We generate reports thru Excel Pivot table. The data is coming from sales
cube. Let?s assume that there are 2 products A and B. The user wants to
filter for each product and view ?stock in hand? and ?total sales? for
particular month (as two columns).
From the Pivot table filtering, when we choose product A and month ?Jan?,
it is showing values for ?stock in hand? and ?total sales? columns for that
month.
But when we choose product B and month ?Jan?, it is only showing ?stock in
hand? value and the ?total sales? column was suppressed/unseen. We know
that there is no sales transaction for ?Jan? month. But we still want to
show the column title even if there are no records in the database / cube.
I am not using any scripting, this pivot table was generated just thru
Pivot table wizard.
Is it possible to generate automatic refresh of excel 2013 table which displays some table of a power pivot model on file open?? I dont want to use pivottable (which supports this ...)
I have several pivot tables in Excel that access data to a SQL 2000. We install SQL 2005, we change the ODBC from the 2000 server to the 2005 server. Now when we try to run the pivot tables I've got the following message:
"User 'public' does not have permission to run DBCC TRACEON"
Im using Sql server 2000&MS Excel 2003. i've recently moved to Sql server,i was using MS Access.
i've created an odbc connectivity and a View . i've created pivot tables in excel. my intension was once i upload the data into sql server and when i refresh the view/excel pivot, the pivot table should updated automatically with the newly entered data( i used to do the same process in Access).
pls advise me how to update the Excel pivot table.
The excel pivot table is very powerful for the user, with dragging and dropping fields at will on the web page, but I can only get it work when run from the web server directly. The data is in SS2000 300,000 rows, get external data in Excel, then publish pivot table as HTM with interactivity. It seems to look for c:myodbc.dsn in the C: drive of the pc the user is on rather than the server, and I cannot use IP Addressing to relate to the dsn file. any ideas ?
I know that this is an Excel question, but I guess it is much more likely that an SQL person using dynamic pivot tables had stepped on this, rather than any advanced Excel user.
I am exporting a dynamic pivot table to Excel through a Stored Procedure. If the Stored Procedure that executes the dynamic pivot table returns 7 columns in one run, and 4 columns in the following update, then I have 3 orphaned columns that are still displayed in the spreadsheet. There isn't any content related to them, but the empty columns with their headers are bothering enough.
I've been trying to play with the data connection properties, but nothing deletes unused columns from former data executions.
I have set up a cube running under MSSQL Server 2000 Analysis services and have created reports in Excel 2002 using pivot tables and linking into the cube as an external data source.
The pivottable works fine and I can slice / dice as usual, the only thing that doesnt work is the drill through into AS. I receive and error message saying "Cannot show detail data for that selection...".
Now I know that the drill through works, as when I create a report using the Analsyis Services Excel Add Inthe drill through works fine, its just how do I get it working using the pivot tables ?
fyi - the reason I dont want to use the Analsyis Services Excel Add In for all the reports is because I have to deploy this to XX number of users, who wont have admin rights on their machines etc etc....
Is there any VB that I could use to perform this drill through and return the results.....or easier ??
have just implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV. and I'm trying to learn how to use this Excellent tool powerpivot add on, But when I'm trying to connect it to any SQL table that support Dynamics NAV I have an error message while downloading the table :"do not have enough memory or I should use Excel 64 bits instead 32 bits".when I check CPU memory Utilization we are just using less tha 20%.

I have a very small SSAS database with around 35 Mb. I opened it on Excel 32 bits and started dragging fields to a pivot table and it started failing with memory errors. The behavior on the SSAS server was that memory started growing very fast until 8 GB (vm memory total) and then the error is reported in excel.
What might be the issue in such a small database? I would understand in a big database, but not on this one.
I am connecting to SSAS cube from Excel and I have date dimension with 4 fields (I have others but I don't use it for this case). I created 4 fields in order to test all possible scenarios that I could think of:
DateKey:   - Type: System.Integer   - Value: yyyyMMdd Date:   - Type: System.DateTime DateStr0:   - Type: System.String   - Value: dd/MM/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)   - Example: 01/11/2015  DateStr1:   - Type: System.String   - Value: %d/%M/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)   - Example: 1/11/2015 Â
Filtering on date is working fine:
Initially, in excel, filtering on date was not working. But after changing dimensional type to time, and setting  DataType to Date, as mentioned in [URL] filter is working fine as you can see in the picture.Grouping on date is not working:
I have hierarchy in my Date dimension and I can group based on hierarchy, no problem. But user is used to pre-build grouping function of excel, and he wants to use that. Pre-build functions of Excel, Group and ungroup seems to be available as you can see in following picture:
But when user clicks 'Group', excel groups it as if it is a string, and that is the problem. User wants to group using pre-build grouping function available in Pivot table. I also find out that Power Pivot Table does not support this excel grouping functionality. And if I understood well, this pre-build grouping functionality of excel, needs to do calculation at run time, and that is not viable solution if you have millions of rows. So Power pivot table does not support pre-build grouping functionality of excel and hence we need to use dimension hierarchy to do the grouping. But I am not using Power Pivot table, I am using simple Pivot Table. So I expect grouping functionality to be working fine. Then I tried to do simple test. I created a simple data source in excel itself. And use it as source of my Pivot table. Then grouping is working fine. The only difference that I can see is (When double click the Measure value in Excel),For date values of my simple test, excel consider them as 'Date'.
