Power Query for Excel login/connection issue.

Hi all
I have recently installed Power Query for Microsoft Excel in MS Office 2013.
I can connect successfully to the all the BI Universes, create queries & design reports in Excel.
The problem that I have is that I can only do this with the Administrator account. The Admin account is the only account that can connect successfully to the BI universes.
I have created test user accounts,test groups and assigned security to basically reflect the same rights as the Admin group, but to no avail.
I have also assigned security to these users & groups on the application level (RESTful Web Service, Universes, Connections) , but no luck.
It constantly says : "Access to the Resource is forbidden"
The last thing I want to do is make the users part of the Administrator group. I'm sure you guys would agree that that would be like opening Pandora's Box

Hi Liang,
Power Query is part of Excel 2016 and can be found under the Data tab.
Regards,
M.

Where to find the timeout setting for connecting to SAP Bi Universe in Power Query for Excel

Hi All,
I am trying to connect a SAP BI Universe. I am able to login to the environment and get the list of folders. But on trying to use the universe inside the folder, I am getting a time out error. The time out happens exactly at 100 seconds always.
DataSource.Error: SapBusinessObjects: The operation has timed out
Can you let me know if any setting can be done to avoid this timeout and get the universe into power query?

I have the same problem with Version: 2.17.3850.242. It times out after 100 seconds.
In addition, I couldn't report it by sending a frown. Get the following error message
Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Power Query to SAP BO - Connection issue

Hi all,
I have spent a few hours trying to connect my Power Query addon to Business Objects.
But I am now facing an issue, and I can't do anything for it. It would be interesting to have your feedback on this :-)
I have the right address (link) to enter in the first invite in order to access to my universe, but my issue comes at the moment where I have to log in.
I know exactly what to enter, but the thing is that numbers in my password disappears when validating, and the authentification mode comes back on "Enterprise"
by default, so I am unable to link to my business objects universe...
I have all the minimum requirements, everything is ready to be used, I just have this small issue to fix... :-(
I have already uninstalled and re-installed it a few times to be sure...
Example with images :
1/ I enter my credentials as I should, and validate.
2/ Once I validated, I have an error message. When I go back in the options to see what is currently used for the connection, here is what I get :
Numbers disappeared and enterprise came back by default.
Did someone met this issue before? How could I found a workaround solution?
Thanks to all of you for your help and have a great evening,
Best regards,
Anthony.

I can confirm that modes other than "Windows AD" are not getting properly represented by the credentials dialog. We'll file a work item to fix this.
I cannot reproduce the issue where the numbers at the end of the password are truncated. The number of dots in the password field doesn't actually represent the length of the password that was entered previously and will be used. Maybe there's
some confusion because of that?
Is this issue blocking you from connecting? If so, are you blocked from connecting because the password gets truncated?

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?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Using Power Query in Excel for Power BI Report with OData Feedfack

I am trying to get the data into Excel Power Query from Dynamics CRM 2013 using OData Feedback.
Every thing works fine but the data that I retrieve in Power Query Editor shows columns as Record and when I expand it by selecting Value option shown it provides me the data in integer format whereas I want the name.
Basically it only provides me the value or id of the field from CRM, How could I obtain the Name field in it.

The documents should load but you won't be able to refresh your data. You should just see what was loaded to the sheet when you previously saved the document. Changes that you make in the iOS version shouldn't overwrite the PQ info and you should be able
to edit the queries and refresh when you load it back into a desktop Excel client. Please let us know if your experience deviates from these expectations.

Excel ODBC Connection Issues

I'm having some issues importing external data from an Oracle 9i database.
Here is what is happening:
I am initially able to import data from the table I want to into Excel.
I do this through "Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query" where I have my .ORA data source. I'm able to log in using my user and password and import the table. My problems come after I import this first set of data.
If I try to "Edit Query…" I get an error box that says "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
If I try to "Refresh Data" I get two error boxes. The first is just: "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]" and the next says: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". It then prompts me for the User name and password of the DB I'm connecting and after I enter the information, I get the same two error messages.
Also, if I attempt to establish another connection following the "Data -> Import External Data…" steps I run into a different problem. Upon entering the information for the User Name and password prompt I get two error messages. One says "!" and the next box says "Couldn't read this file". Once I click "OK" in those boxes, the Microsoft Query window automatically opens with nothing in it.
I can't seem to figure out why I can initially pull down data and then cannot succeed afterwards. I'm unable to connect to the DB I have through Excel until I completely closed all Microsoft Excel instances.
I also use this data source in Microsoft Access without any problems.
My Excel version is 2003.
I'm using Oracle Drivers I'm using are from an "Instant Client" package.
Any thoughts why I'm having these connections issues?
Thanks in advance.

