Oracle BI Office Add-In for Excel (Failed to insert Oracle BI view due to )

Dear all,
I receive the following error message when I change the Prompts in Oracle BI Excel Add-In:
Failed to insert Oracle BI view due to processing query error.
I think it has something to do with the performance of the development database.
Is there a configuration file and a parameter the eliminate this error message?
Regards,
Stefan

I've seen this error occur when the Flash ActiveX control is not installed on the machine that is viewing the Excel content because the charts views use Flash. You can fix this by downloading the Shockwave Flash control from www.adobe.com

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

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
Error message
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See
server logs for more details.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. (System)
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (System)
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (System)
BUTTONS:

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!
Tony

Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel - Unattended installation

Hi.
I would lige the Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel to be installed silently, but it seems only to be possible for a Per-User installation with the parameter "setup.exe /passive"
I need the installation to be for All Users, but I can´t find any parameter that makes that possible.

Hi,
Based on your description, your required could be done via logon scripts. Please see the below steps:
1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste, or type, the following:
Const ENGINEERING_GROUP = "cn=engineering"
Const FINANCE_GROUP = "cn=finance"
Const HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP = "cn=human resources"
Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "h:",
"\\FileServer\Users\" & wshNetwork.UserName
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" &
ADSysInfo.UserName)
strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf))
If InStr(strGroups, ENGINEERING_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Engineering\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\EngLaser"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\Plotter"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\EngLaser"
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, FINANCE_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Finance\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\FinLaser"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\FinLaser"
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Human Resources\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\HrLaser"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\HrLaser"
End If
3. On the File menu, click Save As.
4. In Save in, click the directory that corresponds to the domain controller's Netlogon shared folder (usually SystemRoot\SYSVOL\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts where DomainName is the domain's fully qualified domain name).
5. In Save as type, click All Files.
6. In File name, type a file name, followed by .vbs, and then click Save. WSH uses the .vbs extension to identify files that contain VBScript commands.

PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010

Could I ask a couple of questions about the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010?
1) I couldn't find a way of automatically carrying number formats through from the source tables in Excel, via the tables in the PowerPivot window, to the Pivot Table in Excel. For example I have £7.20 in a source table, but this appears as £7.2 in
the Power Pivot window and 7.2 in the Pivot Table in Excel (3 different formats). Is it possible to get the value to appear
automatically as £7.20 in all 3 places?
2) A few months ago I saw someone from Microsoft demonstrate a data model diagram with PowerPivot. I couldn't see this in the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010. Is it only available with Excel 2013?
Many thanks.

1) Number formats have to be done manually,
    in three different places.
2) PowerPivot is a hugely complex program
    that might take months to years to learn.
    A simple demo is not going to accomplish much.
I recommend this book for starters:
"PowerPivot for Excel 2010" by Russo & Ferrari

Issues using EPM Add- in for Excel

Hello everybody,
I have installed the EPM add-in for Excel 2010 in one of my client computers, but we're facing two different issues in this machine:
1. Everytime he opens Excel the EPM add-in is disabled so he has to activate it each time he wants to use BPC.
2. When he opens an activity from the BPF that is related to a Excel file it does nothing (this BPF works fine in other computers)
I don't know if both issues are related but any ideas of why this could be happenning and how to solve them are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Nidia

Hi Nidia,
Which version of excel are you using?
.net 3.5 or .net 4 version of epm add in?
maybe try the latest release, which is SP21 patch 1.

TDMS Add-in for Excel stopped working

Hi-
I have the TDMS Add-In installed for Excel and it was working fine, until I installed LV 8.6 (not sure if that's what did it, but that's the only change made to the machine..) Once LV 8.6 was installed the TDMS Add-In started showing up in the "National Instruments Software" section of Add/Remove Programs whereas it was "Excel TDM Add-in" prior.
The behaviour is that the Toolbar buttons show, but when you press them nothing happens.
I've tried un-installing TDMS Add-In from Windows CP, that removed the toolbar from Excel, but re-installing the TDMS Add-In doesn't fix it (buttons still do nothing).

