Xcelcius using updated excel sheets?

Hello,
My excel sheet looks something like this
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
10 20 30 <null> <null>
I have created a column chart using the values from A1 to A5, and supressing null values using the properties of the chart. And i have exported this as a flash file. Now the flash file displays 3 bars in the column chart, as expected.
My requirement is that when the values A4 and A5 are updated in the excel sheet, I want the flash file column chart also to display these values immediately without having to re-create the column chart in xcelcius.
Is this possible? If so, could you pls provide some pointers?
Regards,
Suraj.

Hello Suraj,
If I understand it correctly, you just have to import the new excel-file in Xcelsius, than the column-chart takes the new values in A4 and A5 automatically. And now you have to create a new flash-file.
Precondition: you have selected A1 until A5 in the column-chart and you have selected "Ignore blank cells" in "Behaviour" of column chart.
Hope, it helps
Regards, Larissa

Report using excel sheet as data source not working when deployed to production.

I have a set of SSRS reports that use an excel sheet as a datasource.
Now when I preview the reports or run them in the Visual Studio IDE on my local machine i.e
the development machine, the reports run fine & display all correct results.
However, when we deploy the reports to the Production machine which is on a separate server,
the following error message is displayed :
"The current action cannot be completed. The user data source credentials do not meet the requirements to run this report. Either the user data source credentials are not stored in the report server database, or the user data source is configured not to
require credentials but the unattended execution account is not specified. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)"
I've copy pasted the connection string used for connecting to the excel file as reference :
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyFolder\CurrentFile.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;";
The excel file has also been uploaded to the machine housing the reporting server (i.e to C:\MyFolder location)

Hi Aaakar,
From the error message, please try to change the setting of Credential type for the data source on report manager as follows:
Go to the Data Sources properties page.
For the Connect Using option, select Credentials stored securely in the report server.
In User Name and Password, type credentials that can be used to access the database. If you are using SQL Server as the data source, the user name must be valid for both logging on to the server and for accessing the database that contains the data for
the report.
If the user name and password are credentials for a Windows account, select Use as Windows Credentials.
If you want the report server to pass the credentials of the user accessing the report to the server hosting the external data source, click Windows Integrated Security. In this case, the user is not prompted to type a user name or password.
For more details about Configure Data Source Properties, please see:

Hope this helps.

If data in Excel sheet Refreshes will it reflect in Xcelsius (html view)

I have created one excel sheet which has data from 2 excel sheets. I have created this excel sheet using excel macros. I am using this excel sheet as input for the xcelsius. Everything is working fine.
But when the data in thr excel sheet is modified it is not getting reflected in Xcelsius.
I have gone through the online material available. But that asks for xml source. I am not using xml as the source for my excel sheet. I am using excel sheet as the source.
Is it possible to update the data in any version of Xcelsius (4.5 or 2008)?

There is an article that can explain how Xcelsius Engage 2008 and higher (not Present) can use XML to update your presentations from a modified Excel spreadsheet. View it [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502f3f56-f17d-2b10-a5bf-a85f12a9c30a].

Modify Excel sheet from the sharepoint 2013 by remote event receiver

Hi,
I am new in sharepoint 2013.Actually i want to update excel sheet (that are stored in sharepoint library) by remote event receiver.
Please help me how to do this.
Thanks

The proper response is that it's not possible because Excel Interops are not supported running on a server. The technical answer is that you could find work-arounds including treating it as an Open XML object. In either case, I think you need to develop
the Excel processing component first and then connect to that the external event receiver.

Field length shows more in excel sheet which is sent via email

I am sending excel sheet through email. I have data in internal table which i move to the email internal table and data is been sent via email using a excel sheet.
Now, when I open the excel sheet, i see that all fields get displayed but the last field is shown as too much length meaning field length is 15 chars but in excel sheet it shows as almost 40 - 50 chars.

