Installing Essbase Excel Add-in on 11.1.2 and Excel 2007

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing the excel add-in (essexcln.xll) on Office 2007 and 11.1.2? I've been trying over the weekend, so that I can start using the vba api with essbase and I'm having no luck. I've tried the essexcln.xll at (installed drive)\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\essbase\bin and I'm getting a "file is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message box, and a whole spreadsheet of random characters.
I've also tried installing the add-in through the patch created for 11.1.1.3. The add-in works, but if I try to use the API to open an outline, I get an "outline too new" error.
Anyone have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi John,
Thanks for the help. So I've tried installing the add-in both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and I'm still getting the "The file you are trying to open, 'essexcln.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" message box. I've tried running excel as an administrator, then adding the add-in through excel's add-in menu.
When I open the file, the first line of the sheet says: This program cannot be run in dos mode.
Also, both servers are 64-bit. I'm unsure if this could affect the add-in working.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Cannot view Master Data Services Models with Excel Add-In, using MSSQServer 2014 Trial and Excel 2010 (non-trial)

I'm using using MSSQServer 2014 Trial with Master Data Services installed. I have connected to the MDS server with the Excel 2010 MDS Add-In.
Models are not listed in the Add-In's Explorer browser. When I open the MDS server with IE, no models are listed either.
I can view them locally on the server in IE.
There are no remote DB access issues.
Is it just that the 2014 Trial version does not supply this info remotely??

Was a Model Permission issue. Fixed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487055.aspx
Would be good if the interface would show some kind of alert to that fact.

Essbase Excel Add-In (11.1.2.1) and Office 2010

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Essbase Excel Add-In (v11.1.2.1) is compatible in Office 2010 (64-bit)?
I found some search results from about 6-8 months ago saying that it was supported in Office 2010, but not in the 64-bit edition. Does anyone know if this has changed and if this is in fact supported?
If not supported has it been tested to at least work?
Thank you in advance.

Have a read of the following on Oracle Support - Support for Office 2010 in Essbase Excel Add-In and Smart View [ID 1191235.1]

Does mac have a word and excel equivalent, does mac have a word and excel equivalent, does mac have a word and excel equivalent

does mac have a word and excel equivalent or do I need to use Windows for Mac and get the software separately?

Mac has Pages and Numbers, which are mostly compatible with word and excel. Both are available in the App Store for $20 each.
You can also buy Microsoft's office for Mac suite.

Installed lion to learn it does not run word and excel

This is crazy. I feel like going back to the older version. Why would it not run my microsoft/mac software.

Newer versions of microsoft office are supported (2008 and 2011), however anything older than that is a PowerPC application and will not work with lion. I have office 2004 and that no longer works so I know how you feel. Luckily, nyou have a number of options. You can use a number of free services such as google docs or open office. You could also upgrade to a newer version of Microsoft Office. You could also purchase the iWork applications from the Mac App Store for 20 dollars each. These applications can open office documents as well as save in a microsoft office format. Finally, you can downgrade your OS back to Snow Leopard.

Memory usage of excel stays high after Macro is executed and excel crashes after trying to close it

Hi,
I'm trying to resolve an issue with an excel based tool. The macros retrieve data from an Oracle database and do calculations with the data. They also open and write into files in the same directory. The macros all run and finish the calculations. I can
continue to use and modify the sheet. I can also close the workbook, however excel memory usage I see in the windows Task manager stays elevated.If I close Excel it says: Excel stopped working and then it tries to recover information...
I assume something in the macro did not finish properly and memory was not released. I would like to check what is still open (connection, stream or any other object) when I close the workbook I would like to have a list of all still used memory. Is there
a possibility to do so.
Here the code I'm using, its reduced to functions which open something. Functions
get_v_tools() and get_change_tools() are same as get_client_positions().

Excell Add-in

Hello,We used Essbase 6.1 installed on an unix server .We have developped some reports with Analyzer that the end-users can see with the Hyperion Analyzer java Applet.Those users would like also to play with the Excell add-in.How to distribute to the end-users only this Excell Add-in ? Where I can download it ? We do not want to install on each client the full Windows Essbase software .ThanksChantal

The add-in is available via the www.hyperion.com support site. In order for a user to use it, it needs to be setup on their system. That's not as hard it may sound.1. Run the setup program for the add-in and have it install a shared version of the add-in to a network drive that the users can see.2. On the client systems, they will need 2 changes made to their paths: (A) ARBORPATH needs to be added and set to the location of the shared files (e.g. M:\essbase) (B) The PATH needs to have the path to the BIN directory added to the front of the path setting (e.g. PATH=M:\Essbase\Bin;C:\Winnt;etc.)3. Then the user launches Excel and from the TOOLS menu choose ADD-INS and navigates to the BIN directory (e.g. M:\Essbase\BIN) and selects the Excel add-in file.From that point on, Excel will load the add-in file every time Excel launches. If you need to update the add-in at a later date, you just reinstall a shared version of it over top of the existing version. No changes would be needed on the client side.Hope this helps.

