Gauges for Excel-PowerPivot

Hi,
I'm searching free cost gauges for Excel 2013 + PowerPivot like a speedometer, thermometer and so on.
For now, I haven't found anything of interest.
Any helps to me please? Thanks

Hi pscorca,
Have you already considered trying to create your own gauges through methods such as these?
http://exceluser.com/excel_dashboards/bullet-graph.htm
http://stephanieevergreen.com/easiest-bullet-charts-in-excel/
http://www.excel-easy.com/examples/gauge-chart.html
It's likely that you'll need to combine Excel
Cube Functions with these methods to achieve the dynamic behaviour that we expect from Power Pivot dashboards and reports.

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 Trying to Load PowerPivot Add-in (version 11.1.3129.0) for Excel 2010 even after Uninstalltion of the Add-in.

Hi all,
I am trying to Package and deploy Powerpivot Add-in for Excel 2010. I have the Powerpivot_X86_(11.1.329.0) .MSI which installs Unattended, but Uninstallation will not remove entry from COM ADD-IN list in Excel and at first re-launch (even after
Power Pivot Uninstallation) it will try to load Powerpivot add-in and will give an error.
Downloading file.///c:/Program files (x86)/Microsoft analysis services/AS Excel Client/110/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Addin.VSTO did not succeed.
this above path is the [InstallDir] which gets wiped off with the unistallation of the .MSI. So, before uninstallation,I stop the excel process and am running a script to delete HKCU Add-in Reg key entries.
and also, I thought it may be implicitly loading the add-in from folder such as,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\XLstart
%appdata%\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
but nothing is installed there.
Second Issue
when I re-install,
it doesn't automatically show up in the Excel ribbon (even after reboot and even if regeistries are created at the same location) but instead we should add it through COM ADD-IN list in Excel Manually.
Appreciate any idea's and suggestion's.
P.S
is it possible to make it completely installed per system rather having user entries?

Guys, I think I solved the
issue:
Symptoms
1. Power Pivot SQL 2012 32-bit installed over the old version without
deinstalling it
2. Installed with a user with administrator rights
3. It worked under the profile with admin rights, it didn't work under the
normal users w/o admin rights and threw this error message: Downloading file.///c:/Program files (x86)/Microsoft analysis services/AS Excel Client/10/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Addin.VSTO
did not succeed.
4. In the admin profile, it went to the path "110": C:/Program
Files (x86)/Microsoft Analysis Services/AS Excel
Client/110/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList.vsto
5. In the normal profile, it went to the - wrong - "10" path:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Analysis Services/AS Excel
Client/10/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList.vsto
SOLUTION
1. ADMIN: Installed VSTO 4.0
2. ADMIN: Checked if the .NET Programmability Support was installed - it was -
if not, install it!
3. NORMAL USER: Create a .reg file (Backup your registry before!) and
use it UNDER THE NORMAL USER!!!
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList]
"Description"="Microsoft SQL Server PowerPivot for Microsoft Excel"
"FriendlyName"="PowerPivot for Excel"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
"Manifest"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Analysis Services\\AS
Excel Client\\110\\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Addin.vsto|vstolocal"
"CartridgePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Analysis
Services\\AS OLEDB\\110\\Cartridges\\"
4. NORMAL USER: Rename the registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList"
into
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User
Settings\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList_old"
5. NORMAL USER: Start up Power Pivot and it should
work now!
Analysis
IMHO the issue lies in the fact, that the Power Pivot
installer creates two problems:
The first issue is that the path to the add-in under
the NORMAL user is simply wrong and points to a wrong location (the
"10" in the path). In the admin profile, where it was originally
installed, it points to the "110" path which is correct.
The second issue is that the installation procedure
somehow needs to create a registry key (the one under point 4 in the solution)
to complete it self and if this key already exists it fails to install and
throws up weird error messages. If you delete or rename this key, it is created
again (exactly in the same way) but then everything works out.
Hope this
helps!

PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010

Could I ask a couple of questions about the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010?
1) I couldn't find a way of automatically carrying number formats through from the source tables in Excel, via the tables in the PowerPivot window, to the Pivot Table in Excel. For example I have £7.20 in a source table, but this appears as £7.2 in
the Power Pivot window and 7.2 in the Pivot Table in Excel (3 different formats). Is it possible to get the value to appear
automatically as £7.20 in all 3 places?
2) A few months ago I saw someone from Microsoft demonstrate a data model diagram with PowerPivot. I couldn't see this in the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010. Is it only available with Excel 2013?
Many thanks.

