument
Here is the documentation regarding AddIn from the Office Help:
AddIns Property
See AlsoApplies ToExampleSpecifics
Returns an AddIns collection that represents all the add-ins listed in the Add-Ins dialog box (Tools menu). Read-only.
For information about returning a single member of a collection, see Returning an Object from a Collection.
Remarks
Using this method without an object qualifier is equivalent to Application.Addins.
Example
This example displays the status of the Analysis ToolPak add-in. Note that the string used as the index to the AddIns collection is the title of the add-in, not the add-in’s file name.
If AddIns("Analysis ToolPak").Installed = True Then
MsgBox "Analysis ToolPak add-in is installed"
Else
MsgBox "Analysis ToolPak add-in is not installed"
End If
Is that what you wanna do?
Bye
