Excel framework and pivots and charts

Can you point to an excle spreadsheet with pivot tables and charts/dashboards? I have not used the excel portlet suite since PT 4.5.

Don't worry, Mickey, it hasn't changed a lick since then. :-)
You always could point to a range in a pivot table and to a chart. Ranges, including those created by a pivot table, will be displayed as static HTML tables w/o formatting and charts will be exported to JPGs and displayed pretty much exactly as they look in the workbook.

Charts and pivot tables are not generated in Seed Cache using iBots

Hi,
I have been working on OBIEE cache. I encountered few issues.
1. We scheduled ibots to run daily and deliver dashboards to seeding cache. But the cache is not getting created for some reports which have charts and pivot tables in the dashboards .
We are using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.1.
2. When an end user logs in and access dashboard, the query is hitting the database.
3. The sql query for reports which got created in server cache are not the same as sql query generated when an end user logs in to access dashboard. The difference being query generated when an end user is accessing dashboard is using aggregates.
4. Please let me know if anyone has faced same issue and any solutions.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,

Pivot and chart drill down

Hi ,
Could anyone please let me know how to drill down in pivot and related chart report .
As because when I drill i get a table view instead of chart.
Regards,
Megha

Hi,
I believe you are trying to show chart of your pivot table as well in your pivot view. I tried and I can drill down from both chart and its pivot table.
You need to select drill option under Interaction tab of Additional Charting Option properties of this chart. Save your report and see if drill down in pivot table and in chart in the Pivot view is working.

Rituraj Kumar.

Can I navigate and drill down in chart and pivot table?

In the fact, the end user want to navigate to a detail report request when drill down to the final level.
I know when use table, I can navigate on data and drill down on column.
But in chart and "pivot table", I do not find the option of interaction to achieve this.
Any suggestion?

You can drill down in charts but I just saw you can't in pivots (strange because I assumed that that must be possible)
However, you can always use guided navigation!

An Important AS3-based Multi-Platform Framework for Developers and Adobe

Hello to all developers and to all representatives at Adobe!
We're all fortunate for Adobe's progressive thinking and their immensely helpful programs to battle against device fragmentation. In order to advance our efforts, we, as developers, must also permit our creative juices to flow to allow the cup of opportunity to runneth over -- not just for our and Adobe's benefit, but for the benefit of businesses and consumers who demand innovation.
There are, however, barries in the shape of human form that deter potential developers, businesses, and consumers from embracing and capitalizing on such a powerful platform. These obstructions aren't only coming from behind walled gardens; unfortunately, they're entrenched within our own camp.
Ignoring rules of optimization and taking careless shortcuts, combined with not possessing an optimized and simplified alternative to targeting a wide range of browers and devices in one fell swoop, are the ammunition needed for skeptics to plant seeds of doubt about such a useful and future-proof ecosystem.
Much like any platform and object-oriented programming language, the Flash Platform and ActionScript 3 are powerful weapons that must be wielded with responsiblity, or risk creating wounds that, in the minds of consumers, aren't easily healed.
And since this is OUR responsibility, I've decided to take on that burden...which then became a challenge...which soon became the innovative answer we so deperately need.
As an offering to my fellow developers, and as a proposal to Adobe -- the company in which I'm devoted to -- I've created an OOP-based framework that simplifies the process of developing optimized applications that cover a broad spectrum of browsers and devices.
It's called Cross Model View Controller™, or XMVC™ for short, and it offers the following features:
-Imagine using one base source code -- which you build just once -- to target a multitude of platforms: from smartphones and tablets, to desktops and browsers, and even to smart televisions.
-Your concrete View classes determine the layout of components and animations for each targeted device; once your base classes are built, your concrete View classes are the ONLY classes that require alteration (see diagram).
-Utilize the flexibility of the XMVC UI Components to work across ALL devices and browsers. You simply specify the platform type (mobile, desktop, browser, or television) in the concrete view classes, and the XMVC UI Components do the rest.
Example: The XMVC Container (which holds child elements and incorporates scrolling): When set to "mobile," it incorporates touch scrolling; when set to "desktop" or "browser," it incorporates a scroll bar; when set to "television," its scrolling is controlled by remote control directional events, as well as incorporates virtual directional buttons. And this is all from ONE instance of the XMVC Container component; this eliminates switching out various types of containers for each targeted device.
-Animations are created using Greensock's TweenMax platform, for lightweight, optimized animations.
-For complete orientation control, you can assign custom animations for orientation changes. It even incorporates an Upside Down view for Android devices.
-You can allow users the preference of turning animations on or off, with a flip of a switch (litteraly).
-XMVC automatically removes event listeners for better Garbage Collection processing.
-XMVC accepts various data structures, including XML, PHP/AMFPHP with SQL, SAP, and HTTP Web Services. It would be incredibly beneficial to allow incorporation of ColdFusion, LiveCycle Data Services, and BlazeDS data structures, as well.
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, and possessing and utilizing a powerful tool is necessary to progress our efforts in reaching an abundant amount of individuals and entities.
The primary functionality of the framework (as displayed in the diagram) is complete; improving and adding additional XMVC components are the primary objective at this point of the development stage.
Very soon, I will upload the source code to an outlet (such as Google Code) for developers to download and experiment. Within the same timeframe, anticipate demo apps within App Markets to test on your devices.
Adobe has such an incredible development community, and my hope is that XMVC provides these developers, as well as Adobe, an incredible amount of leverage to persuade businesses, consumers, as well as other developers to embrace and utilize a platform that can withstand the change of time.
Imagine businesses excelling beyond their self-imposed barries due to the robustness and flexibility of a platform and framework that can function in any environment.
Imagine liberating consumers to allow them to use your applications whenever, wherever, and on WHATever they desire.
Think of the possibilities of quickly submitting applications -- with very little, or no, alterations to your programs -- once device manufacturers like Windows Mobile, webOS, and Symbian finally accept Adobe AIR.
If there are developers out there who share the same sentiment, and if there are Adobe representatives who find this framework intriguing and effective, by all means, contact me.
The possiblities are endless...so must be our efforts.
Onward and upward,
Adrian-Cortez Jackson

