Power Point :: Data Refresh More Than Once A Day
Jun 23, 2010
Is it possible to parameterize SharePoint so that the PowerPoint data refresh is done more than daily ? There is a daily, weekly and monthly entry in the configuration panel, but it seems there is no way to do it more frequently. Sounds rather odd, as there are lots of businesses where the refresh must be done (and can be done) during lunchtime...
I am open to any non-standard solution : SharePoint web service, capturing the HTTP frame when changing the parameter with the ASAP checkbox activated and replaying it later.

I have SharePoint 2010, which I have uploaded a PowerPivot model onto.
Currently it doesn't seem like I could setup the Data Refresh service to refresh my model more frequent than once a day. The Data Refresh configuration page looks like this:
Which doesn't show an option for anything more frequent than daily.
I have also tried to refresh the model's database directly on the Tabular SSAS instance (which SharePoint is using to store PowerPivot models) via SSIS or XMLA, but I get an error saying the tabular model is in "ReadOnly" mode, which I could potentially bypass (by detaching and re-attaching the model), but thats starting to sound abit too hacky.
Is there any way I could refresh my SharePoint uploaded PowerPivot model more than once daily?

I have a situation where I have created a report using Power Pivot data Model Manage and linked to a SQL View using external sources from SQL Server. Once the View was linked from SQL server, I created the report in Power View from Inserted  --> Power View.  Since the business user requested the same data to be replicated in the excel worksheet in the form of excel, I created a version of excel report by selecting Data tab--> From other sources-->SQL Server --> connected to View (Same view that I connected in Power Pivot Data model for Power View report).
Once I created all the reports in my local excel and proceeded to upload in Office 365 share point. I followed the below steps:
1. Create a data source using the admin power bi websiteÂ
 using the connection string..Excel sheet Data tab --> Properties --> Connection String
2. Once the Data Source was created, Uploaded the excel report to the Power BI website.
3. Scheduled for the daily refresh updates.
Expected result:Since the connection set up was all successful and no issues with the refresh schedules, I was expecting to see my reports in both Worksheet reports in excel version and Power View reports to be refreshed on a daily basis. And daily transactions to appear on the reports on both Power view and excel worksheet reports.
Actual Result:I now only see the data refreshed in Power view reports and not the reports linked through Data--> sql server--> view ( i.e., excel worksheet reports). What surprises to me eve more is my refresh schedule was always successful. I do not see the refresh failed message.Â
I wanted both the power view and excel worksheet reports to get refreshed on a daily basis.

I have opened an account in [URL] and taken the 60 days trial for power bi pro. I've developed power pivot and generated power views in share point 2013. But, I'm new to Power BI desktop. I have created a report in power BI desktop and published to [URL]. Also, I have uploaded an excel file directly to [URL] and created the report from the workspace available there itself and pinned the report to dashboard also. Everything is fine till this. But, I need to refresh the file which I have uploaded. I have some dummy data in excel sheet.
ZipCode State ZipName
2345 AA AA
456 BB BB
6787 CC CC
 This has been created as a table and then added to data model. So, power pivot has been created for the same. Then I have uploaded this file to [URL] site. But, I'm getting an error message while trying to schedule refresh for the same.
"You cannot schedule refresh for this dataset because it does not contain data model connections. You cannot schedule refresh on worksheet connections or linked tables. To schedule refresh the data must be loaded into the data model."
How can I create a data model connection? How can I schedule refresh for an excel file like this?

I am using excel 2010 and SQL server as a data source. When I create a report with the User name "demo_user" which has db_writer access, and mail it to the colleague , he could not refresh the data with the "demo_user" credentials and apparently its throwing user name or password invalid. The one who created only could be able to refresh the data.
What should I do If other people want to refresh the data? How could I fix this issue? We are using SQL server 2012 and excel 2010 powerpivot.Â

When we deploy any PowerPivot Data Model to SharePoint 2013, we get the following options-
1. Create New PowerPivot Report
2. Create New PowerView Report
3. Schedule Data Refresh
These options work fine as long as we deploy a normal Excel Data Model file like .xlsx . However, When I deploy Data Model with some VBA code (Macros, VB functions) contained within it i.e. Macro Enabled file - .xlsm,the above options didn't work. I got following error while creating a New PowerView report as It says that your Excel has unsupported features like Macro function.Can't we create a new PowerPivot/PowerView report with Macro Enabled Data Model? Is this not supported in SharePoint 2013?

I have powerpivot which is pulling data from sharepoint list.
When I add new row to the list, on refresh the new row shows 1,0,.... instead of KPI icons(green yellow)
I have to open the excel, deselct and select one measure then it starts reflecting.
The KPI should get refreshed automatically, right?

I am having issues where the PowerPivot Field List does not refresh once I add a new table/field then select Refresh All under Data. I have to refresh every single PowerPivot Field List so they are all refreshed. ("PowerPivot data was modified" message). This doesn't happen at first but once the model is built on it tends to happen.I'm on Excel 2010 PowerPivot 2012 SP2 32bit. I have Windows 7 64bit and I'm wondering if the bitness inconsistency is an issue.

Please help.

