I had Office 2003 & Dashboard Designer installed. I was creating a bunch of reports in dashboard designer that started by creating a data source using Microsoft's Data Retrieval Services to connect to a SharePoint list.
I installed Office 2007 and I no longer can create a data source using Data Retrieval Services. I reinstalled Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components, but I still do not have the option to create a report based on a data source pointing to a SharePoint list.
Do I need to install Excel 2003 or something?
I installed Excel 2003 side-by-side with Office 2007 and I can now use Data Retrieval Services again.

I have written a small officeJS addin for excel which run perfectly on desktop excel client. Also office online from onedrive gives an option of installing the addin from the ribbon menu. I want to use this officeJS addin to run on either of the following configuration:
On premise office online server configured with on premise
sharepoint server.
On premise office online server with my own
implementation of wopi host.
How to deploy an officeJS addin on office online on premise server which is preferably managed centrally by the administrator.
Also why is the add-ins option is not available on the office online configured with sharepoint, pfa image:
office online onedrive v/s office online onprem with sharepoint
Thank You
The Office Online Server currently doesn't enable Office store by default. As part of the configuration, you'd have to enable it. I'm not 100% sure about the exact setting. It may be this: set the AllowExternalMarketplace flag to true.

Try this. On a server in the farm, open the SharePoint Management Shell (PowerShell). Run this command:
Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm - OfficeAddinEnabled:$true
You probably have to be logged in as a farm administrator.
There is some documentation here: Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm
What is new feature of Excel online (part of office online server) vs excel services?
I read some article like excel web apps vs excel services but i cant find some article to compare Excel Online and excel services
Excel Online is a newer version of Excel web app, but it's not available on premise, only in the cloud. It has limitations compared to desktop Excel, but Excel Online is continually updated with new features, whereas Excel web app on your local server will only get updates if there is a service pack or similar. Excel Online integrates seamlessly with Office 365 and SharePoint online.
Excel Online, for example, supports simultaneous editing by multiple users.
Update: In November 2016, the on-premise version of Excel Services received significant step change in SharePoint Server 2016. Office Online can now run on-premise. Details: https://blogs.office.com/2016/11/21/updates-for-excel-services-and-bi-in-sharepoint-2016-on-premises/
I have a Development Project in motion where the end user interacts with an MVC Application to input data into it, then it gets submitted to SQL Server. Straightforward as it is really. Then the data is used to produce a PDF Report.
I want to use SharePoint to pull the data from SQL Server to create a .DOCX and integrate Microsoft office word 2010 to edit the document and publish as a .PDF
The MVC Application, Not a problem. ITs SharePoint Integration with Microsoft Word I'm not familiar with. SharePoint itself yes. Integration and Automation with Office Business Applications, no really.
Can anybody point me into the direction of good solid resources online into Office Integration?
Im using Sharepoint Server standard 2010 so One Word Automation is out...
We got a requirement to embed powerview graphs and powerpivot tables in sharepoint 2013 app. I am new to sharepoint app development.

First you need to make sure you have Enterprise Version of SharePoint. Then you need to configure SharePoint BI features. Activate BI features requires set of configurations on SQL/SharePoint, Possibly Kerberos configuration etc. You will get an overview of how to install/configure BI features at:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231671.aspx. You will also get an step by step instructions at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/querysimon/archive/2012/11/26/installing-the-bi-features-of-sharepoint-2013.aspx.
We have a SharePoint 2010 farm and a SharePoint 2013 farm.
In one of the List on the SharePoint 2013 farm, when ever a record is created,
we need to copy it to a list on SharePoint 2010 farm.
Can this be done using the 2013 CSOM? Will the 2013 CSOM be able to connect to 2010 List and manipulate it (CRUD operations)
OR
Should I consider creating a Custom Service Application and expose the data stored in 2013 farm for the 2010 farm to consume it?
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure if client object model from 2013 dll will work on SP2010, but you should definitely be able to save an item using listdata.svc REST calls, and then you shouldn't need any custom service application.
We've done from 2007-->2010 (console app) using scom for 2010. The same code run smoothly when we upgraded 2010->2013. So, I guess you won't have any problems.