Internal table in Excel output with Header and Total

Hi All,
I have a selection-screen of a report where there is option to specify the path of a file to be stored in local PC. This Report gives output in ALV format which displays header and total of columns.
Now, the requirement is, when the user specifies a path for the file in selection screen it should download in the specified location with header and total row into an excel format.
The issue is, I have the internal table with data without total and header row and the total is getting displayed in the screen through ALV feature. I am not sure, how to give the same output in downloaded excel with header row and total as it is displayed on screen.
Please let me know, if you have any suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Anshumita.

try using TOP OF PAGE event and write the number of records in the header part.
hope this will help.

Pivot and dynamic SQL

Hi Team,
I need to write a SQL to cater the requirements. Below is my requirements:
pagename fieldname fieldvalue account_number consumerID
AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken dfsdff 1234 1234
AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken1 dfsdff 1234 1234
AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken2 dfsdff 1234 1234
AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken2 dfsdff 12345 12345
AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken1 addf 12345 12345
Create table test_pivot_dynamic
pagename varchar(200),
fieldname Varchar(200),
fieldvalue varchar(500),
N9_Router_Account_Number bigint,
TC_Debt_Item_Reference bigint
--Input
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken','addf',1234,1234)
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken1','dfsdff',1234,1234)
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken2','fder',1234,1234)
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken2','dfdfs',12345,12345)
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken1','dfdwe',12345,12345)
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate1','Arrangements','addf',1234,1234)
insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate1','Test1','dfsdff',1234,1234)
--Expected output:
Select 1234,1234,'AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken','addf','ArrangementsBroken1','dfsdff','ArrangementsBroken2','fder','ArrangementsBroken2','fder'
Select 12345,12345,'AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken','addf','ArrangementsBroken1','dfdwe','ArrangementsBroken2','dfdfs'
Select 1234,1234,'AFAccountUpdate1','Arrangements','addf','Test1','dfsdff'
so basically we have to pivot and dynamic sql and insert the expected output to a common table which will have all the required fields

Open and close the chart

Hi All,
I am developing a dashboard that has drill down. Below is the scenario.
Clicking on a push button should open a chart 1 with a a close button and hide chart 1 and clicking on chart 2 should open chart 3 with close button and hide chart 2 with a close button.
closing chart 3 must bring me back to Chart 2. Close on Chart 2 brings me back to Chart 1
i am new to BO. Has anyone done this before. Please share ideas.
Thank You

Hi,
You can achieve this using Lable based menu component and with chart also.Based on the selection of the label based menu,the charts can be displayed.Take Label Based menu Source Data as B6:B8 and Destination as B5.Now take Chart1 Dynamic visibility Status (under Behaviour Tab)as B5 with Key 1 similarly for chart 2 Dynamic Visibility status Cell as B5 with Key as 2 and for chart 3 also Dynamic Visibility status as B5 cell with Key as 3.Make the Label based Menu Behaviour Tab-->Selected Item-->Type is Label and Item is Label 1 to select the by default as first chart

Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken. After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'. Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear? How do I create a deployment with this issue? Has anybody else experienced this? Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?

Hi Ching-Hwa,
I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file. This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI. After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error. Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to? Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to? If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it? I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior. Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI? It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself. What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine? Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine? Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior. Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?
In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case. While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening. This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.
Thanks, Ching-Hwa! I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue. Have a great day!

