Hi,

I have created couple of analysis for office report and these reports work fine when I run it through desktop client.

However when I saved these report to portal and trying to run through  the launch pad. It downloads a file with extension SAPAOX and the file loads in excel and it loads the analyser as well but no data gets loaded and all sheets are blank.

I get below message in the background.

I am on Analysis 1..4 SP9 and windows 7, 32 bit. MS office 2007.

Thanks.

here is the log file content.

If you logon to SMP this link should provide the fixes but SAP has not released the release note 2241327 yet.

Hi all,

we are migrating some BEx workbooks to BO Analysis for office 1.4. As for our first try it worked really good in our opinion. We just have some question regarding the "got to" functionality and standard workbooks.

We created a standard workbook which we used as template for all our BEx reports. After migration we still have all the template look and feel but we want to use that created standard workbook for all our Analysis reports also when we use the "go to"/ "report to report interface" function.

For example:

The user will open a report workbook saved within the BW repository. For further analysis he/she wants to "drill down" to another query. With right click onto the table and selecting the "Go to" functionality the desired query is available as we configured all that within the query designer and the BW. By selecting the query, a new workbook opens without any layout or standard workbook look&feel. Just a new workbook with standard excel layout opens and the query result is entered from cell A1 to xyz.

We would love to have that report opened with a standard look and feel but can not find any way for this. Therefore we would need a template or standard workbook functionality so that every Analysis reports which will open, will have that basis template look&feel.

Could anyone provide help for that issue or is this not available in the Analysis version 1.4?

Many thanks in advance and just the best,

Katja

I have a user that has Analysis for Office v1.4 installed on her machine. She's using Windows XP and Office 2007 and when we try to start up Analysis Excel opens but no splash screen comes up. When I close Excel the attached error message comes up with the text of "The Launcher is exited with error, see log file for more details.". The log file text is:

After opening excel again I was able to manually activate the Analysis COM Add-in and use the program as usual. However, after I exit and try to re-launch I have to manually activate it again. I saw one "fix" that mentioned copying the dlls from the temp install files into the Analysis folder but that didn't fix it either. We've used the same install on other machines with the same configuration without incident. Any ideas?

Thanks!

hi all,

I am currently on Analysis for Excel 1.4.10.3295 and on MS Excel 2013. But I am still getting this error.

" An exception occurred in one of the data sources. SAP BI Add-in has disconnected all data sources (ID-111007)"

Appreciate if someone could share any insights they may have on this issue.

Dear Experts,

Working on Analysis for Office 2.2 SP2 based on Hana SP10, I need to create a measure which calculates the percentage contribution of each values.

According to the end user guide, the option should be available through the Dynamic Calculation.

Unfortunately,under the Calculation button, the option is grayed when I select the header of my measure...

Any idea??

Thanks

Hello All,

We are in process of converting AO workbooks from 1.4 to 2.x , But we are having hard time on how to determine a report is in AO 1.4 or AO 2.x .

So, is there a way to determine a workbook in AO 1.4 or 2.x ?

Thanks

Hi,

I have just installed analysis for excel (SP9) on excel 2013 x64 but when I go to select the data source I don't see the connections to BW. I also installed SP10 for windows 7 x64 and excel 2013 x64 but the same.

The connection to BW exists.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Dear all,

I´m trying to create a HANA Connection to Analysis for Office with following versions installed:

Analysis for Office 2.0

Just updated Client BI 4.1 to SP 5

HANA version (under HANA Studio) is 1.00.80.00.391861

I have been trying different options and I have not been able to connect porperly to the data.

With a Relational Connection created in the IDT I can access the HANA sources and build my report normally, but at the moment of saving the report I get an error saying: "Cannot save workbook in 2.0 format because it is still in 1.4 format and contains an inactive SAP HANA data source"

Do you have any idea of why I get this error?

Thanks and BR

Can we connect SAP HANA information models to Analysis for Microsoft office. I went through various documents available, however i just found how BEx queries on top of BW on HANA can be connected but i couldn't find anything specific to Sidecar HANA models.

Thank you.

Hi to all of you,

I am trying to set up IBPF on a new system.

