MDS Excel add-in with Excel online

Hi,
I would like to explore the possibility to use excel online (excel services in SharePoint) to administer MDS-data using the Excel add-in. Since there is a need to reach the Master Data menu options in the Excel sheets for the simple reason of publishing
I have not yet found a way to make this possible since the SharePoint excel online menu options are restricted.
Does anyone have any experience of using Excel MDS add-in through SharePoint Excel SErvices?
...or a similar problem allowing Excel online to show (and use) the menu bar?
(Would like to avoid rolling out Excel add-in on all clients...)
Best Regards,
Per

Any suggestions for Per?
Thanks!

Problem: Excel Add-in with Excel 2010

I recently installed the essbase spreadsheet add-in onto Excel 2010 and it worked fine,(previosuly there was 9.3.1 Excel add-in and i removed and installed Excel add-in 11.1.2.2) but after some days it is giving beolw messgae:-
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\hyperion\analyticservices\bin\essexcln.xll' addin. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Has anyone else seen this error, know of a work around or whether a new version is in the works?

This generally happens if your excel gets crashed due to some reason / your system gets force shutdown. As suggested above, you can enable it.
Note: When you get that message to disable, do not click yes.

Known issues for OBIEE Office Add in with Excel 2007?

Hi,
Does anybody know if there are issues for the office add-in with Office 2007?
i'm playing around a little bit to see how it works, but it seems that Excel interferes with the layout.
I do get different grafs and also i tried the tutorial with the excel template and my changes come only partly through.
Thanks
Sandra

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 with Terminal Services

Hello Everyone Does anyone have any experience using the Excel Add-In with a terminal services session (remote desktop)? Local box administrators have no issues but when a non admin user starts MS Excel, they get a VBA runtime error (essexcln.xll not found) Closing that window and attempting to install the add-in via Tools >> Add-Ins >> and browsing to the essexcln.xll file returns the error "essexcln.xll is not a valid add-in" Seems to be a rights issue but the users have full rights to the folder where the add-in is located (Hyperion\AS\bin\) . Thanks in advance for any tips.

Check the file permissions on c:\winnt\system32\msvcr71.dll. This needs to be 'Read/Execute' for 'everyone'. The add-in installation only gives permissions to the User who is installing the add-in. Which causes problems when other users need to access the Add-in. (Similar problem on Citrix / TS). James Archer

Essbase 7 add-in with Excel 2007

Hi,
We are using Essbase Spreadsheet services 7.1.3 (EssbaseWebService) in Excel 2007 and we are facing an issue with the zoom-in function. The zoom-in retrieval time is a lot more time consuming than with Excel 2003.
Do someone ever faced the same issue ?
Thanks !
Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,
As per support matrix documentation, Essbase 7.1.3 is not supported with Excel 2007.
You may have to upgrade to client version 7.1.6.7 which supports Excel 2007.
Thanks,

Excel Add-in & Multiple excel sessions.

We all know the limitation of the add-in with multiple sessions of excel going (unpredictable results), but for an accountant it seems pretty restrictive. Especailly if there are long running retrieves. e.g. a macro that retrieves data for multiple sheets.
Anyone found a way to let someone continue working with excel (not in retrieve mode) while the long running retrieve is going?

First, understand that the session limit is one of Excel instancing, not connection/workbook related itself.
You can, with a single excel session, have multiple workbooks open, running multiple calcs connected to multiple databases, and continue to do retrieves relatively unmolested.
The impact on doing the additional items is not severe, but occasionally noticeable.
The session limit itself is a pain when you have embedded spreadsheets though, because you wouldn't be able to work in a spreadsheet attached to a powerpoint presentation if excel is open, and you do tend to get limited quite significantly if excel is not your "primary" session.

Essbase Excel Add-in for Excel 2013

Hi There,
I recently upgrade from Excel 2010 to 2013, it seems Essbase Excel Add-in (1.1.2.2) has some issue with Excel 2013, does anybody experience this too, any advice on this?
Thanks

The excel add-in is not certified to work with Excel 2013 and a matter of fact, the only version of Smart View certified with it is 11.1.2..5 which just came out. The Essbase Add-in has not been updated in a shile and has been susetted by Oracle so there will be no new versions of it

Essbase 6.5.7 Excel Add-In in Excel 2003

Hi all, We just upgraded our Essbase Analytics server from 6.5.3 to 6.5.7 as this new version supports also Excel 2003. One of our users has installed the new version of the Excel Add-In, but apparently the Essbase menu item does not appear in Excel!! When starting up Excel, the Essbase splah screen appears and double-clicking the Excel sheet makes it possible to connect to the OLAP server. It seems to be a problem in Excel 2003. Does anyone know how to solve this annoying problem? Regards, Olivier

