Problem with Excel automation refnum

While presenting ActiveX functions to students, I ran into an unexpected problem : only half of the PCs were able to work with Excel after the initial basic steps :
place an automation refnum on the front panel
right-click the automation refnum, then select ActiveX class, then select browse
find Microsoft Excel objects library and select application
connect an Automation open function
etc...
What happened is that an error 3005 (Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in ... ) was generated on half the machines, while everything was running smoothly on the others.
A workaround was to grab a working automation refnum control from the examples shipped with LabVIEW. The icon appears different and has a black arrow instead of the purple one got from the refnums palette. But even with this refnum, the problem could be reproduced when the activeX class was changed forth and back !
All the systems (Windows XP- LV 8.2) and machines were identical, configured initially from the same disk image.
Do you an idea of what's going on there ? Do you know where I can get the black-arrowed automation refnum ?

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Performance Problems with Excel Client

Hello all,
We installed BPC 7.5 SP7 NW on our customeru2019s system and experience massive performance problems on our local clients in combination with Excel and MS Office in general.
u2022When opening u201CMaintain Dimension Membersu201D it takes some time (approx. 2 min) to open the Excel Sheet with the elements. The u201CSave to Serveru201D as well as the u201CProcess Dimensionu201D also takes time to execute. When executing u201CProcess Dimensionu201D the sandbox appears and it takes approx 2 min until the Process popup window appears. The process itself has normal performance.
u2022We also experienced slow performance with the opening or saving dynamic templates dialogue in the Excel Client. It takes some time until this dialogue appears.
In general, we experience slow performance every time BPC is opening a pop up window! We also experience slow performance when opening a (non BPC) MS Office document.
In order to resolve this issue we looked at the following notes and forum entries:
Notes: 1541181, 1531059, 1507575, 1479436, 1448502, 1288810
Forum: BPC NW slow Performance (Expand, Refresh, Saving) - How to enhance it?, [BPC for Excel] Dimension clicked, then Excel hangs
Can anybody give me tipps on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in Advance

Problem with Excel 2013 TaskPane

Hello,
I got problem with TaskPane on Excel 2013. With Excel 2007 and 2010 my program works perfectly.
I'm opening a workbook and making custom ribbon, but my workbook is hided and the problem comes that first time i can see TaskPane but after any other workbook opening and closing i can't show TaskPane because Globals.ThisAddIn.SarasuTaskPane.Visible
= true don't showing me TaskPane. Actual it's showing but we can't see it because it's hided with workbook, and if i unhide workbook i can see and use it. But i need my main workbook to be not visible for all time and users must see TaskPane.
I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub
3. That Sub loads my COM AddIn, and opens another .xlsm file (at the moment there are 2 .xlsm files opened)
4. My Add-in creates TaskPane, and TaskPane adds on my first .xlsm file(i noticed), and it's fine i can see it. But then i try some of my functions which sets TaskPane visible - false, and opens another .xlsx file then closes it, and trying to do TaskPane visible
- true no errors but also no TaskPane, then i Manually unhide my first Workbook i can see the TaskPane, when i hide it manualy - TaskPane hides too.. and this only on Excel 2013.
Any ideas to solve this? As i mention before with Excel 2007 and 2010 no problems it's works perfectly.
sincerely,
Julius

I have used you code to hide a panel , it works fine
Maybe my first post was incorrectly written. I will try write step by step.

Problem with Excel 2013 on W8 and WD NAS

With my W8 laptop, I get a lot of problem saving excel file on my NAS. I get "we can't save filename.xlsx because the file is in read-only. To keep your changes you'll need to save the workbook with a new name or in a different location..."
I'm alone using the file. Not being use by anyone else.
Exemple: load file "A" from the NAS, can't save it back on the NAS. I save it as "B" on my desktop. Open "B" do some change and try to save it... get " that someone else is using the file....
Only way is to save it one a 3rd name...
I have this issue often but not all the time..
Don't see this with W7pro laptops...
Thank you

Hi FGauthier,
Have you ever try to save Document ,PPT file or Text file to the NAS? Does this issue only occurs with excel file?
what will happen if you copy the file to NAS instead of use the 'save as' feature within excel?
When you open the excel file, if it flagged as read-only, try to right-click the file, check if the read-only option is ticked. Also you can try to save the file as different file format to test this issue.
Also please check if you enable the preview pane, try to disable it .
a) Open File Explorer.
b) Click on View Tab.
c) Click on Preview Pane to view\hide it.

Problems with Excel 2007 and Essbase 6.5

Hi,
Two quick questions:
1. We are planning to upgrade our office to 2007, XP professional SP2 but still going to use Essbase excel add-in 6.5 for some users and Essbase 7.3 add-in for others. Has anyone faced any problems with this combination?
2. The only problem I encountered so far was when I double click a member name for retrieval, the pointer (cursor/icon) flickers / flashes continuously. But when I take the pointer out of the excel spreadsheet, the flicker goes away. Does anyone know a fix to this. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm admin of an hyperion essbase database.
I'm testing our addin 6.5.1 with excel 2007.
First problem evocated on retrieve is confirmed.
I continue my test and tell you if i find another problem.
What i would say is that old version can be unsupported but i'm sure we can use this addin on excel 2007, i hope.
Regards.

