Excel Services - slicer in web part?

Is there a way to put a PowerPivot slicer into an Excel Services web part?
From what I've found, it looks like slicers aren't a named object that can be displayed, but it's difficult to tell. Is everyone really only using Excel Services in Excel Web Apps?

JJ78 you are my hero - the print-area idea works wonderfully! I'd been looking for a way to just display my PivotCharts and slicers in a "clean" view (without the Excel row and column headers, or the unappealing necessity of hiding gridlines and
moving the supporting PivotTables to way down on the page). The slicers are visible and work, and overall it is a much cleaner look to a Web part to NOT to be so Excel-like!
Note for anyone else using JJ's elegant solution who may not be as familiar with print areas in Excel:
1. In Excel, select the worksheet area you want to display (for me , this was the cells containing/around two PivotCharts and two slicers)
2. In the Ribbon, select the Page Layout tab
3. Click on Print Area - Set Print Area
4. In the Ribbon, select the Formulas tab
5. Beside the Name Manager (which as JJ says is where you can check the defined names within the workbook, to prevent conflicts) , click Define Name
6. Type in a name (like "PrintArea") - you will see your selected cell range in this dialog
7. Click OK
Thanks again JJ!
cheers /td

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer (Web Part) - IE Tab Title

Hi,
We are using a wiki Library to create page with SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer Web Part.
Everything is working great except for the Internet Explorer tab, instead of giving me the name of the Report it is showing the name of the web application. All the other wiki pages is working fine.
Regards,
Social Technet Microsoft.

Hi Brysk,
Is there any difference between the problemaitc page containing the webpart and other working wiki pages for showing the title name in IE tab?
The IE tab should show the information in tag<title> of the page, please check if it is correct for that page (using F12).
Also check if it is related to IE browser compatibility issue.
Thanks

Exporting to Microsoft Excel from a DataView Web Part consuming a Web Service with Parameters

In Sharepoint Designer, I've developed a page displaying a DataView Web Part which consumes an XML Web Service with three parameters. These parameters are passed in from a simple Form Web Part containing three input fields. I am able to provide default values for the web service so the dataview is initially populated, and when I enter in new parameters, the web service goes back, grabs the requested data and displays in the dataview nice and slick.
The problem I'm having is this: In Internet Explorer 7, when I right-click on the DataView Web Part and select Export to Microsoft Excel, Excel opens up, says "ExternalData_1: Getting Data..." and returns the data from the web service which applies to the default parameter values each and every time, regardless of whether I have changed the parameters on the web page, and contrary to what the DataView Web Part displays on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this, and is there a solution to the problem?
Best regards,
Mark Christie

Hi Bullish35,
It's possible to provide single export button and export your 4 dataview webparts. Here's the modified code.
<Script Language="Javascript">
function isIE() // Function to Determine IE or Not
return /msie/i.test(navigator.userAgent) && !/opera/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
function exportToExcel() // Function to Export the Table Data to Excel.
var isIEBrowser = isIE();
if(isIEBrowser== false)
alert('Please use Internet Explorer for Excel Export Functionality.');
return false;
else
var strTableID1 = "detailsTable1", strTableID2 = "detailsTable2", strTableID3 = "detailsTable3", strTableID4 = "detailsTable4";
var objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
var objWorkBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add;
var objWorkSheet = objWorkBook.Worksheets(1);
var detailsTable = document.getElementById(strTableID1);
var intRowIndexGlobal= 0;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable1.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable1.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable1.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable2.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable2.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable2.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable3.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable3.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable3.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable4.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable4.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable4.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
objExcel.Visible = true;
objExcel.UserControl = true;
</Script>

I switched to excel services from office web app, and i want to revert my changes. remove-spwopisupressionSetting doesnt work!

I originally had excel web app working on prem, but since it didn't support powerview I tried my luck with excel services.
I switched to excel services by using the new-SPWOPISuppressionSetting cmdlet.
I figured to return to excel web app, I would just use the remove-SPWOPISupressionSetting cmdlet, but I removed the suppression setting and even reboot the server and it's still using excel services!
What do I have to do at this point, reinstall office web app completely? Its still working for word and powerpoint, why didn't it take back over for excel? Any tips?
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to
remove the suppression settings for excel.
I could try these point below:
1.
Test the issue with another browser.
2.
Test the issue with another computer.
3.
Try to clear the cookie of your browser and test your issue.
4.
Try restart the IIS with command iisreset.
Please try command
Get-SPWOPISuppressionSetting to get
all the suppression settings on the current SharePoint farm to check if the excel is suppressed or not. You could refer to this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219445.aspx.
As word and PowerPoint work well, you could try command
Remove-SPWOPISuppressionSetting -Extension "XLSX" -Action "view" that you could refer to this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219452.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.

Avilable Web Parts to view word documents

I have added Excel & Visio web parts inside my publishing site collection, to view visio & excel documents. but seems there is not any available web parts for viewing word documents, so can anyone advice about this ?

The difference is based on the existence of a shared service app for Excel and Visio. You can view Word Documents using Office Web Apps. Excel files can be viewed using either Office Web Apps or Excel Services. The web part you are referring
to is part of Excel Services. Visio services also has a web part, but has no support in Office Web Apps. But since there is no Word Service App there is no web part available for viewing word documents, only Office web apps itself.

