PowerePivots Import Error: Only Access DB, Excel files or text files

I am running Excel 2010 on Windows XP SP3 with Power Pivots ver 11.0.3000.0
When i try to import data from excel sheets or Access DB or test files i get the following error
An error occurred while loading the file.
More Details:Failed to connect to the server. Reason: Unspecified error
No such issues with SQL server or OLAP Cube.  I can import data just fine using those.
 Any help would be much appreciated.
No such issues on other PC with similar configs. 
Thank you.
 

AJ,
Is this still an issue?
Thank you!

  • "An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files" connecting site with SharePoint Designer

    I have a SharePoint 2013 environment with 1 AD Server, 1 DB Server and 1 APP Server, with 13 Web Applications running under the SharePoint.
    Recently I rebuilted the application because of some infrasctrucutre problems, and I was able to solve all of them, except one. I can't connect to any of those 13 Web Apps with SharePoint Designer. When I try to connect, it always ask credentials, then it
    seems like loading the site, then the error appears:
    "An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files. Authors - if you are authoring against
    a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this server's Web site. WebMasters - please see the server's application event log for more details."
    I've spent hours troubleshooting it, but none of the information I found was valid. I've already tried to clean the cache, but didn't work. I found plenty of related data of this
    error with FrontPage and old versions of SharePoint, but nothing helped. All the Web Apps are SPD-Enabled at Site Collection Administration. I've tried connecting from many different PC's. The 15/LOGS folder doesn't get any data from this error, neither the
    Event Viewer.
    I really don't know what else to do. Please Help!

    I found the answer of my issue was in a .NET Agent installed by NewRelic on the server. I found a connection trouble with Fiddler, then I end up figuring this out:
    This can be the result of Real User Monitoring so the first step in troubleshooting would be to disable it and see how it affects the application. The .Net Agent injects snippets of javascript into the header of pages sent to the users browser to measure the
    page load time on the user's end.
    You can disable RUM by editing newrelic.config and changing this line:
    <browserMonitoring autoInstrument="true"/>
    to this:
    <browserMonitoring autoInstrument="false"/>

  • How do I populate the choices in a Combo Box in a PDF Form from an Excel spreadsheet or text file?

    Pleasel let me know if there is a way to copy and paste choices for a Combo Box from an Excel spreadsheet or text file.  I have over 250 values I'd like to add and don't trust my typing!
    Thanks for the help!
    Ken K. - 2191

    Yes, using the field.getItemAt method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.745.html
    E.g.:
    var aItems = [];
    var f = getField("combo1");
    for (var i = 0; i < f.numItems; i++) {
        aItems[i] = f.getItemAt(i);
    If there are export values you need to decide how to use the optional bExportValue parameter.

  • Save as PDF file as excel file or text file in vba excel

    Hi all,
    I am opening a PDF document fromm VBA excel. After opening document it should save the document as excel file or text file in one folder.
    I am trying to do this with some code but not able to , pls help me thatnks.
    Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
      Dim Part1Document As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
    Set Part1Document = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
       Part1Document.Open ("Z:\EG MI Information\MIS\Requests\Req_156\NO.1.pdf")

    Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set avdoc = app.GetActiveDoc
    app.MenuItemExecute ("SaveAs")
    thanks
    Abhijeet

    Hi,
    In the documentation for the saveAs function it has the following params
    cPath The device-independent path in which to save the file.
    cConvID (optional, Acrobat 6.0) A conversion ID string that specifies the conversion
    file type.
    cFS (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A string that specifies the source file system name.
    bCopy (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value which, if true, saves the PDF file
    as a copy. The default is false.
    bPromptToOverwrite (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value which, if true, prompts the user if
    the destination file already exists. The default is false.
    In order to get a text file saved you need to specify the correct cConvID.
    See the documentation for the valid convID's - http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.519.html
    Please note the Acrobat SDK contains all the information and does not require much installing ( as it is a zip file(on windows) and a disc image (on Mac) it just needs extracted)

  • Converting Excel Output to Text File (Text(MS-DOS)) in oracle 6i

    I have been able to save Excel Output to Text File (.txt) using OLE. However, I need to save it as TEXT(MS-DOS) specifically due to certain formatting issues.
    Kindly suggest some solution.
    I need it very urgently.
    Thanks!

    Hello Sandy,
    does this mean that you created an Excel file using OLE and named it *.txt?
    And what do you mean by saving as TEXT(MS-DOS)? A csv file?

