New Excel Features - Use of Integration,Formatting and Formulae in BI 7

Hi Experts,
I had a look at the Excel integration section of the BI 7 Features and found the some new enhancements for Excel.We are planning to upgrade to BI7 and want to get some expert opinions
1. Excel Formulas allow access to any cell of the result set.
2. combining Excel formulas and Excel Formatiing allows the design of high end formated solution workbooks.
Can anyone explain me the difference between the Excel features in BW3.5 and BI7,with some real time examples.
Does it mean that we dont need any macros to execute some of the calculations or if there a different use in BI7?
Can i use all the features in MS Excel 2003?
Can I use the Existing Bex Browser and create new BI7 workbooks or do i need for Enterprise portal?
Thanks
Mike

    Hi Shonti,
    The DI 11.7 installer can be used to upgrade a DI 6.1 local repository (e.g. the upgrade is supported).  This will migrate all jobs and flows.  They will remain intact, however, this is always a major migration effort and should not be taken lightly.  If you do upgrade, please make sure this is a planned effort with rigorous testing and validation.  You should also ensure that you consult the release notes and [supported platforms documentation|https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000712240&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202] for the 11.7 package you intend to install.  The DI 11.7 documentation also contains info about how to install and configure the Excel Adapter, and what functionality it provides.
    Thanks,

  • How to name a new Excel worksheet using an invoke node??

    I want output from my specific labview code to be written to a new and specific worksheet (meaning I want to provide the specific worksheet name) of an Excel spreadsheet my LabVIEW code will generate. My code will run in a loop where I want data that is generated in each pass of the loop to be written to a new worksheet each time through the loop. I know how to do this if I am ok with just having each worksheet be named 4, 5, 6, etc (on top of the 1, 2 and 3 that comes standard with a new Excel spreadsheet) but I want more meaningful names than just those numbers... So how do I add a new worksheet and give it a name of my choosing??? Also, when right click on an invoke node and then click on "Help for Item" which is right under the Methods selection that comes up, nothing happens, meaning I am not directed to any help file. I see that same behavior under LabVIEW 6.1 and also under LabVIEW 7.1. My guess is either I didn't buy some option required to have that help area be populated or I had it as some option but didn't know to install it when I originally installed LabVIEW??? Having that help available might help answer the question I pose above... I find working with ActiveX components to not be straightforward. Granted I haven't done it much and what I have done has been sort of follow examples and get it to work... But on this naming a new worksheet I have found no useful examples. My guess is it's easy but I'm clueless... Any help would be much appreciated... Note, in case it matters, I do not own the Report Generation tool/capability... thanks... bob...

    Hi, Paris1:
    Take a look at "Excel Workbook Properties", that is located in
    REPORT GENERATION
    -> EXCEL SPECIFIC
    -> EXCEL GENERAL
    -> EXCEL WORKBOOK PROPERTIES
    One of its outputs is "Current Worksheet Name".
    You can insert a ExcelWorkbookProperties VI in a blank VI and then double-click it.
    You will se a rose vi named Excel Get Properties
    And inside it (double-clicking it), the way Worksheet's name is got. If you "Change to Write" that property node, you can set it's name.
    This way is very complicated, it can be done faster, but this way you can see a process to do that, and checking it, you can build your own excel VIs to do specific tasks.
    Hope it helps,
    Aitortxo.

  • Use the default format and partition step to format disk0 partition 1 in multiple disks sutiation

    As we know,we need to disable the default format and partition step in ts to let mdt deploy os on C and leave the other partitions stay safe when there is only one disk on pc,and the way of installing operation system is logical drive letter store in a varible.
    But what if there are 2 disks on pc,and for a record the disk 0 is always the OS disk,don't need to confirmed this.How can we modify the format and partition step to format only C on disk0 under this condition?then lead the mdt to do the rest deployment
    by itself.
    Thanks

    You are pushing up against the design limits of MDT, and the more complex and/or arbitrary the disk configuration the harder it is for MDT to perform installations.
    If you want to maintain the *existing* disk configuration, and just update the OS present, then the recommended course of action is to run MDT from *within* the OS (cscript.exe
    \\server\deploymentshare$\scripts\litetouch.vbs), not from WinPE. When you do this, it's called a "refresh" scenario. MDT can capture the user files via USMT, and it knows which
    partitions to use, because it's launched from within the OS itself.
    Disabling the default Format and Partition step has other unintended consequences.

