I export an Excel file from SSRS to a particular folder by running the SSRS job created by the SSRS subscription from within SSIS. The file is exported and then is sent by email to a user but the problem is that you can't preview the Excel file from within any email. I've tried a couple of different files created the same way and a couple of different email services to test, and it never allows previewing the file. The file is actually small, so it isn't the size.
The file is attached but there is no preview
I'm hoping someone might be able to provide a solution to this. Let me know if you have any questions. Oh, I'm running on Windows Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2017, and the most recent updates of SSRS and SSIS. I hope that helps.
Thanks!
as title says I am trying to read the Excel file placed on online SharePoint using the OData component in SSIS.
I am trying to make an SSIS package that will update my database in sql server with the data from that Excel file. I managed to do that when my file is placed locally.
I also managed to see my file using by adding /_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ inside target URI, i get an Share Point list where one of the components is my excel file, but I can't open it that way.
Also I need to use credentials to access the SharePoint.
I would be thankfull for any help :D
Acceptable solution would be to download that file first, but I haven't managed to do that either.
I'm trying to run a PowerQuery on a work-related Google Sheet (that I can't share here) so that the data appears in Excel and refreshes when I need it to.
I have published the Google sheet to the web and gotten the link (in web format, not Excel, but this is failing no matter which file format I publish in).
I then go to Data->From Web in Excel and I paste the link to the Google Doc get this:
Query Preview
As you can see, the data isn't appearing. It should be a table with a bunch of data.
Can someone help me fix this?
When using Google's File / Publish to the web pop-up, change the 2nd setting from "Web page" to "Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)". It then builds a link that works without modification in Power Query.
FYI the best in-depth discussion on this topic is on this thread:
http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/How-to-connect-google-sheet-to-Power-BI/m-p/205058#M11276
BTW if you have published your Google sheet to the web, then there shouldn't be any obstacle to sharing it here - it's already visible to anyone.
I have uploaded an excel workbook we constantly update to SharePoint for coworkers to view remotely as it has information they need. Would I have to delete and replace the workbook every time we make a change or is there a way that the workbook in SharePoint can automatically update with changes we make to the original which is on a Y drive? Thank you for any assistance.
When using SharePoint I find that there's an option to view the files in a document library using Windows Explorer. When you do that you can get the path out of the address bar and use that to update the file instead of the 'Y' drive. Benefit being you could also turn on version history in SharePoint then whenever anyone uploads a new version you can go to the past versions through SharePoint.
If your users don't all have access to SharePoint you could drag and drop from the Y drive to the address from the 'View in Windows Explorer' link or even automate it by writing a DOS batch job using the COPY command to copy the file over. Then you can use windows task scheduler to run the .BAT file however often you want.
Hope that helps!
We want to be able to publish Excel 2013 workbooks containing Power View reports into SharePoint 2013 and see them via Excel Services application.
Currently instead of the actual report we see the default Power View error page without any error message or log entry.
Here is some additional information:
1. The rest of the workbook (regular excel and powerpivot sheets) is rendered correctly.
2. Power View reports created inside SharePoint document libraries (RDLX reports) are rendered correctly.
3. PowerPivot and Power View are reconfigured and veryfied according to official step-by-step guides.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what we might miss or done wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I did a lot of debugging and could finally find a related error message. It's a NullReferenceException in Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPAddin.ReportGallery.SnapshotHandler.RegisterGlobalExtensionHandlers() method. This exception is thrown only once after application pool reset and when I upload an XLSX workbook to a document library.
I checked the method code in .NET Reflector and seems I've found the section where the exception is being thrown.
CustomCaptureSection customCaptureSection = (CustomCaptureSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("ReportGalleryCustomCapture");
SnapshotHandler.MaxSnapshotsCount = customCaptureSection.MaxSnapshotsCount;
SnapshotHandler.SnapshotCaptureTimeoutS = (long)((int)customCaptureSection.SnapshotCaptureTimeoutSeconds);
SnapshotHandler.CreateProcessMethodForSnapshot = customCaptureSection.CreateProcessMethodForSnapshot;
In my understanding, runtime is not able to get that section from configuration. I tried to find the section name in SharePoint hive and inetpub but with no luck. Is there another place I can look for configuration files? Or can someone verify that this section exists at all?
Thanks.
If the workbook is stores on premise, your host config is in Office Web Apps Server view mode (SharePoint Server configured to render workbooks by using Office Web Apps Server), and your workbook is opened in the Excel Web App power view sheets are not visible. Is this the mode you're in? They're also not visible on Skydrive.
