Excel services, charts

Currently I as tasked with uploaded some excel workbooks and having them autorefresh on our SharePoint 2013 site. I have a few questions though
1) with the excel service web part, is there anyway to make it not look like Excel? Though my charts in the excel file itself are small in nature, when the web part shows them, they're massive, how can I size it? Also, is there a way to only show the charts
from the excel file and not all of the unused excel lines?

What you can do is provide the chart title in the excel file and set web part chrome to none. This way your web part will display chart and it will not look like Excel.
Also to display just the chart you just need to select area (cells) around your chart and then go to Formulas Ribbon tab and click "Define Name". Enter the name of that particular region. Upload this file back to SharePoint.
Now when you configure your excel viewer web part you can specify the name that you specified as "Named Item" value in web part configuration.
This way it will only show your chart and nothing else.
I hope this helps.

Excel Services with SharePoint List Data in SharePoint 2013 - Chart is not refreshing automatically

Hi Everyone,
This is My req: I m going to display pie chart and Bar chart in share point 2013.
Steps I have follwed:
1. Export the list to excel.
2.Using the Power Pivot table I have done the chart.
3. Uploaded into document Library.
4. Added into the web part.
Chart are displaying. But When ever user added the data into the list chart is refreshing.
Is there any option to refresh the data in chart? Waiting for valuable replies.
Regards, Manoj Prabakar

SharePoint lists as data sources in Excel Services is not supported.That's the reason refreshing is not working. There are some work around you can use -
Export as Data Feed - Export your SharePoint list as Data Feed , use this data feed to a PowerPivot for Excel workbook and publish this PowerPivot using Excel Services.
User-defined functions - write UDF in C# and extend the Excel Services functionality to work with SharePoint lists.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb267252(office.12).aspx#Office2007ExcelServicesUnlimited_SharePointLists
Web Services API -
The Web Services API can be used to push data from a database and then refresh the data in a SharePoint Server list by using Excel Services.
JavaScript Object Model - The JavaScript Object Model for Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides many solutions for Excel Services.

Failed to download chart or image in SharePoint 2010 excel services

Hi,
I have one document library in SharePoint 2010. I have uploaded one excel sheet which is having chart. Now when I am trying to open it in browser, but it is showing me below error on chart part of excel sheet.
'Failed to download chart or Image'
This is happening on prod server. I tried similar process on lower environment in SharePoint 2010. It is absolutely working fine. I checked all services, settings on both farm but doesn't find any clue.
Please help.

Hi,
What do you mean by lower environment? Does it mean the lower version of SharePoint server?
To solve this issue should try changing the "Maximum Chart Size" Excel Services Trusted Location setting.
By default it is 1MB, so if a chart is bigger than that, it won't render.
For similar issues, please refer to the following articles:

Can we see dynamic data on charts using Excel Services

hi all,
i would like to know if there is any option in SharePoint 2013 for developing dynamic "responsive/interactive Charts" with SQL server as data source. And the connection should be there online, i mean the charts should refresh data based on
the SQL data all the time.
When i saw the feature of excel service, i could see only retrieving of data using data connection from sql and after adding that data to workbook, we can create responsive charts with required filters. However, i dint see option of data refresh from external
source without opening the excel work book.
What i want is, once i added the chart using chart webpart, if any new data is added or modified in external data source i.e., like SQL in my case, the chart should automatically updated with new changes in the data.
please let me know if my requirement can be fulfilled using OOB.
thank you beforehand .
Thanks & Regards Raj

