Pivot tables causing problems in Excel 2013

I have a couple of issues I have been able to replicate on multiple machines (all running Office 2013 either as standard or as part of a 365 sub. 3 running W7 and one on W8.1)
Whenever I load certain sheets with pivot tables, I can refresh data on them and that all works OK, but if I show the "Field List" bar on the right, Excel grinds to a halt and will not accept any input. Another, possibly related, issue is on some
(not on all the ones with the first issue though) I use freeze panes. When refreshing the ones with this active, the screen flashes rather a lot and only stops when I turn off Freeze Panes.
Have tried various fixes such as setting Windows to "Best Performance", disabling Hardware Acceleration in Excel, disabling addins (it does the same things using /safe) and recreating the file from scratch (this works the first time I use it, but
then if it gets opened in 2007 Excel, then opened again in 2013, the issue comes back again), disabling animations with a registry tweak and renaming the OSF.dll file.
Have checked and am running latest update of Office 2013 (currently 15.0.4675.1002).

Hi,
Based on the issue description, the problem occurs when setting a print area. Are you using the same printer with the multiple PCs? I notice this issue has reproduced on multiple machines. I'm wondering whether the printer driver caused the
crash issue. I recommend we update the printer driver to test.
Then, the crash can be caused by various factors, such as anti-virus programs, other programs that conflicts with Excel. If the problem persists after updating the printer driver, I suggest you perform a selective startup to determine whether
a program, process, or service conflicts with Excel, please refer to Method 8 in this kb below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us
Other methods in this kb are also suggested to troubleshoot the problem.
If this issue still exists, please collect the Event log and app crash dump file to do further troubleshooting.
(You also could send them to me. Email address:[email protected] )

Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel

I have a simple report built using pivot table ( OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0)
1 Metric and 1 dimension using pivot table. and I duplicated the metric column and change it to % column.(Show data as % of column). SO far so good. Below is the snapshot
http://tinypic.com/r/2s14xa9/7
Now i download the report in excel and all the % values are messed up . Below is how it looks
http://tinypic.com/r/bede90/7
I tried messing with data formats etc..nothing works.. I cannot add a custom column format to the metric column since it will impact the derived % column.
Is this a bug ?Any pointers ..
Thanks

Hi,
Follow up this SR:
SR 3-5060435331: Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel
Workaround: (not sure may be give a try)
also give a try like below one then try to download it may work.
In that % column -->add the below statement in the Custom CSS section of the column properties:
mso-number-format:"\@"
Refer snapshot here:
http://i53.tinypic.com/a09kqv.jpg
This will treat the data in the column as text while downloading to excel, hence retaining any leading or trailing spaces.
Thanks

Pivot Tables in Website using Excel Web App

I have an Excel file on OneDrive that has 3 tabs. The 1st tab has an area where the user inputs information (numbers). These numbers flow into the 2nd tab and update cells based on the formulas. The 3rd tab has Pivot Tables based on the
2nd tab master data.
I embedded the 1st tab into my website, so the user can inputs information. I then embedded the pivot tables in my website. The problem is that the information in the pivot tables are not updating based on the information the user puts in.
When I right click and hit "refresh", it still does not update. Any ideas?

When you embed the 1st tab on the webpage, and then change the value ,It will not affect the data of the original workbook which saved on the OneDrive. So the PivotTable data will not updated. You can see:
You need to embed all of these 3 tabs on your workbook on the webpage, then change the value of 1st tab, back to the PivotTable, click refresh, the pivot table data will updated as expected.

Multi-level UPCs (I can do as pivot table in Access and Excel, but not SAP)

I'm working for a shoe manufacturer. We've got inventory that can be grouped into "cases" as well as "open-case" in regards to UPCs. We're able to apply the UPC to individual items such as open-case stock OR case-only, but we can't figure out how we can add the groupings needed to add UPCs to individual items AND the cases associated with each shoe/size. Here's a little more detail: We sell shoes in cases, MOSTLY. Occasionally, we have a shoe model that will sell as open-case. The cases (which have a UPC) contain an assortment of sizes (each of which has its own UPC). We need to be able to access the information for the associated cases when looking at a product and when on a case, we need to see the make-up of the case - such as associated sizes, qty contained, and their respective UPCs. I know we could easily do this in Access or Excel using pivot tables... Is this POSSIBLE in SAP Business One???