1) Number formats have to be done manually,
    in three different places.
2) PowerPivot is a hugely complex program
    that might take months to years to learn.
    A simple demo is not going to accomplish much.
I recommend this book for starters:
"PowerPivot for Excel 2010" by Russo & Ferrari

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan

Error in running a function to convert coordinates in degrees to decimal for EXCEL VBA

For your information, I have 3 cross-posts regarding this question - and all I can said there is still no firm solution regarding this error.
1) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27634586/error-in-running-a-function-to-convert-coordinates-in-degrees-to-decimal-for-exc/27637367#27637367

and the story of the error is as below:
Currently I am working on VBA excel to create a widget to verify coordinates whether it lies under the radius of ANOTHER predefined and pre-specified sets of coordinates.
In the module, I want to convert the coordinates from degrees to decimal before doing the calculation - as the formula of the calculation only allow the decimal form of coordinates.
However, each and every time I want to run the macros this error (Run-time error '5', invalid procedure call or argument) will appear. Then, the debug button will bring me to below line of coding:
degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))
For your information, the full function is as below:
Function Convert_Decimal(Degree_Deg As String) As Double
'source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213449
Dim degrees As Double
Dim minutes As Double
Dim seconds As Double
Degree_Deg = Replace(Degree_Deg, "~", "°")

minutes = Val(Mid(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") + 2, _
InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "'") - InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 2)) / 60
seconds = Val(Mid(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "'") + _
2, Len(Degree_Deg) - InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "'") - 2)) / 3600
Convert_Decimal = degrees + minutes + seconds
End Function
Thank you.
Your kind assistance and attention in this matter are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Nina.

You didn't give an example of your input string but try the following
Sub test()
Dim s As String
s = "180° 30' 30.5""""" ' double quote for seconds
Debug.Print Deg2Dec(s) ' 180.508472222222
End Sub
Function Deg2Dec(sAngle As String) As Double
Dim mid1 As Long
Dim mid2 As Long
Dim degrees As Long
Dim minutes As Long
Dim seconds As Double ' or Long if only integer seconds
sAngle = Replace(sAngle, " ", "")
mid1 = InStr(sAngle, "°")
mid2 = InStr(sAngle, "'")
degrees = CLng(Left$(sAngle, mid1 - 1))
minutes = CLng(Mid$(sAngle, mid1 + 1, mid2 - mid1 - 1))
seconds = Val(Mid$(sAngle, mid2 + 1, 10)) ' change 10 to 2 if only integer seconds
Deg2Dec = degrees + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600
End Function
As written the function assumes values for each of deg/min/sec are included with unit indicators as given. Adapt for your needs.
In passing, for any work with trig functions you will probably need to convert the degrees to radians.

FR Report Print Layout Setup for Excel

Hello All,
Is there any way to setup the Page Layout for Excel export of the report.The user will export the report from HTML view on Workspace to Excel from File Menu options.After viewing the report in excel the user should be able to directly print the report without setting the page size and all.
The Page Set Up option seems to be working for PDF but not in excel.

Hi AG,
As far as I know, this option is limited to pdf view. It could a nice enhancements in the upcoming versions as I've heard this request many times from various clients.

BO Analysis for Excel – How to connect to SAP BW

Hi Gurus,
We recently upgrade to BO 4.1 (from 3.1). And want to start to use Analysis for Excel.
We are little unclear how to connect from Analysis for Excel to SAP BW 7,3.
From Analysis select “Select Data Source” Then get a pop-up “Logon to SAP BussinessObjects BI Platform” with User, Password and Web Service URL. All those are blank. For the Web Service URL there is a message “Error while checking availability of SAP BussinessObjects BI Platform system”
If choose “Skip” then get SAP Logonpad and can log on to BW. From there I can choose the BW queries directly.
What is the best practice to connect from Analysis for Excel to SAP BW?
Is it not possible to connect to the BO server? And choose OLAP connection from there to connect to BW?
If so, is something missing in our setup?
Regards,
Reynir

Yes you need to define an OLAP connection of you are connecting to BW through the BIP - see tutorial http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-20625
You can also connect directly to BW without going through BIP
I also recommend searching before you post per SCN rules - there are many posts about creating OLAP connections

Scheduling issue with Analysis for Excel

Hi,
I am trying to schedule a workbook in Analysis for Excel from CMC. The schedule always fails when I uncheck the APPLY DEFAULT FORMATS in the components tab of the Display Analysis. The schedule works fine if this box is checked. Has anyone come across this issue?
Analysis Excel Version: 1.4.5.2837
Thanks,
Kal

Hi Tammy,
Sorry for getting back to you so late. We are right now BIP-add on SP5 for Analysis Office. We are planning to have BIP-add on SP6 next week. Dont know if this will solve my issue but something to try.

