Re: Essbase Add-in and Excel 2010

I have a user who is getting the following error:
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem11r1\products\exceladdin\bin\essexcin.xll" add-in. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Do we need to reinstall the Essbase add-in ?
I have had the user disable other add-ins via 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins and that didn't resolve the problem.
Are there any compatibility issues with 64 bit Excel?
Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear
'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins
Excel version : 2010
Add-in version Essbase Spreadsheet add-in, Fusion Edition 11.1.2
I would appreciate a quick response.
My email id is < removed by moderator so that you don't get spammed for all Eternity >

Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear

Oracle Essbase Query Designer Addin.
The items which I have in 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins is:

Could you please kindly help me understand the difference?
Do you recommend reinstalling the Essbase add-in ?
Thank you very much for your help.

Essbase Add-in and Excel 2010

Hi All,
I have a user who has just had Windows 7 and excel 2010 installed and is able to connect to Essbase through the add-in but when he tries to retrieve data it completely crashes his excel which shuts down immediately.
As far as I have read the add-in does not support 2010 64-bit but I have win7 and excel 2010 and do not have the same problem and I am to retrieve data with no issues. We both have the 32-bit version of 2010 so I'm not sure why his excel is shutting down.
We are on 11.1.1.3 of Essbase
Any pointers or experiences you can give are appreciated
Thanks
Luke

Is there any other addin installed on this machine, if yes try the retrieval after disabling that addin.
If not
Try un-install and re-install of Essbase Excel Addin

Essbase Add-in and Office 2010 double clicking drilling down issue

We have Office 2010 and Essbase Add-in 6.5.4 and some users are having issues when double clicking to zoom in. When using the double-click to drill down, it flashes a few times and drills down to the lowest level even though it is setup to zoom to the next level. It works when you use zoom in from the menu and this doesnt happen to all the users. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

We had similar issue but with lower versions of excel where a double click acts continously till the lowest level is reached for the member selected. Notice that all the members are not at the lowest level, it only happens for the current selected cell in excel.
In my case a re-install of add-in worked. Have you tried re-installing add-in. See that unistall is complete before re-installation. As you understand the problem is not with all machines/users, hence it should not be an issue with add-in.

Problem: Excel Add-in with Excel 2010

I recently installed the essbase spreadsheet add-in onto Excel 2010 and it worked fine,(previosuly there was 9.3.1 Excel add-in and i removed and installed Excel add-in 11.1.2.2) but after some days it is giving beolw messgae:-
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\hyperion\analyticservices\bin\essexcln.xll' addin. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Has anyone else seen this error, know of a work around or whether a new version is in the works?

This generally happens if your excel gets crashed due to some reason / your system gets force shutdown. As suggested above, you can enable it.
Note: When you get that message to disable, do not click yes.

PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010

Could I ask a couple of questions about the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010?
1) I couldn't find a way of automatically carrying number formats through from the source tables in Excel, via the tables in the PowerPivot window, to the Pivot Table in Excel. For example I have £7.20 in a source table, but this appears as £7.2 in
the Power Pivot window and 7.2 in the Pivot Table in Excel (3 different formats). Is it possible to get the value to appear
automatically as £7.20 in all 3 places?
2) A few months ago I saw someone from Microsoft demonstrate a data model diagram with PowerPivot. I couldn't see this in the PowerPivot Add-In for Excel 2010. Is it only available with Excel 2013?
Many thanks.

1) Number formats have to be done manually,
    in three different places.
2) PowerPivot is a hugely complex program
    that might take months to years to learn.
    A simple demo is not going to accomplish much.
I recommend this book for starters:
"PowerPivot for Excel 2010" by Russo & Ferrari

Essbase Add-in and scheduled tasks - Canned reports

I have been trying to figure out how to run our canned reports utilizing the WIndows Task Scheduler. We currently run most of our canned reports in Excel with the Essbase Add-In and VBA. DOes anyone out there have any suggestions on how I can run these reports daily by scheduling them to run?

Have you explored reporting tool such as Oracle BIEE, Hyperion Interactive Reporting or Financial Reporting? These 3 have the capabilities to schedule reports.

