Xcelsius not linking to Excel document

When attempting to link in cells from my Excel document. I get nothing in return. For example: If I was to try to link a single value box to a cell in my Excel document I wouldu2026
1.     Create a single value box
2.     Click u201Clink to Cell:u201D
3.     Select the cell in the workbook
This should return the value in that cell and display the path in the u201Clink to Cellu201D box in the single value boxu2019s properties. Neither happens, the "link to cell" box remains with the value "0.0" in it as if I had not done anything.
Info on my Excel document
1. Size 372 KB (is this too large?)
2 Formulas used: Vlookup, concatenate
3. Linked to external source: No
I have created dashboards before and never had this issue. If you have any advise, it would be much appreciated!

Have you updated your Xcelsius to the latest FP2? [Xcelsius 2008 Engage Fix Pack 2 (FP2) is available;
After that when you originally load the xlf file do you get any error message? Sounds like the xlf is not completely loaded making the spreadsheet unusable.
Is this only happening with one particular xlf?

Tutor: Adding a Prior Activity that does not link to a document

When the docs are published, the Prior Activities come across as broken links if a document filename is not included in the formatting.
Is there a way around this so that if someone clicks on a prior activity which is not linked to a document, it doesn't do anything - rather than appearing as a broken link?
Thank you.

Can you provide the exact text that you are putting under the Prior Activity heading?
Kind regards,
Emily

Numbers does not have rotated text within cells. You can place a text box over the cell that has rotated text but you cannot rotate text within a cell.

Link to Excel document in site throws "Document with same name already open"

I have an Excel document stored in a document library in SP2010. I provided a link to the document in a CEWP on a page. When clicking the link on the page, Excel throws the erorr "Two documents with the same name cannot be opened" error.
When clicking the link in the document library, the Excel workbook opens fine. When hovering over both links, the URL in the status bar is identical. Here is the link in the page:
<span style="width:120px; padding-right:50px;">
<a class="ms-addnew" href="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/Shared%20Documents/RA1.xlsm">
<img src="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/SiteAssets/excelsmall.jpg" style="border:none;vertical-align:middle;"></img> Download to Excel</a>
</span>
Thanks in advance,

Hi jd_hancock,
The scenario is not reproduced in my environment.
I used Fiddler to check whether there are differences between them to download the file, it seems the same and the file also successfully opened in the Content Editor Web Part.
I would suggest you to use the same way to check whether the download process is the same, also, type the url directly in the address bar, whether the document can be opened as expected?
Thanks,
Qiao

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

FSCM - Credit - Documented Credit Decision not linking to Sales Document

When a Sales Order is created/changes a credit check occurs and a Documented Credit Decision is created. The issue is that the Documented Credit Decision case does not seem to have a link to the Sales Order from which it was created. When selecting to Check, Release or Reject the Sales Doc from the SCASE screen an error message appears. Does anyone know where I should be looking to resolve? Not sure if this is a config related issue, web service, or a Badi code issue.
These are the errors received when selecting each option (check, release, reject)
Cannot be checked; entry does not relate to sales document
Message no. UKM_DCD_MSG028
Cannot be released, entry does not relate to sales document
Message no. UKM_DCD_MSG029
Rejection not possible; entry does not relate to an SD document
Message no. UKM_DCD_MSG042

Solution: Activate DCD_ACTIVE within BAdI UKM_R3_ACTIVATE

I can not access my excel documents why?

I have saved Excel documents on my Mac, however I can no longer open them why? Word and Powerpoint are working fine. What do I need to do?

Hi. Nothing has changed, we have not updated any software When I try to open the Excel document which is saved I get the microsoft error reporting message wayting that microsoft excel has enocuntered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If I then try and click on Excel itself either from the dock or from the tool bar it will not open, a message comes up saying Excel saved changes to the file before the application qit unexpectedly. Do you want to open the last saved version of this file? It make no difference if you click cancel or open.
Therefore I am unable to create a simple spreadsheet as excel just will not open.
Word and Powerpoint I said earlier were fine, however this is only if you open from the tool bar. From the dock nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Oh I can in finder quick look at the document and all details are there, I just cant open it.
Thanks

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

How do I convert an exported excel document to numbers? I am able to get the data into numbers but I can't read it.

I am trying to get an excel document I exported from Wufoo into numbers on my mac. It works but I cannot read the data.

I got it to work!! Just had to select Commas (.csv) instead of excel for the export. What happened before was that I chose .xls to export the data and when I tried to open the file in Numbers, it showed an error.
Import Warning - This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different.
the data was all symbols etc..
Thanks for replying to my question!

Generated PDF file...TOC Items Not Linked

Been racking my brain all day trying to figure out how the heck I created a PDF document TOC with hot links to the document pages from FM 9...and now all of a sudden when I save as a PDF from FM 9 my PDF document TOC is not linked to the document. Help in FM 9 is not very helpful. I'm using FM 9, Structured. Help please.
Thank you,
Eric G.

Hi Art, thank you for responding so fast. My TOC is being generated by an external source (ATA iSpec2200 app), so I don't have a "TOC" FM file to view properties on. At one time I was saving docs to PDF and having the TOC links active. Do you think the problem lies in my external TOC generator?

