Unable to create a TFS Report in Excel (via SSAS)

Dear all,
I hope this is the correct forum to ask my question about TFS and SSAS. We have a TFS2012 environment in a domain. We have installed and configured the reporting and analysis services (SQL Server 2012). Now I am trying to create a report in Excel (2013)
based on a TFS query but I get an exception: 
TF208056: An error occurred while the command was accessing the Analysis Services database TFS_Analysis on the server <Servername>. 
I am, hoewever, able to connect to the analysis server with the credentials I enter in Excel. 
Hope anyone of you has an idea. Please inform me if I need to supply any more info.

Hi Ben,
According to your description, you are experiencing the issue "TF208056: An error occurred while the command was accessing the Analysis Services database TFS_Analysis on the server <Servername>." when trying to create a report in Excel (2013)
based on a TFS query, right?
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the port for the SQL Browser service was blocked on the  local machine. You can open windows firewall for AS to check if this issue is persists or not.
Open the windows firewall for AS
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server Analysis Services inbound on TCP 2383" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=2383 profile=domain
Open the windows firewall for browser (optional)
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server Browser Services inbound on TCP 2382" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=2382 profile=domain

  • Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

    Hi All,
    We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue.
    Thanks,
    Raja

    Hi Raja,
    I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
    If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"

    Hi Nanda Kishore,
    Webi reports does not show in your local system,because webi reports acces from repository through URL,if you export your Bex Query(Universe) to repository,it is possible to see.but you local system is usefull for stand alone applications.
    you can see only web intelligece rich client and Desk intelligence.

  • Creating a crystal report using excel

    I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to access to create a crystal reports.  But it seems that I have to first save it as an access or other database file.  But this information changes frequently so I it would be more efficient to access the excel file directly.  I tried using the crystal wizard addin in excel, but then when I run the report I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened".  Any other ideas on how to create report of excel data directly?

    Hello Guys ,
    I have something similar problem ,but not exactly.
    our requirement is We are scheduling one crystal report to generate excel and sent to FTP location.This Excel file (in FTP) should be the input of new Crystal Report using ODBC (RDO) connection.
    I am able to create the ODBC connection,but that ODBC connection is not showing me the selected excel sheet in the Crystal Report ODBC Connection.I tried with Remote as well as local drive Excel also.
    I tried on different machine (thought ,it could be Driver specific),but all machines does have same issue.
    Is there any settings or driver upgrades require for CR XI R2 /2008 in order to use ODBC (RDO) for EXCEL FILES.I didnt find any comments /resolution in Google too.
    My steps -
    1) Create a sample Excel file - only few records
    2) Created a System ODBC connection pointing this excel file say "TEST1"
    3) Opened A Blank Crystal Report
    4) Create a New connection
    5) Select ODBC RDO
    6) Create new connection and selected the newly created SYSTEM DSN "TEST1"
    7) check the selected excel is displayed in ODBC RDO connection??
    If it is a Crystal Report issue or ODBC Driver issue ,please let me know if anyone have came across similar issues.
    thanks in advance.

  • Unable to create Database in Reporting Service Configuration

    Hi,
    We have SQL Server 2012 in our environment. I want to enable monitor report in Lync 2013. i have separate Lync sql instance.
    I am trying to configure new database in Reporting Service Configuration manager in report Server database Configuration wizard.
    while testing connection getting below error.
    could not connect to server:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to
    allow remote connections.(provider:Named Pipes provider,error:40-could not open a connection to SQL Server)
    kindly help to resolve issue.

    Hi Rakesh,
    Please check the below details information:
     Check the ReportServer db is present in the Database engine.
    Go and check the report server configurations (go here:Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft sql server 2012-> Configuration Tools -> Report Service Configuration Manager
    check all the connections if still not working. then create a new reporting services Database. While creating it make sure you select native mode, if you want to create a share point services then select share point integration mode.
    If the above didn't work, Please check which port is used for SQL Server database engine from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
    If we are using dynamic port, please make sure:
    SQL Server Browser service is running.
    UDP 1434 port is enabled in the firewall.
    If we are using static port, please make sure the port is enabled in the firewall.

  • Unable to create master detail report

    Hi,
    I´ve two tables (Organisation and Purchases) and want to create a master-deatil with the wizard.
    At the end an error occurs:
    ORA-20001: Unable to create master detail page. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
    Unable to create Master Detail pages.
    Return to application.
    Any ideas ? Any reaction will be appreciated
    Leo

    Leo,
    How are your two tables related? Do you have a foreign key constraint? It sounds like that there may be a datatype mismatch between the master table's PK and the detail table's FK - check to make sure that they are both NUMBER.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to Create a QBE report based on View

    I have a view which is based on 4 tables.
    The view by itself works fine.When I create a QBE report based on that view it gives the
    ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table (WWV-11230).
    I am not able to understand what I'm doing wrong.Please help!
    Thanks,
    Hyma.
    null

    Its simple if its a view on one table, but you have a view based on 4 tables. That is what makes it complicated and the need for special set up and a little research. I don't remember what all goes into it, but I do recall that its not just as simple as creating the view.

  • Oracle Reports to Excel via Conc Mgr

    Hi-
    I'm trying to get Oracle Report to Excel output via the Conc Mgr. I've tried various options including Desformat=DelimitedData, Destype=localfile, Desformat=Delimited. I'm unable to get it to Open in Excel in any legible format.
    The best results I've gotten is using Desformat=Delimited w/in the rdf, View Requests - Choose Excel for Output, Choose Save to desktop, open w/ Excel and change text to data. My problem is that the delimiter is set to comma, but my data has commas in it. I tried creating a user parameter DELIMITER default Value = |; I tried setting up options in Conc Prog Reg screen DESFORMAT=DELIMITED DELIMITER='|', as well as setting System Parameter DESFORMAT= DELIMITED DELIMITER='|' w/in reports. It sets the delimiter as desired if I run it from my desktop and generate to a local file, but as soon as I move it and run it thru conc mgr it switches the delimiter back to comma.
    Thx-Tara

    Hi,
    You could use SYLK or BI Publisher. Check out my blog posts here:
    SYLK:
    http://garethroberts.blogspot.com/2007/10/excel-file-output-from-oracle.html
    XML / BI Publisher:
    http://garethroberts.blogspot.com/2007/09/standard-report-to-csv-file-via-bi.html
    Note that neither of these outputs are "native" binary Excel - SYLK is its own format and BI Publisher is XHTML.

  • Error while designing Deski reports using excel 2010(xslx) as data source

    Hi All
    We are using BOXI R3.3 on Windows 2003 Server.
    When we are trying to create DESKTOP INTELLIGENCE REPORTS using EXCEL 2010(xlsx) format prompting with below error.
    "Cannot update.Database or object is read only(3207) "
    Could you please clarify whether BOXI supports MS EXCEL 2010 version(xslx) version or not?
    If not what is the work around for this?
    Regards
    bose

    Here is what Supported Platforms Guide says : Microsoft Office 2010 (starting with FP 3.4)**
    As you are on FP3.3, Office 2010 is not supported in your implementation.
    You need to either upgrade, or use pre-Office 2010 formats.

  • Number stored as text (in jsp report with excel output)

    Hi
    I created a jsp report for excel output. I see that the numbers are left aligned with a green traingle on the top of each cell. Was just wondering how can I resolve this and have my numbers displayed as numbers - right aligned and with no green triangle. Is there some setting I have to make explicitly so that numbers appear as numbers in excel output?
    Thx!

    Hi Sasidar,
    In Excel right click the column select format cells and then select  the format as text which is general by default.
