Excel Web Access / PowerPivot / Macros

January 29, 2014, 11:06 am

I am dealing with a workbook that was uploaded to SharePoint 2013 and is viewable on a Excel Web Access part. This workbook if opened in excel contains sclicers, a macro code connected to a button and 6 tabs. The size of this workbook is 6.52 MB. If a user interacts with this workbook on their PC, the slicers change the data shown on different tabs - and the macro button also changes data if clicked.

However if this workbook is being accessed on the web app and a user clicks one of the sclicers the following error comes "An error occured while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again."

Also the macro button does not show in the Excel Web access

And if a user tries to refresh the data this error shows "An error occured while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkbookDataModel"

Any further direction and knowledge will be greatly appreciated.

I have came across this in research: -

Windows Authentication with Workbook Data Connections and Interactive Data Refresh

Excel Services sends the Analysis Services server a process command that instructs the server to impersonate a user account. To obtain system rights sufficient to perform the user impersonation-delegation process, the Analysis Services service account, requiresAct as part of the operating system privilege on the local server. The Analysis Services server also needs to be able to delegate the user's credentials to data sources. The query result is sent to Excel Services.

Typical user experience: When a customer selects “Refresh All Connections” in an Excel 2013 workbook that contains a PowerPivot model, they see an error message similar to the following:

  • External Data Refresh Failed: An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again. We are unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.

How to import Excel spreadsheet into SharePoint 2013 list? (not as an attachment)

How do you import an Excel spreadsheet into a SharePoint 2013 list? Is this functionality out of the box in SharePoint 2013?

 I have figured out how to import an Excel spreadsheet into a list as an attachment in SharePoint 2013, but not directly into the list.  Upon opening the list, I would like to see all the columns, rows, and data displayed.  I do not want to open an attachment to view the data in the actual spreadsheet.  I was able to do this in SharePoint 2010, but cannot do it in SharePoint 2013.

All of the questions in previous related topics are related to SharePoint 2010 and earlier versions, so they are not helpful.

I followed the instructions on the Technet article to get RBS installed on additional content databases but it doens't seem to work. The log file says that it has been successfully installed yet there are no RBS tables. Any ideas?
I am using SharePoint Server 2013 with the latest March PU. I am also using SQL Server 2012 SP1. The initial content database is working as expected.

Upgrading to SharePoint 2013 wth Sharegate

Anyone used Sharegate to migrate from 2010 to 2013?  

If so,  when coping a site/subsite I'm going throught the steps to migrate, but not everything copies over (ie. non-custom webparts are missing and large number of items don't get copied into the migrated list.....is this normal? 

In the steps to copy I do see where an item error requires an change or choice selection due to column adds or changes to existing fields, seems crazy to have to go through each item that doesn't match up.  Can this be excluded and just copy as is? 

Thank you

Creating a Master key in SharePoint 2013

Does anyone know of any restrictions on the passphrase used to create a master key ?

I am getting failures (Invalid data) when I try to create a master key when installing and configuring Sharepoint 2013.  (I am using AutoSPInstaller version 3.93)

The operating system being used is Windows 2012 updated to the November 2013 patch Tuesday and Sharepoint is 2013 with the April 2013 PU and the October 2013 CU.

Or could it be a missing GPO causing the issue ?

Or could it be a SQL 2012 permissions issue ?

Thanks

SharePoint 2013 Distributed cache - Newfeed does not load

Newsfeed page no longer displays section with newsfeed and search box. When page loads, it gives message "We're still collecting the latest news. You may see more if you try again a little later." On checking event logs on application server, every 5 minutes (which I assume is user profile related timerjob) it logs critical level error with message as "The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID 81f21715-cd87-4f11-8392-9561e5701751) threw an exception. More information is included below. Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Communications with the cache cluster has experienced a delay past the timeout value,please increase the RequestTimeout of the client.."

Upon validation of ULS logs, I have error listed below. Which indicates it could not communicate or distributed cache server is not responding.

