Excel Spreadsheet Journal Import

I'm trying to debug an issue related to using the Excel Spreadsheet Journal Import. Where does the validation take place? I'm using Financial 9.0. But what actually happens when you click the import button? It looks like an XML message is sent. Does anyone know if this happens and if so what the name of the message is that is supposed to handle the incoming message??
Thanks all in advance!!

No, Data Merge won't do. The context of need in this case is placing an Excel spreadsheet into InDesign; with Show Import Options turned on; with the workflow idea of bringing it in unformatted; yet applying a pre-made TableStyle to it.
It turns out in this case that you have to follow up with selecting the first row (the header row) and clicking on Table > Convert (something or other) and choosing Header, thus turning the header row into a mechanically-repeating row (as in the case of a very long table that flows over more than one page).
You can do this in advance if it is a Word doc table. That is, it can be set in Word before placing. Apparently you cannont do so in advance in Excel.
Therefore, upon placing, the TableStyle appears to fail to some degree until you catch up with the Header Row conversion.
Best to you,

I'm not sure if this would help:
* Create the heading row content on the master page, either as literal text in a text frame, or as a text variable.
* Use Data Merge multiple records per page mode on the body page.
This creates a pseudo table heading above the merged data on each new page. You'll have to adjust the height, vertical justification, and text wrap when defining the master page text frame text wrap to force the merged data to begin below it on the page.
If you truly need a table, perhaps because some column content needs to wrap within cells, then "never mind." But if that's not the problem, perhaps nested and GREP styles could manage the formatting you need.

  • Export UPK topics as excel spreadsheets

    Hello
    I am trying to export UPK topics as excel spreadsheets, then import them into another application. I cannot find the function in UPK developer that permits me to export to excel.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    James

    You can publish topics to a spreadsheet format using the "HP Quality Center" publishing style. There are tips on customizing this style in the product documentation.
    You can also export your current view to a spreadsheet:
    1. File > Print
    -- This brings up the Print window.
    2. File > Save Document... > Excel File
    Hope this helps.

  • IMporting Excel Spreadsheets

    Hello
    We recently upgraded RH in our company from x5 to HTML 6,
    build 099. In a project I worked on with X5, I had imported Excel
    spreadsheets saved as html and generated a primary layout without
    any problem. However, in 6, when I would generate a layout, it
    would get to Updating Files and RH would crash without any error. I
    narrowed it down to 10 html files that were all Excel spreadsheets
    saved as html and imported into my project in x5. If I deleted
    those 10 files, the project would generate the layout. If I
    imported any of those files, it would crash again.
    To recreate the spreadsheets in RH wold just be too time
    consuming, and really inefficient as I expect to get regular
    updates on these spreadsheets to have available on this website via
    our intranet. Has anyone encountered this before? and
    recommendations?
    Thanks!

    Hi BradPrid and welcome to our community
    Did these spreadsheet files have any conditional text
    applied? If so, I believe a problem exists with merged table cells
    (which seem quite likely coming from Excel) when you use
    conditional text.
    If you can't seem to sort it, one thought would be to simply
    import the Excel HTML files as baggage files. Then simply link to
    them or maybe use redirects.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

    I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible.  Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form.  I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

    Hi,
    You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

    Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

    MR,
    Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
    The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

  • Excel Spreadsheet Import

    I am using the newest release (Version 1.1.0.21 Build MAIN-21.97) and thought that the spreadsheet importing mechanism was now working. It appears that it is now giving errors as soon as I choose a spreadsheet to import. I have tried shutting down the application and restarting it. But that did not help.
    Environment:
    Windows XP Pro
    Excel 2003
    Spreadsheet with 2 string columns and 1616 rows. Longest value in row is one column with 9 characters. NO Dates.
    Path to spreadsheet it long since it is located in subfolder in My Documents folder.
    Here is the error that I am getting:

  • Importing data from Excel Spreadsheet into SOP

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me where I can find instructions on how to import data into SOP form an Excel spreadsheet. I know there is a used exit MCP20001 EXIT_SAPMMCP6_001 but I don't see a transaction to execute this import exit from. Please help/clarify.
    Thank you
    I will award points to all who respond with useful information on importing info into SOP

    Dear,
    Please note the info structure os not different for different versions. ALl inactive versions are also storead in the same info struture.
    The info structure will be different only of the planning type is different. For standard SOP the info stucture is S076.
    You could also create your own info structures for the planning types you have created using flexible planning.
    For copying within the same info structures use transaction MC78. Here select the inactive version in the source and select the active version in the target. The copy with the button given for this.
    Within the MC87 copying is only possible between different info structures.
    Hope this helps your understanding.

  • Cannot get grid to print on imported ms excel spreadsheet

    hi,
    i've been through the knowledge base and such on this one and the help files that come with numbers and i can't seem to get the answer i'm looking for.
    there have been a number of people on here who have said they can't get the grid to stop printing on an imported excel spreadsheet. i'm having just the opposite problem ——>> i want the grid to print on a spreadsheet from excel i've imported, but each time i print i waste paper because the grid i want on it never prints.
    i have done extactly what the help instructions say: i have selected the table & sheet it is on in the sheet pane, gone to the view menu and done "Show Print View," opened the inspector and chosen the table inspector button, and clicked on the cell border button to show all the grid lines. each time i print, however, they still do not show.
    this is on a black macbook intel core2 duo, 2.0 ghz, 2 gb RAM, 200 gb hd, mac os x 10.4.10 with all the latest update, security and otherwise, and an hp 2510 PSC ink jet printer.
    if anyone could please help me out with this, it'd be most appreciated. i like numbers so far. but one of the easiest things about ms excel is going into page set-up and choosing to show the gridlines or not in printing — you'd think there would be an easy preference or inspector choice here also, but it is not at all apparent.

    I believe you have too much RAM installed ( sorry just a little Numbers' humor).
    I found if I have print gridlines set in Excel, then the same settings transfer to the Numbers' version. They are _very light_ though. Here is how I change border settings. Select the range of cells, set line type, then number of points and color:

  • Automating import of Excel spreadsheets

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to regularly import data contained in various Excel spreadsheets into the database.
    Assuming I can get the users to upload the spreadsheets to the database server (using Application Express), how do I load the spreadsheet data?
    My restrictions are
    - Our users can not be expected to convert the Excel files to csv files
    - No third party software (converters, ODBC drivers, etc) can be used
    Thanks
    Andy.

    I currently have the same situation so what I did is that I saved the Excel spreadsheet as a tab delimited file and created a batch file to call SQL Loader and then write codes in Oracle Form to call this batch file when user click a button using host().
    I also created a macro in Excel so user can hit a short-cut key to create the tab delimited file so developer don't have to get involved with this process. 3 easy steps and this works like a charm!
    To call SQL Loader at command prompt:
    C:\oracle\ora92\bin\sqlldr userid=username/password@databasename control=SQLLoaderCtl.txt log=SQLLoaderCtl.log bad=SQLLoader.bad
    ps. you can also use TEXT_IO to read the text file and parse the data but because I have more than 80 columns so I decided to use SQL Loader since it's easier.
