Refreshing Workbook in Bex

Hi,
I have a workbook which shows result in the form of chart. What' happening is that when I open the workbook it shows me the old saved chart info before showing the prompt and once i select the values then refreshes the chart.
What I want is the when i open the workbook it should open as blank one and when i select the values from the prompt then it should displays the result in the form of chart.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi,
delete the result and graph before saving it as work book and right click in the workbook and select "Refresh Query when opening workbook"
Kind regards

Error when refreshing workbook in BEx: Specific Macro CallBack not found

One of our users is getting the following error when refreshing any BEx workbook (in BI7):
Problems while calling the exit on refresh: Specified Macro 'CallBack' is not found in the workbook
This error suddenly started this week, everything was fine before that, and no changes have been made to the user's PC. The problem is specific to this one user's PC.
Any ideas?
-Jason

Hi,
It seems a common error.
There is a note that mentions the error, and was fixed since BI addons SP 8
Note: 1267942 - Custom macro not being executed on a workbook
Download and test the latest version: bi710sp12_1200-10004472.exe
This should fix the issue.
FYI: SAPGUI 640 is not supported by SAP since 2008. If you are using this version, please download the SAPGUI 7.10 as well.

Workbook in BEx Analyzer

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to create workbook in BEx Analyzer?
My workbook should be accessible by other users and should have several tabs which should update itself when refreshed.
Thanks,
Suriya

Hi Suriya,
Please go through the below doc for creating Workbook in Bex Analyzer
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d032116a-1ba6-2e10-8db6-d84e7dcc9975?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true

Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks

Hi,
Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks.
For instance when you edit,open an 3.x query in 7.0 query designer it is automatically migrated.Would it be same if we open it in 7.1 query designer?Is it possible to migrate queries and workbooks without any fail or deletion or loss?
Thank you.

I will add to the already excellent suggestions made above that the migration from Bex 3.x to Bex 7.0 is VERY laborious. There are no automated tools.
All queries and workbooks must be identified (use this as an opportunity to get rid of unused objects)
Each query must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as needed.
Each Workbook must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as well. The "Automated" conversion tool that SAP provides (it's behind the scenes Visual Basic) presents problems with at least 50% of the workbooks, and so they have to be manually fussed with.
If you've used Visual Basic at all in your Workbooks, you'll have to change 'em all. The On Refresh event no longer exists.
And of course, test... test.. test.. and test.
And don't forget to retrain your users. The User interface is dramatically different.
Good luck ! We're 3 months in to a five month conversion project.

BEx Browser35 for GUI720: Workbooks in BEx Analyzer cannot be opened

Hello,
When trying to open Workbooks using BEx Browser35 the Workbooks do net get opened within BEx Analyzer, the "lInks" seem to be inactive.
The test has been conducted using SAPGUI720 with BEx35_Patch1 and Windows7/Office2010_32bit.
Does anyone know if this problem is related to the new SAPGUI-version being used or is this a known error requriring some manual configuration.
Kind regards,

How to open a workbook in BEx 700

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to open a workbook in BEx, just knowing its ID and name?
Workbook is not saved in a role, psooibly in favourites of a user. In 3.5 using FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL
was a way to achieve this.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi again,
First of all thanks for answers.
Please let ne give a short explanetion of my issue:
i'm BW Admin, we are currently "moving" from 3.5 to 7.0. My problem is, that I'm missing al ot of ueseful tools, provided in 3.5.,
not longer available in 7.0, as you can see form my threads in the past. In all of the long years of working in IT, I never expeienced such a step back and a lack od conbienence intrducing a new release of any software.
However, one of my users is spending his holidays and a collegue just wants to run a workbook obviously saved
in his favourites. And I'm still searching for a possibilty for achieving this in a easy way, without changing settings in
user administration (copying favourites copying ,even etire user....).
Thanks and Regards
Joe

Refresh workbook when opening...

Hi Experts,
I am on NW2004S, BI 7.0.
I have created a workbook for one query. I want the workbook to be refreshed everytime, a user tries to run it.
Any advice ?
PS: I am aware of the solution in older versions..

According to SAP Help-->
<b>Refresh Workbook on Open</b>
<i>If selected, when you open a workbook from the server, the query is automatically refreshed with values from the server. If not selected, of if you are opening a workbook from your local file system, you must manually refresh the query after you open it to retrieve the latest results from the server.</i>
Go to the Design Toolbar, the last button, workbook settings will allow you to select this.
Thanks,
Jeff

Arrange workbooks in BEx Browser

Hi all,
We are facing a problem arranging the workbooks in BEx Browser. In some folders we have many workbooks and these are just sitting on top of another. I tried to arrange them manually or with the properties option, but even then we still have many workbooks and the Users are having a tough time looking at them. I do not see any scroll bars that will make the window grow according to the number of workbooks.
Do we have a option to set up the scroll bar in the Browser window so that the workbooks wont overlap or any other option to list the workbooks.
Thanks,
Prabhu.

Hi,
You can assign workbooks to roles and assign roles to users. After that a person can login to the Bex Browser and based on the roles that he/she has see only those workbooks.
using tcode PFCG you can create what you want: assign roles to specific users. after saving workbooks under role and a role's menu item a user depending on his/her roles will see only what was allowed.

Refreshing Workbooks loses variables

I have a workbook with many queries, but when I refresh the variable values are erased. What shouldbe done so as to refresh and have the previous variable values loaded?