"Authorization error" while accessing Multiprovider in Analysis for excel tool

Hi,
We are using "Analysis for excel" 1.4 version. My users are executing all queries out of any MP with out any issue. But while accessing Multi Provider in "Analysis for excel" tool they are geeting "Authorization" error. Any suggestions please.
Thanks,
Deepa.

Hi Deepa,
I'm facing the same problem, which basically is no issue but expected behaviour?!
Reason: When allowing access on Multiproviders via queries you probably restrict the data selection with authorization variables, where users have to select characteristics they are allowed to see.
In that way, you prevent that users can see data for which they are not authorized.
Finally, if the direct selection via Multiprovider was allowed without any restriction, your whole authorization concept would be for the birds :-)
In my case, I wanted to give users just an overview of the "last update dates" of several infocubes:
=SAPGetSourceInfo("DS_1"; "DataSourceName")
=SAPGetSourceInfo("DS_1"; "LastDataUpdate")
(... we all know that Multis can display only the oldest load date of any of all Cubes below....)
I even deleted the cross-tabs, and kept only the reference to the DS_x ... But still, when users try to refresh the data sources they are not even allowed to select pure technical Cube Information :-/
Regards, Martin
PS: If anyone else has a different idea as solution to my problem, just let me know :-)

Preventing automatic scientific notation conversion for excel o/p of bi pub

I have a column in a query that contains a mixture of numbers and letters and hyphens. If the only letter is E, then I get scientific notation instead of the actual text,when I run the report for excel output and open it in excel.
For example:
185701E-02 becomes 1.86E+03 in the excel output of the report
4962E6 becomes 4.96E+09
will be really grateful if anyone can help

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
Error message
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See
server logs for more details.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. (System)
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (System)
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (System)
BUTTONS:
OK
Bn

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!

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

Beginner installing SQL Server 2014 for Excel Data Mining

Hello, I'm a complete beginner with servers but Im desperately trying to gain access to the SQL server for use with the data mining addin for excel.
Could someone please help. When I try to make a connection in Excel by choosing DATA MINING> <No Connection> New> it then asks me for a Server Name in the connect to Analysis Services box. How can I find out what my Sever name is please? I have
tried all sorts of names that I have found such as SQLEXPRESS or localhost but nothing works. It also tells me to 'Ensure that the Server is running'. Another error message I receive: No connection can be
made because 'the target machine actively refused it'.
I would be really grateful for some troubleshooting tips.

Work around for Excel's array formulae?

I have an Excel spreadsheet which I have built over many years to manage maintenance tasks of my boat. I would like to convert this to run on Numbers. Unfortunately I can't find a work-around for Excel's "Array Formulas".
The column headers of my spreadsheet contain maintenance tasks (plus data on how frequently by days or engine hours these jobs need to done). When I complete a maintenance task, I log the date and engine hours in a new row with an "x" to signify that the job is done. Excel then looks up the date/engine hours when each job was last done (ie the lowest "x") and then uses conditional formatting to highlight the column headers of which jobs are overdue. Is there a work around for this in Numbers?
I attach an image shot of my Excel spreadsheet which may help:

Hi Rich,
Some made-up dates.
If you have multiple x's in a column, change all but the most recent to "Done" or something other than x This approach looks for the date in Column A that matches a single x in a task column.
This example works on years. I hope you change your oil and filter more often .
One Header Row and four Footer Rows. Enter Years between services (D9) from the keyboard.
To find the date of the last service (the only x in Column D)
D10 contains this formula:
=INDEX($A,MATCH("x",D,0))
You can Fill Right to other columns.
"Years since" (D11) contains this formula:
=YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(D10)
"Alert" (D12) contains this formula:
=IF(D11>D9,"Hey, You!", "OK")
Conditional Formatting in D12 sets the text to red if it equals "Hey, You!"
It would be best to combine these steps into one complex formula. Numbers is slowed down with each Header or Footer in a Table.
Regards,
Ian.