Can not open linked files - word documents

Hi,
Currently running SLED10sp1 with Adobe Reader 7.0.8 at a school. Some educational CDs use PDF documents with links to various files on the CD, especially word .doc files.
For example, one of the CDs has a start.pdf file in the root of the CD. When you open it it has a menu of a couple of categories. When you click on one of the categories it open activities.pdf which has an index of various subjects.
When you click on one of the subjects Adobe Reader says "Adobe Reader could not open 'act-01-01.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Click "OK" - the only option.
Adobe Reader says "The application "/media/path/do/act-01-01.doc" is set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only open the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file."
Buttons available are "Do not show this message again", "Do Not Open" and "Open".
Clicking Open does nothing.
When double clicking act-01-01.doc file from Nautilus it opens fine using OpenOffice.org 2.1's Writer.
When running Adobe Reader from the command line the following output is generated when clicking on the link to act-01-01.doc:
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
sh: -c: line 0: `DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 ; export DISPLAY ; ( ) &'
Then when the "Open" button is clicked:
sh: /media/0731401689/technology/activities/chap01/act-01-01.doc: cannot execute binary file
The "Allow documents to open other files and launch other application" tick box is ticked in the Preferences.
Can someone please help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rob

Thanks Salil, that works for one CD, the other CDs have spaces in files and directories and it looks like Adobe Reader doesn't know how to deal with the spaces.
For example:
In a terminal I execute:
acroread /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/PDF/MQ9\ NSW\ 5_3\ Tech\ files.pdf
When I click on any of the links that link to a word doc files Adobe Reader exhibits the exact same behaviour as in my initial post.
This is the path of the file Adobe Reader tries to open:
/media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology files/MQ9 NSW 5_3 TI GC programs/TI GC word docs/010-CoinflipTI.doc.
When I click open, this is what echos in the terminal:
sh: /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology: No such file or directory
I hope there is a workaround for this because the mime fix only helped me with 1 out of about 10 CDs.
For Adobe Reader to open Excel documents would I append:
application/msexel; ooffice "%s"
to /etc/mailcap?
Thanks in advanced.

Rob

Automatic Linking from Excel 2013 to Word 2013 not working.

I use Word and Excel to create reports about certain real estate properties. When I have a new job, I just rename the old files and continue working. I also have active links from Excel into Word that are set to automatically update. I
used to use Office 2003 and all worked fine. Now in 2013, after I rename and convert the files to the 2013 file formats, the links do not update automatically. Here are my steps:
1. Copy the 2003 Excel and Word files to a new folder (these files link properly, where if I make a change in Excel 2003 it automatically flows to Word 2003)
2. Rename the Excel and Word files to the new job name and convert them to 2013 file formats.
3. Open the now 2013 Word file and do not update Excel links (as it is still linked to old 2003 file).
4. Break all links in Word 2013 to the Excel 2003 files.
5. Insert new active Hyperlinks in Word 2013 to the Excel 2013 files making sure that it is set to "automatic updates".
HOWEVER, now the links will NOT automatically update. If I have both Word and Excel 2013 files open and make changes in Excel, you do not see them in Word. You have to right click on the area and choose "Update
Links". Is there anywhere else that controls the automatic update features?

Hi,
I actually can reproduce this problem on one Office 2013 machine, but on the other machine with Office 2013, it automatically updates the link as it should.
You can create a new Word document and a new Excel file, copy the content from the old files to the new files, re-create the link, check if the link can automatically update.

"Document Not Saved" Microsoft Excel 2010 SP1

We have a remote office which has a 2mb WAN link, The users in the remote office have a variety of Office installs from 2003 to 2010 SP1.
When attempting to open an excel file over the WAN link (The file is on our main shared drive in Sydney) they can open and edit the document however when it comes to saving they receive "Document not saved" and the original document is gone and a .tmp file
remains where the original file was on the network drive/shared folder.
If they then hit save a second time it saves correctly and the document is in the correct .xls format.
The excel files do have some funky tables etc in them and are a few mb's in size, however we have the same issue with a new excel document with only one word written in it.
Does anyone know what would be causing this issue?
We have tried added NetworkResiliency and PivotTableNetworkResiliency as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291204.
We have tried removing certain hot fixes from Microsoft as mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458.
We added the share to be a trusted site.
There are no errors in Event Viewer.
I have found another few threads on similar issues with no fix:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/f559b061-b98f-4b33-ab8a-d1a41d2e8cb8/
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeappcompat/thread/4af962a0-d883-4e82-8995-7eb766d6c720
We do have a RiverBed at the remote office and one at the site in Sydney which is for network optimization. On the RiverBed with have all CIFS ports added and QoS marking done so it should be optimized.
Any assistance with how to fix this annoying issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We're having the same exact issue in our office where we just installed a new Riverbed Steelhead as well... only happening in that office as well...User opens a document on a network share that the rest of the company works from day to day, they save 10
or 20 minutes later and BAM... "There has been a network or file permissions error. The network connection may be lost", then a non-hidden *.tmp file is then created in the same network directory as the actual file and the original file doesn't get
written to, you click [OK] on the error and then try to save again and it magically works...and you're left with a messy TMP file as well in the directory now. I doubt it's related to antivirus, definitely not firewall, reinstalling/repairing office and tweaking
settings doesn't help, I agree it has nothing to do with locking files or read-only files as they're plain old word docs and excel files...MAYBE it has to do with the Riverbed WANOP appliance but either way... don't you love how this thread just randomly died
with no solutions? :'( Thanks Micro$oft ;)
{Edit} Oh! And one last thing...this MIGHT help steer someone in the right direction in the future... there could be a problem related to your network filer such as a NetApp appliance, EMC, Netgear etc where there is an SMB version mis-match or a bug of some
kind requiring you to apply a patch your storage device in order to fix this type of issue.