  • Download File thru Text file and add password to protect text file

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You could use OLE to integrate SAP with Excel - create files, execute macros etc. (search for DOI on SAP help), but this will only work on the presentation server, so you couldn't run it as a service in background. I suppose your e-mails are sent through the internet, hence the requirement for encryption -- or maybe your client doesn't trust its network people! For this you really should use strong encryption -- anything less, you might as well send plain text. One solution to this would be to send the email down a VPDN -- this would encrypt all traffic between source and destination. Another would be to encrypt the file just before it is attached to the email. This could be done within ABAP, but perhaps a third party public key encryptor would be better placed. This could be invoked via a system command call, or as an RFC. A third solution would be to have your mail server handle the encryption.
    Heres the link for the above explaination

  • How I can save an existed Table "exactly" into an Excel or a Text file?

    I am able to save from a Table into an Excel file, but I could not put in it the following:
    a)Column Headers
    b)First column should be integer
    c)The Scientific notation (supposed to be with 6 decimal point) but it shows only two decimal point
    d)In the last 3 rows, it couldn't understand --> it showed Zero's
    ***> It shows better when I changed the data.xls to data.txt ... only solved c)
    ***> You cam modify completely how to write into the Excel or Text file ... but do not change the way I write to the TABLE (I have "no choice" to keep it that way!)
    Attachments:
    Write_Table.vi ‏51 KB

    First of all, the Write to Spreadsheet File function does not create an Excel file. It creates a text file with values separated by a delimiter. Excel is capable of recognizing tabs and commas as delimiters and will convert the text into a spreadsheet.
    Most of your problems can be solved by converting Write to Spreadsheet to accept arrays of strings instead of arrays of numbers and adding the column headers to the array. You'll probably have to experiment with the Excel import function as well.
    Thye best way, however to get exactly what you want into Excel is to use ActiveX. There is an example the4 comes with LabVIEW that shows some of the basics. You can find other examples by searching the Developers Zone. NI also sells a toolkit for reading/
    writing Excel and Word files.

  • Batch list import is picky about line terminations in the text file

    After running into trouble trying to compose a batch list for import, I isolated the issue:
    The text file that you attempt to import must have "carriage return" characters at the end of each line. It can have a "carriage return" and a "line feed", but it cannot have only a "line feed".
    If you feed Final Cut a text file that does not meet this criteria, it will barf up this error message:
    One or more items on the header line do not match valid Browser column headers.
    Line terminators have been the cause of many a problem over the years! Typically, MSDOS/Windows systems tend to create text files that use a CR-LF combo. While Mac OS was typically just a CR. And UNIX systems have typically been just an LF. However, since Mac OS X is now a hybrid of older Mac ways, and UNIX ways, you can find mixed situations there. For example, the Mac OS X Text Edit program saves out files with just an LF, and thus can't be directly used to create batch lists for Final Cut.
    So, you need to be careful what means you use to create batch list text files.
    Hope this helps some poor soul some day!
    -Rick

    I am trying to export a batch list created in FCP 5.1 to someone with 6. I follow directions, export and save and then e-mail the file. When he tries to import it, he gets that message ("One or more items on the header line do not match valid Browser column headers"). But I have tried re-importing it from my desktop and have no problem. Is there a problem going with such simple data from 5.1 to 6? Is it possible that the e-mail transmission is corrupting the files?
    Thanks for suggestions.

  • How to export report to excel and to text file in previewer

    How to export report to excel?
    And, it takes long time for generate report to rtf or pdf file in previewer.
    How to speed up the process? or, it's better generate report to text file directly by Run_product?
    Please help!

    You can generate report to tab delimite format that can be imported to excel.
    As for the performance question, because reports can't specify what format when you run against previewer, so I don't know what previewer you are talking about. Generate to file is always faster than to your application previewer (assume) because you have one more step after output generated in the file: read from file and render it. Depends on the render and size of the output, it may have significant performance difference.
    Thanks,

  • Script for access or load of a text file in forms

    Hi all
    In the forms 6i I want to access or load a text file/csv file.
    For that me have created a button on a form and when button pressed trigger.
    But my problem is that for getting the output me not able to get what to write in the script like should be dbms package or print function or any other and where can me get the output.
    can anybody suggest me the script as well.

