Start OutlookSoft 4.2 with Excel 2003 when Excel 2007 is also installed.

Does anyone know how to get OutlookSoft 4.2 to use Excel 2003 as the default u2013 when both Excel 2003 and 2007 are installed? Iu2019ll take any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks, Joost and Sorin, for your responses! We will be considering both of them.
My name is Christine, and I work with Ellie (who originated the question).
Sorin, where do you insert the launch command described in your response?
Neither Ellie nor I are computer programmers. We have learned on the job as we go. So it's not obvious to us what to do with your command/path. I have changed the "Open With" property for Web Excel to use the exe file for Excel 2003, but the result is that Excel 2007 opens in compatibility mode, and not as Excel 2003.

Error in BEX7.0 with Excel 2007

Previously we had Excel 2003. It was working fine with BI7.0
When we installed Excel 2007, and trying to open a query.. it is giving folowing error
"Critical Program Error Occured. The Program has to close. Please refer to the trace for further information"
I thought its authorization issue, so I traced using ST01 for this. But there the return code is showing Sucess ( RT = 4). So can anyone let me know where is the errror.
Client wants to work with EXcel 2007 with BI7.0

BPC 7 performance issue with Microsoft 2003 vs Microsoft 2007

Hi All,
Needs some help with our performance issues with BPC 7 on Microsoft 2007. We have noticed a significant difference between the two versions. When running the same report on BPC 7 MS 2003 it takes roughly around 5-6 min. When running the same report in BPC 7 MS 2007 the report takes roughly 15-20 min. We've tried numerous things to figure out what can be causing this but does anyone have the same issue or shed some light as to what i can do to eliminate this problem?
Thanks,
Elmer

Hi,
Did you install the following component on your application server (which is a prerequisite for running Excel 2007)? This note is part of the installation guide:
In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must install the Microsoft Office 2007 system driver Data Connectivity Components, which you can get from the Microsoft web site. The components must be installed on the Application server. We recommend that you install all of the latest Microsoft Windows hotfixes prior to installing the Administration client. For information about which hotfixes to install, see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7554F536-8C28-4598-9B72-EF94E038C891&DisplayLang=en.
Hope this will help.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Hyperion Essbase QAT Menu with Excel 2007

I just upgraded to Hyperion Essbase 11.1.1.3 and I recently upgraded to Excel 2007. Moving to XL2007 made the Essbase add-in two levels deep in the ribbon so I wanted to move this to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). I found a great tool to develop QAT menus authored by [url http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm]Ron Debruin.
I took his code and customized it to work with the Hyperion commands. Picture of menu here: http://i.imgur.com/X7zFS.jpg
Everything worked great for a few month for both myself and about 75 coworkers but once we upgraded to Essbase 11.1.1.3 from 7, the menu macros stopped working for almost everyone except for myself and a few others.
I set this macro in the xlstart folders so that it opens with excel. The QAT menu still appears for everyone, but when selecting any of the menu items to run, nothing runs.
Example: When running
Sub MyMacro21()
 Call EssMenuVConnect
End Subfrom the custom QAT menu, nothing happens. What should occur is a popup login for Hyperion. I've even tried to run the code outside of the QAT menu and it does not work so this leads me to believe something is wrong with my Hyperion code. Now mind you, this work fine on my machine.
I'm unable to determine the cause for the macro to not work. Any help or troubleshooting pointers would be appreciated.
Here is the code that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Essbase 7 add-in with Excel 2007

Hi,
We are using Essbase Spreadsheet services 7.1.3 (EssbaseWebService) in Excel 2007 and we are facing an issue with the zoom-in function. The zoom-in retrieval time is a lot more time consuming than with Excel 2003.
Do someone ever faced the same issue ?

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.

Known issues for OBIEE Office Add in with Excel 2007?

Workbooks with Excel 2007 and 1 million lines

Hi all,
We are unable to use the 1 million lines available with Excel 2007 with the migrated workbooks. Also, it seems that Excel is saving the files in .xls format, even if the format default in Excel is not set for .xls.
Does anyone have a solution for this??

Error message when opening a shared workbook with Excel 2007

Hello,
We would like to share a workbook outside BW (by saving into a serveur).Since we use Excel 2007, we can't anymore open this workbook.
We have a message error (see bellow).
For your information, it was ok with Excel 2003.
When whe save the workbook in local disk and then copy from local disk
to a serveur, it's ok.
We use SAPGUI 7.10 support package 8, patch 1 Revision 1443 & BI 7.0.
Best regards
Nicolas Triqnuand

hey Nicolas,
first of all, your error message is in French... not too many people out there will be able to understand. Eventhough I do understand French, it doesn't make much sense to me... BUT... in Excel2007 all macro's are by default disabled. When you enable them (you should get a "Security Warning" right under "the Ribbon"), your BI stuff should work again.
Just gave it a try, and it runs smoothly over here.
Cheers,
RafB

Report created in SAP/ BEx 7.1 with Excel 2007 can't be opened by 2000/2003

Hi
We're currently in the process of migrating to Office 2007 from both 2000 & 2003 and we're finding in testing that staff who use BEx Analyser with SAP 7.1 to create queries and send embedded in reports to others can not be opened by recipients who are still on Excel 2000 or 2003. Staff who already using Excel 2007 can open the reports however not on earlier versions. We are ensuring the excel file is saved as the file type .xls so there's no reason we can see why it shouldn't open successfully.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Many thanks

Error when using BeX Analyzer 7.0 with Excel 2007

When i try to execute a query in BeX analyzer 7.0 and my microsoft excel version is 2007, there will always have a fatal error showing. However, when i use the Bex Analyzer 3.5 , i could execute the query.
Anyway to solve this problem?

You need to do the following
Identify the SAP GUI version you're using, 6.40 or 7.10, and the patch level.
Identify the BW or BI Add-on and patch level of it.
From there, check to see if the versions you have actually support BI 7.0 and Excel 2007. Reliable Excel 2007 support requires failry current patch levels of both the SAP GUI and the corresponding BW/BW Add-ons..
Do you have access to a PC that has a more recent version of the SAP GUI and BW/ BI Add-on? If so, try using that PC and see if you still have the problem.

BE Analyzer not working with Excel 2007 / Gui 710

Hi
I am working on a machine that has MS Office 2007 installed.
Here I am experiencing problems with BEx Analyzer.
The program starts up fine, I can connect to the BI server, see my excisting queries and workbooks when I press "Open" (created on a PC with Office 2003 installed) but as soon as I try to execute either of them I get an error:
"A Critical program error occured.
The program has to close.
Please refer to the trace for further information."
The same error occurs if I try to insert a query to a new workbook.
Background info:
SAP Gui 710, Patch 1
Support Pack Stack 12
According to the documentation I have found the combination of MS Excel 2007 and Gui 710 should be supported.
Johnny H.
PS I have added the SAP folders to my "trusted locations", and I have also marked the "Trust access to the VBA project object model" in the Excel options.

Hi,
I'm running SAP Gui 710 patch 3 and the BW add on 710 patch 1 on a Vista with Office 2007 and it runs well. I would suggest to download the latest patches on service.sap.com/swdc
