Hi Mahendra,
Confirm if you are getting the same issue outside Xcelsius  i.e in the Microsoft Excel.
Try refreshing the Live office objects in MS excel using the option "Refresh all objects "and then import  .xls it in Xcelsius.

  • Automatic Refresh of Xcelsius dashboard with Live Office connection

    Hi,
    I have an Xcelsius dashbaord which has Live Office connectivity to universe query. Universe is build on a Bex query. Now, I need to auto refresh my dashboard say every 15 seconds.
    Under 'Data > Connection' menu, I could find 'Refresh every' option for refreshing the dashboard at specified interval. However, it doesn't seem to work. Also, the user guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 indicates that this auto refresh is only for  QaaWS, Web Services, and XML Data connections only.
    Can someone let me know if this is still the case? Is it possible to have auto refresh for LO connection ? If not, what is the best alternative? I believe QaaWS would work.
    Thanks,
    Bhargav

    Well its still possible to refresh LO connection every 15second. You can use play selector which counts 0-15. Then bind your LO connection refresh option to Play Selector's destination, make it When value becomes 15.

  • Error #1009 Live Office Connections

    Hi,
    I created a dashboard in Xcelsius 2008, with live office connections.  When I'm testing (select an options with combo box, and show me tool bars, datasheets....)   it  on Infoview, the following message appears by surprise on a grey background:
    "An error has ocurred.
    For more information, contact the file creator or your system administrator.
    Error: Error #1009
    Connection type: Live Office Connection"
    When I try again (the same combination) , the results appears correctly.  
    Apparently, the live office connection doesn't return all query results at the first time.
    Any idea what's the problem? and how can I solved it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You Didn't mentioned the Xcelsius version you are using.
    I presume that you need to install the latest fix pack. This fix pack 3.1 addressed this problem.  I would suggest you to install all in a row (Hot Fix 3.4 is the latest one).
    Refer below document.

  • Problem with Cross Tab in Live Office Connectivity

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Live Office Connectivity to build a Xcelsius Dashboard.
    The webi Report has data in 4 cross tabs which comes to Xcelsius as 4 LO Connections.
    The size of the Xcelsius Doc is around 900K. I am getting "Xcelcius has stopped working " error when i preview the document.
    Earlier i have built dashboards on Webi Report which used Verticle tables(more than 1 MB in size). I am able to preview them and generate SWF without any problem.
    I am working on Xcelsius SP3 on Vista OS with 2 GB RAM.
    Is using Cross Tab, responsible for the Application Crash or any other reason?
    Please help me in solving the above problem at the earliest.
    Please let me know if you need any further information on the same.
    TIA,
    Bhargava Bommidi.

    Bhargava,
    Webi cross tabs via Live Office connection should work. Pls see this [post|Re: Does Xcelsius support Cross Tab report via Live Office?; for more detail.
    Pls let me know what version of Xcelsius you are using because this error is known to popup when some of the dlls are not registered as well.
    Cheers,
    Ryan

  • Pivot tables in excel with Live Office

    Once I save a business objects XI R2 web intelligence report to excel format and schedule to users the excel which the users receive should have pivot tables and users should be able to add any fields of their choice in the report and view it similar to the excel pivot tables.As far as I know I will be able to achive this functionality using Live Office.Is there any other way how I can achieve this and also has anyone worked on this kind of requirement and can confirm this will work without any issues with live office?

    It is not possible to schedule the WebI reports in Excel format and use a predefined excel template for this.
    What your users CAN do is to add their own pivot tables from the scratch in the excel file that was generated and delivered to them according to the schedule.
    What you can do is use LiveOffice (have to install the plug-in on all user workstations though), bind the instances and deliver your users an excel file, which uses liveoffice to bind the scheduled webI report instances (eg. the latest instance). Your users can add the desired pivot table functionality on their own or you can predefine this in the excel file yourself.
    Which version of BO do you use?

  • Problem with Live Office Web Services

    Hi@all,
    we have a problem with the Live Office connection options.
    The Webservice URL entry has an error: "Verion conflict: Your Live office client needs a newer version of Business Objects Web Services".
    I have installed the newest SP (SP3) for XI 3.1 for my Live Office Client and for the BO client tools but it do not work. Has anybody an idea?
    Thanks.
    Thomas

    Any solution for this? We have the same issue.
    Got resolved by recreating the webi document from scratch and the live connections.
    But this issue really scares me as I have did not see any reason for this to happen and it is very inconsistant.