Susbscription Action not showing in SQL Server Reporting Services Web Part

I am trying to use the SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer Web Part in a Share Point site. Under the View section of the Web Part Properties, I am able to select "Show subscription menu item". However, it never shows up. Is
there something else I need to configure to allow this Action menu item to show up?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Gouranga,
According to your description, when you install the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint 2013, you find the files are installed into the folder for sharepoint 2010(..../14). Right?
In Reporting Services, Not all features are supported in all combinations of report server, Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint, and SharePoint Products. Please see the linke below:
Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2012)
As you can see in the link, the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in is only for Sharepoint 2010. This the reason why it's installed into the file for sharepoint 2010.
Reference:
Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products (SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013)
Install or Uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

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.

Best practice to develop the news web part to retrieve news data across the farms

Hi,
We have developed the News Web part. The functionality it pulls the news from other SharePoint Farms and display it in the site. Currently we are using secure store service to to connect to different FARM to retrieve the news from that FARM.
The issue with this approach is that every time user hits the page it will always hit the Secure Store service.There are almost 80K users who will be using this web part. Moreover this web part connects to multiple sites for multiple news from different
division.What should be the best practice to develop such kind of web part without consuming the server resources and keep hitting the server till we get the new news.News does not change very often.
Regards
Rajaniesh

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which is the best way to handle the large complication of SharePoint cross farm retrieving data.
If you are developing the custom web part to retrieve data from other farm, I suggest you can firstly create a custom timer job to get data hourly in the backend and restore the data in a list. Then you can create a web part to link to the list to display
the data.
For cross farm accessing data, I suggest you can create a custom web service to achieve it.
Also, you can use ajax to display the web part data asynchronously. It will improve the performance and reduce the server pressure.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Creating a Custom ASP.NET Web Service
Create asynchronous web parts for Sharepoint

How to enable a custom web part class file to be refreshed at regular interval of time, without affecting the entire page where its placed.

Hi,
I am calling a web service in the web part class file where it gets the data. I need to call the service at regular intervals of time which is in the web part, is there a way to get the web part refreshed automatically at certain intervals of time.
Rayudu

You can use Ajax for automatic refreshing.
Add a timer control into an Ajax Update panel within your custom web part and execute your code to refresh the field values within the Timer_Tick() event.
You can also control the timer interval to 10 minutes or so using the Timer.Interval property.
This will always enable your page to remain with only the web parts getting refreshed.
I just found
a blog post which describes this in detail with screenshots.

How to dispaly Excel Timeline slicer in Excel web part

Hi Ravin,
please have a try to update to the latest of the cumulative updates, from the SP1 update.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/steve_chen/archive/2013/03/26/3561010.aspx
as i know from my colleague in sharepoint online team, it was a known issue and fixed in october. so perhaps you may consider to update to the october 2014 release.
meanwhile, perhaps you can try these steps for a workaround:
set the emulation document mode in Internet Explorer 11 to something other than "Edge (Default)".
To apply the workaround:
Open IE on the client experiencing the issue
Press F12 on the keyboard to bring up Developer Tools.
Click the emulation icon on the left side and choose anything but “Edge (Default)” for Document Mode

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."

Hi Sandip,
Please access CA and go to Services on server page, then check if Excel Calculation Services is in started status. If not, please start it and test the issue again.
If it still doesn't help, please bring up IIS Manager and locate the site running ECS (might be SharePoint Web Services), then select Authentication in IIS section and disable ASP.NET Impersonation.
http://jhctechnologyinc.blogspot.com/2013/09/excel-calculation-services-wont-start.html

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.

Excel Services Timeline Slicer Issue

Hello,
I am experiencing a very weird error. I have an Excel 2013 workbook which connects to a tabular model on SQL Server 2012 SP1.
There are 3 slicers, (one being a timeline slicer) connected to 2 pivots in this workbook. I host the workbook on Sharepoint 2013 using a web part. Everything was working fine until I upgraded the tabular model server SQL Server 2012 to SP1. I
updated the compatibilty of the model to SP1 and redeployed my model to the server.
When I open the workbook on my laptop all slicers work fine. When I open the workbook through excel services and I use the slicers which are NOT the timeline slicer I get the below error:
"An error occurred while attempting to perform this operation. Reload th eworkbook and then try to perform this operation again".
Whats weird is the Date timeline slicer still works but the other slicers throw the above error when used.
If I remove the timeline slicers connections to the pivot tables all slicers work fine in excel services. Except I cant use the timeline slicer because its not connected.
I have rebuilt the entire workbook using a new connection and I still get the same results. I have rebuilt the DateDim in the tabular model in hopes this would help....nope. I have created a regular slicer pointed to the date dim and that will work...its
only when I connect the Timeline slicer do I get an error.
Any guidance would be awesome.
Thanks!

I figured it out. Try, Opening the linked pivots "Pivot table options" and navigating to the "Totals and Filters" tab. Make sure the box "Allow multiple filters per field" is ticked. This should fix it.
For some reason if you have the timeline slicer your pivots need to have this checked or else Excel Services will give you the above error.
Hope it helps!