Hi,
I was looking through the posts, and thought this was rather interesting - I have seen/delt with customers using this in LabVIEW 8.6. They've never reported any issues.
I would agree with michelle, with the questions.
I am aware that labVIEW 8.6 and the Report Generation Toolkit needed to be upgraded to 1.1.3 and only works for new versions of Office (which caught customers out), could it be, that your using an older version of Excel...
However, when Im back in the office tomorrow - I will try out the toolkit with LabVIEW 8.6 - as I am yet to try it out.
Please respond with more information.
Kind Regards,
Kind Regards

Essbase Add-in for Excel XP

We're testing the 6.1 version of the Spreadsheet Add-in on the XP version of Excel. It's not allowing me to double-left-click to perform a retrieve. Is the spreadsheet Add-in supported for the XP version of Excel? Are there other problems with using the Add-in on the XP version of Excel that I will encounter?TIA!!Byron

We have 6.1.4 or greater will support Office XP loaded on the client machine. I am not sure about Windows XP. We had to wait for 6.1.4 to release before we could deploy Office XP. Hope this helps! Later.Geoff

Unable to add reference for Excel Object Library for use within Script Task

I have a requirement to use a Script Tax that needs to reference the Excel Object Model. There are numerous articles on using this such as
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3921141/SSIS-Script-Task-and-Microsoft-Office-Automation.htm.
Simply, I need to add a reference to the Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library.
I have selected this from the Object List on the COM tab and when this adds the reference it states 'The System cannot find the reference specified', even though the referenced file for this Object is C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Excel.exe
and this file location exists on my local machine ?

Please search where "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll" exist in your system and try adding the reference.
If you don't find the dll there then there might be problem while installing.

How do I sign my VB / VS 2010 based shared COM add-in for Excel so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?

My COM add-in is developed using VS 2010 and VB. It's a shared COM add-in (not VSTO) and it works with Excel 2007 - 2013. My installer is signed with a code signing certificate but it would appear that my add-in's .dll should also be signed if the user has
checked the "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher" option.
The "Sign the assembly" option is checked in my add-in's VB -> My Project -> Signing. I have a .snk file selected which I seem to recall generating 6 or 7 years ago when I ported the COM add-in from VB6 to .NET.
I have an up-to-date Comodo code signing certificate (a pfx file called MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx) which I purchased to use with the installer and was wondering if and how I could use this.
I tried selecting my pfx file in the My Project -> Signing -> "Choose a strong name key file" dialog. It made a copy of the pfx file in my project folder but when I tried to build the project, I got the following error:
Error 1 Cannot import the following key file: MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the
following key container name: VS_KEY_C0B6F251F0FB6016
After a little research, I found out I might be able to use signtool to sign the dll in a post-build step.
I added the following command to the post-build event, before the command I use to regasm the assembly.
"path to signtool\signtool" sign /f "MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx" /p "xxxx" /v "$(TargetPath)"
When I built the project, the dll appeared to get signed (the output window showed a bunch of confirming text as well as "Successfully signed: c:\MyAddIn\bin\Release\MyAddIn.dll") but the next step in the post-build (regasm myaddin.dll /codebase)
issued a warning RA0000 (see below) but reported "Types registered successfully".
Here's the message I get from regasm, even though the output window says the dll was sucessfully signed:
RegAsm : warning RA0000: Registering an unsigned assembly with /codebase can cause your assembly to interfere with other applications that may be installed on the same computer. The /codebase switch is intended to be used only with signed assemblies. Please give your assembly a strong name and re-register it.
Types registered successfully
I'm not using a shim if that makes a difference.
How do I sign my add-in so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello,
Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.
You may also find the
What's the Difference, Part Five: certificate signing vs strong naming article helpful.

Power Query for Excel - Need Help with Oracle SQL Syntax

Hello everyone,
I am new to Power Query and am not able to figure this out. I am trying to pull in data into my Excel spreadsheet using a specific Oracle SQL query. While in query editor, how do I take the Oracle.Database function and add my SQL statement?
I already know what I want, I don't want it to download all the table names. According to the help page, I should be able to do this but it does not provide a syntax example
Also, I don't understand what "optional options as nullable record" means.
Below is what function and arguments the help page notes. How do I use this?
Oracle.Database(server as text, optional options as nullable record) as table
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jessica

When I try this, I get an error
DataSource.Error: Oracle: Sql.Database does not support the query option 'Query' with value '"Select * from Owner.View_Name"'. Details: null
I'm trying to download oracle data from a view into power query - Power Query navigator does not list th eviews from my source, it lists only the tables. When I try write sql statements, it throws me the above
error. This is what I tried
Oracle.Database("Source/Service",[Query="Select * from Owner.View_Name"])
Any ideas how to fix this?