For date values of my data coming from cube, excel consider them as 'General'
  2.1. But value here is same as it was in simple test.
  2.2. 'Date Filter' works just fine.
  2.3. If I just select this cell and unselect it, then excel change type to 'Date' though for that cell.Â
  2.4. I have created 4 different types of fields in my date dimension thinking that values of attribute of my dimension might be the problem, but excel consider 'General' for all of them.
  2.5 This value (that can be seen when double clicking on measure) comes from 'Name Column' of the attribute. And the DataType defined is WChar. And I thought that might be the reason of issue. And I changed it to 'Date'. But SSAS does not allow it to change to 'Date' giving error : The 'Date' data type is not allowed for the 'NameColumn' property; 'WChar' should be used.
So, I don't know, what is the puzzle piece that I am missing.
1. Date filter works, group does not work
2. Excel consider it as 'General' string.
3. SSAS does not allow to change 'NameColumn' to Date.
Can I force the following measure to be visible for all rows in a pivot table?
Sales Special Visibility:=IF( Â Â HASONEVALUE(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) Â Â ;IF( Â Â Â Â VALUES(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) = "Sales" Â Â Â Â ;CALCULATE([Sales];ALL(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany])) Â Â Â Â ;[Sales] Â Â ) Â Â ;BLANK() )
FYI, I also have other measures as well in the pivot table that I don't want to affect.
I have a simple pivot table (screenshot below) that has two variables on it: one for entry year and another for 6 month time intervals. I have very simple DAX functions that count rows to determine the population N (denominator), the number of records in the time intervals (numerator) and the simple percent of those two numbers.
The problem that I am having is that the function for the population N is not overriding the time interval on the pivot table when I use an ALL function to do so. I use ALL in other very simple pivot tables to do the same thing and it works fine.
The formula for all three are below, but the one that is the issue is the population N formula. Why ALL would not work, any other way to override the time period variable on the pivot table.
Population N (denominator): =CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist),ALL(analyticJudConsist[CurrentTimeInCare1])) Records in time interval (numerator): =COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist) Percent: =[countrows]/[denominatorCare]
How can I apply "Min" formula under a "new measure" (calculated field) within a pivot table under Power pivot 2010?Can see that neither does it allow me to apply "min" formula directly "formula box" nor could find any other option.Intent formula: "=Min(1,sum(a:b))" this isn't allowed so all I can do is "=sum(a:b)".
I have simple pivot table (below screenshot with info redacted) that displays a population number ("N" below), this is the denominator, a cumulative numerator number (below "#") and a simple cumulative percent that just divides the numerator by the denominator. It cumulates from top to bottom. The numerator and percent are cumulative using the below functions. There are two problems with the numerator and percent:
1. When there is not a number for the numerator, there is no value displayed for both the numerator and the percent..There should be a zero displayed for both values. 2. When there has been a prior number for the numerator and percent (for a prior month interval) but there is no number for the numerator in the current month interval, the prior month number and percent are not displayed in the current month interval--see the 3rd yellow line, this should display "3" and "16.7%" from the second yellow line.Here is the formula for the numerator:
=CALCULATE(count(s1Perm1[entity_id]),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))) Here is the formula for the percent: =(CALCULATE(countrows(s1Perm1),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))))/(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(s1Perm1),ALL(s1Perm1[Exit],s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
I have data in my Powerpivot window which was generated by a sql query. This data includes a field named 'Cost' and every row shows a value for 'Cost' greater than zero. The problem is that when I display this data in the pivot table all entries for Cost display as $0. At first I thought that maybe Cost was set to a bogus data type (such as 'text) but it is set to ''Decimal Number' so that's not the problem.Â
What is happening and how do I fix it so that my pivot table reflects the values for 'Cost'?
