Crystal Ball For Mac Excel 2016

YASAI appear to run well with Windows Excel 2016. Charts in Mac Excel Due to an apparent bug in Mac Excel 2011 charting, histogram charts are not available on Mac platforms. Cumulative charts are available on all platforms. In future, we hope to investigate whether the charting bug persists in Mac Excel 2016 and later. To use Crystal Ball with Windows Vista or Microsoft Excel 2007 or later must download and install the English version of Crystal Ball 7.3. If you are using this version on an English operating system with non-English regional settings. Oracle Crystal Ball Product Unparalleled Insight into the Critical Factors Affecting Risk Oracle Crystal Ball is for strategic planners, financial analysts, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, CPAs, marketing managers, venture capitalists, consultants, Six Sigma professionals, and anyone else who uses spreadsheets to forecast uncertain results. Crystal Reports 2016 and below are 32bit application, and can still use the Microsoft DAO technology to connect to Excel and Access, as a legacy connection type. Crystal Reports 2020 is a 64bit application, and therefore it is no longer possible to connect to Excel or Access using DAO, since there is no 64bit version of this Microsoft Technology. Crystal Ball (standard edition) is the easiest way to perform Monte Carlo simulations in your Excel spreadsheets and models. Crystal Ball automatically calculates thousands of different 'what if' cases, saving the inputs and results of each calculation as individual scenarios. Analysis of these scenarios reveals the range of possible outcomes, their probability of occurring, which.

THE SENSITIVITY TOOLKIT (Legacy)

The Sensitivity Toolkit was first developed in 2002 and went through several revisions as a part of Tuck's curriculum. The Toolkit has always been Free software and in completely unprotected with full source code available so that users can modify the software.

Data Sensitivity creates a table and chart to show how an output cell varies with changes in one (or two) inputs. In Tornado Chart, a set of parameters is varied from low to high and the results for a single output cell are reported. Solver Sensitivity runs the optimization program Solver on a spreadsheet for a set of values for one (or two) parameters. Similarly, Crystal Ball Sensitivity runs the simulation program Crystal Ball on a spreadsheet for a set of values for one (or two) parameters.

We have continued to update Data Sensitivity, Tornado Chart, and Solver Sensitivity for both research and classroom use. We no longer have a license for Crystal Ball however, so that component of the Toolkit is unlikely to be functional.

Using the Sensitivity Toolkit

The Sensitivity Toolkit was created to bring the most powerful tools of sensitivity analysis to the spreadsheet. The Toolkit supports four different forms of sensitivity analysis:

Sensitivity Toolkit Support

The Sensitivity Toolkit is free software, but we cannot offer any promise of support. We will try and answer questions about the Toolkit and give advice, but be advised that there may be a considerable delay before we can respond. Please direct all inquires to: sensitivity.toolkit@dartmouth.edu.

Symptom

Excel and Access connection missing.
Where are the MS Excel and MS Access connection in Crystal Reports?
Cannot find the Excel connection after upgrading Crystal Reports to the latest version.
Connection to 'Access/Excel' cannot be found under 'Create New Connection' in Crystal Reports.

Environment

SAP Crystal Reports 2020
MS Excel 2013
MS Excel 2016
MS Excel 2019

MS Access 2013
MS Access 2016
MS Access 2019

Reproducing the Issue

In Crystal Reports, create a new report.
In the 'Database Expert', under 'Create New Connection', it does not list the connection 'Access/Excel (DAO)'
Where is the Access and Excel connection?

Cause

To create a report based on MS Excel and MS Access in previous version of Crystal Reports, it used to have the connection type: 'Access/Excel (DAO)'
This connection was using the 32bit Microsoft Data Access Objects (DAO), and Microsoft JET Engine, which have been deprecated by Microsoft.
Crystal Reports 2016 and below are 32bit application, and can still use the Microsoft DAO technology to connect to Excel and Access, as a legacy connection type.
Crystal Reports 2020 is a 64bit application, and therefore it is no longer possible to connect to Excel or Access using DAO, since there is no 64bit version of this Microsoft Technology. This is why the option 'Access/Excel (DAO)' is not available in Crystal Reports 2020.

Resolution

To report of a MS Excel or MS Access in Crystal Reports, use one of the following connection type:

ODBC
OLEDB

To use an ODBC Connection:

Launch the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator (64bit), from: C:WindowsSystem32odbcad32.exe
In the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator (64bit), under the tab 'System DSN', click 'Add...'
Select the ODBC Driver corresponding to the type of data source you want to report from:
- For MS Excel, select : Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls,*.xlsx,*.xlsm,*.xlsb)
- For MS Access, select : Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)
Note
If you do not see the ODBC Drivers, then it is either because you have a 32bit version of MS Office installed, or do not have MS Office installed. To download and install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Office ODBC drivers, go to the Microsoft website, and search for: 'Microsoft Access Database Engine'
Then click 'Finish'
Add an ODBC DSN Name and select the MS Excel or MS Access document you want to report from.
Click 'OK' to create the ODBC DSN
In Crystal Reports, create a new report.
In the 'Database Expert',expand 'Create New Connection', and double click on 'ODBC (RDO)'
Select the ODBC DSN created in the previous steps to report from Excel, or Access.
NOTE: For MS Excel, if the Excel sheets are not visible, then:

Right click on the 'Connection', and in the contextual menu, select 'Options'
In the 'Options' window, check the option 'System Tables', and click OK
Back to the 'Database Expert' window, right click on the connection, and select 'Refresh'
The MS Excel sheets will now display.

To use an OLEDB connection

In Crystal Reports, create a new report.
In the 'Database Expert', expand 'Create New Connection', and double click on 'OLE DB (ADO)'
Select the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine Provider.
Note
If you do not see the OLEDB Provider, then it is either because you have a 32bit version of MS Office installed, or do not have MS Office installed.
To download and install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Office ODBC driver and OLEDB Provider, go to the Microsoft website, and search for:
'Microsoft Access Database Engine'
Change the Office Database type to: Excel, or Access
Select the MS Excel, or MS Access file.
