SmartView issue with Excel protected sheets

Hi,
I'm facing an issue working with SmartView and Excel protected sheet.
When a try to refresh data SmartView get error "One or more sheet(s) in the workbook are protected. Unprotect the sheets and try the operation again".
Sheet layout is composed as:
- account in row
- period, scenario and version in column
- other dimension in point of view.
The goal of sheet protection is restrict on Excel side the set of cell available for user input and avoid the user add more account in row.
Is there a workaround to use SmartView work with protected sheet or the only way is unprotect it?
Any suggestion is really appreciated.
The system configuration is:
WindowsXP SP3
Excel 2007
SmartView 11.1.2.1.00
Regards

No, sorry Smart View has no access to write to the cell of a protected sheet. If you are skilled in VBA you could write a routine that unprotects your sheet does the SV operation and then re-protects. This may require you to hard code your protection password in code so I am not sure if this will work for you. Excel sheet protection lock the user and programs from updates so there is not much that can be done.

A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

hi gurus,
Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
FullName = objArgs(I)
FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
objExcel.application.visible=false
objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
objExcel.Application.Quit
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
set objExcelBook = Nothing
Next
Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
Hope this helps.

E61: Compatibility issue with Excel sheets

Hello,
I am having difficulties transferring an Excel file from my E61 to my laptop running Office 2007: I had originally written
the file in Office 2003 and I have now added two more sheets to the file and renamed the original sheet on my E61. When I tried transferring the file via the
data cable, I got a message saying unreadable contents were found in the file and asking me if I trusted the source. When I clicked OK, the file
was repaired, then I got a second message saying there might possibly be some data loss. Indeed, all the data was gone from
the Workbook. All the sheets I had added were there along with the one sheet that was there originally, but they were all blank. The **bleep** thing about this is that I had already transferred the file back and forth a few times without error.
I then tried with another Excel file that I had originally written on a PC running Office 2007 and it was nearly the same. In that file, all the data seemed
to be there, but the formatting was gone. In yet another file that I had written on the mobile, it was even worse - the numeric values that I had entered in
some cells seemed to be there, but incorrectly formatted while text cells were altogether gone.
Can anybody tell me what I did wrong there?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Hendikoischnur
P.S.: The same thing happened when I didn´t transfer the file to the laptop at all, but left the phone connected via cable
and tried to open the file from the memory card in Data transfer mode. Opening the file on the mobile itself, however, was no problem.
P.P.S.: This is really rather important - one of the files in question is a collection of all my personal passwords. Out of security
considerations, I´m thinking of having that file only on my mobile, copy it to the PC at need
and shred that copy afterwards, so it would be quite fatal if
I wasn´t able to transfer the file back to my Desktop or even open it in Data transfer mode.

Hi,
does nobody have an idea about this? I have already contacted the Nokia Support, but the guy there asked me a lot of questions apt for complete computer-newbies without bringing me any nearer to a solution. I already thought that maybe my memory card is damaged - but then, the phone shouldn´t display the contents flawlessly.
Next I will try if maybe the problem is only with Office 2007 and I can open the files with Office XP or maybe with CALC, although that would be somewhat weird...

Use sumif() with Excel 2010 sheets stored on SharePoint 2010

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing an issue with two Excel sheets stored on SharePoint 2010 in a simple document library within a team site. One of the files contains the source data (data.xlsx) and the second file contains the formulas calculating different things (summary.xlsx),
based on what is stored in data.xlsx. This basically works fine and we are able to do things like
=SUM('http://sharepoint.demo.tld/Shared Documents/[data.xlsx]Sheet1'!$X$122:$X$123)
and also complex things. That formula for example works fine even with only the summary.xlsx file opened. Means the reference to the data.xlsx file is working properly and I get the correct results. But as soon as the formula becomes more complex like
=SUMIF('http://sharepoint.demo.tld/Shared Documents/[data.xlsx]Sheet1'!$L:$L;A2;'http://sharepoint.demo.tld/Shared Documents/[data.xlsx]Sheet1'!$X:$X)
the formula only works fine when the source sheet (data.xlsx) is opened, too. I was expecting the summary.xlsx to store the last value in it and only recalculate the formulars when I force it to recalculate the formular. But as soon as I open summary.xlsx
without data.xlsx being opened it displays #Value! - with and without recalculating the formulas. Seems as soon as the reference file is not opened this kind of formula gets broken. But I don't get it because SUM() does work fine even without the source file
opened.
Additionally, it becomes more strange. As soon as I open up the data.xlsx and enable editing the fields containing #Value! in summary.xlsx immediately represent the correct values.
Does anyone know why this happens and whether there is a way to solve this? We will require this kind of formula for that kind of sheets.
Thank you very much and kind regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
It is by design that the SUMIF function can only work when the source sheet is opened and the SUM function can work
without the opening the source sheet in Excel files.
This issue will occur on all excel files no matter if they are stored in SharePoint or not, and it is not an issue in SharePoint.
So if you want to make the SUMIF function to work, you need to keep the source sheet open.
Here is a similar issue for your reference:

Issue with Excel Attachement in BI 7.0

Hi,
I have developed a custom report to send an e-mail with excel attachment in BI 7.0. When we are trying to open the excel sheet attachment in the e-mail. I am getting a message warning message stating that<b> 'This file is not in a recognizable format'</b>. but if we click on ok button then everything looks fine i.e the data is displaying as expected.
I have developed the same reports in SAP R/3 and SRM but I don't see any issues over there.
Can any one help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat Bomma

When the selection screen pops up choose the KEY only function on the TOOLS on the top right corner of the screen. Then you will be able to enter the values manually.
Hope this helps.