I have a pivot table that connects to our data warehouse via a PowerPivot connection. Â The data contains a bunch of comment fields that are each between 250 and 500 characters. Â I've set the columns in this pivot table to have the 'Wrap Text' set to true so that the user experience is better, and they can view these comment fields more clearly.
However, whenever I refresh the data, the text wrapping un-sets itself. Â Interestingly, the 'Wrap Text' setting is still enabled, but I have to go and click it, then click it again to actually wrap the text. Â This is very burdensome on the user, and degrading the experience.
Any way to make this text wrapping stick so that I don't have to re-set it every time I refresh the data?

I have a PowerPivot table setup based of a SQL Server stored procedure. I am kind of surprise that when I click the Refresh button on the PivotTable Tools ribbon bar above the report the report does not refresh. Â I have to open the PowerPivot window, click refresh and then go back to the worksheet with the PivotTable and click Refresh. Â Is that by design? Â It seems like the Refresh on the worksheet just gets the existing data from the table.

I've encountered an issue where the ALLSELECTED function works fine unless I use a date hierarchy, i.e. year, quarter, month, date, for the rows in a pivot and then use a year slicer, select one or more years individually, and the clear the filter on the slicer. The year(s) that I selected in the slicer remain at 100% in the pivot instead of returning to the subtotals for the unfiltered slicer.
This only occurs when I use a calendar hierarchy for rows and a date field for the slicer, either from the hierarchy or a regular date field.Below are images of the normal behavior and then the result after following the steps above. Can't figure out why the calendar hierarchy is causing the issue since it works for all other time functions, etc., and follows best practices such as contiguous dates, etc.Â

I setup PowerPivot (PP) for SharePoint and activate it on few site collections in production environment; I upload a PP workbooks in a library, manage the data refresh schedules, run the data refresh for an external SQL databases, etc. Everything works fine for several days. One day we decide the move one of the site collections (X) from its current content database to its own (new) content db. The way we did it is that we took the site collection backup in production, restored it in test environment (in its own content db; we deleted the old site collection in test first before restoring), checked everything including PP data refreshes etc.; all worked fine.Then we did the same thing in production - we deleted the old site collection X, restored the site collection from the same backup file that we used in test environment, everything works fine EXCEPT the PowerPivot refreshes!! :-(
I am getting these errors: When I click on the workbook, it gives this error "An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh: PowerPivot Data".When I click OK on error dialogbox, it opens the workbook fine but no slicers/refreshes work now. When I go back to the library and click on "Manage PowerPivot Data Refresh" to open the refresh history/schedule page, it gives this generic but scary error: "An unexpected error has occurred. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation." ULSViewer or Event viewer is not showing anything related to this error!Strange thing is that PP refresh works fine in Test environment, as well as on other site collections in production that we didn't touch (which tells me there is nothing wrong with my PP configuration). Did the backup/restore in prd cause anything? Did moving it in its own contentdb cause anything? (But then why it works in test environment?) Is there anything wrong with site collection PP feature.

Hi, I have an OLAP data source that includes a date field "DateLongName" (has format e.g. May 08, 2008) , on which I checked the box when setting up the data set to indicate it is a parameter. This of course creates the attendant MDX data set that can be used for available values so that the user can pick from the various dates to choose the date they want to filter data on. So far so good.
Also in this report I have a relational data source that populates a chart that I would like to update when the user chooses the date from the above OLAP data source.
My thoughts were to create another MDX data source (called DayConstraint) like
SELECT {} ON COLUMNS, (STRTOMEMBER(@DimDateDateLongName,CONSTRAINED)) ON ROWS FROM [DailySalesCube]
Then, for my relational source, it would just be Select * from table where date=@DayConstraint
Nice in theory, but the DayConstraint variable doesn't change when the user changes the value in the olap picklist. So, the "DateLongName" has a default of previous day, so if it was May 8th, both the "DateLongName" and "DayConstraint" show May 7th. But, when you pick a different date (from the available values when the report has ran), say May 6th, the "DateLongName" changes, but the "DayConstraint" doesn't update, so of course my relational data set doesn't update.
If I pull in the DayConstraint data into a text box to look at the value (=First(Fields!Date_Long_Name.Value, "DayConstraint")), the data set is updating correctly when one changes the values in the OLAP pick list. Wish there was some way in my relational query to do something like Select * from table where date=Fields!Date_Long_Name.Value, "DayConstraint", but can't see anyway to make this work.
I am starting to think you can't use cascading parameters like this - can anyone confirm this, and if I am trying to do the impossible, any ideas on how this could be done in another fashion? Have been beating my head against the desk for a couple days on this, so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.
Ryan

I have created a simple package that uses a sql command to pull data from an oracle database and inserts the data into a sql 2005 table. Some of the data fields that i am pulling from contain two digits after the decimal point, however this data is lost when it gets into sql. I have even tried putting the data into a flat file, and still the data is lost.
In the package I have a ole db source connection which is the oracle database and when i do the preview i see all the data I need. I am very confused and tried a number of things to get the data into sql, but none work. Any ideas would be very helpful.
thanks

I am sending a GUID to a form via the query string. If it exists I use helper functions to load most of the form text boxes. However, if it does not then a blank form is presented and the GUID is stored in a hidden field.
Regardless, I use this hidden field to populate a grid that is attached to a sqldatasource.
If I then add new datarows to the backend database programmatically, I cannot 'requery' the datasource to include those row upon a postback. I cannot seem to find a simple way to force the sqldatasource to rerun the query.
Can anyone help.
