The "Get Filter Values From" command is not displayed in the Connections menu when you try to edit an Excel Web Access Web Part in Excel Services

SYMPTOMS

When you try to edit an Excel Web Access Web Part in Excel Services, the Get Filter Values From command is not displayed in the Connections menu. This behavior occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • The Web Part is located on a page that contains any SharePoint filter.
  • The Web Part loads a Microsoft Office Excel 2007 PivotTable workbook from any location other than from a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library. For example, when you try to edit the workbook from a page that contains a choice filter (Authored list filter), the Get Filter Values From command does not appear.
Note Excel Services is included in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because of any of the following reasons:
  • No single-cell parameters exist in the workbook.
  • Only PivotTable report filter parameters exist in the workbook.
  • Parameter Modification is disabled in the Excel Web Access Web Part properties.
  • The workbook is stored in a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) or HTTP path.

    Note The Excel workbook must be stored in a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office Excel 2007
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
