Hi Suneel,
There has been a great thrust by the business users to make the BW reports more friendly with the execl functions, so that they can use it better to perform ad hoc calculations that may be specific to them, and not all the users, so it doesn't have to be built into the query.
Hope this helps...

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Microsoft excel cannot copy and paste from one excel doc to another one

I have a user that is on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and he has to different instances of excel open and coping information from one excel file to the other one. He can do it once and then when he tries to do it again excel says, "Microsoft cannot Copy and
Paste."
I have tried to repair the install, that worked for a few days.
Tried uninstalling Office suite and then re-installing Office suite.
I reformatted the computer and did a fresh install of windows 7 and Office suite and today it started again.
I need to get a fix for this as soon as possible.

Microsoft Band Functionality Issues and Windows Phone Developer Preview

I just wanted to post this since I ran into this issue and after spending my evening dealing with it wanted to share what I learned. I picked up a Microsoft Band for myself and my wife. I'm running the developer preview on my Lumia 920 and have
been for awhile now. The band has been working really well for me and I hadn't had any issues. My wife has a new Lumia 1520 and wasn't in the developer preview. Her band was fine for a couple of days but then stopped connecting to her phone. The Bluetooth
wouldn't connect. I spent over an hour on the phone with Microsoft support which was pretty helpful (I do appreciate that it is US based support and not out in India). But during the troubleshooting I did with the support tech he mentioned that there are features
that only work if you have the developer preview. Things such as Facebook and Twitter tiles on the Band only work with the latest version of WP 8.1 that you can get through the developer preview. However it also appears that the Band's other
functions such as Cortana and Text/Email notifications work much better as well when you have the newer version of 8.1 with the Developer Preview. So I just wanted to put that out there, if you are having any issues with your Band sign up for the
Developers Preview and update your phone and you should see improvements.
Vincent Sprague

Can anyone tell me why I have not mail option under Manage Tiles? I am running with the Develop Preview on a Lumia 1020. I am now running the developer preview update, I hope this fixes the issue but it seems it should just be an app issue smh.

Have you experienced something similar in other installations?

Microsoft Excel(for Mac) is running extremely slow

I am using Microsoft Excel(for Mac) and it is running extremely slow. I have a 3 different functions running and about 10,000 lines of data, but to delete 1 line of data or add a column takes about half an hour. I tried rebooting my computer and that didn't really help too much. Is there anything else I can do? I have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

Failed to export the report... to Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-only

I'm using Crystal Report version 12.1.0.892
I'm trying to export reports to 'Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-only' (an option I use all of the time), and am getting the message "Failed to export the report."
It only started this week. I can export to "'Microsoft Excel (97-2003)" (and PDF, etc.) without incident, but it's not what I want.
I have not made any changes to Crystal Reports, but have applied updates to Microsoft Windows XP (ver 2002, SP 3).
Any ideas?

I'm having the same error and have a subreport with 3 groups. The subreport data being returned is all in the Details section. All other sections of the sub are suppressed.
I can export the main report fine (it's just headers). I can also drill into the sub and export that fine, but of course get back only limited data. When I try to export the whole thing it chokes.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks for your help.

Xcelsius - Excel Functions and Formulas

I am trying to do some caluclations within Xcelsius using Excel. I am trying to use the CORRELATION and COVARIANCE function in Excel, but when I preview my calculations on the canvas it says Xcelsius does not support these functions. Is there a problem on my end or can Xcelsius not use these functions? Also I am trying to use Visual Basic in Excel, but it seems Xcelsius does not support that either. Is this true?
Edited by: Redhawk on Apr 6, 2009 5:47 PM

Hi
indeed not all Excel functions are supported in XCelsius. And you also cannot use macros.
Please have a look at the chapter Supported Excel Functions in the XCelsius 2008 User Guide.
You can download the guide here: [http://service.sap.com/bosap-support].

How to define Excel function using BEx formula

Hi experts,
May I know how to define the following Excel function using BEx formula?
IF(AND(Revenue<0,Cost<0),"N/A",(Profit/Lost/ABS(Revenue)))
Thanks!

for me its easy to implament logic with * and + rather than AND and OR respectively
((Revenue<0)(Cost<0))Value +((Revenue>0)(Cost>0)) ( Profit&Lost / ABS(Revenue))
As i have mentoned already,for Else case i have considered (Revenue>0) and (Cost>0) only.
Value can be a KeyFigure/Formula/formula variable/CKF/RKF
its not possible to type characters in the formula window so 'N/A'
Regards.

Spreadsheet imported from excel; sum formula freezes after entering colon and causes forced quit. Adds ok if numbers highlighted?

Spreadsheet imported from excel. Formula to add columns gives a syntax error as soon as the colon key is pressed and system freezes. However, highlighting the columns works and shows the formula as expected. The system works properly on new sheets!

Ron,
In cases of bad behavior such as this, it sometimes helps to close and quit everything and restart the computer. Try that and let us know if the problem persists after the restart.

Applications of BexGetData and other BW\Excel functions

Hello all!
We've recently upgraded to BI7 and I'm interested in the BW\Excel functions.
Iu2019ve tried to create a blank workbook, assign a data provider, and then use the BexGetData function but it gives me the value #NV. Is the formula directly related to any analysis item thatu2019s in the same workbook?
If the above is possible, or anyone could link me to some in depth documentation to how this and the other formulas work Iu2019d be very grateful!
Iu2019ve seen the brief bit on the SAP page about the BexGetData function by the way; it doesnu2019t answer my question or give much information!
All the best,
Rhys

Thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to work out how to get the key figures to show as bexgetdata formula's through converting to formula mode, but I'm more interested in what other things I can use this for.
Can you reference multiple info providers in bexgetdata formula's in one sheet?
Ideally I'd like to be able to create a highly formatted workbook that uses just a blank worksheet with a few data providers assigned. I'd then do something like this:
Team's New Sales =bexgetdata("New Sales Info",Subtotal 3,New)
Team's Renewal Sales =bexgetdata("Renewal Sales Info Provider,"Subtotal 3", Renewal)
Also how does the bexgetdata formula relate to the analysis grid. Do you have to have one? Can you only reference characteristics which are showing in an analysis grid?
Finally the link you sent me was helpful, but doesn't explain any of the other BW\Excel formula's. Does SAP not support these with any documentation that's vaguely usable?
Cheers,
Rhys

Does Numbers support Excel functions CELL, SUBSTITUTE, and REDIRECT?

Been trying to find the list of Excel-compatible functions but did not succeed. I would like to use Numbers to edit my Excel files in iPad. I often generate reports by pulling data out from a seperate sheet using Excel functions like CELL, SUBSTITUTE, and REDIRECT. I have not purchased Numbers yet, that is why I would like to know where I find the complete list of Excel-compatible functions or at least know if Numbers support these functions. Thank you in advance.

Numbers does support the function substitute()
I did not see the functions cell() and redirect() in the function browser.
There is afree function reference here:

which you can use

Convert an integer value that was created with the Excel DATEVALUE formula to a valid date?

Hello everyone,
How can I convert an integer value that was created with the Excel DATEVALUE formula to a valid date in SSIS?
Is this even possible?
For example:
=DATEVALUE("8/22/2008") will format the cell to display 39682.
Reading the column as a string to get the int value (39682) - how can I turn this into a valid date using SSIS and then importing the real date to sql server?
Thank you!

You can use Script component for this and convert your integer values to Date. An example here is following:
CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
string dateString = "08082010";
string format = "MMddyyyy";
DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider);
