When will Excel Support Tabular Model Table and Column Descriptions via Tool Tip or other display mechanism

I have noticed that SSMS supports tool tips for the Tabular Model (tables and columns) however Excel 2013 doesn't appear to. This is a very important feature to our end users.
Does anyone know when this will be supported?
Thanks
M Meyer

Hi Meyer,
According to your description, you want to use the tooltip function in Microsoft Excel for the SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model, right?
I have tested it on my local environment (Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP1 and Excel 2013), the result is that the feature is not supported currently. It's hard to say the detail date when this will be supported. If this feature is enabled, Microsoft will announce
it on the document.
Besides, if you have any concern about this behavior, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that
they can be, Microsoft might consider to add this feature in the following release after official confirmation.

Tabular model. Define column description to be visible in Excel

Hello,
I edit a Tabular Model in SQL Server Data Tools.
Then I connect to it through Excel, where I see the names of the tables, column and measures.
I would like to see descriptive names of the entities in Excel. There is "Description" field in a model, but Excel still displays the real names of the columns.
I can only do that by setting description in the field parameters in Excel for each pivot table(there are many)
Can I implement such functionality using SQL Server Data Tools fro VS2013 and Excel ?

Hi Ruslan,
According to your description, you created a SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model project, now you need to define column description to be visible in Excel, right?
In SSAS tabular, there is a measure property Description
that description of the measure. The description will not appear with the measure in a reporting client. Please refer to the link below to see the details.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230824.aspx
For the tabular model table, the table description property is a text description for the table. In PowerPivot for Excel, if an end-user places the cursor over this table in the field list, the description appears as a tooltip.

When will Aperture support Fujifilm Xpro1 raw files??

Does anybody knows when will Aperture support Fujifilm Xpro1 raw files?? It have been pendning for a while already, really hope there will be an update soon. Thanks.

I firmly disencourage people to purchase Aperture these days.
To everyone asking me for advise as a Pro photographer.
Apple attitude on this issue is of abandonement and ignorance of users needs.
Unfortunately, the feeling is that this is going to be the permanent standard.
They are not providing translations, not providing support to models such as X-Pro1 that has received inmediate reaction from major developers, neither do care for users that openly claim for RAW support for an extended model as X-10.
This is somehow another sign of apple arrogance in term of market predominant coompany.
If Apple do not begin to lose sales and an importan market share this is going to be worse and worse.
Best way: Ignore Aperture.
Adobe is nowadays the ONLY option for photographers.
I don't like Lightroom so I must select my shots with Photo Mechanic, or Xnview and then go to photoshop.
Sick of Apple.

When will iSync Support SE P990?

I just wonder when will iSync support P990i as I have been using iSync and .Mac for ages. I don't want to change my life style so I just wondering when will iSync support P990i??

I share the dissappointment of other SE P990i owners who have discovered that their new smartphone does not work at all with iSync, unlike the previous P800/P900/P910 models. Yes, I do know that the underlying Symbian OS has changed, which explains the difficulty. But one would hope that, after the new phone has been available from around September 2006, Apple would by now have updated iSync to deal with this important new top-of-the-line Sony Ericsson business phone.
My only "solution" was to synchronize the SE P990i with my IBM ThinkPad under Windows XP and Outlook 2003. Worked like a charm... Too bad for my PowerBook...
I am in the market for a new computer in a couple of months. If this issue is not solved, I fear it may be time to continue sticking with the other side...

When will lightroom support d750 raw files?

when will lightroom support d750 raw files?

No one who knows can say and no one who says knows. I’d GUESS it’ll be before the end of November, around the time Canon releases the 7D Mark II which has already been announced by has a ship date sometime in November according to B&H.
While you’re waiting, you can download the DNG Converter 8.7 RC from Adobe Labs, and convert your NEFs to DNGs and import those DNGs into LR. The DNGC is in the CS6 branch of the ACR 8.7 download, here:

When will LightRoom support the Panasonic DMC-GH4 camera?

When will LightRoom support the Panasonic DMC-GH4 camera?

Adobe rarely comments publically about future support; however, a new camera is usually supported in the next version of Adobe software. LR comes out every 3 or 4 months and LR 5.4 was released April 7, with a beta a few weeks before then, I’d guess it won’t be too much longer, unless there is some special problem with GH4 support.
The betas are available on http://labs.adobe.com/ so that is the first place to periodically check.
With LR 5.4 there wasn’t a public beta (release candidate) due to the newly added Lightroom Mobile feature that Adobe wanted to keep secret until it was actually for sale.

When will Apple Support Ultraviolet Digital Copies?

This is something of a cross post for iPad & iPhone, but I won't be cross posting it as they can be a bit annoying.
I'm a huge fan of digital copies, wasn't once, but now am. Having digital copies is something that does factor into me deciding when to buy a film on Blu-Ray and when to wait.
The new thing that is being pushed now is Ultraviolet, a quasi-cloud type service, for digital copies. However it can only be used by a select few devices; Mac (and even Windows) don't support it. Personally I prefer the standard digital copy, I maintain my library, back it up when I make new purchases and save my recipets in case anything happens. And of course a big reason I prefer it is because I won't be hopping between two services for them.
My question is when will Apple support Ultraviolet Digital Copies? Or will there be an alternative where the Blu-Ray will include a code for a traditional digital copy that if used will void the UV copy and vice-versa?
I would personally prefer an alternative as I'd hate managing two accounts to handle my digital copies.

WHEN will you support raw files for Canon 70D in PE? This camera has been out for months!

WHEN will you support raw files for Canon 70D in PE? This camera has been out for months!

Hi,
PSE 12 with updates or PSE 13 should support the Canon 70D.
Which version do you have and which operating system are you running on?
If you have an older version of PSE, you could use the DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - then you can use the DNG files in PSE.

Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
Thanks!

Hi Seymour
You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
(SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
AS
SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
Best wishes
Michael

When will Lightroom support Sigma DP1/2/3m ?

When will Lightroom support Sigma DP1/2/3m ?

Contrary to popular belief, Adobe needs to buy a production camera just like everyone else. The camera makers are so afraid of competition that they - none of them - give away anything, to anyone, and certainly not in advance. Most of them are also so afraid of competition that they still refuse to support DNG, a universal and openly documented raw file format that could have been the industry standard today if it wasn't for this paranoia. Then you would have had instant Lightroom support for the camera fresh off the shelf.
So the answer is: it happens when the Lr team has had time to reverse-engineer and profile it. Probably next Lr release, but no one knows.
(I'm saving this reply for whenever the question "when will camera xyz be supported" comes up, which is about twice a day).

When will iPhone support PPPoE internet connections?

When will iPhone support PPPoE internet connections? Numerous Internet providers still use PPPoE internet over DHCP data. However, iphone does not support PPPoE.

PPPoE is irrelevant to the iPhone; it is a protocol between the ISP and the first point of presence on premises, which today is almost always a wired or wireless router. PPPoE would only be meaningful if there was a way to connect the phone directly to the incoming Internet connection. As there is no way to do this physically it would be pointless.