I have a data table that contains budget and actual data by month. Â I use the data to create a pivot that shows actual results next to budgeted results. Â I need a column that shows that variance between those columns. Â I think my issue is that the "Type" field contains actual and Budget. Â I sum on "Type". Â I can't seem to create a sum since those items are in the same field or am I missing something?
How to get a list of values to actually display in correct order in either a slicer or when on an axis on a pivot table?
I currently have the below list and have tried to add a preceding numeric (ex. "1. <=0") or preceding blank space, neither of which is visually great. Is there another way?
I am using excel 2010 and creating pivot table from Power Pivot. I created a pivot table with department slicers. All is good, the problem I am having is whilst in an unfiltered position (ALL) of the slicers (departments) I get 200 pages, now when I click on a given department with say 10 pages, I still get the same 200 pages with the first 10 pages showing the data from the clicked department and 190 blank pages.
All I want is to get a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) of what is on the screen as my print, but I am getting extra blank pages right after the data. Â How do I resolve this.
Below are the steps I go thru to printÂ
1. Select slicers in unfiltered position (ALL) 2. Select entire pivot table 3. Select Page layout and select print area. 4. Save 5. Click on Print Preview to preview the print 6. Click on a given department in the slicer and repeat item 5, but this gives me blank pages after the data.
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 cube with a Period Dimension, in which the hierarchy is as follows:
Year Quarter Month Day
Users access the data via a pivot table.
The problem is that whenever a new month comes in, the pivot table doesn't automatically display data regarding the new month. Can someone please help me here.
We are using MS Excel 2007 Pivot tables to access en SSAS 2005 Cube. Farly often when we reopen an excel spreadsheet with one or more pivot tables we get an error like this:
Excel found unreadable Content. Do you wish to repair
When we click yes the following log is shown: Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition1.xml part (PivotTable cache) Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition2.xml part (PivotTable cache) Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable1.xml part (PivotTable view) Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable2.xml part (PivotTable view) Removed Records: Workbook properties from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook) And all the pivot tables are converted to plain text. I have read about this in KB 929766 but this do not apply since KPIs are not used. The KB 943088 is more interesting but after upgrading all user with SP 1 the problem is still there, mostly when we open old excel-files that has been created without SP 1 but opened and saved once with SP 1. After that we are not able to open them at all, either with or without SP 1 installed. Is there some way to €œsave€? pivot tables from destruction? I can€™t ask the users to rebuild all there spreadsheets that have been created prior SP1. What will happen when there is a new SP for Excel? Rebuild all spreadsheets and pivot tables again?
We have a excel 2007 file with a Pivot Table in it. We would like to use the same as data source (But all the source fields as it comes for Pivot). The key issue is that the data to the pivot is from a connection and points to DB - but there is no access to DB. So the Excel is static to us with a PIVOT in it.
Is there a way to get all the data that is avaialble as a source for pivot.
Ex. The select query has co1,co2....co 11 from xxxxx whereas the PIVot HAS ONLY cO1, CO2 AS ROW, CO3,CO4 AS COL, CO5 AS VALUE AND CO6,CO7 AS FILTER AND OTHERS MISSED OUT IN PIVOT.
THe SSIS as such provide Excel 2007 access to Access OLE DB driver with Excel 12 setting in advanced tab. But not sure whether we can give the range (or) a way around ot get all the data as available in excel regardless of what is used only in the pivot.
We have build a powerpivotmodel that uses a couple of datasources. The user extracts on monthly base an excel file with 20 samples (randomly) from the model to check some aspects of the input. He can put Yes or No into a column if he agrees or not and fill in a remark field. Next this excel file is loaded back into the powerpivot model (in a nightly batch) and the Yes/No field and the remark field are added to the original data. If the user refreshes his excel sample file from the pivot, the remark and YN field will be filled with the values he added. So far so good. One moth later when he extracts the file for a new month a problem arises. Since the excel file only has data for the new month, when the PP-model is reloaded the data for the previous month will be lost. So we need some sort of incremental load for the excel file. Is that possible and is this the best way to handle this situation?
In an Excel workbook I'm building a report using a PowerPivot data model.
I've a Calendar filter. If I select an year from this filter I need to show in a cell the total number of working days, present in the Calendar table as a column.
is it possible to replicate this in SSRS I wonder??I have included the code of the fields used and a snapshot of some data, and also how the Pivot looks in Excel.
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?
One of my excel 2013 power pivot report was migrated from old server to new server after migration i changed the excel power pivot connection string to connect with new server but the workbook connections is still taking the old connection string of old server and there is no option of changing workbook connection string .
I am able to edit the powerpivot connection but workbook connections are not getting updated they are still taking old server connection string.
