BPC PowerPoint - Best Pract / Issues

Former Member

Hi,

I am planning on putting together an executive pack that will include approximately 20 BPC Exel reports. On inserting the first slide I noticed that it takes a really long time for the Excel object to show and then when I select an object it shows the worksheet name but the worksheet is empty. There doesn't seem to be much documentation / forum information regarding PowerPoint and any possible best practices or known issues - could anyone point me in the correct direction for information on this please? Also I'd like to understand the effort involved in maintaining an executive pack i.e. changing the month selection for instance - would changing the current view be sufficient or does the entire point point need to be worked through?

Kind Regards,

Fiona

Fiona,

I'm having the same issue with the lag time opening up the report and the blank worksheet once it's been inserted into BPC for Powerpoint. We are on BPC 7.0 (sql version), SP3. Do you know if there was a fix or another workaround other than creating it in Word and publishing it to Powerpoint?

The documentation on Power Point is very limited. It seems our issue was service pack related. We have BPC 5.1 SP06 (office 2003) which we now know has a bug and Power Point won't insert Excel objects correctly. Work around is to setup in word and then publish to Power Point.

Hi,

Has anybody got an ideas as to why this problem could be occuring? I've tested PowerPoint on a virtual demo machine that we have and it is working.

We have SAP BPC 5.1 SP06 on a virtual machine - single server, SQL Server 2005, Office 2003 being used on client machines.

Kind Regards,

Fiona
