Excel save as txt

Experts,
I have a client who wants to save reports to Excel. This works from SBO, the report is auto opened by Excel. If they close this it is saved to TXT. They want this to save to Excel instead of TXT format without them having to 'save as'.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Marli

Hi Marli,
Export to Excel function is always export file as text file. Only the macro in Autoopen.xls make it open and displayed in Excel worksheet. It has to be saved as Excel file before it closed.
Thanks,
Gordon

Export to excel saves to .txt

Hi All,
When an user export any file to excel it saves as .txt,
How can I solve that and what is the reason for it.
thanks in advance.

While it would be possible to create a true Excel format document, the processing burden would be higher, it would require that Excel be on all machines (which is recommended now), and would be more likely to fail when upgrades are done to Excel.
The alternative is to use a text-based format that is recognized by Excel. SAP opted to use a tab-delimited file. Unlike a comma-separated value file, which has an extension of .csv, the common extension Excel wants to see for a tab-delimited file is .txt. You may view this yourself by opening Excel, selecting "Save As..." and examining the various formats and extensions (I tested in Excel 2007).
So the best way to present this to a customer is to point out that Excel wants to see a .txt. extension for this Excel-supported format, and that SAP uses that to give the customer the ultimate flexibility with their spreadsheet software, including not having any at all.

Export Excel Table in .txt File with space delimited text in UNICODE Format

Hi all
I've a big unsolved problem: I would like to convert an Excel table with some laboratory data in it (descriptions as text, numbers, variables with some GREEK LETTERS, ...). The output should be a formatted text with a clear structure. A very good solution is
given by the converter in Excel "Save As" .prn File. All works fine, the formattation is perfect (it does not matter if some parts are cutted because are too long), but unfortunately the greek letters are converted into "?"!!!
I've tried to convert my .xlsx File in .txt File with formatting Unicode and the greek letters are still there! But in this case the format is not good, the structure of a table is gone!
Do you know how to save an Excel file in .prn but with Unicode formatting instead of ANSI or a .txt with space delimited text?
Thanks a lot to everyone that can help me!
M.L.C.

This solution works in Excel/Access 2013.
Link the Excel table into Access.
In Access, right-click the linked table in the Navigation Pane, point your mouse cursor to "Export", and then choose "Text File" in the sub-menu.
Name the file, and then under "Specify export options", check "Export data with formatting and layout". Click "OK".
Choose either Unicode or Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. Click "OK".
Click "Close" to complete the export operation.

Why won't pdf files save as txt?

I used Adobe Reader X on my Windows XP PC to copy multiple pdf files to txt files so I could add information to them. I didn't need them as pdf files anyway. Since having had to buy a new PC, (Windows 7), the pdf files that I 'Save As' txt files are empty once copied. I tried copying a pdf file I'd successfully copied to txt on my old PC and it too is empty once copied to txt. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

Thank you for your response, but the "save as text" (.txt) is what is now resulting in an empty file. It used to produce a full text file.

Save as TXT, ANSI

Hi all,
We have migrated to XI 3 from 6.5, on Win2k3 an Oracle. We have some documents that we used to save as txt for exporting data to another application, and in XI 3 the encoding used when saving as txt with DesktopIntelligence is UTF-8. In 6.5 version was ANSI. Is any place where we can configure it to ANSI?
Thanks in advance

Hi Smike,
1. From BOXIR2 onwards that is BOXIR3 also it is a Unicode supported application and the data in the report will be Unicode data therefore we canu2019t change the codepage of BOXIR3 to ANSI.
1.. Open the text file and apply the following workflow.
2. File > Save As > Save as Type > Plain Text > Other Encoding > UTF8 The resulting
file will not have any problems.
3. Would request you to visit the following link

Excel toolkit --excel save.vi is broken arrow

After installing the Goop toolkit and excel toolkit . I found that the "excel save.vi" having broken arrow and give me an error.

Ok, first -- do you have excel installed? Sorry, had to ask.
It seems a little odd that you say the vi has a broken arrow and also gives
you an error message. Does that mean that the vi will try to run even
though it has a broken arrow but then it gives an error message, or do you
mean that even without running it it gives an error message?
I once had a vi with a broken arrow but no error in the error list window.
I clicked the box to show warnings and it turned out that it was a warning
that caused the broken arrow.

How to save an excel file as .txt on a mac?

I am trying to upload products for sale on Amazon. They have an Excel template that you use to do the upload. The problem is that you have to save the file as tab delimitated .txt. How do I do that on my Mac??

If you're going to be doing this on a regular basis, consider Numbers from the App store for $15, which is the Apple program equivalent to Excel.