SSRS 2012 problem with excel export

Hello
I updated SSRS 2005 up to SSRS 2012. When I exported report in excel (xlsx) I got following warning :
"We found a problem with some conent in 'filnename.xlsx'.Do you want to try to recover as much as we can? if you trust the source of this workbook,click yes"
After Pressing Yes Button
"REpaired Recors: Cell information from .xl.worksheets.sheet1.xml port"
15
0.00000000000000000000 this is in string format instead decimal
2
0.00000000000000000000
This heppens if i have decimal(38.20) variable in table and record value is 0.
To avoid this problem i must change report and use this expression
=IIF(Fields!SomeValue.Value = 0, 0, Fields! SomeValue.Value)
for value in report, but this is not sulution for me because we have more then hundred reports.
Is any other solution?

Hi LashaGurgenidze,
The issue seems to be related to the Excel 2010 or the Excel 2007-2010 rendering extension in SSRS 2012. If possible, I suggest that you keep the Office 2010 and the SQL Server 2012 up to date, and check the issue again.
In order to solve the issue, we can enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension in SSRS 2012, and use this render when exporting to Excel. We can modify the EXCEL render extension in the rsreportserver.config file as follows:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"/>
Then, the Excel 2003 render extension will be available in the Export drop-down list.
By default, the file is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Before we modify it please backup the rsreportserver.config file.

Anyone seen this problem with Excel 2003?

We're developing a Microsoft Excel-based app. The help system uses HTML Help (.chm) format, and works just fine with Excel 2007 and 2010. However, since a lot of potential users out there are still using older versions, we've been asked to adapt the app for Excel 2002 and 2003.
The help system works, more or less, with Excel 2002, but when we try it with Excel 2003 the tri-pane is missing. The default topic appears but the left-hand pane containing the navigation system (TOC, Index and Search) is missing. Consequently, users can't move away from the default topic. Has anyone come across this problem before, and do you know how to fix it?

I cannot help you with this one other than to say I haven't seen any other such reports. That may suggest it is worth checking for some small difference you haven't identified yet.
Of course it could also mean there aren't many people with that workflow.

Email attachment problems with "excel" files.

I have just upgraded to the iphone 4 from the 3gs and since doing so any emails I receive with excel files attached will not open the attachment? These files openened with no problem on the same email account on my 3gs.
Instead when I download the attachment and go to open it I am met with a page displaying....
"Unable to read document.
An error occured while reading the document."
Has anyone else having this problem or even better anyone know what the fix is to get these files showing up?
Any help would be appreciated,
Kris

After much frustration about excel files not opening and repeatedly not getting answers from apple, I think I might have found another way. It seems that the new apple OS does not support older versions of excel. By saving the excel file in question (Save As) to "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook" the Workbook opens just fine as an E-mail attachment. If you have macro's you can save as "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook (Macro Enabled)" and it works also.
The Workbook in question as far as I was concerned was created in Microsoft Excel 2003.
Hope this helps
Apple needs to get on the ball. This was almost a dealbreaker with me.
Android is looking better and better every day.

How to troubleshoot problems with Excel import

When I import a spreadsheet from Excel into Numbers, I get a notification window with a long list of errors encountered during the import. I can deal with the formatting issues, and I've managed to get rid of most of the "unsupported formulas" errors. However, I still have one stubborn "unsupported formulas" error. How do I get Numbers to identify which cell(s) have unsupported formulas that were removed on import from Excel?

There are some triangle symbols, but they refer to using a BOOLEAN as a number. That's not where the problem with unsupported formulas is, though. Numbers says that it replaced the cells that had unsupported formulas with the contents of the cell at the time of import, which I interpret as meaning that I should be looking at cells that don't contain formulas. My problem is that I have lots of cells that contain only numbers, and I somehow need to find that single cell that have an unsupported formula in the Excel version of the file.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Problems with Excel and Word 2013 saving to OneDrive for Business

I've had OneDrive for Business running for about a month without any problems. On Thursday I noticed I wasn't able to save an Excel 2013 spreadsheet to my OneDrive account. When I try to save it a box comes up that it's communicating with OneDrive then I
get an error that the file wasn't able to upload due to permissions. I've tried to resync and repair OneDrive, but that didn't help. I also repaired Office 2013.
If I create a txt file in Notepad I can save immediately to the same folder on OneDrive. If I create a new spreadsheet and hit the browse button to save it takes forever for OneDrive to access the folder then I get an upload error saying it cannot save and
to make a copy.
Should I re-install Office 2013?

Hi,
Are you able to new a Word/Excel file directly in that OneDrive folder?
Please first try to remove and re-add the OneDrive service in Office and then verify result.
You might also want to install any available updates, make sure your system/Office is up to date and then try again.

Ethan Hua

File association problem with excel

hi everybody,
i have the following annoying little problem, couldn't find any answers so far in the forum:
i have some downloaded files (just plain text files) that i call ".in", and finder lists those as "microsoft excel binary document". now i want to associate those files to open with textwrangler as standard app. if i get information for those files and set "open with" to textwrangler, as soon as i click "change all" it reverts the application in the "open with" box to "microsoft excel", meaning i can never change the filetype permanently.
anybody know what i might be doing wrong, or what i can do to make the change stick?
thanks

Hi Gopal,
There is a a column width optimize function of SLIS ALV layout.
colwidth_optimize(1) type c
but, i am not sure if it works.
Also, when the report is generated, there is an option in the menu.
Go to "Setting --> Columns --> Optimize Width"
With this, it optimizes the column width based on data width but when you download, it reverts to the dictionary field length.

Vivek
