Is there a spreadsheet add-in 9i OLAP

Is there a spreadsheet add-in available to access OLAP cubes for the 9i database. Oracle Express has a spreadsheet add-in that allows ad hoc queries. Is there something similar for the new 9i OLAP option?

Dear Nathan,
Regarding to OLAP question, you should post your question to OLAP forum @ OLAP
Thanks

  • Saved Selections missing from Spreadsheet Add-in

    Hi,
    One of my end users is having a problem with the Oracle Spreadsheet Add-In that no-one else seems to be having and I'm at a loss for what to suggest to him.
    Yesterday he encountered some network related problem which left it impossible for the Spreadsheet Add-in to connect to the AW on the database. Everybody else that uses OLAP cubes was still able to connect without problems. When he entered the username and password and pressed connect the system hangs for a few seconds and then returns to the spreadsheet without invoking the wizard. Our desktop services team looked at the problem and couldn't resolve it so have re-installed the Spreadsheet Add-In. This has resolved his connection problems and he is able to build his own queries using the cubes.
    The problem that he is now finding is that the saved selection criteria that he had previously been using was no longer visible to him. I.e. when he is in the wizard building a query based on a cube, he selects, say, the time dimension, and rather than selecting from the members tab on the left-hand side of the screen, he moves to the Saved Selection tab. It is at this point that he would usually see a list of his previously saved selections - but he doesn't see any folders or selections.
    When I reproduce his steps on my computer I see a folder called Users and then another folder with the schema name and then underneath that there are a number of saved selections. I can select these without any problems.
    I'm not sure if this problem is related to permissions somewhere or if somehow the installation is incomplete.
    Has anyone encountered this before??

    The first step to resolving this issue is to check your Analytic Workspace is working. Within AWM can you right click on each dimension and select the option "View data" - make sure you can drill up and down on each dimension. Then repeat this process for each of your cubes. I suspect there is something wrong with either a dimension or cube. If you cannot see data within AWM then Excel will not with either.
    If the data viewer in AWM is working OK, then Excel should work as well.

  • User name and password for Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-in

    Dear all,
    I downloaded Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and I installed it successfully. I created a new account. Then I downloaded Oracle Business Intelligence Spreadsheet Add-in and I installed it successfully as well (both on my PC).
    Now I would like to run Oracle Business Intelligence Spreadsheet Add-in but I don't know the way of running it. I click "New query". Then I go to the "Connection editor". There are four boxes.
    "Description box" is clear. I write 127.0.0.1 or k219 (it's the name of my computer) into the "Host name box". As the "Port Number box" I use 1521. Then I write xe into the "SID box".
    Then I return to the "OLAP connection tab". There are items: user name and password. I try to write user name and password created in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. And the result is an error: Faild to connect to OLAP service

    When u install Oracle 10g, it forces u to enter new passwords for System as well as scott user and it does not allow u to keep old know passwords as manager and tiger.
    If u installed with new passwords successfully, u must be knowing those new passwords and there is no reason to try with system/manager. Instead try to connect with new passwords. We never faced such problems.
    If the problems still persits, check that
    a) Oracle service is running
    b) Instance is running by and whether u are able to connect / as sysdba

    I went through other questions related to BI Spreadsheet Add-In and I could see that people were talking about another programs and modules needed for successfull running.
    So should I install another modules e.g. Warehouse Builder?
    Please, is there anyone who can help me?
    Your user Frank

    Hello,
    I went through the same process as user484588, and received the same results.
    I have some Access/Excel VBA programs that I use to verify the results of an Essbase cube. Having worked with Oracle products quite a bit in the past, I am reviewing Oracle XE to possibly replace them. The database and forms writer components of XE looks pretty cool, but I need a lot more in the way of report writer.
    I have connected Excel to the XE database using Data/Import External Data, but that's no better than my current Access/Excel implementation.
    Are there any other reporting tools available for use with XE?

  • Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-in Licensing

    Is anybody aware of the licensing policy with Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-in? Are these licenses to be purchased separately or avaiable with the install of database with OLAP option? Any advise or reference to documentation would be useful.
    We have the following database installed and licensed currently:
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
    With the Partitioning, Oracle Label Security, OLAP, Data Mining
    and Real Application Testing optionsWe have the Oracle 10g version with OLAP option installed
    Thanks,S
    Sudip

    The Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-in is included in your OLAP Option license.
    You might also be intested in knowing that you wil soon be able to use Excel 'natively' using an MDX connection to an Oracle 11g cube. This is a very nice solution. If you have the opportunity to evaluate Oracle11g OLAP (which as lots and lots of enhancements), you should definiately be looking at this solution.

    The error message is written in Portuguese. I don't understand why the message is in Portuguese, if the WindowsXp and the MsExcel 2003 are English versions.
    What is the problem??

  • Is there possibility to add dimension value into hierarchy using dml or spl

    1 Is there possibility to add dimension value into hierarchy using dml or spl?
    If such possibility exists how to do that.
    2 Is it possible to sort dimension values inside one branch of the hierarchy?