This issue is closed.
The solution was:
"Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data"
Select "New Source" and select the "Oracle" data source and filled in the appropriate information. This was similar to the database query but it actually works.

Moving Power Query from Excel to SSAS

We are using Excel 2013 Power Query and PowerPivot to build data models that will be moved to SSAS Tabular. Are there any gotchas that will not import? I have seen in testing that we have to be careful about importing files. Excel likes drive letters and
SQL Server prefers the UNC path. We aren't likely to have many/any files in the production state, but I'm wondering if there are other gotchas like this, especially with Power Query.

Any ideas for Mike?
Thanks!

Power Query for Google Sheets

Does anyone know of any plans to create an add-on for Power Query in Google Sheets? I have played with the IMPORTHTML function but it doesn't provide the same data manipulation tools the PQ does. I haven't had any luck finding anything in Google
searches.
Thanks

Here's a way you can do this without a built-in connector:
Make your Google Docs workbook visible to anyone that has the link (or public).
Go File > Download as > Microsoft Excel.
Get the link that was used in the browser's download manager.
Go in PQ > From Web.
Paste the link.
Click "OK"
The workbook will be download as an Excel workbook and opened in PQ.

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Power Bi for o365 - Odata connection test worked but "The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details". Port 8051? Authority\System

We set up the Data Management Gateway and created a new data source (odata to SQL via sqL user)
Did a connection test and it was successful!
Tried the URL (maybe it needs more):
https://ourdomain.hybridproxy.powerbi.com/ODataService/v1.0/odatatest
That resolves to some :8051 port address and then spits out this message:
The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.
I checked and the data management gateway is running.
Does that 8051 port need to be opened on our firewall for this server? How can I confirm that is the issue.. I see no event on the server indicating this is the issue?
I am seeing this event:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'PowerBiTest'. [CLIENT: IP of the Server]

O365,
Is this still an issue?
Thanks!

Need suggestion for a database connection issue in an EJB Application

Hi Friends,
I am facing some serious problem in my EJB application. Some times, my application is waiting for unknown reason while it connects to database as executing a stored procedure to get and assign a unique number to a transaction.
This stored procedure is used to get a unique number from database and update the database with the new unique number which is incremented by previous number.
During this waiting time, if any other transaction hits my application, then my application assigning same unique number to these 2 transactions.
But It is not happening always. It is happening very less number of times. What should I take care of the code to not happen this? Can I implement any synchronization kind of thing here?
If I implement synchronization kind of thing, If the first transaction gets the lock and waits for some time, then I think it will effect for subsequent transactions. Could You please suggest me on this issue?
Thanks in Advance to All.

List of solution proposals for the WiFi connectivity issue?

I have had my MacBook for two weeks now and have only been able to use my wireless network at the very first day where it actually worked. As the connection works perfect from my PC I'm sure that it is either my MacBook or Leopard that causes the problem.
The problem appears in three ways. Sometimes my mac just can't see the network, other times it is vissible on the network list but unable to get connected to it. The third way is the most common - It gets connection but there is no flow (sometimes there is flow for a few minutes other times I have very slow flow - almost like a 28.8 baud modem) and no connection to the USB disk attached to the network. The Airport Extreme base is a few meters from the MacBook so it definitely not caused by distance.
I have tried a lot of solution proposals but nothing that worked. Heres my list:
- Clean install of Leopard. That didn't help anything.
- Deleting com.apple.airport.preferences.plist from Library -> Preferences ->SystemConfiguration. No effect.
- Restarting in Safe Mode. No effect.
- Removing encryption and leaving the network open. No effect.
- Changing the network name. No effect.
- Chaning the locality name. No effect.
Not being able to connect to the network is a highly annoying bug so I'm considering to return my MacBook if there isn't an effective solution. But before I take it to the dealer I would like to hear some more solution proposals.
Anyone?

The fact it works under Boot Camp and not under Leopard, suggests a damaged file or preference in Leopard. Sometimes by deleting all the locations in the Network preferences, and reconfiguring your airport setup there you can fix the issue. Other times it may be some software damaging the preference or cache files for the network settings. Are you using any third party utility software?
How much space do you have free on how big a hard drive?