Hi ALL,
Linda, I know you are only trying to help but when you answer questions where you don't know the answer you only mislead the user asking the question at best but every one else who reviews the post... we have been performing data refresh on page
render and every 5 minutes by default since SharePoint 2007. We build Business Intelligence Dashboards and Score Cards using Live data with Excel Services, and features like PowerPivot, PowerView
Data in a Microsoft Office Excel workbook that has been displayed in Excel Services can come from two different locations. The data may be stored directly in the workbook, or it may be stored in an external data source, such as in a database or
in an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube.
If the data comes from an external data source, the workbook author or administrator has defined the connection information, often in an Office data connection (.odc) file, which describes how to locate, log in, query, and access the external data source.
When you are connected to an external data source, you can perform a refresh operation to retrieve the updated data. Each time that you refresh data, you see the most recent version of the data, including any changes that were made to the data since it was
last refreshed.
Refresh all connections
On the Excel Web Access toolbar, under the Update menu, click
Refresh All Connections.
Periodic refresh
By using Office Excel 2007, the workbook author can specify that data automatically refreshes at a specified interval after the workbook is opened for each connection in the workbook. For example, an inventory database may be updated every hour, and so the
workbook author has defined the workbook to automatically refresh every 60 minutes. For more information, see Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Help.
A Web Part author can select or clear the Allow Excel Web Access Periodic Data Refresh property to enable or disable this periodic refresh operation, if the property has been defined by the workbook author. When the time interval elapses,
by default, the following refresh alert prompt is displayed at the bottom of the Excel Web Access Web Part:
Refresh data for <List of Connections>? (Now) (Always) (Don't ask me again)
An Excel Web Access Web Part author can also set the Display Periodic Data Refresh Prompt property to control the behavior of the message that is displayed when Excel Services performs a periodic data refresh during a session:
Always      means that the message is displayed with a prompt at each interval.
Optionally      means that a user can choose to continue periodic refresh without displaying a message.
Never      means that Excel Web Access performs a periodic refresh without displaying a message or prompt.
For more information, see
Excel Web Access Web Part custom properties.
I have only listed a couple of the ways you can have Excel services update external data, this is not an exhaustive list

Unable to view Report Filters on Excel Services web part

I have an Excel 2010 file with Pivot Charts. I want users to be able to select filters for the pivot charts to modify their chart/report as needed.
This excel file with Pivot Charts is visualized using Excel Services Web Part on SharePoint 2010.
My problem: The Pivot Chart Filters do not appear on SharePoint. They are available when the file is opened in Excel 2010.
Is there a way to have chart/report filters show up on SharePoint (excel services web part)?

As per the article below it seems that Pivot Chart Filtering is not available with Excel services. The article reads
"PivotChart reports are not interactive when displayed in a browser. You cannot filter a PivotChart report directly, but if you interact
with the PivotTable report that supplies data for the PivotChart report, the PivotChart report updates accordingly. This means if you filter the PivotTable report, the PivotChart report updates to show the filtered data set."
Unsupported Features in Excel Services
Though this article is for MOSS 2007 but if you read the following article for SP 2010 it reads "All other unsupported features continue
to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Excel Services."

How to create different Graphs in SharePoint 2013 without using Excel service?

Hi All,
I want to create different graphs in SharePoint without using Excel Service.
I do not want to create excel and then upload that to SharePoint.
Any one knows how to do that? Isthere any option to do that?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Darsh,
You can use
SharePoint chart webpart to display charts. Or you can use any jQuery charting library and feed data using JSOM or REST. Ex. high charts:

Excel Services and Excel Web Access Web Part on O365 SharePoint...

I am using O365 E3 w/SharePoint and I have successfully created Pivot Charts via PowerPivot to query oData feeds from a couple of SharePoint lists. I was not able to refresh the data on O365 until I performed
this operation.
I updated the data connections in the report to refresh when the report is opened (which runs when the page with a referenced chart is accessed), but now there is a "Query and Refresh Data" warning that appears when the page is loaded; poor UX.
I have read that there is a way to turn off this warning in SharePoint on-prem, but that doesn't help me with this nagging dialog box. I tried to move the report to a BI site in the collection and changed the report to use data connection files in the Data
Collection Library hoping for enough trust for this message to cease, but ... No joy.
Is there anything That I can do to keep the refresh on page load and lose the warning on O365? Maybe there is a Javascsript workaround someone can help with (I'm not much of a JS Dev).