Performance issues when using Smart View and Excel 2010

Hello, we are experiencing very slow retrieval times when using Smart View and Excel 2010. Currently on v.11.1.3.00 and moved over from Excel 2003 in the last quarter. The same spreadsheets in 2010 (recreated) are running much slower than they used to in 2003 and I was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems?
It looks like there is some background caching going on as when you copy and paste the contents into a new file and retrieve it is better.....initially. The size of the files are generally less than 2mb and there aren't an expecially large number of subcubes requested so I am at a loss to explain or alleviate the issues.
Any advice / tips on how to optimise the performance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

CR2008 , WebI and Excel 2010

Hi There
I have CR2008 SP1 and Excel 2010, when I tried to export CR report to excel, I got the error and the program will be terminated, if I select "constant column width( in points)", the report can be exported to excel, but if I select the default setting "column width based on the objects in the whole report", it will give me the error
The instruction at "0xff168b1c" referenced memory at "0xff168b1c". The memory could not be "read", click on OK to terminated the program, then second error will show up
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0150010) occured in the application at location 0x7c94487f. Click on Ok to terminated the program...
also I have BO XI 3.1 SP3, when I tried to export my WebI report to excel, it does not use Excel 2010 feature(support over 65536 rows), it will split the report with over 65536 rows into two sheets like with Excel 2003
does anyone know how to fix these two issues?
thanks

Hello,
Excel 2010 is not supported in CR 2008. It is in the next version of CR 2011.
No option to not get sheets for more than 65k rows, limitation of Excel.
Install CR 2008 SP 3, requires an uninstall first. Be sure to have your CR keycode available.

Cannot view Master Data Services Models with Excel Add-In, using MSSQServer 2014 Trial and Excel 2010 (non-trial)

I'm using using MSSQServer 2014 Trial with Master Data Services installed. I have connected to the MDS server with the Excel 2010 MDS Add-In.
Models are not listed in the Add-In's Explorer browser. When I open the MDS server with IE, no models are listed either.
I can view them locally on the server in IE.
There are no remote DB access issues.
Is it just that the 2014 Trial version does not supply this info remotely??

Was a Model Permission issue. Fixed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487055.aspx
Would be good if the interface would show some kind of alert to that fact.

Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

Hi,
I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) -
Other combinations:
Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again.
I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
be solved.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Daryl

Thank you Max.
I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.

Problem with solver DLL load and Excel 2010

Since upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010 we've started to experience a problem with the solver addin when our own analytics addins is also loaded. I have found a solution, but I think it may highlight a problem with the latest version of the solver
addin for Excel 2010.
Firstly, to describe the problem - the solver addin seems to load normally when Excel 2010 starts up, however when a "Solve" is performed we are seeing a "File not found: Solver32.dll" error at the final "Keep Solver Solution" stage. This only happens our
own analytics addin is loaded. We've been careful to make sure that our own addin does not change the working directory and also that it has been built against the correct Excel 2010 SDK libraries. We do not see this error with any other versions of Excel
running on the same PC or any other environment.
After some searching we found other people were having similar problems and after a bit more probing I found a solution that works - but that I'm not very happy with.
If I copy the Solver32.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER
(where it was installed)
into :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
(where Windows 7 keeps its 32 bit system DLLs)
then the problem goes away.
This seems to indicate that somehow Office 2010 has a problem that causes it to search in the wrong folder for the Solver32.dll when another addin is loaded in between the original Solver32.XLAM at start up and the use of the Solver in the sheet (which eventually
requires this DLL to be loaded). Oddly, this only happens after a solution is found and "Keep Solver Solution" is selected - and I'm not sure why it's not looking for Solver32.dll any earlier.
This is not a problem with any earlier versions of Excel and I suspect is a bug in the Office14/LIBRARY/SOLVER implementation. Is there any way to get this followed up?
Thanks,
Andy

I'm facing the same issue. With an Excel VSTO add-in we're building. When the add-in is enabled the assembly solver32.dll can't be found. With our add-in disabled the DLL is resolved as (Sysinternals Process Monitor trace):

and with our add-in enabled the following locations are tried, but solver32.dll won't be found:

Information of Print Area is missing in VB6 Addin of version Excel 2007 and Excel 2010

Hallo,
I have a problem with my old VB 6 COM Addin. My document has Print Area, but when I use my addin to open this document. The information of print area is lost.
This problem takes place only in the following situations.
If the PrintArea is set in Excel 2007 and 2010, it will be missing. But in Excel 2003 without problem.
From the code, the ".ActiveSheet.PageSetup.printArea" is always empty, although when the print area is configurate in Excel 2007 and 2010
What is the possible reason of this problem?
Thanks very much.

