Password prompt Error with Bex and Excel 2007

Hi Guru's,
We have a problem with end users that have the Bex add-in loaded in Excel 2007 when they are using a different 3rd party add-in. The problem is when they close Excel, they get password prompted for a password protected VB project in the workbook.
I found a MSFT article that sounds exactly like the problem I'm seeing. Link is below.
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/280454]
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks
Brian Winterlich

Hi Brian:
Take a look at SAP Note 1397278 - "BPC: Pop-up window prompting for a password to unprotect the sheet in Journal template with Office 2007 SP2".

BEX and Excel 2007

Hi experts,
I want to know if BW BEX can use the 1million row capability of Excel 2007.
When I am exporting data to excel, it is giving a warning 'Maximum number of rows (65535) exceeded. Result is incomplete.'
This is the limit of excel 2003 version.
Any inputs to this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Uday.

Hello,
In order to keep the backward compatibility with other Excel versions, BEx Analyzer still have such limitation.
Here is a detailed explanation from SAP Development in this matter:
"Besides the further testing need, we also consider that there are still lots of customers who have not begun using Excel 2007. If there is no such restriction in Analyzer, there might be problem when they have a large number of data to be displayed in Excel 2002/2003.
Furthermore, BEx Analyzer is not a tool for the mass extraction of data, but a viewer/navigator tool for data. And due to the .NET Framework memory utilization limitation, there would be no more than 750,000 cells displayed in Analyzer. Please refer to note 1040454. If we consider the currently existing limitation of 65536 rows, this would mean something around 11 columns. Even when more rows are supported, the maximum number of cells that the .Net process can handle would not increase, which means the displayed columns would be very limited and not practical either.
If you have to display so many rows, you can consider executing the report in the Java Web. This would be a workaround.
We regret to say we could not provide more positive solutions. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused."
Kind Regards,
Marcio

Can not Sorting by Key Figure with Analyzer and Excel 2007

Hello experts,
We have recently changed to Office 2007, and the funcionality of Sorting by a Key Figure with BEx Analyzer is desactivated.
We have applied the patch 10 for BEx BI 7.10.
Has anybody had the same problem?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Patricia,
Have you got two structures in your query?
Please take a look at the following notes:
1378796 - Disabled Sorting when there is one struct. in the drilldown
1332267 - BExAnalyzer: changes in cell properties dialog / sorting
these should explain why the sort feature is no longer available in certain scenarios.
many thanks
Orla.

Q regarding Acrobat 9 Standard and Excel 2007

Using 9 Standard and Excel 2007, what settings do I need to change to create a pdf document that looks like my Excel print preview? Some of the graphs within our excel documents are large, say 3 graphs 5 inches wide each, which are then forced to fit the print area using excel's Fit-to page settings. When we attempt to convert these to pdf using 9 Standard, the graphs end up 5 inches wide each, and do not fit on the pdf page. These pages pdf perfecly using Pro 8 but not using 9 Standard. Unfortunately, I can not change the Excel documents, because we have multiple users, some with 9 Standard and others with 8 Pro, all using the same Excel documents.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
jim

Thank you for your reply, however the suggestion did not work. My original problem still exists: headers and footers are resized on each page, some so small they are unreadable. Also (much worse), I did a 'save-as' on a file created in XL 07, saving as XL 97-03. This caused a 'significant loss of functionality' within my file, affecting 286 different cells. I often use XL07's =IFERROR formulas which are not recognized in 97-03.
So... I still have only a partial solution. Adjusting the dpi settings allows me to successfully convert XL 07 files to pdf, but Acrobat 9 Standard is currently useless, because I can not add proper headers and footers.
Anyone else with suggestions? All replies appreciated.
Thanks
jim

HFM SDK and Excel 2007

Hi there,
is it possible to get HFM SDK working on Excel 2007 for an EPMA application?
I imported the .bas-file of the "ExtendedAnalyticsBatch"-Sample (VB6) in Excel and tried to get this work. But i cant't even import the necessary dll's.
Has anybody an idea to get this work or first of all to import the dll's? Or isn't it possible with this combination of SDK and Excel-Version?
Google doesn't help that much.
Thanks & best regards

BPC 7 : Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 Conflict

Hi Experts,
I have created a template in BPC 7 MS on my computer which has Excel 2003 version.
But when I try that template on another computer which has Excel 2007. The format (in the format Range) did'nt seem to work or it has diff effect on Excel 2007.
Is there really a conflict between them?? and cannot have different Microsoft Office version?? Or is there An Add-on that we have to Install so that Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 can be used at the same Time??
Thanks,
Bennie Jay

