  • How to install excel as a viewer in bw.

    Hi,
    Not able to access Business Explorer in BI Server.Its showing the error :install excel as a viewer.please help me solve this.

    Hi,
    Please uninstall the SAP GUI completely and re-install the same. While re-installing please choose all option and before that you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and then install SAP GUI and at last install the latest patches for BI Add-on based on your SAP GUI version which can be downloaded from service market place.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Please install excel as a viewer

    Dear All,
    I am having the similar problem like many here before. Unable to Open the reports. RRMX is not working. Gives a message "Please instal excel as a viewer".
    I have read through all the posts related to this topic in this forum. Have gone through the OSS Note 160995. Have even tried to download the SAP BW 3.5 AddOn Patch on WIKI FAQ. But that patch is not downloading, seems corrupted or not existing. Have reinstalled and installed MS Office. Have reinstalled SAP Front end components also.
    None of the above seem to have solved my problem. Please help, am totally lost.

    Hi,
    The BEx Analyzer is an Add-on for Microsoft Excel. This sounds like a problem with your patch level, although it could also be an authorization problem. If it is a patch issue, you will need to get your Basis team to match the SAP GUI patch with the BEx you are running. If it is an authorizations issue, you will need to add the authorization object to view Workbooks. Either way, try running ST22 and see if it shows the error message. If it shows up here, it will have details about exactly what is going wrong and what you need to do to repair it. Hope this helps somewhat.
    Cheers,

    Hello Gurus
    I am getting error Error 109 : MaxL api instance is not Active while expanding essbase server in EAS console.
    I am using EPM 11.1.2.1 on Windows server 2008 x64 with MS Office 2007 x32

    2. Then I reinstalled excel add-in and it started working properly and EAS was also working fine.
    3. But after restarting VM, EAS is not working, it is giving error like "Error 109 : MaxL api instance is not Active"

  • Errors for excel - excel service unavailable. Event Viewer has error event ids - 5239 and 5231.

    Errors for excel - excel service unavailable. Event Viewer has error event ids - 5239 and 5231. 
    We restart the excel service app and it solves. Looking for permanent solution.
    Regards,
    Kunal

    To resolved the issue do a simple restart. 
    Restart the server
    Before restarting, verify that this problem occurs often. It may be an intermittent problem that is automatically corrected and does not require you to restart the server.
    If the problem occurs often, restart the server running Excel Services Application.
    If the problem continues to occur often, and restarting the server did not correct the problem, confirm that the hardware of the server is functioning correctly, or reinstall Excel Services Application and re-add the server to the server farm.
    Here's the article with the explanation: Error communicating with Excel Services

  • Gauges for Excel - Power View

    Hi,
    does anyone know free gauges for Excel/Power View like speedometer, thermometer, etc.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    As far as I know, the error message "Bing error: Map tiles not found. A connection to Bing could not be established " will pop up when Powerview map can't access the Bing map server. (Quote From: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/774162/cache-power-view-map )
    Thus, I suppose that this issue might be caused by your Network environment changed. When you used the power view map in your company desktop, it might be set some proxy server to connect the Bing map server, but when you put the daskboard to your laptop,
    the proxy server had not been set, the powerview map can't find the right port to access the Bing map server. Please check the different network/proxy server settings between work computer and laptop computer.
    Hope it's helpful.

  • Excel Interactive View (excel mashup) - Is it out of service?

    Hello,
    I have an online report based on Excel Interactive View. The last week I noticed that it didn't work. I checked my code looking for bugs, but it is correct.
    So, I tried to check the status of the Excel Interactive View in the official site "www.excelmashup.com" but when I clicked on the green button (with the text "Excel Interactive View") I saw the same error message:
    "We're sorry. We're having trouble preparing the data right now"
    I've been seen this error from 10/10/13, before that day, I remember the interactive view was working fine.
    I repeated the test on Chrome v 29.0.1547.76, Mozilla Firefox
    24.0 and IE 10.0.9200.16721 with the same results from that date.
    To give you more details, if I click in the button "Excel Interactive View" at the site "www.excelmashup.com" using IE10 I see the next log on the browser's console:

