Power Point :: Macro Enabled PowerPivot Data Model
Aug 31, 2015
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 work almost 1 month to try to fix this issue, but still failed.(In my test server, it's working). seem like I have 2 problem.
1. My SQL server analysis service(PowerPivot) service mode is "Multidimensional", in my test server, this is SharePoint mode.
2. After upload PowerPivot worksheet, I check the analysis service, No this sheet DB save in. in "Analysis Server Properties", I add "sp_admin" name that I use this name to install PowerPivot add-in.

I get this error when I open powerpivot documents in sharepoint.
"We cannot locate a server to load the workvbook Data Model."
after I've looked into the logs I came up with this:
Check Server Version (SQLSERVER2012POWERPIVOT): Fail (Expected: >=11.0.2800.0, Actual: 11.0.2100.60).
--> Check Deployment Mode (SQLSERVER2012POWERPIVOT): Pass.

how can I update my analysis server version that doesn't affect anything else?
should I install a CU on my SQL or upgrade it?

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've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?

I don't know if the question has been nailed down. Aside from deleting tables, can we delete the *content* of data within the tables. It doesn't seem crazy that, if you can pull in data from a feed then you should be able to remove the content out again (without also destroying the user's meta-data work ). Reasons for this include:
- Security (a user may not have rights to see *my* data and should go refresh their own)
- Size (workbook doesn't need to have GB's of irrelevant data saved to disk in a workbook if it was just useful during development phase to a pre-production data feed)
- Bad data (pre-production data feed is not good data)
- User-friendliness (data feed was refreshed 2 years ago and workbook was saved to file server. Users shouldn't be presented with irrelevant data, but should get empty pivot tables until they go do their refresh)
Obviously Excel internally knows how to clear out PowerPivot data, given the prompt shown here: [URL] ....
But how does a user initiate this on their own (corruption aside)?
Previous time this question was asked, without a real resolution: [URL] ....

I have an Excel 2013 file with lots of DAX connected to an Azure database. I'd like to reuse all that work by changing the data source for the PowerPivot model to a different database which is an exact copy (just empty) on the same server, but Excel won't let me. In PowerPivot I can change the database connection, the user ID and password as well as the connections name. When opening each table properties (inside PowerPivot model) the new connection is used and all old data is removed, but as soon as I refresh using Existing connections, both from PowerPivot or from the Excel Data tab, the old connection is used and old data is reloaded.
If I use Existing connections from inside PowerPivot, I can se that the new connection is highlighted and has the correct variable, but I think maybe that one is run first, then the old one is run afterwards (or something like that).
On the Excel Data tab, I can see that the old connection is the only one Excel itself seems to know about, but I cannot change anything there as it's read-only.
There must be a way to change this. Even with copy and paste it would take me days to recreate this Excel file from scratch and it would be a serious flaw and reduction of usability for PowerPivot.

I have created 60 queries and added them to my data model in Power Pivot/Excel 2016. I created some calculated fields for one of my queries but I would LOVE to know how to just copy these across all queries in the data model instead of having to create them in the data model for one query at a time. That will take forever.

I need to develop a language specific dwh, meaning that descriptions of products are available from a SAP system in multiple languages. English is the most important language and that is the standard. But, there are also requirements of countries that wants productdescriptions in their language.
Productnr Productdesc Language
1 product EN
1 produkt DE
One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).

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 website
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.
I wanted both the power view and excel worksheet reports to get refreshed on a daily basis.

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.

Is there some memory limit on the size of models that can be successfully created as when I try to generate a model on a specific database I get the horrible Windows exception error in Visual Studio and it restarts leaving me without a model.
I have .99Gb of Ram, but a colleague has 1.99Gb of Ram and he appears to be able to generate the model successfully.
I can create models against older versions of the database successfully.
Surely there must be a friendlier way of trapping for insufficient memory problems rather than virtually completing a model and then robbing me of the model????

how to combine measures and fields coming from an analytical model (tabular) along with some Excel calculations. Basically I want to provide users with a simple report (to be displayed in SharePoint Excel services) containing charts and slicers. The data comes from a tabular model, and most of the calculations are in the model as well.However there is some little tweaking that must be done. For example I might need additional calculated columns, but I don't feel the need to modify the tabular model for that. I was wondering if I could do this within Excel as well -- but without having to bring all the data through a pivot table, then manipulate it and then show it on the report. So to be clear I do not want any pivot tables lying around, even if on a hidden sheet.
I noticed that when selecting a pivot chart in Excel, at the ribbon menu under "PIVOTCHART TOOLS"/"ANALYSE" there is a group of buttons named "Calculations". One of them is named OLAP Tools.Is it fair to assume that these options will allow me to create new measures at the Excel side, without affecting my tabular model?

I am aware that TDE protects data at Rest and not during communication or data in motion (UNLESS you use Encrypted communication channels using SSL certs etc). Hence I am thinking of doing data export from a TDE encrypted database to a database on the instance where TDE is not enabled or supported. I believe it works and need to take care of relationships between tables.The target database is hosted on SQL 2012 standard edition on which TDE is not supported.

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