Excel & Powershell: Bulk Find and replace URL's used in forumlas

Hi, I'm working on creating a script that I will provide a list of SharePoint 2007 document libraries to which will do the following:
In Excel, find formulas within cells that link to other workbooks + sheets (XLS/XLSX)
If found, replace the formula link http://serverold/site/doclib/ with
http://servernew/sites/sitecollection/doclib and save
Else, close the workbook and move onto the next
Log full URL and filename of any changes
Using the code on this
link as my starting point I cannot get the following working:
1. The regex expression to make the script detect the URL in the formulas
2. modify the script to replace the old path with the new path in the formula within cells.
3. a for each branch to deal with when the match is found (save and close) and when it's not found (just close)
I'm not going into detail on all the research I've done (info is very light on the ground), just that it is mentioned on another thread that you can enumerate these
links centrally in Excel but no example or links were given and when I've tried to enumerate the links collection in PowerShell (with Excel 2010 installed) it is empty with the example workbook I'm using which I know as "links" in that sense.
Example to enumerate link collections:
$File = "C:\temp\example.xls"
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $true
$Workbook = $Excel.workbooks.open($file)
$Workbook.LinkSources
So it begs the question, which method is right?
Example Excel formula
=+'http://serverold/site/site/Work in Progress Documents/Statements/[Hierarchy2011.xls]Reports'!$AD$37+'http://serverold/site/site/Work in Progress Documents/
Script to enumerate links (from the link I mentioned as my starting point) -
$path = "C:\temp"
$excelSheets = Get-Childitem -Path $path -Include *.xls,*.xlsx -Recurse
$excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$excel.visible = $false
foreach($excelSheet in $excelSheets)
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Open($excelSheet)
"There are $($workbook.Sheets.count) sheets in $excelSheet"
For($i = 1 ; $i -le $workbook.Sheets.count ; $i++)
$worksheet = $workbook.sheets.item($i)
"`tLooking for links on $($worksheet.name) worksheet"
$rowMax = ($worksheet.usedRange.rows).count
$columnMax = ($worksheet.usedRange.columns).count
For($row = 1 ; $row -le $rowMax ; $row ++)
For($column = 1 ; $column -le $columnMax ; $column ++)
[string]$formula = $workSheet.cells.item($row,$column).formula
if($formula -match "\w?:\\\w*\\\[\w*\.xls\w?\]") {"`t`t$($formula)"}
} #end for $column
} #end for $row
$worksheet = $rowmax = $columnMax = $row = $column = $formula = $null
} #end for
$workbook.saved = $true
$workbook.close()
} #end foreach
$excel.quit()
$excel = $null
[gc]::collect()
[gc]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()
Thanks to anyone who can help and for your time.

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.
Best regards,
Crank

Excel Files become "Broken" and cannot be opened

Our environment is as follows:
SharePoint 2013 server, web application running in 2010 mode. Our users are primarily on thin clients in a 64-bit Citrix environment running Office 2013 applications. We use a redirected desktop/my documents on a network drive so that users will
have their documents and settings on any computer they log into.
The issue we've run into is that sometimes one of the Excel files becomes "broken" and will no longer open. This seems to be related to when a user has the file open for long periods of time and loses connectivity or if the user's Excel /
session crashes. When the file becomes broken, the symptoms are:
Open document from SharePoint and Excel splash screen reads:
1. Starting...
2. Contacting the Server For Information. (This message lasts ~2 min)
Then an error message in Excel states:
"Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."
OK
"Could not open 'https://sharepointurl/site/subsite/documentlibrary/document name.xlsx'."
OK
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file
'SameFilePathAsAbove'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
OK
Empty workbook
We've had problems determining "who" broke it, but the result is the same - nobody is able to open it, whether using Excel2013, Excel2010, or the Excel Services thru the SharePoint "view in browser" option.
Our terminal servers reboot nightly, we've tried rebooting the 2 SharePoint application servers and the SharePoint SQL server to no avail. It seems like the file is stuck waiting for itself. In some cases, we've found that older versions of the
file can be restored (generally a few versions back) but when versioning is not enabled then that possibility is out.
We cannot seem to resolve where the issue lies at it's core or how to resolve it. This happens much more frequently for the documents that users keep open for long periods of time making modifications to them, but we suspect that's because they are
just more likely to have a SharePoint document open if their computer or Excel client crashes.

They don't want us (the dealers) to edit the spreadsheet, but they do want us to read it. It's their pricelist, they wouldn't sell a lot of equipment if we couldn't see how much it costs! The point is that Numbers won't even open a spreadsheet that is edit protected, not read protected. This is a major issue, it should at the very least tell me I can open or import the sheet as a read only.
Excel will always open the spreadsheet, it just can't make changes to it.
For right now, when I need to get information from the pricelist in Excel, I have to copy and paste the info from the edit protected page to another blank sheet. This is a royal PITA because the Excel pricelist has 50 plus pages. I have been officially told to do that by my manufacturer. But they won't give anyone the password to unprotect the edit function of the sheet. Go figure.

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:
