olappivottableextensions / olappivottableextensions Goto Github PK

Hi everybody,

recentrly after years of use I started having issues.
Currently using version 0.9.0 on Excel 2016 Pro 64 bit
When I wan't to start "Disable Auto Refresh" I am getting a message
"First open Power Pivot window. If you continue to get this message, restart Excel and try again".

Ofcourse, I opened powerpivot and did everything right, but still stuck.
Also, I reinstalled the Olap as well as Office, but still the same.
Does anyone has an idea what could be the issue.
Running of large workbooks, and every change in Powerpivot takes eternity now.
Please HELP !!

Hi
has anyone you know of managed to install the add-in using SCCM.
We are using Excel 2016 64bit and it add the files to the local pc but does not register in Excel. If we then double click on the Vsto file we get the following error

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the add in a few times with no luck

We are setup where employees have work computers on Domain A, and contractors have their work computers on Domain B, but also have accounts on Domain A. (let's say they login to their machine with Domain B\username, and on Domain A they have user.name

When employees access SSAS through Excel, they use the integrated security method to connect to our Cubes, and when using the OlapPivotTableExtensions, everything works great.
For contractors, since their logged into their company's Domain B\username, when connecting to our SSAS server, they can't use integrated authentication, so they specify their Domain A\user.name along with password.
Using this method of authentication works when browsing the cubes, however when using OlapPivotTableExtensions, they get an error message
"A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

(apologies for typos, they sent a screenshot and i tried to type it up as best as i could)

I tried looking at the code for MainForm.cs on line 878 and it failed at conncube.open() and I wasn't certain what caused the issue. However a few lines above there was a mention of "removing blank user ids and password" which, when looking at the connection string in the error, didn't have the User ID= line in it.
the connection string in Excel lists it as Provider=MSOLAP.8;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=Domain A\user.name;Initial Catalog=..etc..

                    //remove blank user IDs and passwords from connection string which resolve an issue with AAS connections failing if either is blank

                    sConnectionString = sConnectionString.Replace(";User ID=;", ";");
                    sConnectionString = sConnectionString.Replace(";User Id=\"\"", "");

                    sConnectionString = sConnectionString.Replace(";Uid=\"\"", "");
                    sConnectionString = sConnectionString.Replace(";Uid=;", ";");
                    sConnectionString = sConnectionString.Replace(";uid=\"\"", "");

Hello,

for some of our users on Windows 10 with Office 365 ProPlus (Version 1904 or older, 32-Bit) we have a delay ranging from 2 to 4 minutes when the OLAP PivotTable Extensions are loaded (either during Excel startup or when manually activating the addin).

We tried both OLAP PivotTable Extensions versions 0.9.0 and 0.9.5, reinstalling the addin and updating office but couldn't solve the problem. Current Workaround is to only manually enable the addin if it is needed to avoid the delay when starting an Excel instance.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions in how to track this problem down?

Thank you in advance,
cbracht

I get error messages when trying to use filter list feature when using extension on AAS...

I DO have latest version installed!

The documentation says v0.9.5 supports Excel 2016 but when I try to install I see this error

How can I resolve this error?

Thanks

Hi,

The "Show Current Filters" and "Filter Pivot Table" buttons are not working when used with an Azure tabular model. There is no error message - just nothing.

See attached.

Getting the following error on Excel 2013, 64bit, Windows7 startup and then the add-in does not display on right click.

There are many organisations are moving to MacOS.,

There is no add in available for excel on Mac which does not help the Mac users.

I have downloaded the most recent add-in. It shows that it is installed, but will not show up in the list of add-ins. I've tried all the steps in the Installation Troubleshooter to no avail. I'm using Office 365 Excel....32 bit. I do not have any other add-ins operating with the exception of the Power Pivot add-in.

One of our users is getting the attached error. He is running Excel 2013 and we get the same error both against the olap and tabular cubes. Tried a uninstall/reinstall but it did not help.

Thanks, for any help you can provide.

PC has recently been rebuilt to a Win 10 1703 image. I am running Excel 2010 version 14.0.7190.5000 (32 bit). OLAP installs without issue, but when I try to use the functionality (typically filtering), am getting the following error message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Hello Team,

OLAP Pivot Table Extension works fine with Azure Analysis Service when we use below connection string.
We use this connection in office or with VPN connection at home.

Provider=MSOLAP.8;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=CUBE;Data Source=asazure://westeurope.asazure.windows.net/INSTNACE;MDX Compatibility=1;Safety Options=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error;Update Isolation Level=2

Same report without VPN connection when we work from home returns below error message when we try to filter the data.
Screenshot attached. Could you please advise ?

Connection string without VPN:

Provider=MSOLAP.8;Persist Security Info=True;User ID="";Initial Catalog=CUBE;Data Source=asazure://westeurope.asazure.windows.net/NISTANCE;MDX Compatibility=1;Safety Options=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error;Update Isolation Level=2

Hello,

currently we moved to Office 365 ProPlus (Version 1708) and if we try to filter by using the PivotTable Extensions the following error is thrown:

After further analysis the connection string is responsible. We use the property "Application Name" for adding a name to the connection for use in e.g. SQL Profiler. In Office 365 ProPlus an additional property "App" is automatically generated and can't be removed from the connection string.

Connection string:
Provider=MSOLAP.8;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=Vertrieb_Cube;Data Source=SQLSSAS\ServerName;MDX Compatibility=1;Safety Options=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error;Application Name=Excel MS BI Vertrieb und Marketing DE;App=Excel MS BI Vertrieb und Marketing DE;Update Isolation Level=2

The PivotTable Extensions version used is 0.9.0.0 (32-bit).

