Install Excel as a Viewer.....

I am getting this error again and again whenever I am connecting my analyzer and I have tries reinstalling my MS Office 2007 again but that didn`t help.
Please suggest other means so that I can try them out for quick solution.

I had the same problem before.
It was because BW version and Support Package level was low. (BW 3.1 sp09)
Please check your BW version and Support Package level.

  • 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,

  • 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,

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

    Since installing CS6, jpg thumbnails viewed in Bridge lack color depth and contrast. When opened in Photoshop, the color and depth is normal. How can I correct the issue in Bridge? I have emptied my Cache and that has not corrected thed issue. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Unless using embedded thumbs, you need to set your ACR defaults, and make uncheck auto settings in preferences/camera raw.