    Try:
    try {
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                                  new FileInputStream(file), encoding));
            textarea.read(in, null);
                in.close();
            catch (Exception ex) {
                System.err.println(ex, "Error reading file " + file);
            }

  • Search and replace data in excel using a text file

    Hi Scripting Guy:
    I was able to write a script based on all the examples in your blogs, but now I'm stuck:
    I have a text file, which has Server Name, IP Address, Comments
    ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, remote web server
    DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, remote app server
    XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, remote api server
    I have a excel file which has Server Name, IP Address, Protocol, Port. Server Name, and IP Addreess can repeat itself more than once in entire spreadsheet at any location: 
    Server1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    Server2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    Server3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    My script search for the excel spreadsheet for a array that I have defined [Server1,Server2,Server3,...], once the first value matches in spreadsheet it replaces all values of Server1 with first value in text file i.e: ABCServer1 so my new excel sheet looks
    this:
    ABCserver1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    DEFserver2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    XYZserver3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    What I also want is, when I replaces the "Server1" value in spreadsheet, it will also replace the IP Address in next column. This is where I'm stuck I can replace the value of Server Name, but I can't replace the IP address for text file. Remember
    "Server1" can be found at any place in spreadsheet but it will always have IP address column next to it.
    So this is what script will do if runs correctly:
    1) Read text file:
    ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, remote web server
    DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, remote app server
    XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, remote api server
    2) Before script run on excel sheet
    Server1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    Server2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    Server3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
    3) After script run on excel sheet
    ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, TCP, 80
    DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, TCP, 80
    XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, TCP, 80
    If you will see my script is able to replace "Server Name" in entire spreadsheet, but can't copy or replace the corespondent IP address in next column. 
    script:
    $text = "Server1","Server2","Server3"
    $replace=$replace = get-content C:\script\test.txt | foreach{ ($_.split(","))[0]}
    $File = "C:\script\test.xlsx"
    $now = [datetime]::now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
    #$now = get-date -Format "MM-dd-yyyy_hh:mm:ss"
    copy-Item C:\script\test.xlsx test_$now.xlsx
    # Setup Excel, open $File and set the the first worksheet
    $i=0
    $Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
    $Excel.visible = $true
    $Workbook = $Excel.workbooks.open($file)
    $Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheets
    $Worksheet = $Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1)
    $Range = $Worksheet.UsedRange
    Foreach($SearchString in $text){
    if ($Range.find("$SearchString")) {
        $Range.replace($SearchString,$replace[$i])
    else {$i++}
    $WorkBook.Save()
    $WorkBook.Close()
    [void]$excel.quit()
    Really appreciate your help
    Thanks

    Hey, thanks for helping me out. I checked online and I had to call Cells this way:
    $Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1).Cells.item($cell.Row,$cell.Column+1)=$test[$i].replace
    one problem I'm having is if the $server value repeats itself in excel sheet again it doesn't replace all values for lets see server 1:
    so thats how my excel sheet is:
    server1
    x
    TCP
    80
    server2
    x
    TCP
    80
    server3
    x
    TCP
    80
    server1
    x
    TCP
    80
    when I run the script thats how results looks:
    server1
    x
    TCP
    80
    REM88888SQL301A
    10.1.1.2
    TCP
    80
    REM88888SQL301B
    10.1.1.3
    TCP
    80
    REM88888SQL301
    10.1.1.1
    TCP
    80
    It skipped the line one on excel and changed value in line 4. As I mentioned above this can repeat $server can repeat itself anywhere in spreadsheet in multiple columns.
    What can we do so it will replace all server name and IP address?
    Thanks

    Dear Sanket,
    I think you are need use TO_CHAR() function
      to_char(test_write_rec.EMPNO) ,
      to_char(test_write_rec.HIREDATE,'DD.MM.YYYY')
      to_char(test_write_rec.SAL)

  • Oracle To Excel sheet or text files

    Requirement:
    We might have to get data from different column from different tables based on queries and store it in an Excel or Text files(using delimiters).
    This needs to be scheduled as a daily job. Is there any oracle tools available to do this efficiently?
    I also have chance to do this in Java using Apache POI but would like to know good options available with Oracle itself.
    If the tool is built in with Oracle 10G then it will be good.

    Hello user12094414.
    You've identified two basic requirements; 1) output to a file & 2) output the file daily.
    Some of the current responses already identify several different ways to output to a file. However, unless I'm mistaken, none of these address automating the task.
    Before getting too involved in trying to come up with a solution to a problem that may already have been solved, what tools are already available in your environment to perform automation? Oracle offers a scheduling package in the form of dbms_job, but you'll want to check with your DBAs as to whether this is an approved automation option or not. What OS does the database or remote server run on?
    As with most posts on this forum, the more information that you can provide, the better the response. You'll find that in many environments that the scheduling solution has a direct bearing on the method of data retrieval.
    Best of luck,
    Luke
