Hi everybody,
Has anybody tried to set up an excel dashboard using a mac ?
I'm having some difficulties to replicate the query function with the mac
version of Excel 2016.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance !
Michel
Actually, to be more precise, I can write a query in a .txt file and feed
it to excel. But I'm stuck with a Django error :

The login and password used for CommCare HQ doesn't work here.
Any idea ?

I'll be very interested to see the responses you get to this. We produce
dashboards using Mac Excel 2016 and had to give up trying to link directly.
Now we download the data to the browser, save the page, open it in Excel
and copy the data and paste it into the dashboard workbook. A faff but it
works. See http://colalife.org/dashboards
My view is that Excel 2016 is still just an advanced beta release!! Not
sure how Microsoft get away with it!

Hi Simon,
I totally agree with your vision of Microsoft Excel for Mac...
Unfortunately Excel is still a tool we can not work without.
I've take a look at your dashboards, and I must recon, they are just
amazing ! Is it too much to ask for an example of the Excel file in order
to see how its made ?
Feel free to pass on that !
Cheers,
Michel

Hi Michel
Here's our latest dashboard. Ignore rows 2 to 8 on the 'data analysis' tab
- this is redundant table.
Raw data is pasted into columns A to AK in the 'Raw data' tab where columns
AL to AV do some initial calculations.
Table 1 on the 'data analysis' tab summarises the data by Province/District
for all districts in Zambia and then Table 2 on the same tab summarises
this data according to our needs and it's this data that forms the charts
on the dashboard. The only really tricky bit is the table at BF8:BL37 which
displays the clustered, stacked bar chart which is not a chart format
offered by Excel (see Graph 2 on the dashboard).
We have an Excel Template of the dashboard which is the starting point each
week and this has columns A to AK blank on the Raw data tab and just the
first row of columns AL to AV containing formula. Into this we paste in the
data (at A2) and fill down the formulae in columns AL to AV. We found we
had to do this because the referencing got corrupted if we had formulae in
place all the way down when we pasted in the data (another Excel bug??).
I need to acknowledge the help I got from Abbott Katz to get me started.
Happy to answer any questions you may have.
With best wishes
Simon

Great Thanks a lot Simon.
I admit this will be a huge help to build our dashboards.
If someone from Dimagi could help us regarding the direct link between
CommCare's Excel Dasbord Integration and Excel 2016 for Mac, that would be
a must.

Hi Everyone,
We had a previous thread about authentication with Power BI and Excel. I'm
not sure how related this is to Excel for Mac, but please see my previous
email below:
···
-------------------It looks like Power BI/ Excel Power Query doesn't properly handle basic
authentication. See this article:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3d81cbcf-2510-41bb-b325-
693d986d6641/power-query-vs-basic-authentication-webserver-with-ssl?forum=
powerquery
You can get around this by adding your own custom power query expression.
- In Excel, go to New Query, but choose Other, Blank Query
- In the query editor, then click on View, Advanced Editor
- Then paste in the following:
let
Source = Web.Page(Binary.Buffer(Web.Contents("")))
in
Source
Note that the URL needs to end with a slash. Excel will prompt you to enter
your username / password via Basic Auth then. You can then use the query
editor to choose the data you want.
