Management Reporter with Excel Links

Posted on by 345

I have a Management Reporter financial report that has volume information in certain rows (which is obtained from an Excel spreadsheet with a tab for each entity in the reporting tree) and financial information in other rows of the report.  In the row definition the volume rows have a link to external worksheet defined in column” J” with the cell links defined in column “K”.  The column definition has a column type of FD.  In the Reporting Tree the worksheet link is defined in column “G”, the workbook path is in column “H”(the path is a mapped network drive) and the worksheet name is defined in column “I” for each entity in the tree.

When I run the report I get the following error:

”The report definition you have selected is linked to an Excel file M:\MR Files\Units.xls that could not be found.  The folder does not exist.”

The folder clearly exists as I can brows to it from the Reporting Tree.  I tried putting the spreadsheet in different locations, such as the “C” drive on the computer and the Management Reporter default file location with no luck.  What am I missing?  The help, training and examples I have been able to locate were of little use.

    I'm getting the same error Gary had.  How do I change my path to UNC?

    I just installed MR 2012 RU2 and was still getting this message.  When I changed the link to the UNC path, it was able to find the excel file.

    Are you using the latest Roll up (2) for Management Reporter?
