Powerpivot/View or BIDS

I would like to experiment with an alternate way of creating custom reports.
I am looking at either doing it with Powerpivot or BIDS, but would like to have some pointers or step by steps before starting with the experimentation..
any good sources out there on this?

I would use BIDS and I'm not sure that you mean by alternate way. If you know how to write a report in RB then BIDS is not much different. It just can do a bit more.

  • Error 401 while trying to connect SSRS via BIDS Report Designer to PowerPivot workbook hosted in SharePoint 2013

    I am having trouble connecting from BIDS 2012 to a PowerPivot workbook hosted in SharePoint 2013. I'm following this guide:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413489.aspx but run into authentication problems (Error 401, access denied).
    I saw this issue comming up a number of times on this forum, but non of the proposed solutions really solve my issue. Also a lot of the solutions apply to SP2010. I verified the following items and they seem to be ok:
    All servers / clients are member of the same ad domain.
    The Excel PowerPivot file opens in SharePoint Excel Online and sliders and filters work (so connection SSAS / SharePoint is ok)
    I enabled Kerberos, and fiddler/ Kerberos auth tester (http://blog.michelbarneveld.nl/michel/archive/2009/12/05/kerberos-authentication-tester.aspx) are reporting kerberos is used when connecting to the sharepoint site.
    SPN for the sharepoint server is created and the sharepoint service account is allowed for delegation.
    When looking at fiddler when connecting to the PowerPivot document in BIDS, i see an ADOMD.net POST request to /_vti_bin/PowerPivot/redirector.svc/ failing with error 401, even the request containing the auth cookie.
    I updated the web.Config in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\PowerPivot to use CredentialType "Windows" instead
    of NTLM.
    In the sharepoint logs I find this error:

    Hi Adam,
    Thanks for helping out.
    The web-app is set to Negotiate so that's ok. I've reset the web.config back to Windows, but without luck.
    I did see some strange log entries in the ULS logs:

    You mentioned the claims-to-windows token service. How do i check if it is configured correctly?

  • Selection of approvers for Bid

    Hello all,
    My one more thread is going on for Bid approval workflow problem. But since the subject requirement is different opened a new thread.
    Version:
    SRM 4.0SP08 SRM server 5.0
    Set up:
    Strategic purchaser has role SAP_BBP_STAL_STRAT_PURCHASER and sap_all.
    Bidders have role of SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER
    Purchase manager has a role SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASE_MANAGER and sap_all
    The bidders are assigned to pur org for vendors "Vendor Porg"
    and the same is local.
    The bidders are created by strategic purchasers through EBP webpage and
    link "Manage External business partner".
    The purchaser manager is the boss of dept where the strat purchaser is
    attached.
    Workflow WS79000002 and WS79000010 are active with relevant currency.
    Business Process:
    The strat purchaser creates a bid Invitation , assigns bidders and
    publish the same.
    The bidders view the Bid Invitation , submit bids against it.
    the strat purchaser views the bids, rejects higher bids and accepts the
    lowest bid.
    This winning bid is then set in status "awaiting approval" and all the available
    managers are shown as the approvers in the approval window.
    Requirement:
    Our client wants that
    say 10 purchase managers are assigned to the purchase dept
    then the strat purchaser should be able to select the approvers.
    He can choose more than one approver and all of these must approve the bid to complete the process.
    PL. advise how to map these requirements in SRM.
    Masa has already given the BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_GET in this relation.
    (Hello Masa - Can you please ellaborate? )
    BR
    Dinesh

    Hello Dinesh,
    Do you need parallel approval or sequential approval ?
    I had similar requirement from customer and finally customer selected just simple 1 step approval. Specifying the approver by manual is not good from SOX compliance point of view.
    Anyway, several possibilities:
    1. If you maintain the Org. has 10 managers, the 10 managers get the approval workitem in his inbox. If one of the managers approve it, the workitem disappears from other manager's inbox. This is still 1 step approval.
    2. The purchaser can change the approver in the preview screen and you can filter the possible selection with the BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_GET. Purchaser can also add additional approvers.
    3. Set the approver rules in custom table and implements N-Step approval BADI. This is not manual approver selection.
    4. Manager can forward the workitem to the responsible manager.
    5. Manager can set delegation each other.
    I think 2. will fit in your case.
    Regards,
    Masa