Excel Add-In with WorkbookOpen event causes error in Word

EDIT: New information
I have narrowed the problem to a specific code. Following code produces the error message (see below in the original part):
public partial class ThisAddIn
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
void Application_WorkbookOpen(Excel.Workbook Wb)
int i = 0;
private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
#region VSTO generated code
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InternalStartup()
this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
#endregion
It does not matter whether I unregister the WorkBookOpen event in the ThisAddIn_Shutdown method or not. Whenever this piece of code is present Word gives me the error.
It seems to be a bug in Excel. Can anyone test and confirm my assumption? Does anyone know a workaround?
ORIGINAL
I have a problem with my Excel add-in (VSTO) in a very specific situation. For some reason I can't debug the add-in when it is happening.
In Word it is possible to insert and edit OLE objects. In this specific situation a user wants to insert and edit an Excel sheet (INSERT -> Table -> Excel Spreadsheet).
Let's say that Excel is not running. In an ideal world the Excel process is started by Word when the user edits the spreadsheet. The Excel process is terminated when the Word document is closed. This works fine, if my Excel add-in is deactivated.
If the Excel add-in is activated the user cannot edit the spreadsheet in Word. An error with following message is shown within Word: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is
not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed". Also the Excel process which was started by Word is not terminated when closing the document or exiting Word. Excel started by the user does not give
any error message. No dialog is opened. The add-in works fine. So there must be an error with the Excel add-in when Excel is started by Word.
I can reproduce the error with and without an attached debugger (Visual Studio). But for some reason there is no exception caught by Visual Studio while the error is happening.
Can anyone help me how to investigate on that error?
Yavuz

Hi Yavuz,
Based on my investigatiton, when the Excel doesn't start up by user the add-in would shut down immediately. So when the workbook open event was fired the callback already be relreased.
As a workaround, we can use application.UserControl to detect whether the Excel applicaiton was started by user. And here is the code for your reference:
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
if(Application.UserControl)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
Please let me know whether it works for you.

Excel add-in 11.1.2.2 with Office 2010

Hi,
I have the certification grid but cannot find reference to this, can anyone point me at any official Oracle document that provides detail of whether Essbase Excel add-in is supported with Office 2010 (Excel) and if so if this requires a patch etc.
I have seen =>http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1288292048/Which+version+of+Essbase+Add-In+works+with+Office+2010
Thanks,
Robert.

In the matrix it highlights under Client Third Party Software for 11.1.2.2 that Office 2010 is supported, the only exception is "Essbase Spreadsheet Add-In only supports 32-bit Microsoft Office."

BPC for excel Add-in Conflict

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if there any known excel add-ins that conflict with BPC for Excel (v7) and how the conflicts manifest themselves.
I am currently specifically interested in conflicts with SAP BW BEx Analyser but would be interested in any others also.
Would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.
Many thanks

Usually, Crashing means excel will show crashing error message and restart it.
Excel will just return excel error message. NOT BPC or 3rd Party ADD_IN error message because it happened at the EXCEL while it is processing request from BPC addin and other 3rd partty Addin. (Of course BEX is SAP product. that's why BPC NW support BEX report in 7.5 but still it is not fully integrated with MS.)
Sometimes it happens when retriving data from BPC or sending data. As you know those are critical functionality of BPC.
Again, it depends on the addin but based on my experience, Hyperion Addin and BEX addin had a problem when it runs together with BPC addin. some simple addin might not have any issue but still recommendation is not using 3rd party addin because we don't know where the error comes.
Thank you.

Information of Print Area is missing in VB6 Addin of version Excel 2007 and Excel 2010

Hallo,
I have a problem with my old VB 6 COM Addin. My document has Print Area, but when I use my addin to open this document. The information of print area is lost.
This problem takes place only in the following situations.
If the PrintArea is set in Excel 2007 and 2010, it will be missing. But in Excel 2003 without problem.
From the code, the ".ActiveSheet.PageSetup.printArea" is always empty, although when the print area is configurate in Excel 2007 and 2010
What is the possible reason of this problem?
Thanks very much.