    In order to discard network issues when my browser request to the Office's Webservers (my local tests are made from Buenos Aires, Argentina), I repeated the experience in a server installed on the USA getting the same error.
    I guess if the service "GenerateWorkbookFromHtml" is out of service in the Office's Webservers because it is throwing a http error 500.
    Can anyone open the example without problems?
    Thanks in

  • Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace

    Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace.
    Error :Web launch operation has been cancelled.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issues

    I realized that I can put a block in WebI and then I can pull that in excel alongside of static header, after putting the question.
    My interest to know whether it is by design in XI 3.0 or it is an issue. But by the replies it seems to me like it is by design.
    @Anis: I can't go for header as part of Body. Because this report is viewed in Web by many other users. I can't have separate report for Live office, it is a restriction for me. If I use the header in body, it wont look good I guess.

  • Error in Excel 2007.

    We have a user who gets an error when he will start the BPC for Excel in Excel 2007. And he can not open the BPC for Excel. The following error message appears: "In order to open the file Ev4Excel.xla the file had to be repaired or it was forced to remove unredable materials. The workbook has lost its VBA projects, ActiveX controls and all other programming functions." And it can not open the BPC for Excel
    The user also has Excel 2003 installed on his computer and if he uses Excel 2003, it works.
    Is it possible to have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on the same computer and run SAP BPC against both
    Are there some Excel add-ins that you have to install when you install the Excel 2007?

    Hi,
    In SAP BPC installation guide you will find below recommendation
    Note: In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must
    install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider, which you can get from the
    Microsoft website. The provider must be installed on the Application server.
    This provided in 25mb in size. We installed it on our application server. but still some errors with excel 2007 is not resolved. Finally we tried with office 2003, but still error continued. When we moved back to office 2007, some excel-addins which were available earlier went missing.

  • SSIS 2012: SSIS Error Code "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

    Hi,
    This is kind of weird issue that I am experiencing with excel connection manager in SSIS 2012. This issue occurs sometimes but when I close and re-open SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools - newer BIDS) then this issues goes off temporarily.
    Just FYI, through SSDT environment I executed the package successfully with both settings Run64bit runtime setting to Yes and No when error does not occur.
    So far I have installed
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 (Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable).
    I still remember for older versions of SQL Server (2005 & 2008) that I have executed Excel connection SSIS packages with Run64bit runtime = false i.e. in 32-bit mode. As far as I know I think Excel 64-bit issue has been resolved with SQL Server
    2012 release.
    Here is the detail of error message:
    TITLE: Package Validation Error
    Package Validation Error
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [2]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection
    Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    Error at Data Flow Task [SSIS.Pipeline]: Excel Source failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.

    An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Unspecified error".
     (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
    Here are my environment details:
    SQL Server 2012 {Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3368.0 (X64) } , Excel 2010 (32-bit). I am developing SSIS code on Virtual desktops with Windows 7 32-bit OS.
    Also it occurred to me that since Virtual Desktops are on Shared Infrastructure, the source files and SSIS packages (code) can be on Shared drives for e.g. \\<Corpnet>\userdata\<Corp_Users_Grp>\<Username>\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Integration
    Services Project2\Integration Services Project2\Package.dtsx.
    Does this kind of Shared drives have any impact to give this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    P.S.: I had look at this forum question -->
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/903bbe1d-e070-4c43-9d3b-0a5193550029/64bit-error-in-excel-connection-manager-in-ssis

    Hi Arthur,
    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, it looks like SSIS still has bunch of issues with Excel files like as follows:
    1) Some times excel source files cannot be parsed by excel source connection manager.
    2) For derive column conversion, we can't replace the existing column. rather, we have to add the derived column as " add as new column" which is tough to manage  while destination mapping.
    3) If an column in excel contains a data which is not of the data type assigned for the column in excel, the excel source reads that data as "null". For the same, we can't validate the data and redirect the erroneous data in reject file.  <-- For
    this we tried IMEX setting also
    4) In multi-tab/sheet excel file, excel source is unable to detect a tab and identify the metadata of the excel.
    I am also checking Microsoft connect for Excel issues with SSIS 2012(https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/SearchResults.aspx?SearchQuery=excel#&&PageIndex=22
    As worst case scenario, I am thinking of converting Excel to CSV file or Flat text file. (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2772/importing-data-from-excel-using-ssis--part-2/).
    Do you think it is advisable to convert Excel into CSV or Flat file.
    Thanks,
    Ketan