  • BID approval workflow -single approver

    Hello  Masa,
    This is in continuation with my earlier post on other thread """"""
    Hello Masa,
    Sorry to hijack this thread but since my problem is of same nature (and may be simpler) Hence I thought I would make use of the same.
    I am activating Bid Invitation and Bid submission on our landscape.
    SRM 4.0SP08 EBP 5.0 WAS6.40 R/34.7
    In SRM org structure:
    - I have maintained a pur org for vendors.
    - assigned a manager to it.
    - assigned vendors/biiders to it with contact persons.
    (I have created these bidders via Manage External
    business partner from STRAT PURCHASER web page).
    - given the correct roles to strat purchaser & bidders.
    - activated workflows WS79000002 and WS79000010 with
    currency (the config guide says WS79000002 is
    mandatory eventhough there is no approval)
    Now Everything works fine i.e.:
    - Strat purchaser creates Bid Invitation.
    - Bidders can view this Bid Invitan and Submit their
    bids against it.
    - Strat purchaser can see the submitted bids and
    accept and reject the bids.
    The problem is:
    when acceptd bid does not show the approver ( which is assigned as a manager in Pur org for vendors)
    So I can not approve the bid and go ahead.
    I even tried assigning the user (manager) to task TS79007914 without any sucess.
    Can you please tell me which workflow , task or assignment I am missing??
    as I said with the settings you said the approver manager is appearing in the Bid approval window.
    But when the approver 'manager' logs in , he is not able to see the work item.
    not able to understand why?
    BR
    Dinesh

    Hello Masa and all,
    Thanks a lot for your input
    and apology for delayed reply.
    As described earlier the concerned task TS 79007914 is a general task and in OOCU I have not assigned any role or user to it.
    (is this what you meant to say?)
    The user MANAGER who is boss of my strategic purchaser should be the selected agent for this Bid approval.
    I have made this user as dept head in the dept of my strat purchaser ( in org structure).
    Am I missing somthing in define start conditions for workflow? (SWB_PROCUREMENT)
    I have only activated WS79000002 and specified currency (no other settings for that WF). Am I need to do some correction?
    I checked in
    SWI2_FREQ - no message
    BBP_PD - no alert found.
    Can you send me screen shots for workflow settings for Bid Invitation?
    Also our client wants that in the strat purchaser's dept there will be say 10 managers and any strat purchaser will have rights to select approver and reviewer link SC creation . How to achieve this ?
    Your inputs will be very valuable.
    BR

  • Bid Comparison - No table for a comparison

  • Workflow Problem (Accept the vendor bid).

    Hi Guys,
    I am activating Bid Invitation and Bid submission Using SRM 5.0.
    Now Everything works fine i.e.:
    - Strat purchaser creates Bid Invitation.
    - One step bid invitation workflow is working fine.
    - Approver can able to approve the bid invitation and publish sucessfully.
    - Bidders can view this Bid Invitan and Submit their bids against it.
    - Strat purchaser can see the submitted bids and accept and reject the bids.
    The problem is:
    The accepted bid (by Purchaser) should be approved by the manager.
    The status of bid (submitted by Vendor) is showing as "awaiting for approval" and in Approver preview it is showning the name of the Approver who has to approve that bid.
    But the inbox of that Approver is empty. So approver can not approve that bid and go ahead.
    I have activated the workflow WS79000002 One step approval of bid and start conditions of workflow WS790000002.
    Can you please tell me which workflow , task or assignment I am missing??
    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Sindy,
    the main question is where you have created the approver allocation, we miss many details:
    1. Workflow step
    - for each step you allocate the step in the worklow builder to the agent
    2. or customizing on vendor side (application)
    - details are needed to be looked for customizing
    I think we need further details how you evaluate the agents.

  • Restrict access to bid invitation cFolder documents

    SRM Experts,
    I have a requirement to restrict access to bid invitation cFolder documents.
    Here is the scenario:
    Buyer1 creates a bid invitation and a cFolder. We do not want any other buyers within our organization to access this bid invitation cFolder.
    How can this be achived?
    At this time, if a buyer (ex: Buyer2) has access to create a bid invitation or view a bid invitation, the system is automatically gives Buyer2 access to cFolder created by Buyer1.
    This needs to be restricted, any advice would be appreciated.
    Note: BADI BAdI BBP_CFOLDER_BADI is already deactivated in the system
    Please let me know if you have any ideas.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can restrict the access through Product categories in the PPOMA_BBP for each user .
    So that he can create  Bid invitation only to that product category..
    please check this link

  • Bid Invitation Alert - SRM_BID_INV

    Hi All,
    We have an issue with the Bid invitation alert, The alert providea a URL to the Bidders in the possible subsequent activities section of the triggered email for them to follow and check the Bid. Since this URL does not really work we have to replace it with a correct one. The problem is that this URL is not maintained or configured in the SRM_BID_INV in ALRTCATDEF. I tried by providing the new URL in the SRM_BID_INV alert and when triggered the mail has both the old URL followed by the new URL.
    Could anyone please tell me where this URL is coming from, or where i can check to see if its maintained.
    The OLD URL is basically the link to the sap server which when clicked asks for login details which the Bidder do not have.
    Thank you in Advance

    Hi YAng,
    Thank you for your response.
    I checked the BAPI and there are 2 custom smartfroms mentioned in the BAPI, one of which is a copy of the standard smartform BBP_OUTPUT_COVER.I checked the smartfroms but the alert message we recieve are not being generated from the smartform. The body and subject are all coming up from the SRM alert for the BID.
    I tested the Alert using the report RSALERTTEST and when this triggers the mail it only contains the URL which we have included in the Alert.But when this alert is triggered when we publish the BID invitation it has the OLD url also in the possible subsequent activities.
    Is there any possibility of this getting picked up due to some settings in the Alert.
    Below is the sample mail.
    Subject: Please check bid invitation 2000001041..
    Importance: High
    Alert ID: ##00581##
    Please check bid invitation 2000001041.