Everything looks good in terms of activation of objects...

But when I try to run the workbooks, Analysis for Office (2.2 SP 2)   throws an exception:

An exception occurred in one of the data sources.

SAP BI Add-in has disconnected all data sources. (ID-111007)

and

Nested exception. See inner exception below for more detailsUnable to cast object of type 'System.NullReferenceException' to type 'bali.lang.Exception'.

I do not even get the variables prompt screen...

I can run the queries in RSRT, I have data...Agregations levels are ok, etc

I tried also to create a brand new workbook with the query, and I have the same behaviour....

Here is my technical context

- BW is defined in a Testing client, so the config is closed.

- All objects are active in BW

- /ERP/SFIN bundle activation performed as per note 1972819 - Setup Integrated Business Planning for Finance and Embedded BW Reporting

and the following blog: Activation of IBPF and embedded BW

I have no clue where to look to understand the problem....

Any idea, where to start ??

Hi guys,

We want our users to log onto BW via the BO platform. At the moment I can pull a BW user through into our BO system and they can log onto Analysis by selecting BO platform using SAP Authentication. The next step is that they need to log onto BW. We don't have SSO set up so again they use their BW userID and password.

What are the options open to us for allowing our users to log onto BW? By that I mean which of the connection options can we use? Currently I only see a list of systems when I select 'Local System' and it pulls thought the systems from my .ini file and I can connect ok to any system regardless of which BO system I connected to.

Can/should I be able to see a list of Systems that we want to give our users access to from the 'System' option from the conenctions pull-down?

I can't find any documentation that details how I go about doing this, if it's at all possible. I assume I do some security in the BO CMC?

I hope the above makes sense? Regards and thanks in advance,

Stephen

Dear fellow users,

I encounter a problem when using macros in an Excel Workbook to access Analysis functions in order to refresh datasources, set filters etc.

After closing the workbook in Excel via File -> Close or clicking the "X" in its window, the Workbook is still available in the Visual Basic Editor.

If I have several files open, I will get memory issues, as the supposedly closed files still seem to take up (quite a lot of) memory.

I use AO 1.4.4.2736 with Excel 2010 32bit.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Please see attaced image. I have one open file, I close it, but is still visible in the VBE.

After unloading the Analysis Com-AddIn the file is gone, Memory is freed.

Hi,

I have a question on how others have setup the connection to HANA for Analysis for Office. I am wanting to setup end users to access data from HANA using Analysis for Office.

According to the Administrator Guide the SAP HANA OLAP connections are currently not SSO compatible.  Also according to the guide an OLAP connection to the Hana database with authentication type Pre-defined cannot work with Analysis for Office because the pre-defined user (and password) is not exposed to local clients such as Analysis.

We have HANA Analytic views and Caculation views which we are accessing using Analysis for Office using an OLAP connection defined in the CMC. At the moment the way for users to access the HANA data is to log in to the HANA system through a SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform prompt and then a second login prompt to HANA. This is not a very good solution as users have to go through two prompts entering two user ids and passwords. Also this means that every end user has to have a HANA login as well rather than us being able to setup a pre-defined user in HANA like we can with Analysis for OLAP.

I am hoping that someone can shed some light on what a good solution might be.

Note:We have native HANA and we don’t have BW on HANA.

Thanks

Steve,

Hi Experts,

               We have been working on creating a planning solution which provides the user to input comments against the planning data.  We are using Analysis for Office 2.2 ( BW 7.5 on HANA SP10).  Inputting comments works fine in done through RSRT ( comments gets saved in the backend).  But when the same comments are being input through Analysis for Office, all the plan data gets saved except for comments. 

             Also, there is another behavior of Analysis for Office which is mysterious.  When we are trying to select members ( master data for characteristics, it behaves differently.  If i'm not already selecting any master data in any column of characteristics and just looking at the available master data from member selector ( ? symbol ),  every column shows its respective MD in the selections.  But when i make a selection for a characteristic master data in one column,  in next column Member selection doesn't show up any Master data for that columns characteristic. 

             Not sure, if i'm missing a trick or as such. Would appreciate, If anyone of you could provide a solution at the earliest. 

Regards,

Syed