Issue with Excel data-chains via SharePoint

I'm having issues with a coulpe of Excel (2010) data-chains through SharePoint at my work. When i set up a chain it shows for instance [Sheet2.xlsx] and fetches data just fine. But when I close and re-open the sheets, the chain code is changed to the
entire http-adress, such as "http://company.com/controlling/[Sheet2.xlsx], and gives a VALUE-error instead of fetching the data.
Is my problem connected to Excel or Sharepoint? And what can i do to make the chains work?
Thanks in advance, and please excuse if some of the mentioned terms are inaccurate. I use Excel in my native language (danish), but the Danish community in here is not very large :)

Hi,
Are you using some formula(Such as Vlookup) to link the Excel date which shored in the SharePoint?
If it is, we may try to use the full URL in the formula. Here are some samples, we may refer to:

PDFMaker issue with Excel

I'm experiencing an issue with PDFMaker when converting an Excel 2003 document. I have an image that is in the header of the Excel document. When I print in Excel it looks fine, but when I covert it to PDF it is much smaller. This seems to only happen when the Excel document is in "print to fit" mode. Does anyone have a fix?

Hi,
Typically, "print to fit" scales content.
Scaling an image at a value less than 100% will increase the image's effective resolution while reducing its size (x-y dimensions).
If the image must be of the original dimensions then avoiding "print to fit" may be called for.
Something worth a look over when output to PDF is from content having images.
Go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the Category "Convert to PDF".
Scroll through the supported file formats.
See it what you are using is listed. Select it. Often, there is a Edit button that can be used to configure the conversion to PDF.
Such things as downsampling and compression for black/white - gray scale - color.
Be well...

Issue with excel email attachment after upgrade

Hi ,
We have recently upgraded from ECC 5.0 non-unicode to ECC 6.0 unicode version.
An existing program converts the data in an internal table into HTML code and then sends this as an email attachment(XLS format) using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
Now if the mail attachment is sent from the non-unicode system , excel converts the HTML code and shows the data perfectly but when i open the mail attachment from the unicode system, the HTML code sits in a cell of the excel and therefore data is not visible.If i wish to see the data, i will have to cut the data from the cell and paste it .
I anticipate that this is because of some issue with the unicode.
Your inputs towards the issue resolution are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Avanish Joshi

I found the note 1151258 and as mentioned in it, i used the BCS class for sending excel attachments and it worked.
My sincere apologies for not replying to those who posted queries to this question.
Thanks.

WIN10 issues with HP Protect Tools Security Manager

WIN10 won`t install on PC´s with HP Protect Tools Security Manager (WIN7), as it is incompatible with WIN10 install. program reuires that HP Protect Tools will be uninstalled before proceeding with installation of WIN10. However, this seems to be quite impossible. Just disabling the program with the stemps described earlier does not work. Has anyone info how to UNINSTALL completely the HP Protect Tools Security Manager? I guess HP will notice this issue soon because there are many HP PC owners with WIN7 (probably even WIN8) that are unable to install WIN10, and make steps to create a new with WIN10 compatible version of the Tools Sec. manager, but it will probably take some time.

Try update your system with HP SoftPaq Download Manager and reinstall Win10.The problem was my old version of HPPTSM. With 8.3.3.... works.My HP 6470b, Win7 64.

Issues with Excel for Mac

Howdy.
I am currently running excel on 10.5. The version i am using is 12.0(071130) .
Its an intermittant issues whereby Excel will rnadomly crash when asked to copy and paste. My first instinct is to update but when i tried to download the installers for the 12.1 and the 12.9 updates , they won't install on my hard drive. I get an exclamation mark on my hard drive when going through the installer.
I think the copy and paste issue can be sorted by the update, but how do i do the update needed.
I tried running the microsoft updater through excel but it just hangs and hangs.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with the exclamation mark. I solved it by re-installing Office from the original disks and re-starting the computer. It seems that one of the main files must have been missing in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder. I now have 8 items in there after the update to 12.1.9.

Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Essbase client and also tried with essbase add in version 9.3.1.3, but nothing worked.
Please let us know your thoughts on the below issue.

I, too, would recommend rebuilding the workbook.. Excel workbooks can get some funny behaviors, particularly if they contain VBA code. VBA in Excel stays 'semi-compiled' and never really clears itself out and a bunch of phantom references remain (and are completely hidden). I have seen some very strange behavior cleaned up by rebuilding the workbook..
My old friend, Excel MVP Rob Bovey, has a utility specifically built to rebuild workbooks at http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/Utilities.htm.

Error message using SQL import and Export Wizard with Excel spread sheet

I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet using the Import export wizard that is provided with SQL 2014.
Everything seems to set up OK but then when I go to do the transfer "error message" comes up saying:
External Table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft Jet Database Engine).
This is a spreadsheet and there is no database, that is why I want to import it into a database!! So the reference to JET is a tad disappointing.
So why the error and how do I fix the problem?
As there are over 100 variables in the spread sheet rows, it would be great to have this automatically create the database and populate the fields.
I am using SQL 2014 Express and Office Excel 2013.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and hopefully sheading some light on the issue.

Hi AWlcurrent,
When import a .xlsx file to SQL Server using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, you see a “External Table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft Jet Database Engine).” error message. This error message seems that the Microsoft JET Database Engine is
unable to handle something that is contained in the file.
So please make sure there is no unsupported content in the Excel file. Alternatively, we can use ‘Microsoft Excel’ as the Data Source, then Select ‘Microsoft Excel 2007’ as the Excel version to import the excel file.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.