Hi,
Check up with work book settings, check if the setting "Refresh the variable on work book refresh (Process Variables on Refresh)" is set, uncheck it, or " Opening a workbook for which the Refresh Workbook on Open indicator is not set" - in this case When you update the workbook, the system checks whether it contains mandatory variables for which no values are available. If no values are available, the variable dialog is displayed; if values are available, the workbook is displayed straight away.
You can, however, manually change the variable values by choosing Change Variable Values to call the variable dialog.
Try setting the personalised varible setting or the setting that "start variable with previous value".
Hope this will be expedite.
Thax & Regards

Error while Saving Workbook in BEx

Hi Experts,
When ever I am trying to same a workbook, I get the following error:
"workbook format .xlsm is not supported by the server"
Does anyone of you faced this error earlier ? Please suggest. I am working on SAP Netweaver 2007 and have MS Office 2007 installed in my system..
Best Regards,
Rishi

Hi,
Please let me know if you are opening the workbook in 3.5 Analyser. If
then unfortunately Business explorer Analyzer 3.x is not supporting the
new file-format. Please refer to note 1052761. If you would like to use
new office 2007 file format you need to use Bex Analyzer 7.0. Due to
the architecture of Analyzer 3.x this behaviour cannot be changed.
BW Support Package lower than SP16 it is not
possible to save files in Excel 2007 file formats on the server. But you
can still save files from Excel 2007. When using the SAP Default
Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format" as defined in note
1267924. If you create workbooks from scratch ensure that Excel creates
new files in XLS format (in the Excel options).
Afterwards you are able to save files with Excel 2007 in XLS file
format. The new Excel 2007 file formats require the implementation of
the latest BW Support Package.
If you are interested in saving workbooks in xlsm format you have to
use at least SP16 and a recent FEP (e.g. FEP801). But it is
not correct that it will work also when you implement the notes on a SP
level which is older then SP15, as then other corrections are missing.
And these points, I am afraid, cannot be downported to a Support package
less than SP15.
Therefore I have to ask you to import furhter SPs. Then I am pretty sure
that it will work.
Please check also note 1055581 ... where you find the info that
we recommend to use at least SPS15 (which is BW-SP17).
Thanks,
Venkat
So as mentioned above you can still save files from Excel 2007. When
using the SAP Default Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format"
as defined in note 1267924. For saving the workbook in the new file
format(xlsm) you need atleast SP16. The latest Sp being SP20, I suggest
you to look for an upgrade.

Workbook in BEx Analyzer doesn´t open

Dear all,
I´ve a problem, because I have a user on the bw and I work with the BEx Analyzer.
When I open a special workbook there comes a white screen and then nothing.
I deleted the user I´ve used and created the user new but still the same problem.
But when I create another user id the problem doesn´t exist.
What can it be?
Or are special user parameters set in the sap bw? because I have not set any parameter

the authorizations are ok.
I´ve made a authorization trace with ST01 and that´s not the problem.
A few weeks before the problem doesn´t exist. But after a few weeks I´ve opened the workbook and it doesn´t open.
Is it possible to delete the user but that all things of the user will be deleted like entrys in tables of the customizing where the user is in?

Event ID 18221 after clicking refresh workbook

Hello all,
We have a SharePoint 2013 farm with excel services, besides we have a server with two SQL 2012 Sp1 BI instances one for database (default instance) and one named instance (servername\powerpivot) for sharepoint mode analysis services. In sharepoint we created
a powerpivot gallery and load a workbook with powerview features. When we load the workbook, it creates its database in the remote analysis service correctly, but, when we click data->refresh connections we get the following error:
External Data Refresh Failed
An error occurred while working on the data model in the workbook. Please try again.
We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh:
<connection name>
At the same moment, in the database server we can find a couple of event:
Event ID: 3
Source: MSOLAP$POWERPIVOT
Description: OLE DB or ODBC error: A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured
to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.; 08001; Client unable to establish connection; 08001; Encryption not supported on the client.; 08001.
Event ID: 18221
Source: COMRuntime
Description: The attempt to connect to the RPCSS service was denied access for the COM Server application D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.POWERPIVOT\OLAP\bin\msmdsrv.exe to the user Unavailable\Unavailable SID (S-1-5-21-288754965-1796230222-1539857752-9046)
running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). The most likely cause is that the machine wide Access Limits do not grant the user or application local access permissions. The Access Limits can be modified using the Component Services administrative
tool.
The second event mentions a COM server app that we cannot find in comexp.msc and the event ID is not documented at all. Please help us out.
Thanks in advance

Hi Tucer_1,
This issue might be caused by the SharePoint Server pass the incorrect credential to the SSAS Server. In SSAS Server side, I would suggest you create a SQL Server Analysis Services trace and then capature some events to check the login information when
you refresh a worksheet from SharePoint Sever. Here is an article for your reference, please see:
Use SQL Server Profiler to Monitor Analysis Services:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174946.aspx
Please aslo check that you have enable remote access to ensure Windows firewall will not block the connection.
Configure the Windows Firewall to Allow Analysis Services Access:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174937.aspx
In addition, 최적화기 is right. Please restart Excel Services and reboot the Analysis Services server after configure "Act as part of the operating system" privilege on the local server.
For more detail information, please refer to the article below:
PowerPivot Data Refresh with SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012 SP1 (Analysis Services):
