How To Control the Langauge of BI Reports (Using Excel 2013, oData, and Project Server Online 2013)

Although I buried and posted the following question indirectly in a recent post, I would like to do so here to try and elevate it in the hope that I can get an answer.
It is in regards to creating reports using Excel 2103 to querry Project Server 2013 Online using oData. I would like to be able to control the langauge of my reports that I create for others to view.
Just creating and then saving the Report and Data Connections in a language directory does not seem to drive or determine the language of the report. A colleague of mine over here is using the same directories as I am, and his turn
out to be French like his environment. Mine, even though I save the files in same the French directories, display in English.
Any ideas on how I can create reports so that they display in another language, eg., French when using Excel to create reports? I know that we can set the language in an internet browser to control the language that the result is returned, for instance,
when querying https://.../pwa/_api/ProjectData/$metadata

Correction! Thanks to Doug Welsby of Microsoft and some our other MS friends who worked behind the scenes to correct/ assist me on this, I got the right answer after all... the difference between, example a French oData command/ statement,
and an English one is the inclusion of the square brackets with the language abbreviation/ code e.g., "[Fr..]" in the oData connection string/ statement. For further reference, see the connection files provided by Microsoft in the Reports and
compare the syntax for the same report/ different language. There is where you will see what and how Excel is able to differentiate/ control what language that the report result will return.

Asset Report S_ALR_87011990 Excel 2013 64 Bit issue

Hello Expert,
Some of my users has upgraded MS Office 2013 64 bits version. All SAP reports work fine in ALV grid. Only asset report S_ALR_87011990 show blank values in the output. I checked all possible excel macro settings in excel and they are fine, but still result is same. In cases where user has upgraded MS Office 2013 in 32 bit version there it works fine and no issue.
Any clue what could be the reason 64 bit version is not supported by GUI. I am using GUI 730.
Did anyone faces similar situation. Please share your adopted solution. Thanks in advance!

Hi Yuki,
Excel macro settings is already in place and as I said it works on 32 version, but not on 64 bit version.
Any other clue?

Unable to create a TFS Report in Excel (via SSAS)

Dear all,
I hope this is the correct forum to ask my question about TFS and SSAS. We have a TFS2012 environment in a domain. We have installed and configured the reporting and analysis services (SQL Server 2012). Now I am trying to create a report in Excel (2013)
based on a TFS query but I get an exception:
TF208056: An error occurred while the command was accessing the Analysis Services database TFS_Analysis on the server <Servername>.
I am, hoewever, able to connect to the analysis server with the credentials I enter in Excel.
Hope anyone of you has an idea. Please inform me if I need to supply any more info.

Hi Ben,
According to your description, you are experiencing the issue "TF208056: An error occurred while the command was accessing the Analysis Services database TFS_Analysis on the server <Servername>." when trying to create a report in Excel (2013)
based on a TFS query, right?
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the port for the SQL Browser service was blocked on the local machine. You can open windows firewall for AS to check if this issue is persists or not.
Open the windows firewall for AS
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server Analysis Services inbound on TCP 2383" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=2383 profile=domain
Open the windows firewall for browser (optional)
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server Browser Services inbound on TCP 2382" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=2382 profile=domain

Excel 2013 hangs when previewing xls file made by Reporting Server 2008

Hi all.
I have a unusual error in excel 2013. We have a homepage that delivers statics to our users and there you can choose to export the webpage to a xls file via SQL ReportingServer 2008. The thing is when I open this exported file in Excel and hit the print
button, excel crashes. It seems to crash during the preview of the document. If I make a document by hand that has exactly the same format as the exported document, excel will preview and print it.
I have tried to change default printer and printer drivers but no success. Office 2013 is also up to date.
If I save the document from SRSS and try to print it from another computer with Excel 2013 installed, it crashes Excel.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you use another Excel file to preview or print? Did the Excel crash again?
I recommend we export a different webpage to a XLSX, then we test it again.
I notice that you try to print the document from another compute and also crashed Excel.
Following this, I suppose that there were some underidentified characters in the file.
After that, I suggest we save as the file to PDF to test.

