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.

Odata Connection Refresh Error while using excel web app - Project Online 2013

Hello All,
I am trying to work with odata reporting on project online 2013. I am not using MS Excel client, I open any of the available default report in excel online. when i try to refresh data connection from data tab. it's giving me an error
as show below
screen..
I have already enabled "PWA for excel web app refresh" feature.
Following the blog instructions and microsoft support, i have tried to grant permission to
AppId= 00000009-0000-0000-c000-000000000000
And In the Permission Request XML field, copy and paste the following XML:
<AppPermissionRequests>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope = "http://sharepoint/projectserver/reporting"
Right="Read">
    </AppPermissionRequest>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope = "http://sharepoint/content/tenant"
Right="FullControl">
    </AppPermissionRequest>
</AppPermissionRequests>
Now, According to the microsoft, it should show Microsoft.Azure.Azureservices as Title but as per below screen shot it shows Power BI Reporting and Analytics..
title.<o:p></o:p>
However, i click on ok button and check that the permission has been granted. i can see Microsoft Power BI reporting and analytics in the app permissions.
I again go to my BI reporting, open my report in excel online and refresh the data connection and nothing changed. It's giving me the same error.
I hope that i am able to narrate my problem. Please tell me, What i am missing here...

Ok, why did manually add / update the permission XML? Do you get this error for new Excel based reports? Test creating a new one, example here:

Is there any way to get the PivotTable Field List to appear in an embedded Excel Web Apps spreadsheet?

The PivotTable Field List shows up fine when using Excel Web Apps normally. It doesn't appear to be accesible via the javascript API and the main
Excel Web App cannot be embeded in a frame. Any ideas?

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Excel, this issue is more related to Excel Web app develop. I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Excel web app - simultaenous use & filtering

I've been led to understand that the only way to have true multi-user simultaneous editing of an Excel spreadsheet is to for all users to use the Excel web app to access the spreadsheet.
Whilst this is not a problem, I have found that if one person filters the spreadsheet, it then appears filtered to all users. Is there any way to stop this? I don't understand why this should be the case, since filtering is purely a view option and does
not alter the data (unlike e.g. sorting).

Hi Luis,
As I understand, you encounter the issue that multiple uses can edit the document via Excel Online at the same time. I can reproduce this issue on my side per your description.
It is an new improvement on Office Web App called “real-time co-authoring”, which helps us see where the co-authors are working in the document so that we don’t create conflicts as we edit.
You can find more information in the article below:
http://blogs.office.com/2013/11/06/collaboration-just-got-easier-real-time-co-authoring-now-available-in-office-web-apps/
As a workaround, if you don’t want the other users to filter the spreadsheet at the same time, I recommend that you can enable the “Require Check Out” function in the “Version Settings” of the Library Settings.
Then, once a user checked out the document, others can’t edit it at the same time.
Best Regards,
Yumi Fu

Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

Hi Lemesnil,
The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.

Anohter useful article aobut how to license Office Web App server, you can take a look.

Excel web app Review tab with SharePoint 2013

Is there a way to get the review tab to show up in Excel web app with SharePoint 2013 on-prem? Users want to be able to use the "add comments" feature while in the excel web app.

Hi,
That functionality isn't available in Excel Web App on-premise. I just applied the Oct 2014 CU to WAC and do not have it, so the feature just hasn't made it down yet.
You can use the "add comments" tab in excel client.
Here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

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

Programmatically Embed Arbitrary SkyDrive Workbook with Excel Web App

My use case is that I would like to have a web app which allows users to load an Excel file, whose format I do not control, and have the user select a range of cells from that file to send to a web service. I would like to embed an Excel Web App in
my web app for this purpose but in order to do this I need to programmatically embed an arbitrary workbook from SkyDrive that I don't know ahead of time. This means that I can't just use the manual Javascript Embed menu option in SkyDrive which provides
the fileToken. Can I pull an Excel Web App fileToken from SkyDrive programmatically? Is this the right way to approach the problem?
Thanks,
Jason

To the best of my knowledge, there is no straight-forward way to accomplish what you are looking for. You will need to transfer the file into your farm before Excel Services can load/render it.