There are several things I don't follow in the details you gave
"I click an excel document in the third-part program and Excel 2007 will be open automatically"
- Describe the 3rd party program you open the workbook in if not Excel"
- What do you mean by "click and Excel document", what do you click and where is the document
- Why click on an Excel document (workbook, worksheet something else?) to get a 3rd party app to automate Excel, then does some other workbook load?
It's very confusing!
Did you try the code in VBA in the instance of the workbook whose sheet you want to return the Print Area
Re: Excel Object Library is 9.0
Did you set a reference to XL-9 in the test app with my code then transfer to a different system with 2007?
However, a ref to xl-9 shouldn't be a problem if the code compiled with that ref. If the app/dll is transferred to a different system it will pick up the Excel GUID in that system, which is exactly the same for all versions since Excel97. The only time it
would be an issue is if code compiled with a new object model is not supported when used with an older Excel object model.
The fact my code appears to work without error returning the message "Print Area not defined" suggests it is referring to a different workbook, ie one in which the Print-Area has not been defined. Double check which workbook it is referring to,
eg
Private Sub cbPrintArea_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, _
CancelDefault As Boolean)
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Dim s As String, s2 As String
On Error Resume Next
s = xlApp.Caption
If Err.Number Then
MsgBox "xlApp error " & vbCr & Err.Description
Exit Sub
End If
Set ws = xlApp.ActiveSheet
s2 = ws.Parent.Name & vbCr & _
ws.Name & vbCr & _
ws.Range("A1").Value & vbCr
If Err.Number > 0 Then
MsgBox "failed to reference ActiveSheet"
Else
s = ws.PageSetup.PrintArea
If Err.Number Then
MsgBox Err.Description
Else
If Len(s) = 0 Then s = "Print Area not defined"
MsgBox s2 & vbCr & s
End If
End If
End Sub
This should confirm the workbook name, activesheet name and value in A1 (before running maybe add the current time in A1 with ctrl-shift-; in the same workbook as the print-area has been defined)

Add-in and Excel 2007

Hi everyone, Does anybody know if essbase Add-in version 6.5.5 will work togehter with Excel 2007? I really cannot find any detail on this. Thanks in advance 

Chances are, your VBA code isn't broken because of the API, but because the old xls/xla workbook had a reference to the old excel object model. Go to the VBA editor and choose the Tools/References menu item. Look for any "missing" entries and perhaps the new version of excel has an equivalent. If a reference is missing, it can cause certain functions to lose their definition and it shows up as broken code (i.e. no definitions for string functions like len, format$, etc... is a frequent side effect). There is another possibility, a more pervasive and complicated one (at least to explain). Excel 2007 may be interpreting the module defines differently. The API modules with essbase use a patter like this: 1: Declare Function EssSomething1 Lib "esbapin.DLL" (etc...) 2: Declare Function EssSomething2 Lib "esbapin" (etc...) 3: Declare Function EssOtlSomething1 Lib "esbotln.DLL" (etc...) 4: Declare Function EssOtlSomething2 Lib "esbotln" (etc...) The first definition sort of "keys" the dll to the VBA module, so subsequent references don't particularly need the .DLL extension. The problem is that if the first use of the dll doesn't include the extension, the dynamic linking isn't always resolved properly. In at least one case, I've had to add the extension TO EVERY SINGLE DECLARE. This resolved my issue, and it wasn't especially difficult to do, but I have no definitive explanation for why it was necessary or what made to resolve the issue. So, do I recommend you try this fix? Only as a last resort. I'd check the references for missing modules first, as it's more likely to be an issue and it's really easy to do. HTH, -Doug.

BO XI 3.1 SP3 and Excel 2010

Hi There
My BO is BO XI 3.1 SP3, and excel is 2010, my webi report has over 65523 rows, but I found in the excel, it will split into two tabs, it does not use excel 2010 feature
does any one know the reason?
thanks

Excel 2010 is not suportive by BO XI 3.. It is possible in BO XI 4.0. You can try What Gowtam Allu said, but I am not sure if it works.
