Excel Analyzer template problems with Excel 2003

There are numerous common problems when using Excel Analyzer templates with the Analyzer Add-In for Excel 2003:
The following problems have been found in the latest version of the stand-alone BI Publisher version 10.1.3.3.2:
1) If your report name is more than 24 characters long, the Excel Analyzer template will never open in Excel. The error is completely uninformative, too. The reason is that the Analyzer template tries to make a tab in the Excel file called <report_name>.xdo. Since tab names can only be about 26 characters long, Excel chokes when opening the file. It would have been nice if BI Publisher printed an error when encountering this situation.
2) If your report produces too many rows, Excel will time out when opening the Analyzer template. Again, the error in this case is completely uninformative. In fact it appears no different from the error in (1). Excel 2003 is supposed to have a row limit of 65,000, but we can't get the Excel Analyzer template to open with more than about 15,000 rows. This is a completely unacceptable limitation if you're going to be making pivot tables in Excel. This is a processing time-out problem, which cannot be remedied by changing any settings in BI Publisher.
3) If you use the data in your Excel Analyzer template to make a wide report, like maybe one column for each day in the year, because maybe you want to plot the data over a full year, then forget about opening this report successfully. Since the number of days in a year is more than 256, Excel will choke when trying to open the template. No informative error here either.
4) If you're going to make a Pivot Chart in Excel, in the Analyzer template, then your reports cannot produce more than 256 rows. I'm not talking columns, I'm talking ROWS people! No more than 256 rows. This is because Pivot Charts require creating a sideways pivot table, which means your rows end up as columns. This is the only way to plot data with time on the x-axis, which is where it should almost always be.

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Problem with Excel 2013 TaskPane

Hello,
I got problem with TaskPane on Excel 2013. With Excel 2007 and 2010 my program works perfectly.
I'm opening a workbook and making custom ribbon, but my workbook is hided and the problem comes that first time i can see TaskPane but after any other workbook opening and closing i can't show TaskPane because Globals.ThisAddIn.SarasuTaskPane.Visible
= true don't showing me TaskPane. Actual it's showing but we can't see it because it's hided with workbook, and if i unhide workbook i can see and use it. But i need my main workbook to be not visible for all time and users must see TaskPane.
I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub
3. That Sub loads my COM AddIn, and opens another .xlsm file (at the moment there are 2 .xlsm files opened)
4. My Add-in creates TaskPane, and TaskPane adds on my first .xlsm file(i noticed), and it's fine i can see it. But then i try some of my functions which sets TaskPane visible - false, and opens another .xlsx file then closes it, and trying to do TaskPane visible
- true no errors but also no TaskPane, then i Manually unhide my first Workbook i can see the TaskPane, when i hide it manualy - TaskPane hides too.. and this only on Excel 2013.
Any ideas to solve this? As i mention before with Excel 2007 and 2010 no problems it's works perfectly.
sincerely,
Julius

I have used you code to hide a panel , it works fine
Maybe my first post was incorrectly written. I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub

VGA problem with FiFA 2003 and Audio Problem with NHL2003

i use onboard VGA
800 x600for both games
with no problem
but for Fifa 2003
the screen looks so dark...
all players look like a black people(all black color hair
and black face))
some audio problem with NHL 2003...

Have you tried the following?
Adjust monitor settings? i.e. contrast/brightness
Video settings within the game? Some have gamma or brightness settings.
Gamma correction in "Display Properties"?

Anyone seen this problem with Excel 2003?

We're developing a Microsoft Excel-based app. The help system uses HTML Help (.chm) format, and works just fine with Excel 2007 and 2010. However, since a lot of potential users out there are still using older versions, we've been asked to adapt the app for Excel 2002 and 2003.
The help system works, more or less, with Excel 2002, but when we try it with Excel 2003 the tri-pane is missing. The default topic appears but the left-hand pane containing the navigation system (TOC, Index and Search) is missing. Consequently, users can't move away from the default topic. Has anyone come across this problem before, and do you know how to fix it?