Sorin:
Situation
I also have the same issue with Excel formatting in Excel 2007, and I found a work-around specifically to my issue.
At the format section's CRITERIA, I have one entry: HEADING="New Budget" in the Column direction, apply certain color and number format to the cells of that column. However, I used Excel function CONCATENATE("HEADING=",EVDES("FINANCE",CATEGORY)) to come out with HEADING="New Budget", rather than just typing the string value.
With the above exercise, in Excel 2003 the format would apply no problem, but in Excel 2007, the entire formatting went wild and broke. After I dropped CONCATENATE() and just typed in HEADING="New Budget", the formatting applied OK in 2007.
Data
We are currently on BPC 5.1 SP5
The original report was built in Excel 2003
Question
Is there a setting in Excel that would allow me or bypass the restriction to use Excel functions to come out with CRITERIA definition?

Icloud 2.1 and excel 2007

There is a meanwhile well known issue using windows 7 and excel 2007 or 2010 and have iCloud version 2.0 or 2.1 installed:
Excel files with macros will be destroyed, you`ll get a message like" Excel found unreadable content - I don't know the right translation beause I use the german version. ("Von Excel wurde unlesbarer Inhalt in '[Datei]' gefunden. Möchten Sie den
Inhalt dieser Arbeitsmappe wiederherstellen? Wenn Sie der Quelle dieser Arbeitsmappe vertrauen, klicken Sie auf 'Ja'." - german version).
Is there anything new in iCloud version 2.1.1 - is this issue correced right now?
Until it is not corrected one have to use iCloud version 1.1 instead to solve the problem.

Look at this discussion:
Re: Excel 2007 problem opening xlsx files when iCloud control panel is installed
.... and the problem is still not solved (iCloud 3.1.0.40) and I guess will never be. We need to rename or delete the shellstreams.dll or save the excel-files as .xls to solve the problem for ourselves!
What a shame!

Xcelsius 2008 with Excel XML Maps and Excel 2007

Hi guys,
I'm getting great results with the Excel Xml maps feature,
the problem is we upgraded to Excel 2007 and now Xcelsius can't seem to find the Xml Map connections any more.
I did some testing, it seems that an XML connection created in Excel 2003 works fine, but Xcelsius just doesn't see any connection created with Excel 2007.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Roy

Mark,
It seems like that may have been something to look into prior to purchasing the product. You're a creative guy though, try to work around with the Excel sheet in the backend. I'm sure you can manage what you need with only one connection.
The key to being an Xcelsius expert is to know how to work around any problem.
Do you need this to be live data? If not, you could try the Excel -> Import External Data function.
I hope that helps!
Thanks,
Brian

ALV download to EXCEL -- probs with SAPGUI 6.40 and EXCEL 2007

I have a method in an ALV grid which performs a dowload to excel
Here's the method
method download_to_excel.
field-symbols:
       <fs0> type standard table,
       <fs1> type standard table.
    assign g_outtab1->* to <fs0>.
    assign g_fldcat1->* to <fs1>.
       call function 'LVC_TRANSFER_TO_KKBLO'
      exporting
        it_fieldcat_lvc   = <fs1>
    is_layout_lvc     = m_cl_variant->ms_layout
         is_tech_complete = ' '
      importing
        es_layout_kkblo   = ls_layout
        et_fieldcat_kkblo = lt_fieldcat.
    loop at lt_fieldcat into lt_fieldcat_wa.
      clear lt_fieldcat_wa-tech_complete.
      if lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname is initial.
        lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname = '1'.
        modify lt_fieldcat from lt_fieldcat_wa.
      endif.
      l_tabname = lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname.
    endloop.
    call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL'
         exporting
              i_tabname           = l_tabname
              is_layout           = ls_layout
              it_fieldcat         = lt_fieldcat
              i_title             = sy-title
         tables
              it_outtab           = <fs0>
         exceptions
              fatal_error         = 1
              no_display_possible = 2
              others              = 3.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type 'S' number sy-msgno
             with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    endif.
endmethod.
Basically the method converts the GRID table I'm displaying into the format requred for FMOD ALV_XXL_CALL' -- the field catalog is slightly different but no big deal here.
This works fine when downloading to EXCEL 2003 but short dumps when trying to do the same thing for EXCEL 2007.
Workstation is running Windows XP / SP2 build 2600 in both cases.
Any fixes etc or should I stick with EXCEL 2003 until forced to upgrade.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi all
Seems the problem disappeared after applying the latest patch to SAP_GUI 6.40.
I haven't tried SAP_GUI 7.0 yet.
Thanks anyway