There are several things I don't follow in the details you gave
"I click an excel document in the third-part program and Excel 2007 will be open automatically"
- Describe the 3rd party program you open the workbook in if not Excel"
- What do you mean by "click and Excel document", what do you click and where is the document
- Why click on an Excel document (workbook, worksheet something else?) to get a 3rd party app to automate Excel, then does some other workbook load?
It's very confusing!
Did you try the code in VBA in the instance of the workbook whose sheet you want to return the Print Area
Re: Excel Object Library is 9.0
Did you set a reference to XL-9 in the test app with my code then transfer to a different system with 2007?
However, a ref to xl-9 shouldn't be a problem if the code compiled with that ref. If the app/dll is transferred to a different system it will pick up the Excel GUID in that system, which is exactly the same for all versions since Excel97. The only time it
would be an issue is if code compiled with a new object model is not supported when used with an older Excel object model.
The fact my code appears to work without error returning the message "Print Area not defined" suggests it is referring to a different workbook, ie one in which the Print-Area has not been defined. Double check which workbook it is referring to,
eg
Private Sub cbPrintArea_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, _
CancelDefault As Boolean)
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Dim s As String, s2 As String
On Error Resume Next
s = xlApp.Caption
If Err.Number Then
MsgBox "xlApp error " & vbCr & Err.Description
Exit Sub
End If
Set ws = xlApp.ActiveSheet
s2 = ws.Parent.Name & vbCr & _
ws.Name & vbCr & _
ws.Range("A1").Value & vbCr
If Err.Number > 0 Then
MsgBox "failed to reference ActiveSheet"
Else
s = ws.PageSetup.PrintArea
If Err.Number Then
MsgBox Err.Description
Else
If Len(s) = 0 Then s = "Print Area not defined"
MsgBox s2 & vbCr & s
End If
End If
End Sub
This should confirm the workbook name, activesheet name and value in A1 (before running maybe add the current time in A1 with ctrl-shift-; in the same workbook as the print-area has been defined)

Installing Essbase 11.1.1.2 Excel Add In (Client) and EAS on remote laptop

Hi,
Just got done installing Essbase 11.1.1.2 on a single Win 2003 server. Everything is installed EAS and Essbase Client. However, I need the Essbase Client to be ported to many users that are running Excel 2003. Also, i need EAS client to run from a laptop as instead of having to remote login to the server. My question is do I go through the same install process as I did for Essbase server? Or is there a smoother less complicated way to install. I think for the EAS client, it's ok but trying to roll the Excel Add In to hundreds of users, this could get messy.
Thanks

Systems management software like Microsoft SMS, Landesk or Radia should be able to help you to deploy software to many PC.
You can ask your IT whether they have this in place.
Otherwise, you can consider to use Smartview instead of Essbase Add-Ins, Smartview allow you to deploy the software to many PC and future upgrades.

Essbase excel add-on error after installing IR Studio.

Hyperion software compatibility issues?
Getting Essbase excel add-on error ("Error 1040007 Cannot find message database") after installing Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1. We are able to consistently reproduce the error on several workstations.
Any ideas?
Thx,
Ernesto

Try installing IR first, followed by the Essbase client. I think that worked for us. I can't recall what our path looked like in that scenario I just remember if we did it in that order things worked fine. I think Support said there is no certain "install order" that truly fixes the problem, that you have to manipluate the path by hand. But I'm pretty sure installing IR first worked in our enviro.
I do not know of a way to install IR Studio without the Essbase components, my understanding from Support is that they changed the product install thinking it was better this way, they learned after the fact it actually causes the problem you experienced. I would imagine they've changed/fixed the install behavior again in post 9.3.1 releases, but haven't heard.

Unable to find/install Essbase Excel Add-in

Hello,
When I installed Essbase on this computer, for some reason we did not have MS Office installed and so the Add-in was not installed automatically.
Now, I cannot find the essexeln.xll file in the bin director and Excel does not show it as an Add-in. The Excel version I am using is 9.0.3821 SR-1.
How do I install this add-in on my computer? Thanks.
-- Adi

Installing the Essbase Excel add-in is pretty harmless, and I assume this is on a PC not a server correct?
If this is 9.3.1 and if it's on a PC just run the setup.exe for the "Hyperion Essbase Release 931 Client Windows Installer" - do you still have that downloaded??
It should fit on a flash drive if you just want to take it over to the PC in question and run the setup.exe. There's the .exe, a .jar and a .inf file that comes with the install.
Be sure you're logged on as an Admin on the PC before you install, that's easiest.
Once you install do a reboot just for fun (probably not required but given the history of your install) then go back to your Start | Programs menu and run that register add-in item from above.
Good luck, hope this helps,
Karen