I cannot help you with this one other than to say I haven't seen any other such reports. That may suggest it is worth checking for some small difference you haven't identified yet.
Of course it could also mean there aren't many people with that workflow.

BE Analyzer not working with Excel 2007 / Gui 710

Hi
I am working on a machine that has MS Office 2007 installed.
Here I am experiencing problems with BEx Analyzer.
The program starts up fine, I can connect to the BI server, see my excisting queries and workbooks when I press "Open" (created on a PC with Office 2003 installed) but as soon as I try to execute either of them I get an error:
"A Critical program error occured.
The program has to close.
Please refer to the trace for further information."
The same error occurs if I try to insert a query to a new workbook.
Background info:
SAP Gui 710, Patch 1
Support Pack Stack 12
According to the documentation I have found the combination of MS Excel 2007 and Gui 710 should be supported.
Johnny H.
PS I have added the SAP folders to my "trusted locations", and I have also marked the "Trust access to the VBA project object model" in the Excel options.

Hi,
I'm running SAP Gui 710 patch 3 and the BW add on 710 patch 1 on a Vista with Office 2007 and it runs well. I would suggest to download the latest patches on service.sap.com/swdc

Problem with Excel hiperlinks in DMS Documents

Hi. I have a very strange problem. I add several excel files to a DMS document and I archive them in a server.
These files contain several sheets and a lot of hiperlinks to different parts of excel file. When I open these excel files to see them, Excel open them but the hiperlinks don't run. Excel shows me next message: "Unexpected error".
I have analyzed the excel documents and I've seen SAP is protecting all cells and sheets (before I archive them, they are unprotected) and, if I download them to local disk, they are "only reading".
I hope somebody can help me.
Best regards, Iván.

so you're links are also working when you move you're excel files to a different folder ?? and when you move the files to different folders ?
even when you link between files it is still imperative that the file knows where it links to and can find the location. when you upload the files to SAP they get a new location in the vault. which doesn't necessary has to mean that they will be placed alltogether in the same folder in the vault.
I'm nog very familiar with the DMS customizing but perhaps there are a few options over there you can check.
we use dms only to store the location of our files. so the excel files remain on the same location as they are now. only in dms the link towards the file is maintained with all the additional info.
first question in customizing dms is whether you want the files accesible from outside SAP or want to use a SAP fault. we choice the first since other applications also need to access the files directly.

Performance Problems with Excel Client

Hello all,
We installed BPC 7.5 SP7 NW on our customeru2019s system and experience massive performance problems on our local clients in combination with Excel and MS Office in general.
u2022When opening u201CMaintain Dimension Membersu201D it takes some time (approx. 2 min) to open the Excel Sheet with the elements. The u201CSave to Serveru201D as well as the u201CProcess Dimensionu201D also takes time to execute. When executing u201CProcess Dimensionu201D the sandbox appears and it takes approx 2 min until the Process popup window appears. The process itself has normal performance.
u2022We also experienced slow performance with the opening or saving dynamic templates dialogue in the Excel Client. It takes some time until this dialogue appears.
In general, we experience slow performance every time BPC is opening a pop up window! We also experience slow performance when opening a (non BPC) MS Office document.
In order to resolve this issue we looked at the following notes and forum entries:
Notes: 1541181, 1531059, 1507575, 1479436, 1448502, 1288810
Forum: BPC NW slow Performance (Expand, Refresh, Saving) - How to enhance it?, [BPC for Excel] Dimension clicked, then Excel hangs
Can anybody give me tipps on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in Advance

SSRS 2012 problem with excel export

Hello
I updated SSRS 2005 up to SSRS 2012. When I exported report in excel (xlsx) I got following warning :
"We found a problem with some conent in 'filnename.xlsx'.Do you want to try to recover as much as we can? if you trust the source of this workbook,click yes"
After Pressing Yes Button
"REpaired Recors: Cell information from .xl.worksheets.sheet1.xml port"
15
0.00000000000000000000 this is in string format instead decimal
2
0.00000000000000000000
This heppens if i have decimal(38.20) variable in table and record value is 0.
To avoid this problem i must change report and use this expression
=IIF(Fields!SomeValue.Value = 0, 0, Fields! SomeValue.Value)
for value in report, but this is not sulution for me because we have more then hundred reports.
Is any other solution?