Unexpected error occurred in method 'GetObject' , usage 'FeedCache' - Exception 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheException: ErrorCode<ERRCA0018>:SubStatus<ES0001>:The request timed out..

I have validated cluster health and it's up and running with both indicating status as "UP". Basically we have collocated cluster host on two WFE's (appfabric v1.1). It's SharePoint 2013 Enterprise edition we have two App server with one hosting user profile service.

Scheduled backup issues

SharePoint is installed on a Windows Server 2012.

I am running my backups using Task Scheduler.

My sp1 file looks like this:

Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy "Unrestricted" -Force

try

 {

 Backup-SPFarm -BackupMethod Full -Directory \\spse\SPBackups

 $emailFrom = "no-reply@test.net"

 $emailTo = "backup-admin@test.net"

 $subject = "The SharePoint Farm Backup was Successful"

 $body = "The SharePoint Farm Backup was Successful."

 $smtpServer = "xxx.xx.xx.xx"

 $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)

 $smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject, $body)

 }

Catch

 {

 $ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message

 $emailFrom = "no-reply@test.net"

 $emailTo = "backup-admin@test.com"

 $subject = "The SharePoint Farm Backup Job failed"

 $body = "The SharePoint Farm Backup Job failed and the reason is $ErrorMessage"

 $smtpServer = "xxx.xx.xx.xx"

 $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)

 $smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject, $body)

 }

I have couple of issues with this process:

  1.       If I run the task manually, its status always shows running even when the task is finished
  2.       Even spbackup.log contains errors, the code above still send a “successful” email

Sharepoint 2013 Install Error

Hello Folks,
I get the following error when installing Sharepoint 2013 (Full Version) on Windows 2012 R1, 
Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2008 R2, on various hardware VM or physical, and with SQL 
Server 2008, 2012 or the built-in stand-alone which I assume is SQL Express or something like that.
No matter what I try, I get the same error.  My system is a small one processor with 8GB of RAM.  
I've tried various safe boot configurations and tried to resolve common MSI errors but none 
seem to work.  When I get it working on my test machine I will be moving it to a full
VMware environment but it was just easier to test out at my desk at this point.
I get completely through the preinstall and almost completely through the install and it fails
and does a roll-back, at the same point every time.  
Please help!

Disaster Recovery by Transaction Log Shipping - Global Navigation : Not Found on Secondary Site

Hi

I have two sites (a master and a secondary) and I use transaction log shipping to replicate the content database from the master to the secondary).  All works well.  I amend a page and 15 mins later it appears on the secondary site.

However........

If I create a new page and the pages are in the global navigation, I get this error :-

"Global Navigation : Not found" where the Global Navigation should be.

on the Secondary site 15 mins after the page was created on the Primary.

I have checked the status of the Managed Metadata service on the Secondary site and it is there and started.

I have checked the pages library on the Secondary Site, and the new page is there.

I have checked the GUID of the Managed Metadata service and it is different on the Secondary site to that of the Primary Site.

I am using friendly URLs and Claims authentication on both sites.

I am using SharePoint 2013 on both sites with the October 2013 CU.

Anybody know why I am getting this error ?

Regards

SharePoint 2013 (O365) Name Resolving Issues

January 28, 2014, 4:39 pm

I am a global administrator for my O365 environment.  I am having issues with names resolving in SharePoint

I am trying to add people as term set managers in the managed metadata interface.  If I just type someone's name and hit save, then it works (although their name is converted into a long garbled string).  If I click the "Check Name" or select the user from the Address Book the Save operation does not work (it says that I need to complete a required field - the term store manager field).

Also, in workflows on lists, I am having a similar issue.  I am creating a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013. I am trying to have an email send to a DL.  When I manually type out the full URL (DLname@mydomain.com) or when I select the DL from the address book within the Email form in SharePoint designer, the email address resolves to a strange string/GUID.  It appears that the workflow is successfully sending an email to this GUID, but nobody who is a member of the DL receives the email.  If I select a user's name directly from the Address book (not a DL), that user does receive the email.

