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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

JSONP support for APEX RSS feed

Hi,
We have an APEX application that leverage's APEX and UCM API to create a RSS feed that is displayed on the Content Portal.
http://contentportal.oraclecorp.com/
The feed XML is converted to a JSON object and displayed on the home page using jquery.
Up until last week this feed was displaying fine but now its broken and can no longer be seen on the home page.
Our logs indicate that the feed content is being pulled as before without errors.
https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/IBUSCP.RSS
A test page created to investigate the issue shows the following error -
Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type application/rss+xml: "https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/IBUSCP.RSS?callback=jsonp1347857472289&feed=1&itemCount=20"
URL to the test page is :- http://apps-stage.oraclecorp.com/rss-test.html
Could this possibly have to do with the recent upgrade on the APEX server as this worked perfectly earlier?
Could the JSON support for RSS feed might have been affected?
Thanks and Regards,
Priya Jetley

Your servers are in a personal network and we can not connect to them without setting up some kind of vpn connection.
I would suggest that you install firebug in firefox and just look in the console what is happening.
Firebug can monitor json to.

How do i set different refresh frequencies for different RSS-feeds?

Suppose I have 10 different RSS-feeds. Now, I want feed #1 to refresh every 5 minutes, feed #2 - every hour, feed #3 - every 3 hours, etc. I know how to set refresh frequency for all the items in the RSS-folder (that's done through account settings). The problem is it can be done for the folder as a whole, but not for individual items.

Go into the app whose notification you want to change, hit menu, then settings (or preferences), you'll find the notification settings in there.

Old podcast rss feed no longer exists, do I need to creat a new podcast show for new rss feed?

Hi,
I have an established podcast (Tommy Unit Live) but the RSS feed is no longer valid. Do I need to request a new show (set up a new show) to update with the currect RSS feed?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Tom Meehan

Do you mean that the old feed no longer exists and you don't have access to the server to replace it? In that case your best hope is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to transfer the iTunes Store's attention to the new feed: give them the ID number or the URL of the Store page, and the URL of the new feed - check this beforehand by subscribing manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu) so that you are sure you are dealing with a working feed.
They've just done this for someone else so hopefully they will do it for you: the alternative is to start again from scratch and submit the new feed as a completely new podcast (you would need to change the title slightly or you will be told it has already been submitted).

App-V Reporting: SQL query for Excel Pivot Table to display App Usage (H/M/S)

I recently posted this in the Gallery. If anyone has any modifications or enhancements please feel free to contribute! One thing that I'd like to be able to add to it is the ability to only display information for applications/packages that are
still published, so if anyone can figure out a crafty way to do it... Thanks!

Nope, and no specific plans to enable it -- though your interest is noted.

Excruciatingly frustrating to have such an unintuitive message. What should I do to get power query working in excel 2013 and most importantly for excel to function ?

Hi,
It should be the latest version of Power Query. Make sure there is no old version of power Query installed in your computer.And what happens if you reinstall Power Query add-in or repair your office program?
Also Microsoft Power Query for Excel requires Internet Explorer 9 or greater.