Thank you in advance,
cbracht

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this - I found and downloaded version 0.9 and installed on Windows 7 for 64-bit Excel 2013. I then get the following error message on when starting Excel and have to uninstall the addin to remedy. It would be awesome if I can stop PowerPivot from recalculating everything every time I make a small change... thanks for developing this tool!

PivotTable Extension error when trying to filter Pivot table. Extension was working correctly in Excel 2016 Version 1609, auto-updated yesterday to 1705. I've tried 'Repair' install on the PivotTableExtension V0.9.0, and re-registered Extension in Excel, no change. x64bit. Pivot Table is connected to Excel Power Pivot data model

Hello,

I am trying to use the extensions with Azure AS and get the attached error message. Excel itself is able to connect and works correctly but the OLAP extensions throws the error in both the search and filter list tabs. I tried playing with the connection string but can't get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

-Chris

I can't filter using a Power Bi Dataset connection. Not sure if there is a solution.

Dear Greg,

Microsoft has announced the following some time ago:

"Analysis Services client libraries version 19.12.3.0 or higher offers important security enhancements, so any applications that are still using earlier versions of the Analysis Services client libraries will not be supported after 30 June 2021."

Since the client libraries are necessary to change, it is not possible to use OlapPivotTableExtensions with Azure Analysis Services backend.

Are you planning to upgrade your solution with the newest ADOMD libraries so that the solution can be used?

Thank you very much for your response in advance,
Laszlo Meszaros

Hi

I'm trying to use your addin with an Excel 2007 file whioch has a connection to an Ola server.

I installed version 0.8.4.0. When I choose "show current filters" I get an exception.

The same file with Office 2013 works fine.

How can I debug such problem.

I can't upgrade to 2013

The problem appears in Windows 7 , 8.1 and 10 with Office 2007

Thanks

I installed
https://olappivottableextensions.github.io/

but it is not showing as mentioned. Using excel 2016 and not showing i addin as well.

Thanks,
George

Not able to use the Filter List on attributes in our Perspectives when it did work in the pass. It is working fine when looking at the Cube.

Excel Version: Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.14326.20782) 64-bit

Below are the error messages:

Good evening,
we have installed Olap extension on office 365.
from the end of July the extension returns the error described in the title.
I am attaching images

This function worked well in the past. Now it shows empty cells
Tested with Office 365 (Excel),
OLAP PivotTable Extensions v0.9.7.0 (64-bit)

I have a workbook with a lot of pivot tables (and too many calculated columns) and thought this would help out a lot. When trying to disable the auto refresh on the pivot table it tells me to open the Power Pivot window first or to restart Excel if that doesn't work. I have tried with the Power Pivot window open and closed and neither option works. I have restarted Excel numerous times (waited 20 minutes for the data to load back into memory when opening Power Pivot) yet I get the same error. I'm using OLAP 0.9.0 and Excel 2016 (16.0.10228.20080) 64-bit.

Hello,

I have OLAP table (connected to on-premise SSAS tabular), I want to filter list of customer accounts for selected 9 values. When I enter these values into Filter List window, I get the following error:

Filtering by highlighting multiple rows in pivot table and selecting Filter - Keep Only Selected Items from context menu works as expected.

Am I doing something wrong?

This is an incredible extension, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to work with Power BI Premium datasets, which are exposed through the same XMLA protocol as Analysis Services Tabular. I've used this extension against Tabular data sources before, but never against a Power BI dataset (until now). I'm receiving a few different errors, but they appear to mostly revolve around authentication. I received one error that said "The integrated security 'ClaimsToken' is not supported for native connections." Perhaps the ADOMD.NET package needs updated for this support (since Power BI Premium XMLA is a rather new implementation)? I'm happy to help test and work towards a solution!

Hello,
I've installed the 0.9.0 but my Excel 2016 doesn't show it anywhere (looked in Disabled Add-ins as well)
Please help
Thank

Dear developers,

I want to report a bug regarding the installation inside one of our organisations. The installation is not possible when a normal user is trying to install the extension having no admin rights, which is totally okay.

When an admin is doing the installation for the user in need of the extension, the GUID in the registry is set to the admin user. Therefore the normal user cannot use the extension because it is mapped to the admin that installed it for him.

Since this is a very urgent problem for us, we would like to request a fix in this matter and create the registry entries with the actual user GUID so that he is able to use the extension.

Thank you very much

Best regards,
Franjo

Hello,

is it possible to register the addin without the installer and VSTO?
I have manually stored the entry for the addin in the registry and registered the dll using regasm. Nevertheless, there is always the message that the addin can not be loaded because an error occurs at runtime.

If you install it via VSTO it works. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Sincerely

The Filter List feature was working fine after the previous update, however recently it stopped working again with the following error.
It says something about the login popup being cancelled but I selected my account as I always have and never cancelled it.

Hi, I hope someone can answer this soon. I need this for my work :(
I went to the MDX tab and saw the query.
But when I right-click, I didn't see the option to "Copy" the query.
How can I copy the query?
Thanks.

I get OLAP Extension error while trying to use this extension in AtScale cube. Can you please see if this can be fixed.. See huge potential

Hi,

while using the OlapPivotTableExtension to filter with a list, the result seems limited to 279 lines.
From the sorted list of 279 lines, when I had manualy items, they are not taken into account and the overall number of filterd lines remains 279

Could you help me ?

Hi. I was wondering if they are plans for OLAPPivotTable Extensions to be extended to work on tabular models? It is great little product and we find it very useful (with Analysis cubes).

Thanks
Sunil