    What version of OLAP are you using and how did you create your AW (e.g., AWM)?
    Assuming that you're used either AWM or the Java API for AWs in 10g, there isn't an OLAP DML for adding a dimension member to a dimension (and have all the meta data kept in sync); you must load dimension members using AWM the Java API for AWs.
    So, make your changes in the the dimension table and process that table.
    For sorting, you can add a sort attribute to the dimension. Add the sort attribute to the model, indicate that it's used for sorting, add the sort attribute to your dimension table and maintain the dimension.

  • Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in Menu Control Utility

    I downloaded the Add-in Menu Utility to limit access to some menu options. I have followed the instructions as published at http://www.essbase.com/main.asp?webpagekey=330. The last step states that the XLA needs to be loaded. But it appears that I have to manually load it each time I use the Spreadsheet Add-in. I am interested in knowing if there is a way for the Menu Add-in to automatically load when I launch MS-Excel. Please let me know how this can be done.Thank you.

    Hi,
    It sounds to me as you are using Smart View which is Oracle's way forward as an excel addin and it is this which will be developed going forward.
    The classic excel addin is still available for V11 but will not be continued to be developed. In the EPM installation it comes under the excel client option.
    If you have it installed it will be under \Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
    If you do have the files installed, in Excel 2007, go to "excel options" > "Add-Ins" > "Manage Excel Add-ins" > Go
    This should bring up the add-in window, click browse and select
    \Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essexcln.xll
    and
    \Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essxleqd.xla
    Cheers

  • Spreadsheet Add-in connect dialog box do not appear after clean EPM-install

    Clean install of EPM with allmost all values default.
    version 11.1.2.1 on Win server 2008R2 and office 2010 32bit.
    Smartview seems to function properly.
    My impression from the documentation is that an installation of spreadsheet add-in does not require any post configuration, but maybe I am misstaken.
    So what needs to be done for spreadsheet add-in to show connect dialog box?
    Grant some kind of access in shared services?
    Change some environment variable?
    etc etc.

  • Is there an iCal add-in that will accommodate different time zones?

    I am a former Windows/Outlook guy, now living in an all-Apple world (iMac on my desktop; iPhone, iPad and/or MacBook Air when I travel, which I frequently do.)
    Here is my challenge (something that was easy, easy, easy to do in Outlook): 
    I want to be able to create events in iCal that will occur in some other time zone without having to do the mental math. 
    For example, I am sitting at my desk in my home time zone (Eastern Time) and book a flight from Washington to Los Angeles for sometime next month.  What I WANT to do is create an event with a start time of 8:30 am Eastern and an end time of 11:30 am Pacific.  To do that now, I have to mentally say "That's really 8:30 Eastern to 2:30 pm Eastern". Hope I got the conversion right.  If I did, all is good.  The event will show up properly in my iPhone at departure time in DC.  When I fire up my iPhone on landing in LA, the internal clock adjusts, and everything is good. If I make a mental mistake (for example, add hours rather than subtract), I might miss my flight.
    I have another trip already on the books to Dallas.  I get an email from a colleague setting up a meeting while I am there.  Regardless of whether I am sitting at my iMac in DC or looking at my MacBook in a hotel room in LA, what I want to is be able to enter the appointment as "2 o'clock Central Time" and be assured it will show up in the proper time in my calendar, regardless of where (or when) in the world I happen to be the next time I look at iCal.
    Most of the comments on this forum suggest work arounds. "Just work it out in your head". But I am not talking about doing this occasionally with one or two events.  I do it constantly with literally scores of events occuring in multiple time zones. And there is nothing worse than setting an alarm clock for 3 in the morning in Paris so you can get up to catch that 8 pm Eastern board of directors conference call only to discover you missed the call because you screwed up the math when you entered the call in your calendar.
    Like I said. Outlook in Windows does this flawlessly.  But setting up Outlook on my home Mac (in a Windows partition) defeats the purpose of my trying to do it on the software, platform and hardware I prefer to use.
    Which is a long winded explanation to get back to my simple question:  is there an iCal add-in or standalone app that plays well with iCal that will let me designate the time zone for start and end times when I create an iCal entry?

  • Creating automatically "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In" files (Excel files)

    I have the necessity of create automatically an excel file with a query to a multidimensional model (ROLAP Cube). It exists any API for a programation language that makes easy this process of creation?
    How "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In" saves the metadata in the excel file, for example, the information about the database (host name, database name), dimensions and measures selected by the user when a query is made with the "Query Builder"?
    It is possible to share any information about this subject?
    Thanks!!!
    Rui Torres

    I exported to xml an excel file with a query, that was produced by the “Query Builder”, and it is true that the metadata that contains the information about the database, dimensions and measures selected, is specified in xml and is stored in hidden sheets.
    My problem is not to create an excel file (create sheets, write in the cells,...) because it exists some apis that do this kind of operations.
    My difficulty, is to produce the xml metadata, that is defined by Oracle, and contains the information that is used by "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In" to put the data in the cells of an excel sheet.
    What I want to know is, for example, if exists any kind of function that receives the name of the host, the name of the database, the owner of the cube, the cube name and all the options that we can choose in the “Query Builder” (measures and dimensions that we want, the disposition of the dimensions - layout), and return a String with the Oracle’s xml metadata.
    With this xml metadata that is returned, I am prepared to create an excel file, that have the functionality of to connect to a database, and get the data that is stored in it.
    Thanks!!!