Decalre one more field in your internal table ,which should be last field.
and do not pass header for this field and just pass the empty value to this field.
if not use this FM : EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT

You need some basic idea of range object in excel.
You need to create XLS with named ranges or create ranges dynamically.
This could be a neat way to upload XLS the OO way!
The function Module zjnc_get_range reads 1 range into any Internal
table.
DATA: BEGIN OF it_test OCCURS 0,
        vpd LIKE mseg-menge,
        vas LIKE mkpf-budat,
        vkm LIKE mseg-matnr,

      irecname        = 'it_test'
      spreadsheetintf = spreadsheetintf.
=Work!$A$14:$C$16 is range "test"
Numbers & Character data are no problem BUT dates are.
In Excel default date is mm/dd/yyyy but is dependent on PC's
international setting which is normally default
To Avoid any 5-March 3-May type mix-up, I have designed the FM so that you need to
enter dates as 'dd.Mon.yyyy i.e. in Characters in "Internet Date Format"

The goal is to synchronize an excel sheet using Microsoft Excel 2010 with Sharepoint 3.0

The goal is to synchronize an excel sheet using Microsoft Excel 2010 with Sharepoint 3.0. We have already installed an add-in (Excel 2007 Add-in: Synchronizing Tables with SharePoint Lists) that was supposed
to help the synchronization of excel to Sharepoint, but it did not work. We would like to synchronize information about a calendar from excel to Sharepoint 3.0, so every time a change is made in excel it automatically updates in Sharepoint.

ootb, changes in excel don't sync with a SharePoint list, the other way around is possible.

Excel sheet on sharepoint to be used as source for Xcelsius dashboard

Hi Everyone,
We have to build an Xcelsius dashboard based on an excel sheet's data. This excel sheet is placed on a sharepoint, which will be updated periodically.
I would like to know what kind of dat a connection i can use to fetch this excel data and publish this dashboard.
I couldnt find any suitable type of connection in the data manager...please suggest me a way to get this done.
Thanks,
Shesha.

Hi Ryan,
Yes our customer does have sharepoint, can you please let me know how the sharepoint can expose the Excel spread sheet as a web service. I think this solution will work out, if i can get the web service. Please share the steps for this.
Does it involve any 3rd party tools? .
Thanks,
Shesha.

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!
SAM

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

How to update a custom list when there is a changes in excel sheet uploaded in document library

I have created a document library in which m uploading a excel sheet with values in it and i have created a custom list with same no.of.rows and columns in the excel sheet given the same name of columns. Now i have to make sure that whatever changes i do
in the excel sheet should automatically gets updated in custom list in sharepoint

You'll need to create an event receiver for when you add/update a document on the source library (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg749858(v=office.14).aspx)
Then, with code open the excel file and count the rows. You can use the OpenXmlSDK to do that (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5124)
Good luck ;)

Getting the number of pages in excel sheet or current page using OLE2

Hi,
I fill an excel sheet using CLIENT_OLE2 from Oracle 10g form,
I want to get the number of pages in sheet or the number of current page,
after searching for solution I found this example on VB:
Sub GetPageCount()
Dim iView As Integer
Dim iHorizontalBreaks As Integer
Dim iVerticalBreaks As Integer
Dim iPageCount As Integer
On Error Resume Next
'go to the range and set PrintArea to the range name
Application.Goto Reference:="ABC"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
'turn monitor flickering/updating off
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'remember current View setting
iView = Application.ActiveWindow.View
'refresh the print area
Application.ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview
'set view back
Application.ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
'turn monitor flickering/updating back on
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'calculate the # of pages
iHorizontalBreaks = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Count + 1
iVerticalBreaks = ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks.Count + 1
iPageCount = iHorizontalBreaks * iVerticalBreaks
How can I implement this using CLIENT_OLE2?
Any assistance would be welcome.
Thanks

IF all the panels were exactly the same width (highly doubtful for a roll-fold) and IF ID supported 12 pages per spread (it doesn't) then it might be less work to make 12-page spreads and place the PDF twice, but since I think there's a really good chance you'll need to adjust the positioning for at least 22 pages, that seems doomed.
I wouldn't even bother, in this case, with facing pages. Presumably they want this for the screen, so there's nothing gained from facing pages or multiple columns. You can either make the file with 24 pages and place the PDF 12 times for each page of the PDF, or place each page of the PDF once in a 2-page file, then copy the pages and reposition the image in the frame for each panel. The big thing here is to put the PDF into frames that are the same size as the new page (so they get cropped down to one-panel on each page). Then it's just a case of sliding the the PDF left or right in the frame to expose the next panel.
