Reproducing the Issue

  1. Set Korean as the Display Language in Microsoft Office.
  2. Open an AO workbook or a query.

  3. Go to Excel's menu bar, click 'Formulas' and 'Insert Function', insert Analysis Function SAPSetFilterComponent.

  4. In the Function Arguments open dialog, only the "Selection Type" field is displayed, while all other fields labels and input fields are missing.

Cause

At runtime, AO loads a text file from its installation folder, for the Korean language, all translated texts are stored in file KO.XML. Microsoft Office Excel has a problem with displaying the translated texts for Analysis Function in Korean.

Resolution

  1. Navigate to KO.XML file as per the following path.
    32-bit: C:\ Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Office AddIn\Plugins\AnalysisOffice\Language
    64-bit: C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Office AddIn\Plugins\AnalysisOffice\Language
  2. Open the KO.XML file and search for "lbl.SetFilterComponent", replace the Korean parameter names by the English ones (e.g. replace "데이터 소스" to "Data Source") which exist in EN.XML file under the same path.
