Using an existing connection in the Excel 2013 file in Power Query

Hi,
I've created an Excel workbook and a SQL Server data connection in this workbook.
When I open Power Query I cannot to use this created data connection.
In general, inside Power Query can I use a data connection created in the original Excel workbook?
Many thanks

I have an old PowerPC and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same router, but the old Mac connects with full bars, but the MBP struggles with only 2. Pls help, thanks!

Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

My iPod used to always connect to the WiFi at home but now it doesn't. What can I do?

My iPod used to always connect to the internet at home but now it does not. What can I do?

Try the following:
Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.
On your iPod Touch use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
If this does not work test your iPod on some other networks, e.g., Starbucks, etc. If it doesn't work there it may have developed a hardware problem.

Does the 'Hotmail' option in IOS mail use SSL to connect to the hotmail servers?

Just wondering, when selecting the 'Hotmail' option when setting up email on IOS mail, whether this automatically uses SSL to connect to the hotmail servers - it doesn't show any server settings when you view the account.

Hi Drewscussions,
Thanks for the reply - I'm just wondering about the security measures in place behind those predefined settings I.e. does it use an encrypted SSL link. I would like to ensure, as I often access emails off public wifi, that I have it set correctly to use an encrypted connection to my hotmail account.
My emails have been working fine - it's more of a question about what security measures are in place in that preset mail option.
Cheers

Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option. Some models have this. You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

My AirPortExBS n-type will create a network, but not use it to connect to the Internet

I just got a new AirPortExtreme, n-type, and I can create a successful network but cannot use it to connect to the internet. I can do both with my old APEx, g-type. I can connect to the internet directly via Ethernet.
I've been in chat all **** day with Comcast, who insist it's Apple's fault, despite all the evidence to the contrary. They just want an excuse to charge me a setup fee. Jerks.
Salient points:
g-type wireless network (while it's useful to tell the two apart, I'll miss the whimsical UFO-shaped device) works.
n-type device will create a network my MacBook can detect, but it can't access the internet. I got my APExpress in the mail (two days later, even though they were ordered at the same time) today and I haven't tried bridging that in yet, too many headaches already, but I can print wirelessly over the new network when my printer is attached to the square APEBS.
I have power-cycled the **** things almost a dozen times at the behest of my Mac's setup guide and Comcast's chat people.
My best guess is that my modem, because I did not buy Comcast's (jerks) "Wireless Self-Install Kit" is somehow not compatible with the faster AirPort... though why it wouldn't broadcast at the 2.4Ghz band, at least, I don't know.
I will be thoroughly grateful if you guys could help me out here. I've never had a problem with any of my Apple products before, so this is a little disturbing.
Thanks, Jenna

Any help appreciated

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Programatically pick PowerView properties from Microsoft Excel 2013 file

Hi,
I have a requirement to programmatically read/handle PowerView properties like title, theme, background, font-size etc. from a Microsoft Excel 2013 file. Also I need to access the properties of the objects which are added on to the PowerView,
for e.g. properties of a table or a image added to the PowerView.
I have been looking for it since long, but no luck. Is there a way by which I can achieve it? Any pointers regarding this would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Simon_Hou for the response.
As per your answer, PowerView is an add-on and hence it is packaged and properties can't be picked.
But, PowerPivot is also a com add-in still there exists a programming handle for it. We are able to pick several properties for PowerPivot using Interop.
For PowerView, I am able to see certain bin files getting created but am unable to pick any information from those.
(Bin files namely CustomProperties1.bin, CustomProperties2.bin, CustomProperties3.bin, CustomProperties4.bin, CustomProperties5.bin)
Is there any way by which we can pick certain properties for Power View as well using these files or maybe some other way?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Sharepoint 2013 support for power query

Hi,
I wanted to know whether SharePoint 2013 supports power query and can we refresh power query data from excel services.
Thanks,
Bhawna.

Hi Bhawna.,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know whether SharePoint 2013 support Power Query and refresh power query data from excel services.
The refresh of workbooks involving Power Query queries isn't currently available in SharePoint 2013.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

Replace the connection string in Excel MDS file

I had MDS solution from one SQL Server 2012 to another - SQL Server 2014. I have configured Excel file with connection to MDS. How can I safely to replace the connection string in my Excel MDS file and the tables is not broken?

Hi,
Excel is just used to manage data and create new entities and attributes. Why not first publish and close your excel before MDS upgraded to 2014? After the upgrade, reconnect new solution in your excel.

VB: use an existing connection

Hello, experts
We use Bex for reporting. It is necessary to call RFC ABAP function. Unfortunately function has to be called several times, therefore I am looking for possibility to catch an existing connection and assign it to my object instead of creating new one every time.
The idea is following:
Set oFunctions = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
Set oFunctions.Connection = Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!sapBEXgetConnection")
The problem is with connection assginment. System shows run-time error 61704 "Internal application err"
Ofcourse I could close connection and ask to logon each time user press the button.
Any ideas
Valters
P.S authorization solution founded on web didn't help
ACTVT = 16
RFC_NAME = RFCH
RFC_TYPE = FUGR

Hi Valters,
I am facing the same problem. Have you got a solution for this problem?