Excel save as pdf hangs when launched through a watch folder

Hi there,
I've configured a watch folder to launch a batch file which launch a .exe file I've written in C++
In this application I launch Excel which open a .XLS document which contains macros.
At the end of the computations there is a macro which save as pdf.
At this point everything hangs and I have to cancel the job I've created for the watch folder.
If I disable the watch folder and I place the starting file inside the watch folder
and I manually launch the .bat file (which usually is launched by the watch folder) everything works perfectly.
I really really hope there will be someone here coming with a solution for me.
By the way on the windows forum I've got a very disappointing answer where they stated it was probably a fault of my application.
Well fortunately that was not the problem because
I can reproduce the problem even removing my application from the equation so now we have cleared
the issue is not casued by my application.
So if you want to try it yourself just follow the steps below:
1) create an excel document so that after you open it it automatically run a save as pdf operation and close excel. (let's call this document "PRINT_TEST.xls")
2) create a batch file named "Excel_launcher.bat" and write the command
""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\EXCEL.EXE" "C:\teststampapdf\PRINT_TEST.xls""
3) Now create a watch folder job that execute that batch file.
something like "C:\watchfolderX\Excel_launcher.bat"
4) now create a watch folder that uses that job and for file filter use "*.txt" enable it and start it
5) now launch manually the batch file and you'll see that it print the pdf and closes itself
6) drop a txt file inside the watch folder you've created and you'll see it hangs at the save as pdf operation.
This is something that have to be fixed and it's due to excel.
I can launch and save documents with all the application I want but excel so that's the problem.
Please take a look and keep me updated I badly need to find a solution for this issue.
THANK YOU in advance,
Davide

Hi Davide,
This is no the right forum for your issue. I think you can consult this issue on some Excel end-user related forum.

Tranform templateu00B4s Excel files into *.txt for Data Transfer Workbench

I have some problems transforming the data files to import since Data Transfer Workbench.
I haven't the extructure of de Excel templates of SAP BO.
What is more important: I'm transforming the data with Access consults, and I use Access for convert the Excel to *.txt files. So, somebody could tell me another way to do this?

Hello,
You can have the structure of all DTW templates in C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates.
They are in csv format, but I think this is more easy to save them in txt format (with tab), because you will be able to use "," in the numbers easily.
For more help on how to fill the templates, you can have a look at DI API help (in the SDK folder). You will find the explanation of every column of your templates.

Excel save

I have an application with a lot of excel functions going on using ActiveX. When I create a line to be added to the excel file it stays in memory but is not written immediately. When the LV app closes and uses close /save the file is written. I want to save each addition in the files in case the program crashes and does not exit gracefully. So that no data is lost.
Here is my function that adds each update to the excel file.
I thought the last activeX function would save the file each time I add something to the workbook.
It needs to update automatically without operator intervention.
Can someone tell me what I have wrong?
Thanks
Judd

temp excel write string.vi ‏24 KB

Dear Judd,
You are using the correct function/method for save (Excel Workbook - Save).
Probably you check,
1. The sequence of the functions you are using
2. Error conditions,
3. Write Permission of the file
4. Write Protection/Properties of the Excel Cells
5. The Range you are using (Range of Cells)
Also I am suggesting to save the file before closing it (PFA).
Note that while debugging you can launch Excel Application with 'Visible' and put breakpoint before closing the excel file/or where you want.
So that you can cross-check that the write function is working properly.

Excel Save As dialog not appearing for one user

Hi,
My company uses a payroll application called Cintra.
It's possible to run a report in this application and
export it to Excel.
When one of the users exports a report and clicks File > Save As > Browse nothing happens. All other users get the Save as dialog.
Is there any setting that may be preventing this? She does not appear to have this trouble when saving any other
Excel
files.
We all use Excel 2013 on Windows 7 in Citrix.
Cheers
Paul

Here is an article for troubleshooting errors when save Excel files you can refer to

Why does a document in Textedit save as .txt when I try to save it as .html?

I am trying to save a document in Textedit as a .html and it will work at first but if I edit it and press "Save as Version" it saves it as a .txt. It is getting very annoying because I have to change it every time I open it. Please Help

I think if I understand you correctly this could work, if you uncheck the box in Textedit preferences "Add .txt........." and then do a "save as" .html.
Then "get info" on the document and define what you want to open it with. It should only open then the way you want it to keeping the .html

You could always drop a property node to get the values from the chart and then write to a csv file. Or, you can also always right click on a chart in LabVIEW and choose to export to Excel.

To upload the Excel file, please refer this thread :

To download the Excel file on application server, please refer this thread :

To summarize :
You need to use GUI_UPLOAD to upload the excel file and need to use FM MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT to download the excel file on application server.
