Excel as DataProvider in Web intelligence

Hi Experts

 

 

 

i have a webi report that will be used to refresh information in a BO dashboard. This report has a data provider based on an Excel document that has been uploaded to Bi Launchpad.

 

 

 

The report was refreshing well from the Excel DP, but then it stopped and I got this error:

'Unable to create or update the Excel personal data provider: cannot retrieve data from the file. (IES 10874) (WIS 10874)'

 

 

 

A bit of investigation showed that this might be caused by a changed in the folder name the source Excel file is contained in. When i view the Excel DP settings I see it is still referencing the path with the old folder name in it.

 

 

 

However, my problem is that i cannot see how to change the path to include the new folder name. I have attached screenshots of the error message, the edit settings options and the options when selecting an excel spreadsheet when creating a query.

Clik here to view.

Can someone please advise on how to change the path to the source Excel document being used in a dataprovider?

 

 

 

Many thanks in advance

 

 

 

Best Regards

Ade