I have users using 6.5.4 with excel 2003 with no problem.Did you check if "Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL"and "Hyperion Essbase Query Designer Addin" options arecheck in your addins for excel? If not, try to do a find in theknowledge base. If I remember correctly, this is solved by creatinga dummy registry key in windows registry set in a specific folder.If you do a search in the forumn, you should be able to find thespecific path as to where the dummy key needs to be created.HTH

How to revert to having Excel docs open with Excel 2004

I recently purchased and installed Office 2008 for the Mac on my MacBook Pro. I have one HUGE problem with Excel 2008 in that if you have a reasonably sized spreadsheet, 700 lines long by about 10 columns wide and have a chart of some of the data showing on the active (visible) screen, then entering any more data slows to a crawl that is unbelievable... It is unusable... I still have Office 2004 installed. I went to the Excel file in the finder, did a "get info", went into the "open with", changed that back to Excel 2004 and closed the get info window... I then double clicked the file and it opened with Excel 2004, what I wanted... However, the next time I save the workbook file (and I have to do that as I add data to it daily), it immediately reverts back to wanting to be opened with Excel 2008... I also tried clicking the "change all" in the get info window and that doesn't work at all.. If I select Excel 2004 and then click "change all", the very next time I try to open it (whether I have saved or not) it opens with Excel 2008... So that is even worse... I do notice when I click on the "open with" there is the word "default" next to Excel 2008... So is there some way, short of removing Excel 2008 from the computer, which I might have to do, to truly change this "open with" deal such that it will ALWAYS open with Excel 2004??? I'm bummed by a number of features in the new Excel but the forever spinning beach ball when a chart is on the active page is truly a killer... So in summary, short of removing Excel 2008, how do I again make Excel 2004 truly the default app for opening .xls spreadsheets???? thanks much... bob..

Hi... You are correct about the xls versus the xlsx... However, what I've observed is that Excel 2008 is more than happy to open an older .xls file, work on it and then save it, still keeping the .xls extension... But now, after having saved it, even though its extension is still .xls, now it is full of whatever overhead they have put into Excel 2008 that is intolerable... Since I posted earlier, I did some reading and downloaded a preference pane program called "RCDefaultApp-2.0.1.X"... It claims to be good at fixing problems just like what I am describing... But not matter what I do in that little app, if I select Excel 2004 to be the app that opens .xls files, I click that choice and it instantly reverts right back to Excel 2008 before I even leave that window... Bottom line is Excel 2008 has taken control at some level deeper than what that utility can do anything about... Again, I can set the "open with" to Excel 2004 and that works but ONLY until I save the file again... The moment I save it, Excel 2008 grabs control again... I'm an early adopter and I sometimes run into these kinds of problems... I'll figure it out eventually... It was my hope they might have made Excel more efficient at running on Mac OS X now that it is native rather than running under Rosetta but my early impressions are that it has gone dramatically the wrong way... Too bad... Anyway, any other thoughts would be much appreciated.. I haven't yet but I will now go read the links you posted... thanks much... bob...

Excel inplace (ALV) with Excel 2010

Hi,
we have changed our workstation to windows 7 and Office 2010. Now i have a problem
with excal inplace of ALV. When i switch to excel inplace I don't find any way to save or save as the excel.
The button "datei" isn't activ.
Has anyone an idea?
We use GUI 720 patch 4.
Regards, Dieter

A simple workaround working is to "Customize the Quick Access Toolbar" in Excel 2010 itself from the File (Backstage) menu. add the "Save As" icon which carried forward in SAPGUI Excel inplace and now users can at least choose where to save their work as needed.

Problem with Excel 2013 TaskPane

Hello,
I got problem with TaskPane on Excel 2013. With Excel 2007 and 2010 my program works perfectly.
I'm opening a workbook and making custom ribbon, but my workbook is hided and the problem comes that first time i can see TaskPane but after any other workbook opening and closing i can't show TaskPane because Globals.ThisAddIn.SarasuTaskPane.Visible
= true don't showing me TaskPane. Actual it's showing but we can't see it because it's hided with workbook, and if i unhide workbook i can see and use it. But i need my main workbook to be not visible for all time and users must see TaskPane.
I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub
3. That Sub loads my COM AddIn, and opens another .xlsm file (at the moment there are 2 .xlsm files opened)
4. My Add-in creates TaskPane, and TaskPane adds on my first .xlsm file(i noticed), and it's fine i can see it. But then i try some of my functions which sets TaskPane visible - false, and opens another .xlsx file then closes it, and trying to do TaskPane visible
- true no errors but also no TaskPane, then i Manually unhide my first Workbook i can see the TaskPane, when i hide it manualy - TaskPane hides too.. and this only on Excel 2013.
Any ideas to solve this? As i mention before with Excel 2007 and 2010 no problems it's works perfectly.
sincerely,
Julius

I have used you code to hide a panel , it works fine