  • Drag and Drop via Data Control doesn't seem to bind input parameter.

    Hi Everyone,
    I've followed the 'how to drag and drop a webservice data control' excercise in my current application to bring back complex data on the basis of one parameter(appId). However, when running the application, the server logs indicate that 'The value of appId cannot be null'. I have definitely bound the appId to the requestIterator, and the button that calls the webservice has been bound accordingly too. The response tables have been bound to the responseIterator. The webservice definitely works, and brings back data as I've tested it with SoapUI for this appId.
    Is there something I'm missing?
    Any suggestions will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Preethi.

    Hi Sarojamaly,
    According to your description, when you create a Data Source View in BIDS/SSDT, you can't see the tables in the pane. Right?
    In this scenario, when creating data source, please make sure you select a correct data provider. For example, it you connect to SQL Server database, you should use
    Native OLE DB\SQL Server Native Client. Then please test your connection to the data source.
    If the tables still can't be displayed, please make sure you select proper database and the check tables existence in the database.

  • Report rows differing widths

    Hi,
    I have a report which contains 4 tablix one above the other all with exactly the same left, padding and width. In Bids preview all the rows display equal width and they also do if i export as PDF. However in report viewer all the tablix are different widths,
    some even have the header in one width and the details rows different.
    I believe the rows are being stretched as one of the cells has an image in which is stretched in report viewer and looks fine exported to pdf or viewed in bids.
    Does anyone know what the issue is?
    Regards
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    According to your description, you can render your report properly in BIDS and PDF file. However, when it displayed in report viewer, the tablix are in different size. Right?
    In this scenario, it seems the issue of the page size in report viewer. It seems the page size in report viewer is too small, so when displayed in report viewer, the image still keeps the same size as you preview in BIDS, and the other part need to
    resize so that it can fit the report viewer. Please try to adjust the page size. See link below:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251701(VS.80).aspx
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Using Slicer to change row dimension in pivot table

    I have a requirement to display a measure amount by Quarter,Month or Week of Year.  The user needs to select one of three slicer buttons, Quarter, Month or Week.  I have tried creating a calculated column in my tables, e.g PeriodToDisplay using
    "If" or "Switch".  
    PeriodToDisplay:=Switch (Dates[PeriodSelected],"Quarterly",FactTableName[Qtr],"Monthly",FactTableName[Month],"Weekly",FactTableName[weeknum])
    Where Dates[PeriodSelected] is just a 3 row table with , Quarterly,Monthly,Weekly rows.  I display those as a slicer in the powerpivot view.
    The FactTableNames are where the aggregation sql have been done.  The row labels now are:
    Qtr
    Month
    Week
    And the granularity i know can be collapsed by the user but they do not want to see a Qtr displayed when they only want to see the month.
     I receive an error message the Quarter is not in the proper context or is a circular reference.

    The behavior you want can be achieved with a hierarchy built in the Power Pivot model, and then using Excel's drill down functionality on the pivot table.
    Alternately, you could define an MDX named set for the pivot table to define the rowfilters.

    Has anyone else noticed that the Drag and dropping of ebooks / pdfs onto iOS devices, in iTunes has dissapeared?
    Is there ANY other way to get ebooks, and PDFs on the ios devices OTHER than setting up an iTunes sync?
    It would be nice if there was an option in the Mavericks iBooks application to "add to iPad" or to drag it in from there.
    Thanks

    Hi Sarojamaly,
    According to your description, when you create a Data Source View in BIDS/SSDT, you can't see the tables in the pane. Right?
    In this scenario, when creating data source, please make sure you select a correct data provider. For example, it you connect to SQL Server database, you should use
    Native OLE DB\SQL Server Native Client. Then please test your connection to the data source.
    If the tables still can't be displayed, please make sure you select proper database and the check tables existence in the database.

  • Scroll Pane - Drag and Drop

    Hello,
    I have to scroll panes and movie clips in the one scroll
    pane while the other is blank. I wanted the user to be able to drag
    the movie clip out of the one scroll pane and drop it into the
    blank one. Any ideas? I'm totally lost on this one.
    Thank You

    While browsing eBay, when I watch or bid on an item, and later view it again, many inches of white space appears before item appears. If I delete the clear recent history box, the pages will come up as they should for several times, then go back to a lot of extra white space. How can I prevent this? Thank you, Rick in English

    As stated in 1.:
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    Obviously, it will not harm your computer provided you follow the instructions. However, if you don't post your results in the thread where you were given those instructions, then the person helping you cannot help you further. As he asks at the end, "please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created."

    Hello,
    I'm afraid if You want to change it the only way is to decompile srmlaInitiator.jar and srmlaRespondent.jar and comment this column in AuctionItemsPanel.class
