So your boss approaches you and says, “That SharePoint site you created for our dept., is great! Can you duplicate the site for all our depts.”? At that point you hit the palm of your hand on your forehead and say to yourself, “now if I could only remember how I did all that, and I wish I would have taken notes”.

We recently ran into a situation where a client needed to change the filter in an Excel report that is using the CUBEVALUE and CUBEMEMBER functions. The report was built using a pivot table going against a cube. We then used Convert to Formulas so we could control the report format. This approach worked great for the current data, but lacked a simple way to update the report every month by selecting a new period from a drop down. After some struggles and some seemingly dead ends, we had enough information to solve the problem. Continue reading “Dynamic Excel CUBEVALUE and CUBEMEMBER Functions”

The backup/restore was also unnecessary because the OSoft share was not on the app server and I wasn’t bringing up a new database server. Continue reading “Recover Existing BPC MS AppSets”
I needed a methodology for publishing new versions of SharePoint workflows using Visual Studio. I have a Document Library that has a workflow (we’ll call it version 1). The document, 9-30 Staff Meeting.pdf, is running workflow version 1; waiting on a user to complete a task. However, I’ve changed the code and want new documents to run the workflow with the changes (we’ll call this workflow version 2). Here is the key, while the new document, 10-7 Staff Meeting.pdf, will run workflow version 2, I need the the already in progress, 9-30 Staff Meeting.pdfdocument, to complete using the existing version 1 assembly.