Hi,
According to your post, I have done a test in my SharePoint on-line and reappeared your issue.
If the issue occurred at SharePoint on- premise, go to SharePoint Central Administration > Application Management > Service Applications > Manage service applications > Excel Services
application > Trusted File Locations and click on the Address that contains the workbook. In the External Data section, under Warn on Refresh, uncheck Refresh warning enabled and click OK.
Refer to the following link:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/10/22/excel-services-query-warning.aspx
Unfortunately, the feature to disable the ‘Data Refresh Warning’ is not available yet in SharePoint Online.
Because the option needs the SharePoint Central Admin level permission that is not opened to the public in Office 365 now.

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...

Missing Excel Services in Sharepoint 2013

Can anyone please help me understand why Excel services is not available to add as a service?
What is missing?

Hi GaryB92,
Excel Services is an Enterprise feature. Do you have an Enterprise product key, and has your company purchased Enterprise client licenses (eCALs) for the users that need to use Excel Services? Your Microsoft Account Manager can tell you if you aren't
sure.
If you are licensed for it then from Central Admin you can select "Upgrade and Migration" > "Enable Enterprise Features" and then go ahead and select the Enterprise radio button and then ok. You should note though, that you cannot downgrade the
farm back to use only Standard features though.
Note that depending on the key originally entered when installing the product, you may need to select "Convert farm license type" first and put in a correct Enterprise product key.
Also note that in 2013 there is a new User License Enforcement capability to help ensure that your environment complies with the actual MS user licenses purchased. Here is a useful article on this: http://www.petri.co.il/sharepoint-2013-user-license-enforcement.htm
There's also an easy to search SP2013 feature matrix by license type here - http://blog.blksthl.com/2013/01/14/sharepoint-2013-feature-comparison-chart-all-editions/

Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

Hi All,
We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

Excel Services 2013 Bug - Automatic or Periodic Data Refreshes Doesnt Update

All,
I have heard from other colleagues that there is a problem with SP2013 Excel Services Automatic Refresh. Specifically, when you set the data connection properties to
Refresh data when opening a file, no error is generated upon open, but it DOES NOT refresh the spreadsheet with new data.
Manual Refresh First. What I did to test this was configure an AS tabular model with AdventureWorksDW as the data source. Loaded the AdventureWorks Tabular project. Created an ODC pointing to the resulting cube instance.
(Made all of the required Excel Services configurations.) Then pointed a workbook to this data source to populate a Pivot Table. Saved it to SharePoint in a trusted location. ODC saved to SharePoint in a trusted data connection library. Finally,
I configured the connection properties to NOT Refresh data when opening the file. Saved it. Go to my in browser Excel Services file, and click
Data | Refresh All Connections. WORKS! Great.
Next up: Automatic Data Refresh. I made a copy of the same workbook. Connected to the same data connection file. Went into the properties of the connection on the copied workbook and checked
Refresh data when opening the file. Saved. Updated relational data in database. Reprocessed the tabular model. Re-opened the Automatic refresh workbook. Numbers stay the same.
I've tried also setting Refresh every setting on
Usage tab of Connection Properties dialog to low number. No change. Tried reducing the Excel Services External Data Cache Lifetime auto refresh setting to 10 seconds. Nothing, no change. Nothing seems to work to get Auto refresh
working. Manual refresh works great. Has anyone else seen this bug? Is there a hot fix? Anyone know if there is something else to try?
UPDATE: In the ULS log, what we see if the following line:
BaseWorkbook.PrepareConnectionsAsync: Refresh skipped. Could not find the data connection name - defaulting to previous state. sessionId=..., dataconnection=
Note: the dataconnection value at the end is empty.

