Workbooks at OS level

Hi Experts,
Is it possible locate the workbooks saved by users at OS level filesystem?
The reason we need to find this because we had a workbook container role where users had created own folders and saved workbooks. But recently role got changed in development and transported to Production. Now users are not able to find their saved workbooks.
So any input is appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi

Did you try searching the workbook using Bex analyzer (search option)?
You can check in RSRWORKBOOK table whether there is an entry for your workbook to confirm its existence.

You may be able to use the document integration function (for master data). Each master data value for a particular info object can have a graphic file associated with it.
Please see the online docs (http://help.sap.com/bi), and search on document integration. There should also be a "How To" document within the SDN related to mass upload of documents.
Hope this helps.

I think you are giving and if condition in macro for sheet ID. Like "If queryID = "SAPBEXq0001" Then". Either you can specify all the sheet/query IDs or remove it and then check.

How to performing calculations at workbook level using using VB / macros et

HI All,
I want to know about how to perform calculations at the work book level using VB/Macros..
Request provide me links related to this .
Manyt hanks in advance.

Hi,
Open the Excel workbook and press ALT + F11. VB editor opens and you can write your piece of code and name it as Auto_open if you need that macro to automatically run when you open excel.
Second option is record macro, which will record the calculation and then call this macro everytime you need.
Thanks,

Disabling drill down on workbook level

Is there a way to disable drill up/down on a workbook level?
Currently the drill action uses the hierarchies defined in the admin edition, which apply to all workbooks.
In certain workbooks, particular the ones I use analytic functions like LAG, allowing drilldowns may result in incorrect results. How can I disable such drilling.
Thanks!

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by [email protected]:
Ernest,
This is easy to correct. All you need to do is create a calculation of the variable that has the drill on it... then drop the field from the workbook and use the cal. in its place.

Unable to see data in the report or workbook

Hello All,
We are struggling to display data in the report level or workbook, however the data is available in Multiprovider.
Error Message: "No Applicable Data Found"
Steps Carried Out:
1. Dropped the BIA Indexes for relevant cubes and Reactivated the Multiprovider, still did not work.
2. When we checked for previous years like 2013, we are able to see data in the report. To elaborate an issue, we loaded budget data for year 2015 as requested by user. Restricted the same filters from the Query in the Multiprovider and able to see the data in the backend, however not data can be seen in the Report.
3. Three Hierarchies are restricted in the Filters of the Query.
It would be great, if any of you can help us to fix the issue.
Best Regards,
Sudhakar

Hi,
Have you used any exists?
in exists is there any system date kind?
Can you try to run your report thru RSRT and use debug option there.
before reporting please check your all connected targets have data for reporting.
mean at targets-->request tab, reporting symbol was there or not.
Any master data objects included in multi provider?
if yes then please check those, if any ACR was running then it may cause you.
if possible try to develop simple query with as per needs(mean to see 2015 data only).
As my guess selections/filters migth be hidden, please check those.
Thanks

Refresh Data feed error in Excel Workbook

Hi
I am getting the error
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used The payload kind 'BinaryValue' of the given data
feed is not supported.. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID ...
The excel workbook was earlier configured using the data feed which was not stored in a data feed library. I then created the data feed library, placed the data feed in it and edited the connection
to the new path.
I am getting the above error now. Please help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you configured the workbook to use the data feed in a data feed library.
Did this issue occur with all the Excel workbooks which use the data feeds in the data feed library?
I recommend to create a new workbook to use the data feeds in the data feed library following the steps in the link below to see if the issue still occurs:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413490.aspx#importdata
Please also check if the data feed is created correctly referring to the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210624.aspx
If still no help, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in our SQL server forum.

Excel Services 2010 Error - "The workbook cannot be opened."

