Excel Server service is not properly registered or provisioned

Question

I have an issue with viewing excel through the web on Sharepoint 2010. On checking the event logs I get.

ExcelServerWebServiceApplication.Local: Could not get the web application associated with this context. This indicates that the Excel Server service is not properly registered or provisioned.

I could open excel sheets before but never got the excel refresh slicer working correctly. So I had deleted the "Excel Services Application"  and recreated a "Excel Services" in the manage Service applications, now I cannot open excel at all.  This is a development box is there a way to get this working without a reinstall of Sharepoint 2010.

When I deleted the Excel Services Application it only deleted the same name under it

Currently in my manage service applications for excel I have the following.

Excel Services Application

Excel Services
Excel Services

any help appreciated

Hi Sammy,

Is your PivotTable based on PowerPivot?

Hi Challen,

It was just standard excel 2010 connected to analysis server on a different server to the sharepoint 2010 server.

The Sharepoint does not let me open any excel sheets at all now since I deleted the "Excel Services Application" so I think its probably not a powerpivot issue, so may be in the wrong newsgroup area, if so would you know the best newsgroup for this issue

thanks