You may check Sales BOM function to see if that meet your need. The case can be set up as an Sales BOM item.
Thanks,
Gordon

Export Pivot table data to a Excel file

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.
In my asnwers I am displaying the Pivot view and want to export the results to a excel sheet.The dowlnoad option is not coming for Pivit view.
In case of compound view I am able to see the download option to export to excel sheet.
Please suggest.
thanks

The Compound Layout has a purpose and that is to display your report with the download optons you can "turn on," including "download to Excel." To answer your question of somehow enabling a "download link" from the Pivot Table view, sorry, you can't do that. However, here's what you can do:
In Answers, use the Compound Layout view to download the pivot table. If the Compound Layout view is used for other purposes and you need only the pivot table view to download (as a report designer) and you really need this functionality, then create a duplicate of the Compound Layout and put only your pivot table in it. Now you can download.
If you are talking about dashboards, then use the Properties>Report Links from the Properties button of the report and check off "download." Again, if your Compound Layout is used for other purposes (and requires other views in it), then drag the report into another section of the dashboard and in Edit Dashobard, click on the Properties of the report>Show View>Compound Layout:2 that you created in the previous paragraph. Enable downloading on this and you can download only the Pivot table.

Problem with Excel 2013 TaskPane

Hello,
I got problem with TaskPane on Excel 2013. With Excel 2007 and 2010 my program works perfectly.
I'm opening a workbook and making custom ribbon, but my workbook is hided and the problem comes that first time i can see TaskPane but after any other workbook opening and closing i can't show TaskPane because Globals.ThisAddIn.SarasuTaskPane.Visible
= true don't showing me TaskPane. Actual it's showing but we can't see it because it's hided with workbook, and if i unhide workbook i can see and use it. But i need my main workbook to be not visible for all time and users must see TaskPane.
I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub
3. That Sub loads my COM AddIn, and opens another .xlsm file (at the moment there are 2 .xlsm files opened)
4. My Add-in creates TaskPane, and TaskPane adds on my first .xlsm file(i noticed), and it's fine i can see it. But then i try some of my functions which sets TaskPane visible - false, and opens another .xlsx file then closes it, and trying to do TaskPane visible
- true no errors but also no TaskPane, then i Manually unhide my first Workbook i can see the TaskPane, when i hide it manualy - TaskPane hides too.. and this only on Excel 2013.
Any ideas to solve this? As i mention before with Excel 2007 and 2010 no problems it's works perfectly.
sincerely,
Julius

I have used you code to hide a panel , it works fine
Maybe my first post was incorrectly written. I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object

Pivot table printing problem

I am using pivot tables to show data. I also need to print it but I have problems.
When I use ShowPrintableBehavior i only see one litlle part of my pivot table.
Is there a way to print all pivot table or it is impossible?
Thanks :)

In my experience I couldn't print all the table records, so I give 100 for table fetch size.
eg:.
Table is not fetching all VO data at once?
thanks..

Problem with Excel 2013 on W8 and WD NAS

With my W8 laptop, I get a lot of problem saving excel file on my NAS. I get "we can't save filename.xlsx because the file is in read-only. To keep your changes you'll need to save the workbook with a new name or in a different location..."
I'm alone using the file. Not being use by anyone else.
Exemple: load file "A" from the NAS, can't save it back on the NAS. I save it as "B" on my desktop. Open "B" do some change and try to save it... get " that someone else is using the file....
Only way is to save it one a 3rd name...
I have this issue often but not all the time..
Don't see this with W7pro laptops...
Thank you

Hi FGauthier,
Have you ever try to save Document ,PPT file or Text file to the NAS? Does this issue only occurs with excel file?
what will happen if you copy the file to NAS instead of use the 'save as' feature within excel?
When you open the excel file, if it flagged as read-only, try to right-click the file, check if the read-only option is ticked. Also you can try to save the file as different file format to test this issue.
Also please check if you enable the preview pane, try to disable it .
a) Open File Explorer.
b) Click on View Tab.
c) Click on Preview Pane to view\hide it.