  • BICS environment  with live Office or QAWS connection

    we have a scenario where Hierarchy's  needs to be incorporated in the xcelsius dashboards, currently we have dashboards using live office and  using webi query we are building  hiearchey (L00, L01, L02, ..., L09) and we developed a  custom xcelsius component to display as Hiearchey  dropdown.
    Now  we are moving to use BICS environment,  how can we leverage the Hierarchy like  senario (Hier is auth relevant) ??
    is there any way we can leverage   live office or some other form of connections  when publishing to Net weaver Portal ??

    Hi Stratos,
    it already takes about 15 minutes to display the option window.
    When the option window appears and I enter my credentials for the login, that login requires another 10 minutes but finally succeeds.
    After that the import of BO content works quite well. The delay only occurs during the starting phase of Live Office.
    It seems that the whole application is not working properly.
    The thing is, I already tried to reinstall Live Office once and the delay times are still there.
    Another idea?

  • Live Office Connection not showing Go to Object Option

    Hi All,
    i m using Xcelsius Enterprise 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I m having a live office connection. I had added the live office connection from a Webi Report, Binded the Prompt and created a live office connection to the server. The report was working fine.
    After a couple of days when I open the report again I find the Go to Object has been disabled in the report and the Modify Object shows only Properties option. The Refresh Object also does not work.
    Could you tell me what has gone wrong and how to fix it.
    Thanks

    I am still on Xcelsius 2008 but faced similar refresh disabled problems. May be this helps:
    These days I maintain a Live Office Excel spreadsheet and import it into Xcelsius after any kind of changes.
    You can maintain the data connections part within Xcelsius as required, but treat Live Office Excel report as a separate unit and set up all the refresh properties at report part level before you import it into and start developing the Xcelsius.
    This way the refresh never gets affected and it works every time.

  • Error when running Dashboard with BPC 10 Connection

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to preview my created Dashboard with BPC 10 Connection. Upon clicking Preview I encountered an "UnSupported Excel Function" error.
    When I clicked OK and tried to refresh my report, another error came up:
    Have you encountered these errors before?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Joana

    Hi Joana,
    Please refer knowledge base article 1741089 - Dashboard design error message: Unsupported Excel function EPMOlapMember - which says the same:
    Cause
    This is normal product behavior. Only native Excel functions which are
    supported by Xcelsius should be used for generating the dashboard.
    The embedded spreadsheet does not support all Excel functions. It does not
    support macros, conditional formatting, linking to other external spreadsheets,
    and some formula functions.
    Resolution
    Use only functions that are supported by Dashboard Design (Xcelsius).
    For a full list of supported functions, see the section Supported Excel
    functions in the Dashboards and Presentation Design User Guide available form http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_dashD_user_en.pdf.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to preset the BusinessObjects Enterprise logon with Live Office

    Is there a way to define the enterprise logon information including password within an Xcelsius Dashboard that is using a Live Office Connector?
    My scneario is that I have a spread sheet that is using Live Office to connect to a WebI report.  I need the dashboard to go out and grab the lastest instance of the scheduled WebI report on load.
    I can do this but only with a logon prompt.  My clients are upper level management and they will not be interested in this dashboard if they have to enter a password just to view the information.
    It appears that solutions using Flash Vars with .NET or child SWF are available, but I would really like something simpler.
    For Example, if I use a Web Service Connector I can preset user id and password information right in the properties of the object.  Can this be accomplished in a Live Office Connector object?
    Thanks,
    Ty

    As far as I know, there is no way to hard code the username and password for LiveOffice.
    One thing you can do is use the BOBJ SDK to get the CELogonToken and pass that set that as a FlashVar on the SWF (in the OBJECT or EMBED tag).
    The other solution would be to use QaaWS instead as the data source then you can hard code the user name and password.

  • Problem showing BI Publisher Report in Dashboard with Prompt

    Hi,
    I've created a BI Publisher report using BI Answer as data source. For getting some xml files for building the rtf Template I've set my filter datas to fixed values.
    I've created my dashboard with my BIP report and a query from BI Answer.
    All was shown correctly now. Now I've also implemented a prompt setting my filter datas.
    The BI Answer part is still shown correctly, but my BIP report shows the following error:
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
    What's wrong??? Please help ...
    Thanks
    chrissy

    I think I know why it is not working ...
    I've 7 BI Answer queries for getting all the required datas for my report.
    So I have 7 data sets which I've set to concatenated data-soruce in BI Publisher. Normally parameters and LOVs are disabled, when BI Answer is used for data set, but it isn't anymore when data source is concatenated and so don't use anymore my prompted values ...
    How can I use concatenated data source in BIP with prompted values???
    If this isn't possible I#m back to one of my other threads ...
