Hello Guys,

Please Help Me, I am faceing this error while deploying the SSAS tabular Cube.

Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '\pDART.xlsx'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.; 3051.
A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of 'Excel '.
OLE DB or ODBC error: The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file  files\New_Deal Vs plan Vs actual .xlsx'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.; 3051.

Plz Help...

Thanks.

Hi, I'm not a SSAS expert but the error sounds like an user has the excel file open while you try to process the tabular model and that's why it can't continue. Once the file is opened by a user it is blocked for other task.

I hope that make sense.
