OData Feed Link Format for an Excel Workbook Stored in SharePoint

I've heard it is possible to use an OData Feed Link to get data from an Excel Workbook that is stored on SharePoint 2013 online. Does anyone know the format for the link? I've been searching high and low and cannot get any specific format that works. Thanks!

I received this from someone on our team:
In PQ, click From File -> From Excel.
In the file dialog that appears, paste in your site url (e.g. https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams/myteam).
The file dialog will display the files stored in your sharepoint site. Navigate until you reach the desired excel file.
Select it and click done.
On the credential prompt, use Organizational.
Let me know if it works for you.

Link in Word to Excel chart stored in SharePoint

I want to embed chart from Excel in Word document. Both Excel and Word documents are saved in SharePoint library. What I did, was to paste chart from Excel with "link data" option enabled. I also went to Links window and set "Update method
for seected link" to "Automatic update".
This works great, asking me to update chart everytime I open Word document, which is exactly what I want. Only as long as I have Excel file open. (I noticed, that when the file was on local PC, instead of SharePoint, it worked without opening Excel). When
Excel is not open, chart is not refreshed.
If I go to Client Tools -> Design ribbon and click on Edit Data, source is opened in window and chart is updated.
My question is:
How can I force chart to update with data, that might have changed in Excel located on SharePoint? Macro, that would open the file is fine.
Making users go thru ribbon and "edit data" option is unfortunately too complicated for inexperienced users. I need one-button-click solution or something that works automaticaly.

Hi Tschareck,
According to your description , my understanding is that you want to update the excel chart data when editing the chart in the word.
As a workaround, I suggest you can use SharePoint ItemUpdated Event Receiver, when you updated the chart data in the word, then reupload the excel file in the event receiver.
Here are some detailed code demo for your reference:

programmatically upload file to sharepoint list

Data refresh in background for an Excel workbook published on a SharePoint 2013 site

Hi,
I've created a site to publish some Excel workbooks on a SharePoint 2013 farm with Excel Services.
I'd like to run in background the data refresh against the cube connected to Excel, so when the end user will open the workbook he already will see the updated data without any waiting times.
How can I solve this issue, please?
Keep attention: I don't talk about PowerPivot for SharePoint.
Thanks

did you try to use the
unattended service account for authentication to external data, in order to refresh the excel data?

Query a Odata feed on UI update in Excel

I have an Odata service which has a function named Foo() which returns me data after doing operations and also have another function foo2() which returns a different set of data.
now i have a drop down list in excel and on selecting value one it should query the odata feed to return the dataset from foo() and on selecting the second it should return the dataset from foo2()
How do i do this. any help would be much appreciated

Hi,
I think you will need to use VBA code to achieve it. As I'm not quite know how to call the Odata service function within Excel, you need to modify the VBA code.
Anyway, if the drop down list was created by using data validation, and located in Range A1, then you can try the VBA code below:
Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)
If target.Address = "$A$1" Then
If Range("A1") = 1 Then
Foo() 'call function Foo (need change)
Else
Foo2() 'call function Foo2
End If
End If
End Sub

Format of Reporting Agent Excel Workbooks

Hi there.
Is there anyway of customizing the format of the excel workbooks that are produced via the reporting agent?
e.g. maintaining some sort of template or (ideally) being able to customize individual reports.
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Mark,
You should be able to do this by creating a workbook template. Take a look at the following links:

Use sumif() with Excel 2010 sheets stored on SharePoint 2010

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing an issue with two Excel sheets stored on SharePoint 2010 in a simple document library within a team site. One of the files contains the source data (data.xlsx) and the second file contains the formulas calculating different things (summary.xlsx),
based on what is stored in data.xlsx. This basically works fine and we are able to do things like
=SUM('http://sharepoint.demo.tld/Shared Documents/[data.xlsx]Sheet1'!$X$122:$X$123)
and also complex things. That formula for example works fine even with only the summary.xlsx file opened. Means the reference to the data.xlsx file is working properly and I get the correct results. But as soon as the formula becomes more complex like
=SUMIF('http://sharepoint.demo.tld/Shared Documents/[data.xlsx]Sheet1'!$L:$L;A2;'http://sharepoint.demo.tld/Shared Documents/[data.xlsx]Sheet1'!$X:$X)
the formula only works fine when the source sheet (data.xlsx) is opened, too. I was expecting the summary.xlsx to store the last value in it and only recalculate the formulars when I force it to recalculate the formular. But as soon as I open summary.xlsx
without data.xlsx being opened it displays #Value! - with and without recalculating the formulas. Seems as soon as the reference file is not opened this kind of formula gets broken. But I don't get it because SUM() does work fine even without the source file
opened.
Additionally, it becomes more strange. As soon as I open up the data.xlsx and enable editing the fields containing #Value! in summary.xlsx immediately represent the correct values.
Does anyone know why this happens and whether there is a way to solve this? We will require this kind of formula for that kind of sheets.
Thank you very much and kind regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
It is by design that the SUMIF function can only work when the source sheet is opened and the SUM function can work
without the opening the source sheet in Excel files.
This issue will occur on all excel files no matter if they are stored in SharePoint or not, and it is not an issue in SharePoint.
So if you want to make the SUMIF function to work, you need to keep the source sheet open.