Hi,
Thank you for your question. I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Excel Services and User Specific Data

Hello,
I am new to Excel Services.
I want to retrieve data to Excel Services (at this phase, to prevent it in Excel Web Part) from SQL Server.
The SQL might hold big amount of data so I think about fetching only the data relevant to each user.
I configured a pivot table over a data connection with Windows Authentication, and when I refresh it I get the following message "The data connection uses windows authentication and user credentials could not be delegated". I think the Windows
Authentication is required in order to pass information about the user to the SQL query so it can filter for the relevant data.
My questions are as follows:
Can I pass user information from the Excel model file to the SQL server in a way different from Windows Authentication?
Alternatively, if I retrieve the data unfiltered to Excel Services, and filter only the pivot, will I get the same performance?
Would the answers change if Excel and/or SharePoint version is changed from 2010 to 2013 or Online/365?
Any other idea?
Regards,
Barak

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to filter Excel Services Data.
You can you can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to a Current User Web Part or a Filter Web Part to pass user information. Please refer to:
Personalized Data in Excel Services
You will get the same performance.
You can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to a Current User Web Part in all versions.

Excel Services Refresh method not working in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
In our application, we open excel services workbook in sharepoint 2013. Using sessionid of the workbook, we called Refresh and CalculateWorkbook methods in that order. After Calculateworkbook method, I see time stamps in LastUpdatedTime for each connection
in 'Connections' tab of excel workbook. When Refresh method is called again after CalculateWorkbook method, the LastUpdatedTime for the connections becomes blank.
When I use sharepoint 2010, the temstamp is not becoming blank after refresh.
I think due to this reason we see blank data on our reports. Can somebody tell whether there is a problem with Refresh method in sharepoint 2013? Or is there somebody facing problem with excel services in sharepoint 2013? Any pointers can help.
Thanks,
Pranava

Hi，
For your issue, verify if Excel files are rendered by Office Web Apps:
When Office Web Apps is responsible for the rendering the URL will look something like this:
https://server/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc=/Documents/excel.xlsx&….
And when Excel Calc is rendering the document it should look like the following:
https://server/_layouts/15/xlviewer.aspx?id=/Documents/excel.xlsx&…
Here is an article about how to enable pdf preview with OWA:
http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013-enabling-pdf-previews-with-office-web-apps-2013-march-2013-update

Problem while refreshing the data for the second time using excel services in sharepoint 2013...

Hi,
I have migrated my Sharepoint from 2010 to 2013.I am able to get the data at the first time of refresh when I click on refresh for the second time I am getting the empty the sheet.
below find the flow of refresh
First Refresh
On Click of refresh open the workbook with excel services and return the session id.
Using that session I am invoking RefrehAsync method of excel services
After refresh completed I am setting the calculation of workbook as automatic(to calculate the formulas) using the same session id
After setting the calculation as Automatic I am setting the calculation type as full(recalculate) using the same session id.
Now I am able to see the data
Second Refresh
After clicking on refresh instead of opening the workbook I am using the session id(already opened workbook) and setting the calculation type as manual
I am following the same process from refresh(RefreshAsync) as I have followed in first refresh.
This time my formulas are not getting calculated because of that I am not able to see the data.
Could you please let me know that am I missing anything here?
Is this know issue in Sharepoint2013 excel services as same code is working fine with Sharepoint2010.
If I close the workbook(session id null) and opens(new session id) for all the refreshes it is working and I am able to see the data.
Thanks,
Meenakshi Nagpal
N.Meenakshi

I am able to see the data for the second refresh if I change the data source.If I use the same data source which is used in the first refresh I am not getting the data.Excel services will contact the cubes and calculate the formulas in my workbook.
Could you please let me know what could be the problem at second refresh while contacting the same data source with same session id?
Please help me asap.
Thanks,

I have two tier sharepoint 2010 enterprise setup
1)wfe and app server
2) sqlserver
I also have a sqlserver 2012 which hosts all our BI cubes .
is it possible to connect excel (office 2010) to sql 2012 BI and save that in my sharepoint 2010 server under shared documents and expect it to refresh when aall authenticated users hit " refresh all connections"
It is not able to hit refresh . I get a " unable to refresh data for a data connection in this notebook" the following connections fail to refresh.
Interesting when I do the same this using sql server 2008 r2 BI , everything works fine

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the SharePoint 2010 Excel Service cannot work with SQL Server 2012.
Did you install Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010?
SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 is required for SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for SharePoint features.
Please check if the Service Pack 1 is installed for SharePoint 2010. If not, please download it from the link below and install it:
