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!

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

Incorrect data value selected when clicking on slicer entry in Excel Services

We have uploaded various Excel 2013 files containing pivot tables to Sharepoint 2013 and viewed the pivot tables in a browser. The referenced pivot table data is normally a SSAS tabular model. This has been working fine for over 12 months apart
from one irritating feature.
Sometimes a clicked slicer entry does not result in the correct slicer value being selected. This typically occurs after using the mouse scroll button to scroll down a list of entries in a slicer. When using the keyboard arrow keys to highlight a slicer
value and pressing Return to select an entry, the correct value does always seem to be selected - so it appears to point to a mouse scrollwheel issue. Also, after scrolling through slicer entries using the mouse scroll wheel, there appears to be some sort
of slicer refresh problem that results in a blank entry/entries being displayed either at the top or bottom of a slicer. However, sometimes the correct 'tooltip' is shown for this blank slicer entry. One other point - when using the slicer scrollbar the scroll
down a list of slicer entries using Firefox, the problem does not seem to occur. IE does not seem to display the same type of slicer scrollbars (only active when the mouse hovers over the slicer) and so this is more difficult to replicate in Ie.
The worrying factor is that the user is often unaware that the incorrect slicer value has been selected. The problem can be replicated in both IE11 and Firefox. Also our client systems accessed via Citrix display the same problems.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Graham,
i built the same version, please correct me if should your environment, is sharepoint 2013 with march 2013 update and your office also the same update. in my labbox seems the issue is not re-producible.
after some discussion with my colleague, seems there was issue similar like this back in 2010 Excel and the remedy is to update the excel services and to re-install the power pivot at SQL server. back then the issue is because when we scroll the selection,
it should be locked, so then when we scroll it may have the position to update and refresh the data. one of the workaround is by clicking the item and press enter, by doing this it will refresh the page correctly. the link was:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29074
i tried to look at our update for the excel services 2013, there are updates in every cumulative updates but there is no particlular update regarding this issue, perhaps you may try this to check in your development environment, if should it may fix the
issue.
to re-install the power pivot, you may need to do this on your sql side.　
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210708.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210671.aspxi may suggest you to check the ULS log, if should there are issues with powerpivot also, to make sure if should there are no issue
regarding power pivot. if there is no issues on the powerpivot, then you may need to open a ticket to report this issue, so that we can have a detailed checking to your environment remotely.

Aries

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!

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 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
Besides, refer to configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013:

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,

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.

If it doesn't help, then we need to go through from the beginning, you could refer to the article below:

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.
Refer to the following link:

Secure Store and Excel Services

Greetings,
I have an Excel workbook that connects to an external SQL database. A simple stored procedure is executed and the data displayed in a sheet. This is a simple connection and works without issue when I open the workbook in Excel itself.
I now want to display this workbook in Excel Services, so I performed the following:
I created a Secure Store Service (no issues) and added a new target application.
In the target application, I selected Individual as the target application type.
On the next page, I used the correct credentials.
Saved the new target application entry in secure store services.
Then I updated the Excel workbook data connection to use the Target Application ID I just created in Secure Store Service.
When I refresh the data, while the workbook is open in Excel, all works without issue.
However, when I open the workbook in Excel Services, the data refresh fails; External Data Refresh Failed - An error occurred while accessing the application id from Secure Store Service.
Can anyone tell me what the conditions are that would cause this?
Thank you!

Hi Bob,
Whats up, how are you? Do you want to send me an email or give me a call, Ill send you a copy of our Book Business Intelligence in SharePoint 2013 and walk through the Excel Services Issue..
Take the Application ID and add it to the Excel Services Service Application, Global Settings, Application ID.
While still in Global Settings Set the File Access Method to Process Account
Please make sure the Library you are using for the Excel Workbook, and the Data Connection Library are both in a trusted locations.
In the ODC File make sure you have set Data Connection Authentication to None and specify in Excel to Always use this Office Data Connector
Cheers,
-Ivan

Getting error while submitting data to excel workbook through excel services in InfoPath 2010

Hi,
I have a requirement where in have to fetch the calculated values from the excel workbook through InfoPath 2010 form.
When I am submitting cell value to excel workbook using SetCellA1 by executing following action:
"Submit using data connection: dataconnection"
I am unable to submit form. It is giving "there has been an error while processing the form" in the front end. I checked the event viewer and it displayed following exception:
There was a form postback error. (User: xxxx, Form Name: yyyyyyyy, IP: , Request:
http://asadadsas Request Form Template.xsn&SaveLocation=/somelocation, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:formname:-myXSD-2010-09-20T15-02-34, Type: KeyNotFoundException, Exception Message: The given key was
not present in the dictionary.)
I was successfully able to submit the form using InfoPath client but it is giving error in the browser.
Is there any way or configuration that I should do to resolve this issue.
Any suggesttion would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sharepoint Consultant from NY, USA

I have exactly the same problem. The form is supposed to be submitted to the SOAP Web service (http://servername/_vti_bin/ExcelService.asmx) using the SetCellA1 operation, works fine in InfoPath Filler, but when I try to submit it in the browser, I get this
error:

What might be wrong? Are there any InfoPath configurations that need to be done? And, do I need to save the connection to the Excel Service Service Application to a connection file?
Thanks,

SharePoint 2013 Excel Services Blue Spinning Icon After Re-Open

Troubleshooting an issue (or determine if it's a normal function) where Excel Services will open a external data connected excel file the first time and give a datasource error when attempting to update. After clearing the error message window manually I
close the open file with the x in the top right or back button and re-open. Once I re-open, excel services spins on the file for an infinite amount of time. Other excel files open without issue, only ones specifically with external data connections spin consistently.
I have removed the service application and re-created. The ULS logs show nothing beyond the attempt to refresh the data and open the file as they should. This is a new environment.
Is this part of the operation of Excel Services? Or is this specific to external data connections?

Which type data did you use? Was it SQL data or other data?
- SQL Data
What errror did you meet when you attempted to update?
- Refresh hadn't been configured yet. Received a "entitydatasource" error, i.e. couldn't refresh since it wasn't setup correctly.
How did you configure the external data connection for excel service?
- Initially kerberos/WinAuth, later SSS.
Whether the other excel files you mentioned was the files without external data
- All files that have external data experience the issue.

Exporting a List to Excel to use for Excel Services WebPart (not working)

Hey everyone, here's the scenario. I'm trying to export a list to excel and save it to a library. All the connections are saved. Now. I want that excel file to render as a web part. When I make a change on the list and try to refresh the data connection
I get the error below. Please help
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY

Hi,
I did a test as the followings:
Create a list, and add some items into it.
Export the list into a Excel file, then upload the excel file to a library.
When I opened the file via Excel service, I saw the a yellow warning about unsupported features.
Then I created a wiki page, and add Excel Web Access web part and connect the web part to the excel file.
When I refresh all data conections, nothing happened.
From the article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823.aspx (they are similar with SharePoint 2013)
SharePoint lists are not supported for Excel service. So, it may cause this issue.
I suggest you click "Open in Excel" to open the file in Excel application, then refresh the data connection, and save back to SharePoint. Then after you refresh the page, the data of the Excel Web Access web part will refresh.
Thanks,
Wendy
