I would like to execute an existing BW report from Excel (using VBA).

I would like to execute an existing BW report from Excel (using VBA) and download the results into Excel.  I understand that there is an Excel Add-In which (I believe) should allow me to do this.  I am an experienced user of Excel / VBA but I have virtually no experience with SAP.  If someone could point me to any source of information or specific instructions I would be extremely appreciative.  I've done multiple searches on the internet but everything I find seems to assume more knowledge of SAP and SAP acronyms than I possess. 

Paul,
If your company (or your client's company) has an SAP license (I assume this is the case, since there would be no other reason for you to want to access an SAP system using Excel), there is a person in your company who can request an ID for you.  It is called a SAP Service Marketplace userid, more commonly called an 'S' number.  This person in your company is usually a Basis Administrator.  Go to your SAP Basis team and ask them for access to Service Marketplace.
The common solution for your Excel analysis problem is to install the Bex Analyzer on your PC.  You will need these same guys (Basis Team) to help you with getting the required SAP access, and to install the associated SAP software onto your PC.
In the meantime, here is some bedtime reading for you.

  • Good morning, i would like to know how to take pictures from iphoto and put them in a folder on desktop

    Good morning: would like to know how to take pictures from my iphoto and put them in a folder on my desktop

    To take photos from iPhoto and put them onto a folder on Desktop, first create a folder on Desktop. Right-click on Desktop and create a new folder.
    Then, open iPhoto, and you have two ways to export photos:
    1. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key (or go to Edit menu > Select All, if you want to copy all photos), and then, drag them to the folder on Desktop.
    2. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key, go to File menu > Export, and follow the steps.
    You can choose the one you prefer

  • Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

    Good day,
    I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
    When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

    Good day abrieb93050306,
    I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
    As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
    Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
    This will probably resolve your issue.
    Let me know if you still experience any issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

    I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

    Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

  • I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

    I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

    Hi;
    Is the form a form that was shared with you or one that you created originally?  The History you see is from the point you had access to the form, so if the form was shared with you it would only show history from that point forward.
    If this doesn't explain what you see you can email me the link to your form at [email protected] and I will see if we can see anything.
    Thanks,

    It read it already, but it did not mention about the country. I can saw "Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China". but it does not mean that the iPhone comes from US or China. I mean that what model come from which country. thanks for your help anyway.

  • I just got iTunes Match and I would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data?

    I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

    Hi,
    Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

  • Is it possible to save an iPhone back up and access the files later if needed?  I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone.  Is this possible?

    I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them.  I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file.  Is this possible?

    Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup.  Check in the app store.

    I would like to ask the following question. I am using mac os x 10.9 maverics me quicktime player version 10.3. Can I trim a video recording without having to press the pause or save it as a file? Or can I add a new recording to a video file? Thanks in advance

    Well,
    I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
    Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
    To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
    If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

  • I would like to tare (rezero) the input signal from a forceplate (glorified

    I would like to tare (rezero) the input signal from a forceplate (glorified scale) so that the base signal is set to zero, e.g.: a button on the front panel that resets the signal to zero prior to getting a measurement from a subject.
    We calibrate the force plate through labview and input our new equation into our scaling and mapping box which sets the signal to zero (or near zero) and the change in newtons (force reading) is accurate but when the application is closed and reopened the signal does not always start at zero (-400 to +1200 N), while the change in newtons is still accurate. I am NO engineer, I have Forest Gumped my way into getting some nice working VIs but I can't seem to find this function.
    Thank you very much for your time.

    Maybe that is the limitation of Acquire Input Data.vi.The vi can't identify the Unformal key.
    You can try to use Event structure and set to listen "key down" event.
    There are two terminals VKey, ScanCode will sent out the information when you press key.
    There are two pictures in attached file, 2.jpg will show you the detail.
    Good luck.
