I installed the Excel 2010 PIA's and it did not fix the problem. I even tried to uninstall the OPE and reinstall after installing the Excel 2010 PIA

This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered.

Updated Wiki: Disable Auto Refresh

Disable Auto Refresh

New to release 0.8.3 is a feature to help with heavy Power Pivot users in Excel 2013. After every minor change in Power Pivot, all PivotTables refresh. This can be a huge time waster if you intend to make several Power Pivot model changes in a row. This scenario is described more fully in a blog post by Greg Galloway. To avoid this delay after each Power Pivot change, right click on a PivotTable connected to Power Pivot (the built-in Excel Data Model) and choose Disable Auto Refresh:

This feature disables auto refresh on all PivotTables connected to that Power Pivot model (until you re-enable refresh).

Starting with release 0.8.4, this feature also disables DAX query tables also known as linkback tables and sets the calculation mode to manual to disable refresh of all formulas, primarily CUBEVALUE type formulas that connect to Power Pivot.

Then make your batch of changes in Power Pivot. When you are done, right click the PivotTable again and choose Enable Auto Refresh:

EnableAutoRefresh.png

Behind the scenes when you Enable Auto Refresh, it will trigger a refresh to PivotTables to update the field list and data in them. This could take some time if the model is complex, however this update was saved for the end of your batch of model changes.

While Auto Refresh is disabled, do use the Power Pivot window (the Manage button on the left of the Power Pivot tab) and do use the measures grid.

However, avoid attempting to add a new measure using the New Calculated Field dropdown:
DisableAutoRefreshAvoidCalcMenu.png

If you attempt to use that New Calculated Field menu while Auto Refresh is disabled, you will get the error "Could not add the field 'Your calculation' to the PivotTable because the formula is invalid."

Note: This feature is only visible in Excel 2013 against PivotTables connected to the Excel Data Model (i.e. Power Pivot model).

Note: The December 2014 update of Excel 2013 includes some significant stability improvements and an enhancement that gets you about half of the way towards "Disable Auto Refresh" functionality. It disables auto-refresh of PivotTables while the Power Pivot window is in focus, but as soon as you remove focus from the Power Pivot window, it auto-refreshes. This improvement is a step in the right direction, but we still recommend using OLAP PivotTable Extensions Disable Auto Refresh functionality for very complex workbooks so that you can begin authoring a Power Pivot change, flip over to a PivotTable to double check the name of a measure or value (without waiting for the PivotTable to refresh) and then continue authoring the measure in Power Pivot.

Commented Issue: Filtering on member properties [23463]

$

Currently EXCEL 2010 allows for filtering on member properties, however the Extensions tool does not allow (or not seem to allow) filtering on member properties.

I was hoping for similar functionality to the FILTER tool, which allows the ability to filter on multiple values for MEMBER Properties of a dimension/level.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: mrtnmrtns **

I totally agree with this issue!
In excel 2010 it's impossible to filter on multiple member properties.
Is it possible to provide the properties of a field in some kind of list so they can be checked an used as a filter?
In our company for example, a project had multiple attributes (project manager, project type, project executer, ...) all these attributes are present in our cube as properties of the field 'project'.
It's impossible to filter on multiple values of one property or to filter on multiple properties.
It would be very nice to have this functionality.

With the add-on install, if excel is launched it runs into an error that causes a crash. I have updated all windows updates, tried repairing office 2013, have uninstalled and re-installed the extension, and have tried older builds compatible with excel 2013. I am using Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64bit.

I work with people with the same build of olap pivot table extension, and excel 2013 running on Windows 8.1, and I seem to be the only one with the issue.

Getting the same problem, Excel 2013 (64bit) on Win 7 Ultimate (64bit). Sent you an email..

What were you right clicking on? A PivotTable? What's the source of the PivotTable? SSAS? Power Pivot?

If you click on the PivotTable then press Alt-F11 then Ctrl-G then paste the following into the Immediate window and press enter:

?ActiveCell.PivotTable.PivotCache().OLAP

Does it say True?

If not, then you PivotTable is a native PivotTable that's summarizing some table or other data in the spreadsheet or SQL table. You have to have an OLAP PivotTable (that is, one connected to an Analysis Services server or Power Pivot) for my add-in to work.

However, when I clear the table cache, the KPI colors disapear fram the table, leaving only -1, 0 and 1. I can't find a way to clear the pivottable cache but keep the KPI indesx format.

Created Unassigned: Clear PivotTable Cache and KPIs [26046]

Create a PivotTable that includes multiple KPI status or trend indicators. Clear PivotTable Cache. (The KPI icons are blanked out, but that's expected because we blanked out the MDX script temporarily.) Since many KPIs are return a non-null value on every row, the PivotTable still has rows in it, but that's due to the KPI definition I think. Save the workbook. Close and reopen it. Refresh. The data and KPIs come back, but the last KPI if it's the last measure in the PivotTable doesn't get its icon back. However, adding some other measure to the right of the KPI does appear to workaround this problem.

Research to see if this is just an Excel 2013 but or if there's a way OLAP PivotTable Extensions can workaround this.

Thanks to leoingileosson for reporting, "I have a financial pivottable with a KPI index attached to it. The KPI flashes colors, depending on financial outcome.

On the Formulas tab under Calculation Options, is it set to Automatic?

I've seen a few other strange issues where certain cells don't seem to get fresh data, but I don't think I've seen it where all cells won't refresh.

What are a few example formulas?

This doesn't have anything to do with OLAP PivotTable Extensions I think. So maybe posting in an Excel forum would be better.

Hi

I've been trying to get this plug-in working for a couple of months now. All my colleagues are using it fine, but I just can't get it to work. Every time my workload allows me I give it another try.

I've recorded the issue here:
https://olappivottableextend.codeplex.com/workitem/25501

basically Excel won't even start unless the plug-in is disabled.
OS is Windows 7 Enterprise N 64-bit
Excel is Office 2013 64-bit

I see from threads in this forum that some people have got it to work on Excel 64-bit. Can anyone confirm that it works OK, has anyone run into problems getting it to work and solved them somehow?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times (both the plug-in and Excel itself), but it makes no difference. First disabled and then completely uninstalled PowerPivot as well (don't know if this makes any difference), as this wasn't working either and make Excel unstable.

Am I just the unlucky one, or has anyone else run into problems on Excel 64-bit, or similar problems with 32-bit? I'd love to be able to use this plugin, as I do a lot of work supporting users running Pivottables on a cube.

regards

We have one user that Excel 2013 32 bit freezes when trying to refresh BI queries. If another users logs on to his machine it works fine. If the user with the issue logs on someone else's machine it freezes. We removed Office 365 & scrubbed the machine, downloaded all window updates, rebuilt the users profile, nothing helps.
The odd thing is, it runs fine if he runs it in safe mode.
All add ins have been disabled.