Issue with Excel data-chains via SharePoint

I'm having issues with a coulpe of Excel (2010) data-chains through SharePoint at my work. When i set up a chain it shows for instance [Sheet2.xlsx] and fetches data just fine. But when I close and re-open the sheets, the chain code is changed to the
entire http-adress, such as "http://company.com/controlling/[Sheet2.xlsx], and gives a VALUE-error instead of fetching the data.
Is my problem connected to Excel or Sharepoint? And what can i do to make the chains work?
Thanks in advance, and please excuse if some of the mentioned terms are inaccurate. I use Excel in my native language (danish), but the Danish community in here is not very large :)

Hi,
Are you using some formula(Such as Vlookup) to link the Excel date which shored in the SharePoint?
If it is, we may try to use the full URL in the formula. Here are some samples, we may refer to:

Refresh Data feed error in Excel Workbook

Hi
I am getting the error
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used The payload kind 'BinaryValue' of the given data
feed is not supported.. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID ...
The excel workbook was earlier configured using the data feed which was not stored in a data feed library. I then created the data feed library, placed the data feed in it and edited the connection
to the new path.
I am getting the above error now. Please help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you configured the workbook to use the data feed in a data feed library.
Did this issue occur with all the Excel workbooks which use the data feeds in the data feed library?
I recommend to create a new workbook to use the data feeds in the data feed library following the steps in the link below to see if the issue still occurs:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413490.aspx#importdata
Please also check if the data feed is created correctly referring to the link below:

How to link excel workbooks in Sharepoint?

I have a master Excel spreadsheet and other sub excel spreadsheets (all on Sharepoint) that are linked to each other (copied data from one and pasted link to other) so that the Master spreadsheet auto-updates every time a sub document is modified. This
format works if the documents are hosted on my computer, however, the links become broken if they are hosted on Sharepoint and I get a #REF! message. My goal is to have a master document that is linked to data of other sub spreadsheets and auto-updates when
they are modified without having to open the sub spreadsheets. I would like to be able to open the master document, refresh it, and have the current data pulled from the linked sub spreadsheets. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

I have seen this working for some folks in my company. They moved their spreadsheets into SharePoint, and changed the references to other spreadsheets from file paths to be the urls of the items in SharePoint.

I am uploading an Excel Workbook (xlsx format) to convert to a pdf and it has taken over an hour and it is still not uploading. I have even tried to restart it and that did not work.

I'm trying to upload an Excel Workbook (in xlsx format) to have it converted to a PDF file and that little circle has been spinning forever. I tried to restart the process but it did the same thing. So I tried to open up each individual worksheet of the workbook and save them individually. I "think" I got that to work, but when I go to the combine tab, I see the four pages that I have selected with spinning "thinking" circles on all of them. Please help. I have a client waiting for this proposal and I don't know what to do!

Are you on a slow Network Connection? I would recommend you to Clear the browser Cache and History and then try again or try using a different browser on a different Network Connection.

Visual Studio Community Edition - Error on creating ribbon for Excel Workbook project

Hi. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now so I hope someone can help me.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition. On installation there was no option to include VSTO and, looking on various forums, I found it was necessary to install the VSTO - November 2014 update separately, which I have done. I'm working on a
brand new virtual server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and no other versions of Visual Studio have been installed (although I'm surprised to see Visual Studio 2012 as an item in All Programs - but it just contains command prompts).
I have created an Excel Workbook project. When I go to create a new item - Ribbon (Designer) - I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.Implementation, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've searched the Internet for anyone who might have had this same issue but have been unable to find anything to help me. I've tried uninstalling the VSTO-November Update and VS 2013 CE and reinstalling both but still the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
David.

Hello David,
What Office version do you have installed on the problematic machine?
Do you run Visual Studio as an administrator?

How scheduling the data refresh for a published Excel workbook - SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I've implemented an Excel workbook that connects to a SSAS Tabular data source and I've published it on SharePoint.
Now, how can I implement a scheduled data refresh if it is possible?

Hi pscorca,
If my understanding is correct , you want to implement a scheduled data refresh on SharePoint 2013 and the data is from a SSAS Tabular data source.

Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
Hope this helps.

They all have equal permissions on the NAS.
Does anyone know why this might happen?
