Hi experts.
I need to convert lot of workbooks from Bex 3.5 to Analysis for Excel.
Some of them are huge ( more than 50 tabs with lot of formulas inside).
Do you know how can i convert them without recreating them from scratch?
I have tried to open an existing Bex Workbook but i cannot insert a new query, as all analysis tabs are disabled and the xls sheet looks static.
Waiting forward for an answer from you.
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
I have BusinessObjects 1.4 SP06 with Excel 2013 and I am trying to include a planning sequence (or function) in the workbook.
After including the planning sequence in the components tab, the properties are not displayed and if I try to select it again the system issues the following error message:
Control does not support transparent background colors
The image shows the error message and the components tab with no properties for the planning sequence.
The detailed error, from the log file, is the following:
com.sap.ip.bi.pioneer.core.main.CrSession.ProcessUnhandledException() ()
- Critical: General .NET Exception:
Control does not support transparent background colors.

I have re-installed BOA and installed the latest SP version, but without luck. Has anyone encountered this error? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Reading the SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office User's Guide on page 82/83 I can see that user can filter values user "contains pattern" with an extra-information "*You can not use these syntax rules for filtering."
We can filter datas with pattern into SAP BW, so users want to have same functionnality with AfOffice (and they don't understand why we can do this before and not in the nex BI tool whereas it's included in User Guide).
Does it exist a workaround or any information about a release of this capability ?
Environment : Analysis for Office 1.4.2
Thanks for your support,

Hello experts,
I installed in office 2013 analysis for excel, and then run the query but in the area of design, I have chosen to display, but not shown elements of analysis to create the dynamic table.
You know, what's the problem?
Thank you very much.
Hi,
I have a workbook with 2 ready for input queries on 2 tabs. Both queries run on the same aggregation level.
First Tab has one query with 2 mandatory variables country (Multi) year(single)
Second Tab has one query with 2 mandatory variables country (Single) year(single) & store(All)
so the second query is actually a detailed view (store) of the first but then sliced to 1 country .
When opening the workbook I actually do not know for what county I want to detail out by store.
So including it in the prompt as a mandatory variable does not help.
Best case there would be a prompt that comes up when moving to the second query/tab only asking for a single selekt for country.
I have no idea how to do this, do you?
Best Regards,
Georg
Hello folks,
we are currently facing some performance issues regarding big data sets with IP and Analysis. We've been wondering if there is a possibility to reset a data source. Unfortunately the command "Call Application.Run("SAPSetRefreshBehaviour", "Off")" is only applicable for all queries and not able to select for one.
In Conclusion we would like to use one Query when pressing a button showing the second Query and disable the first one. Is there any functionality which will give us the possibility to do so´?
thanks for your help,
kind regards,
Alex
p.s.: We tried already with RRI but there is the Problem, that the user is locking himself during he has 2 open queries.
Is this a limitation of our setup? The documentation on Analysis for Excel all references prompts as being variables in a BEx query. That's great, but what if you don't have a BEx query as your data source and you still want to prompt users to enter a date range when opening a workbook? I've attempted to use Input Parameters in the HANA view, but nothing seems to happen.
Anyone know of any workarounds that might work?
Thanks!

Dear all,
as you can see in the title, I am facing a problem regarding the disaggregation of the value 0. When I am in BOA and I enter "0" for net sales the average selling price won't change automatically to 0 as well, after the recalculation (I fixed the quantity; ASP = Net Sales / Net Quantity). Especially when I drag new characteristics into the columns, the value is not applied to 0, but still kept in its original form.
Does this refer to any settings within my query? Or do you have any other idea?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards

Hi there,
We have two BW application servers here, but it looks like AO always logs users into the first one, ignoring the other one and causing performance issues.
Is there a way to enable load balancing for AO?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: BW server v7.31; AO v1.4.5.2837 for Excel 32bits

Hello everybody,
In a fist step i want to refresh two queries in my workbook.
In a second step, i want to have some developments with the result of this two queries.

Is it possible?
Thank you,

We're currently on version 1.4.4.2737. I've created the advanced analysis office workbook using BOBJ connection and stored it on my PC. Next time when I open the workbook from PC and try to refresh it, it asks for BOBJ credential and then executes and I get attached message. No dump found in SAP BI (ST22).
If I create the workbook using SAP BI (Enter Skip on BOBJ credential popup) and then tried to reopen it, Refresh works perfectly fine.
Any idea why it gives error while refreshing the workbook on PC created using BOBJ connection?
Thanks,
Milind

We are in process of migrating BEx workbook into Analysis workbooks, So we are testing all version of AO with all SP levels. My client had AO 1.4 SP 0, But we are trying the reports with AO 1.4 SP 6 , its much better than SP 0. But still the performance is too bad in AO 1.4 SP 6..
So can some one help in this.?
Do BW 7.0 SP10 is ok to use with AO 1.4 SP6.??

Please help me in this.

The Launch Query Designer link is active on the Excel ribbon but a SAP log in screen opens up forcing a second log in when you click on the link. I am able to access the query and load it into Analysis so I don't understand why that connection information is not passed along when I try to open Query Designer from the link under Tools section of the ribbon. Has anyone found a way to have single sign on? We are running version 1.4.2.2625 of Analysis. Thanks in advance.
Hi experts,

Thank you very much.

We recently upgraded to Analysis for Office 1.4 SP4_1. We got following error when open a workbook which was created before SP4_1 and save on local PC. Requested system could not be found in 'logon.ini' (ID-103043). Could not access system BWD for data source (ID-103013)
There is no issue at all when open a workbook previously saved in NW platform (via Portal iView), or newly created workbooks with new DataSource. the logon request prompts up as usual. Have someone got the same issue?
Hi All,
When using Analysis for Office 1.4 I notice that my dimensions are always formatted in text en never available in number.
Year is shown as
'2014
'2013
'2012
instead of
2014
2013
2012
The Key of my Point-of-Sale is shown as
'1
'10
'11
'2
'3
instead of
1
2
3
...
10
11
Is there a way to prevent this and shown them by default in numerical format?
Kind Regards,

Hi SCN,
Am using SAP BO Analysis Office on top of SAP HANA.
I can see I have an option of using "Last Data Update" in this Info field as shown below:
But the "Last Data Update" gives me the last activated date of the HANA Model which am using for displaying the report.
Is there any function I can use to get the Last updated date of the table used in the HANA Model?
Awaiting your Inputs.