Thanks!

Exception with regards to SharePoint Workflow Services

Hi there,

Since today we suddenly get the following exception on our development farm:

Method 'get_IsClientValid' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation. 

We get this exception when we:

- Open up a site

- Open up Manage Service Applications from Central Administration

We don't get the exception when I open up the starting page of Central Administration.

Unfortunately we don't know what we have done that has resulted into this exception.

What is the root cause and is this easy to fix?

Authentication and mysites guidelines

January 29, 2014, 2:52 pm

I’m looking for advice of setup guidelines for a new SharePoint 2013 install. I’ve read various guides regarding individual features but I’m having trouble combing them into a working whole.

Our requirements are for an on premise install to support both internal and external access from a variety of devices and browsers. I want it to all be ssl and to have search, mysites, apps and Office Web Apps working. Our external DNS name is different to the internal one. There will be multiple site collections. Currently all users will be from active directory.

Given the requirement for ssl I have set it up as a single web application with host named site collections for the root site, search and mysite host with other sites to follow. I have assumed that since the certificate will need to be verified that all sites will have public fully qualified domain names (such as .com rather than .local). Local DNS has been set up to resolve the external names correctly within the network. Once live our external DNS will route to the internal server. A separate DNS zone has been setup to support SharePoint Apps and both currently use self signed wildcard certificates for testing. So far this works.

Issues

Lots of login prompts when accessing mysites, search, apps and other sites. I am aware that adjusting Internet Explorer local zones can get around this but there also needs to be a single sign on process for non-windows devices. Most of our external users are students so any fix involving them having to change anything on their client devices is unworkable.

Three questions

  1. Is the idea of placing everything on the default zone with fully qualified domain names the best approach to enable ssl?

  2. How exactly should the mysites be set up as I’ve read confusing information regarding them and host names site collections? It is suggested that they don’t work, or that they do work but there is no control over where they are stored.

  3. What is the suggested authentication setup to achieve this? TMG reverse proxying was proposed as an option until it was retired with a similar story for UAG. I don’t really mind if all users have to log on to a form but it will need to be single sign on between mysites, search, apps and different sites on the same server as well as Office web apps. Essentially a sign in process similar to the Office 365 login portal would do. I suspect ADFS plays a part in this but I’m not sure how.

Hi, In SharePoint 2013 whenever try to create new web application in Central Administration site then under Web Application it showing that new web application created but under “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\Port” folder is totally empty  means the neither web config file nor other folders creating.

For example if I am creating new web application “http://myworld :2345” then under  “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2345\” folder noting is coming it’s totally empty so now I am also not able to create new site collection.

One more thing after creating new Web Application if clicking on General Setting then below error is coming:

Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests.  To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb.

So to resolve the issue I ran below command:

$w = get-spwebapplication http://yourwebapplication
$w.HttpThrottleSettings
$w.Update()

Previously I was able to create Web Application successfully but now error is coming pleas guide me how to resolve the issue.

Hi,

I'm trying to synch SharePoint 2013 calendars with Outlook 2010. If I require a certain view from SharePoint e.g. [Me] as a Project Manager to be synched to Outlook, can you restrict it so only this data is pulled through?

I've tried and it currently pulls through all the calendar appointments on SharePoint through to Outlook. I only require a certain view of appointments, and dont want this information to be public to the rest of my organisation.

Many thanks

list all subsites from a certain site

Hi all,

I've been trying to get this to work but only partial success.
Thing is I created a page in a site. On that page I created a 'Content Search'-WP and it works in the test-area.
When I save the query and reload the page, nothing happens.

When I create a 'Search Results'-WP with the exact same query it gives me a the desired result. Also when I save the query and reload the page.

Thing is that when I add subsites, none of them listed by the query. Only the first one that I created.
All sites are created using a custom template. All sites are on the same folderlevel, the TrimDuplicates workaround didn't fix it...

We use the SharePoint online for Education subscription if you need to know.

Suggestions are welcome and thanx in advance.

Stijn