I have tried printing another excelfile without problems. Infact I can make a replica manually of the report and print it without problem. I can't narrow it down to either a RS fault or Excel fault cause the logfiles don't say much. If I export the report
to a PDF it prints fine, but my users will complain about lack of editing :-)
If I save the xls file to xlsx and tries to print it also hangs in print preview.
An interesting thing is when i export the file to PDF/XPS (PDF in this case) it also hangs Excel...
How do I look for underidentified
characters in the file? I don't see anything in the spreadsheet.

Excel 2013 connect to a cube, and Power View concatenate the column name by default

Hi Guys,
Currently, we met a problem with excel services to connect to a cube, when we develope a Excel 2013 Powerview report, the data model column name is concatenate into terrible name by default. e.g. Dim TimeDate Date, Dim TimeTime HierachyYear -Month.
But when start up the data model with Powerpivot, everything gone well. We knew that it can be manual update the name as workaround, but we need to do it every time we create a new powerview with the data model.
Is that any other solution we can do with?
Please help.

Excel Merge Cells.vi throws an undefined error in Excel 2013?

Basically, I can't write text into an Excel spreadshoot using the Report Generation tools.
Using LabVIEW 2013 (SP1) I am writing to individual cells in an Excel (2013) template.
The error is coming from the Report Generation Toolkit>Excel Specific>Excel Easy Text.vi.>Excel Merge Cells.vi.
Inside of the "Excel Merge Cells.vi" is an "Invoke Node.Range". When the program hits this point, it throws out an undefined error.
My code has been running on multiple platforms in multiple programs with no problems using Office 2010.
NASA upgraded our Office Suit to 2013. I am now throwing an undefined error ( -2146827284).
I've got a service request in and have talked to an engineer. THey are looking at the problem. However, I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone had seen this particular problem.
Bryan Alexander

Problem found, workaround implemented.
When you use the "New Report.vi", you have to wire in one of four choices for the state of the window. "Maximized", "Minimized", "Normal" and "No Change". If you use the "Excel Easy Text.vi" to insert data into an Excel 2013 Spreadsheet, it will generate an error if you opened the Excel file in "Minimized" mode. The other three states work fine.

Report in Excel format fails for huge amount of data with headers!!

Hi All,
I have developed an oracle report which fetches upto 5000 records.
The requirements is to fetch upto 100000 records.
This report fetches data if the headers are removed. If headers are given its not able to fetch the data.
Have anyone faced this issue??
Any idea to fetch huge amount of data by oracle report in excel format.
Thanks & Regards,
KP.

Hi Manikant,
According to your description, the performance is slow when display huge amount of data with more than 3 measures into powerpivot, so you need the hardware requirements for build a PowerPivot to display huge amount of data with more than 3 measures, right?
PowerPivot benefits from multi-core processors, large memory and storage capacities, and a 64-bit operating system on the client computer.
Based on my experience, large memory, multiprocessor and even
solid state drives are benefit PowerPivot performance. Here is a blog about Memory Considerations about PowerPivot for Excel for you reference.

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
folder.
The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
Applied GPOs
Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
Administrative Templates
Extra Registry Settings
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
Any ideas?
I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
per your suggestion:
1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

Hi,
I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
and open it again ,it works fine.
Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
       Network shared file and sometime locally
Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
      it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
   Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
Does the file have some macros?
Yes, they have macros in some files
Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
       it happened before too.
Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.
Please suggest

3. I notice that >>Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013 <<, it also might be caused by the Microsoft Office File Validation for Office 2010, please try to change setting in server with

How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
also changes color.
However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing.
I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
other one comes to the foreground.
I'm no sure how it's doing that.
Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
Thank You
Keith Aul
Keith Aul

The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.