  • Deployment to an UEFI enabled system using a custom Format and Partition Disk Task does not work

    Hello all,
    I know that MDT 2012 Update 1 has the necessary intelligence to create the GPT partition etc. when the Gather Process detects that the system is UEFI enabled. However i wanted to configure the Format and Parition task myself, so i copied the default one,
    disabled it and just added a new one with the following configuration.
    Disk Number 0
    Disk Type = GPT
    i then added
    EFI, Partition Type = EFI, 500 MB, file system FAT32
    MSR, 128 MB,
    OSDisk 40 GB, PRIMARY
    i then start the Win8 x64 Task Sequence , it formats the disks, it applies the image, but then when it reboots i cannot boot.
    What am i doing wrong here ?

  • Will Apple have a new UHD feature on for Movies purchase and/or rented on iTunes?

    It seems to me that with the growing demand of 4K displays, and with the new release of the new iMac with Retina 5K display, not to mention the pre-existing MacBook Pros with Retina Display, that there is a definite profit to be made from UHD (Ultra High Definition) movies. With the release of UHD Blu-rays and players coming next December, it seems a likely path that apple will (hopefully) take and a path that other media providers (i.e. Amazon, Sony Video Unlimited, Netflix etc.) already have taken. It seems likely to me, but what do you think?

    We are fellow users, we won't know until if/where Apple announce something - but it will also require the rights-holders to be willing to provide their content in that format to Apple.
    You can leave feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Using of Integration Scenario in a Abap Proxy to JDBC receiver synchronous

    Hi ,
    Can any one help me out  how to go about for creating Integraion scenario in ESR as i'm new to the use of Integration scenario..
    its an Abap proxy to Jdbc synchronous scenario... kindly help in this regards.

    Hi Indudhar,
    Right click on the namespace where you want to create the IS and say new, Select process integration scenario option, give a suitable name and say OK.
    In the Component View section right click on the first grey column and Insert a sender Application component. Enter ur product and the software component version. Like wise in the next grey column enter the target Application component.
    Now go to the top level menu and click on view and select grid.

    After entering the actions click on the source action then press shift and click on the target action, right click and choose create connection between the two actions.
    Fill in the info and then save.

  • If I want to transmit the audio infomation use my own format, how can I do?

    In order to transmit the sound for secret, I want to change the default format by encrypting it.
    Is it viable?
    If it is viable, where can i find the correlative data?

    Seems like there are two directions you could go in. First, you could extend the Processor class to add support for transcoding a new audio format, and then you'd be able to encode/decode it the same way normal audio works. Good luck figuring out how to do that, and good luck find any sort of helpful documentation.
    The second idea, which is going to be more documented, is to developed a custom RTP payload. You could then use any audio format, and just encrypt the actual packetized data with whatever data encrpytion scheme you wanted. Most hosts would simply reject the RTP payload if they intercepted the stream, and even if they did receive it, they would have to be able to decrypt it before they could play it.
    For more information about creating your own RTP payload type, take a look at:

  • How to restore my old hard drive into a new hard drive using my time machin

    My HD in my Mac Book died. Thank to the apple care Apple change it to me.
    Now I have a new HD with nothing on it.
    How do I use the backup in the Time Machine to restore my old hard drive?
    As far as what I knew I am supposed to have all my old data, applications, and more by doing something with Time Machine.
    Thanks

    hi,
    i have been through this. First if apple techs replaced the drive you do have something on the drive. your internal drive can boot the machine although your user settings, network settings and third-party software applications are net set up.
    here's what you do.. connect the time macine drive and turn it on. now boot your macbook. watch the 'welcome movie' and don't panic. you will recieve setup instructions from the macbook. you will of course designate the system language to be english. Now an option screen will appear. there are options for setting up the new computer include using a firewire cable and transfering stuff from another macbook. ignore that option. you will see an option to restore settings from a time machine drive. bingo! choose that.
    get the transfer started and go away. usb restoration of big internal harddrives by time machine is **** slow. (it should be slow for alot of technical reasons. don't blame apple.)
    make sure you have the macbook plugged into an electrical outlet, not running off battery because this can be an overnight process.
    so now you're good to go

    how do I add custom ringtones on new iPhone 5, using iTunes 11.04 and Mac OS 10.7.5?

    Are you meaning rintones that you create from existing files?
    If so - then Google and you will get lots of hits on 'how to'.
    Once you have the ringtones in your iTunes library then make sure in iTunes prefs>General tab - the Tones option is selected. Once your device shows in the Devices list make sure you select from the Tones tab in the Devices window the tones you want to d/l.