I enabled Excel Services and added a Excel Web Access viewer to my page. It's just a simple spreadsheet (which incidentally works fine on my standalone development server) that displays the error "The workbook cannot be opened." when the page loads. The trusted
file locations are set up appropriately. We are using Kerberos authentication.
My event viewer showed this "Critical" event (ID: 3760):
SQL Database 'Prod_WSS_Content' on SQL Server instance 'servername' not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Cannot open database "Prod_WSS_Content" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'domain\user'.
In other words, the service account that ECS was running under did not have permission to the content database. So I granted the user read permission on the database. Then I got the same error and this "Error" level event in the event viewer (ID: 5617):
There is a compatibility range mismatch between the Web server and database "Prod_WSS_Content", and connections to the data have been blocked to due to this incompatibility. This can happen when a content database has not been upgraded to be within the compatibility
range of the Web server, or if the database has been upgraded to a higher level than the web server. The Web server and the database must be upgraded to the same version and build level to return to compatibility range.
This error is typically associated with 2007 to 2010 upgrades apparently, but I did a fresh 2010 installation on a pristine machine. I found a very helpful post on the subject on the MSDN blogs:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jjameson/archive/2010/05/04/the-workbook-cannot-be-opened-error-with-sharepoint-server-2010-and-tfs-2010.aspx
I gave the ECS service account db_owner permission on the content database. I'm still getting the error "The workbook cannot be opened." I ran the PowerShell commands listed at the bottom of the post, and no change.
What's interesting now, is that nothing at all is showing up in the event
viewer. I wonder if it is because of the statement in the event log that says "connections to the data have been blocked due to this incompatibility." Is there something on the SharePoint server blocking the connection to SQL Server that needs to be reset?
Rob Wilson - MCT. MCTS, MCITP SharePoint. http://sharepointblog.kellerschroeder.com http://www.therobman.com/blog

Hi Rob Wilson,
I suggest you to check the following things at first:
1.
What’s the version of the excel file? Excel 2003, Excel 2007 or Excel 2010? Excel Service doesn’t support Excel 2003 and easier version;
2.
Are there some features the Excel Service do not support?
More information about the Supported and Unsupported Features

3.
If the excel is connected to SQL, did you save the connect file to the Data Connection Library?

Error 401 while trying to connect SSRS via BIDS Report Designer to PowerPivot workbook hosted in SharePoint 2013

I am having trouble connecting from BIDS 2012 to a PowerPivot workbook hosted in SharePoint 2013. I'm following this guide:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413489.aspx but run into authentication problems (Error 401, access denied).
I saw this issue comming up a number of times on this forum, but non of the proposed solutions really solve my issue. Also a lot of the solutions apply to SP2010. I verified the following items and they seem to be ok:
All servers / clients are member of the same ad domain.
The Excel PowerPivot file opens in SharePoint Excel Online and sliders and filters work (so connection SSAS / SharePoint is ok)
I enabled Kerberos, and fiddler/ Kerberos auth tester (http://blog.michelbarneveld.nl/michel/archive/2009/12/05/kerberos-authentication-tester.aspx) are reporting kerberos is used when connecting to the sharepoint site.
SPN for the sharepoint server is created and the sharepoint service account is allowed for delegation.
When looking at fiddler when connecting to the PowerPivot document in BIDS, i see an ADOMD.net POST request to /_vti_bin/PowerPivot/redirector.svc/ failing with error 401, even the request containing the auth cookie.
I updated the web.Config in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\PowerPivot to use CredentialType "Windows" instead
of NTLM.
In the sharepoint logs I find this error:

Hi Adam,
Thanks for helping out.
The web-app is set to Negotiate so that's ok. I've reset the web.config back to Windows, but without luck.
I did see some strange log entries in the ULS logs:

You mentioned the claims-to-windows token service. How do i check if it is configured correctly?

"Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer

(apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs. This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available. This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed". This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file. This only happens
when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
is the closest to our problem. In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened. But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE. This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE. Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
though it isn't running in the IE window. When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead. Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem. I could change the
links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case. In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open). For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
End Sub
2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In. I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters. Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
Public Class ThisAddIn
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
End Sub
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
MsgBox("Workbook open")
Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox(Err.Description)
End Sub
End Class
3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
<html>
<body>
<a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
</body>
</html>
6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
- Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
- Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
- Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
- Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
- Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
- Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
Any ideas / suggestions?