Hi LashaGurgenidze,
The issue seems to be related to the Excel 2010 or the Excel 2007-2010 rendering extension in SSRS 2012. If possible, I suggest that you keep the Office 2010 and the SQL Server 2012 up to date, and check the issue again.
In order to solve the issue, we can enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension in SSRS 2012, and use this render when exporting to Excel. We can modify the EXCEL render extension in the rsreportserver.config file as follows:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"/>
Then, the Excel 2003 render extension will be available in the Export drop-down list.
By default, the file is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Before we modify it please backup the rsreportserver.config file.

Email attachment problems with "excel" files.

I have just upgraded to the iphone 4 from the 3gs and since doing so any emails I receive with excel files attached will not open the attachment? These files openened with no problem on the same email account on my 3gs.
Instead when I download the attachment and go to open it I am met with a page displaying....
"Unable to read document.
An error occured while reading the document."
Has anyone else having this problem or even better anyone know what the fix is to get these files showing up?
Any help would be appreciated,
Kris

After much frustration about excel files not opening and repeatedly not getting answers from apple, I think I might have found another way. It seems that the new apple OS does not support older versions of excel. By saving the excel file in question (Save As) to "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook" the Workbook opens just fine as an E-mail attachment. If you have macro's you can save as "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook (Macro Enabled)" and it works also.
The Workbook in question as far as I was concerned was created in Microsoft Excel 2003.
Hope this helps
Apple needs to get on the ball. This was almost a dealbreaker with me.
Android is looking better and better every day.

Problem with Excel 2013 on W8 and WD NAS

With my W8 laptop, I get a lot of problem saving excel file on my NAS. I get "we can't save filename.xlsx because the file is in read-only. To keep your changes you'll need to save the workbook with a new name or in a different location..."
I'm alone using the file. Not being use by anyone else.
Exemple: load file "A" from the NAS, can't save it back on the NAS. I save it as "B" on my desktop. Open "B" do some change and try to save it... get " that someone else is using the file....
Only way is to save it one a 3rd name...
I have this issue often but not all the time..
Don't see this with W7pro laptops...
Thank you

Hi FGauthier,
Have you ever try to save Document ,PPT file or Text file to the NAS? Does this issue only occurs with excel file?
what will happen if you copy the file to NAS instead of use the 'save as' feature within excel?
When you open the excel file, if it flagged as read-only, try to right-click the file, check if the read-only option is ticked. Also you can try to save the file as different file format to test this issue.
Also please check if you enable the preview pane, try to disable it .
a) Open File Explorer.
b) Click on View Tab.
c) Click on Preview Pane to view\hide it.

Problems with Excel 2007 and Essbase 6.5

Hi,
Two quick questions:
1. We are planning to upgrade our office to 2007, XP professional SP2 but still going to use Essbase excel add-in 6.5 for some users and Essbase 7.3 add-in for others. Has anyone faced any problems with this combination?
2. The only problem I encountered so far was when I double click a member name for retrieval, the pointer (cursor/icon) flickers / flashes continuously. But when I take the pointer out of the excel spreadsheet, the flicker goes away. Does anyone know a fix to this. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm admin of an hyperion essbase database.
I'm testing our addin 6.5.1 with excel 2007.
First problem evocated on retrieve is confirmed.
I continue my test and tell you if i find another problem.
What i would say is that old version can be unsupported but i'm sure we can use this addin on excel 2007, i hope.
Regards.