How to customize an Excel web app?

Hello, I'm
planning to add
an Excel based fixed
deposit calculator
to my
website. I found
that it
is possible by
uploading an Excel
document to
the SkyDrive and
embedding the
code generated. My
question is,
can we modify
the size width
and other parameters
of the
default web app
generated by this
code? Is
it possible to
remove the black
frame at
the bottom (
which has
"Microsoft Excel
Web App,"
written on
it) if we
pay for Office
365?

Hi,
As your require, we need to find the Excel web app's API through SkyDrive.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh826521.aspx
And we also do have a few APIs that are available through Excel Services that is part of SharePoint.In SharePoint we have:
a SOAP Web Service
a javascript OM available in the browser
a REST API
More details on all of these are available here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms582023.aspx
If you have further questions about the issue, you post them to Excel web app forum better:

PowerView report not visible in Excel web App

Created a report using PowerView in Excel 2013 but it is not visible when i am viewing in Excel Web App?
Is there any settings we need to enable?
Kindly suggest.

Good question. This is something that's really hard to find an answer to in the docs. But as far as I can tell, you need SQL 2012 sp1 Enterprise or BI edition. Also, SSRS will have to be installed and configured in SharePoint integrated mode. Also, Excel
services will need to be configured to be used, not Excel Web apps.
For me, part of the confusion comes from the fact that there are actually several versions of Power View, and the docs are not always clear which version they're referring to, so my answer might be wrong.

Enterprise or BI, SSRS in Integrated mode: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc645993(SQL.110).aspx

Loading PowerBI workbooks in Excel Web App / SP Online issues

I have a number of PowerBI reports hosted on Office365 through SPOnline. These workbooks are viewed using Excel Online. I am travelling through the Netherlands at the moment and none of the larger workbooks (¬20mb) and above will
open, though they worked fine in my home server location (Asia). The smaller workbooks still open fine. I get a "connecting taking too long" error from the Excel Web app. I hope that this issue gets resolved as I would
expect these BI solutions to be available to global users no matter where they're hosted from.

Ryan, is this still an issue?
Thanks!

Excel Web App over RDS/XenApp

Within Office 2010 x64 applications in a RDS environment the Excel Help doesn't display the 'Microsoft Excel Web App' content.
To replicate the issue I do the following:
1. Within Excel 2010, press F1
2. Top left, search for 'IF Function'
3. Select 7th search result down - 'IF function
ArticleSyntax: IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false])'
4. Scroll down to Examples
The text displays but where the 'Excel Web App' content is meant to be, its blank.
We browsed to the same site directly into IE (http://office.microsoft.com/en-nz/excel-help/if-function-HP010342586.aspx) and
the same result happened, blank content.
This works in our RDS environment using Firefox and Chrome, but not IE8. IE9 appears to work.
It also works on my local PC using IE, Firefox and Chrome using the same user account and through the same proxy server as in the RDS session.
On our proxy server we have allowed all variations of microsoft.com, officeapps.live.com etc etc.

Hi,
As I have suggested earlier, have you tried to Reset IE on affected system and check the issue?
Also try to reset the Excel 2010 to default setting by deleting the key from registry from below mention path.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel
By removing the following registry keys may reset customized user settings for your Microsoft Office programs. For more information regarding resetting excel refer
this thread.
Note: Please backup the registry before deleting anything and also all warnings about the dangers of editing the registry apply and it’s on your own risk.
Apart from that, there is Hotfix 3 available for Citrix XenApp 6.5 for Server 2008 R2, try to download and install for checking the result.
Thanks.

Excel Web App not showing ribbon

Excel Web App ribbon is missing in the browser. Using IE8. It shows the document in the browser but there is just white space where the ribbon should be. Ever seen that?

Hi Matt, check out the following link for troubleshooting. Also, make sure you're using the 32-bit version of IE.