Error Message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" when creating pivot table with Excel 2013

Hi,
One of our users encountered this problem with Excel 2013 while creating pivot tables, particularly with large files. We tried to modify Virtual Memory
of the pc but error still persist. Why does this happen and how can we resolve this? Thanks.
Another error message encountered by the user, this time when opening large files. The files she tried to open are working fine in 2010. But when opened in 2013, it prompted : "There
isn't enough memory to complete this action. Try using less data or closing other applications."

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did your user using the Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 with same PC? If not, please let me know the both of the 2 PCs' hardware list/Windows operation system info.
Did you using Excel 2013 32bit version and Excel 2010 64bit version?
General speaking, this issue usually occurs with Office 2013 32 bit version. It has a limitation of 2Gb of memory that can be used by its process. And the 64-bit Excel can handle larger workbooks.
Thus, if your user using 32bit Excel, I recommend try 64bit Excel instead.
Here is a similar issue, we also could try it:

Export OBIEE 11.1.1.5 Analysis to Excel as a Pivot Table

Hello,
I am exploring the Sample App for OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and one thing that struck me was that I didn't see an export option from an Analysis where you can Export data to Excel as an "Excel Pivot Table".
In Oracle Discoverer, for a Cross-tab report (which is equivalent to OBIEE Analysis Pivot Table), when you export to Excel, it shows up in Excel like a real Pivot Table that the user can manipulate to their hearts content.
Is there an equivalent feature in OBIEE?
thanks,
Manish

I did see the export to excel links, but when the Analysis Pivot Table is exported to Excel, it's not an "Excel Pivot Table". It's a simple static excel spreadsheet.
If you export a Cross-tab worksheet in Discoverer, you will get:
– a base sheet which contains all the data in table format
– a sheet containing the pivot table
– a static sheet
It's the Pivot Table generated automatically by Discoverer that I am looking for in the Export from OBIEE Analysis.

Excel 2013

Hallo,
mein Problem ist folgendes: Ich habe einen neuen Laptop mit 8.1 OS gekauft und habe nach der Testphase mit Office 365 mich für Office Student and Home 2013 gekauft. Sowohl mit Office 365 und jetzt 2013 funktioniert Excel nicht - nach formattieren einer Kolumne
für Zahlen, z.B. 2,47, und eingeben meiner Zahlen springt die Zahl um in ein Beispiel Zahl, zb. 63421.00. Was ist los? Warum akzeptiert Excel meine Zahlen?
Bitte um Hilfe.
VielenDank, VRWolter
Translation: I'm having problems with Excel 2013. I've bought a new laptop with 8.1 OS because of termination of support for XP (weep, weep). After the testphase with Office 365 I decided to buy Office Student and Home 2013. Both with Office 365 and now
with 2013 Excel doesn't work. After formatting a column for numbers and entering an amount, e.g. 2.47, and going on to the next row, the amount changes to a bizarre No. like 63421.00 and so on. So can anyone explain to me what's happeniing and why Excel doesn't
accept my entries.
I'd be grateful for help soonest.
Thanks in advance. V.R.-Wolter

Excel 2013 Constantly Crashes: Event 1000, Application Error 'Exception Code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00ac6660

Hello Microsoft Gurus!

What additional information is needed to decipher what is causing this to break? I have already tried suggestions from other technet articles (disabling hardware acceleration, using only 2013 files, safe mode excel, repairing office 2013, uninstalling/reinstalling
office 2013, etc.). I even tried using Procmon to try to find what 'function' was causing excel to crash but it was way beyond my expertise level. Can someone please advise what to do?
Also (not sure if this is related or not) Excel opens up 'blank' when he opens any type of model (.xls, .xlsx) that no other user is experiencing (exactly same computer model, same install, etc.). All the toolbars are there, but no data can be seen. Only when
he double clicks the top to shrink/maximize the excel window does the data appear.
Thanks!
btw, this verification thing is pretty stupid, i now have to manually type in the messages instead of just putting a picture. ugh.