Hello Wayne,

A critical program error has occured while opening workbook

Dear friends,
A critical error has occured while opening workbook. The issue is that the same workbook is opening in some one machine but not in others.The following Dialog box is poping out when tried to open workbook:
"A critical program error has occured.The Program will now terminate.Please refer to trace for further information."
However,i did the full updation of service pack3 of MS Excel 2003 on my machine and the same version as on that particular machine(on which workbook is opening). The problem is still there.Please provide some solution.
Thankx a lot in advance!!!
regards,
Sandeep Singla

The machine where the workbook is opening has a GUI :-
Release : "710 Final Release"
File Version : 7100.2.7.1038
Build : 967944
Patch Level : 7
and the machine where the critical program error is coming has a GUI :-
Release : "710 Final Release"
File Version : 7100.2.8.1039
Build : 983952
Patch Level : 8
The Excel 2003 are similar in both the machines as the service pack3 has been installed in the machine where workbook was not opening.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep Singla

Error while Saving Workbook in BEx

Hi Experts,
When ever I am trying to same a workbook, I get the following error:
"workbook format .xlsm is not supported by the server"
Does anyone of you faced this error earlier ? Please suggest. I am working on SAP Netweaver 2007 and have MS Office 2007 installed in my system..
Best Regards,
Rishi

Hi,
Please let me know if you are opening the workbook in 3.5 Analyser. If
then unfortunately Business explorer Analyzer 3.x is not supporting the
new file-format. Please refer to note 1052761. If you would like to use
new office 2007 file format you need to use Bex Analyzer 7.0. Due to
the architecture of Analyzer 3.x this behaviour cannot be changed.
BW Support Package lower than SP16 it is not
possible to save files in Excel 2007 file formats on the server. But you
can still save files from Excel 2007. When using the SAP Default
Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format" as defined in note
1267924. If you create workbooks from scratch ensure that Excel creates
new files in XLS format (in the Excel options).
Afterwards you are able to save files with Excel 2007 in XLS file
format. The new Excel 2007 file formats require the implementation of
the latest BW Support Package.
If you are interested in saving workbooks in xlsm format you have to
use at least SP16 and a recent FEP (e.g. FEP801). But it is
not correct that it will work also when you implement the notes on a SP
level which is older then SP15, as then other corrections are missing.
And these points, I am afraid, cannot be downported to a Support package
less than SP15.
Therefore I have to ask you to import furhter SPs. Then I am pretty sure
that it will work.
Please check also note 1055581 ... where you find the info that
we recommend to use at least SPS15 (which is BW-SP17).
Thanks,
Venkat
So as mentioned above you can still save files from Excel 2007. When
using the SAP Default Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format"
as defined in note 1267924. For saving the workbook in the new file

Can naybody help me in this regard as the same workbook is opening in other system..Points will be awarded for the helpful answers..
Thanks in advance..

Niyati,
That hotfix can run only to the 640, even we have the same problem over here. Actually you should not upgarde the front end patch if you want to install. But that hot fix might run or may not run, you may get issues later with the GUI..
All these probles will cause becoz of frontend patch... If you are at patch 27 then you need to unistall and come back to the same patch level as your colleague has... actually i dont know how to unistall that patch.. Or else try out with frontend patch 28...
Hope it helps..
Assign points if it helps

The interaction between differents power view report (differents spreadsheet in the same workbook - based on the same datamodel)

Is it possible to connect different spreadsheet of powerview based on a same data model?
For eg, i have 2 powerview reports based on 2 differents spreadsheets in the same workbook.
If i filter a year (for eg YEAR = 2002) in the 1st report, i want the 2nd report automatically filter by my choice (<=> YEAR = 2002).
Thanks,

I don't think this is possible right now. But you will be able to add a view level filter which will filter all the visualizations at the same time if multiple visualizations are on the same sheet. Hope it helps.

How to create SAVE button in Workbook using BI IP Functionality

Hi All,
I have Real-time Infocube (ZCUBSDID) with me. Planning has been done on the cube using BI-IP (like Aggregation level, filter, planning function and planning sequence are present there).
As an Input i have everything in Quality system like I can access query in Bex Anlyzer (Input Ready Query) and also i have workbook associated with the query. SAVE button is also present on workbook which is giving result based on fiscal year and version.
Now my task is to create workbook on Development system with the same functionality as Quality System.
I have same Query available on DEV system also. I created new Workbook but SAVE button is not available in my workbook.
Can anyone suggest how to create SAVE button in my new workbook.
I am new in IP side so please let me know if i can get any help from workbook which is already present in Quality system.
Which type of analysis i should do to come out with solution.....otherwise let me know step by step procedure to create SAVE button on workbook using BI-IP functionality.
It will be great help. My advance thanks goes to you people.
Thanks,
Rupali Singh
