Export to Excel from Reports produces corrupt file format

Whenever I choose to export to excel results of custom reports I am unable to open the file as I am told the file format is corrupt. The contents show as containing xml data and even changing the extension from xls to xml does not get me anywhere.
If I save the report and then download I am still informed the file format does not match the extension but the fie will open in Excel.

Hi,
Please raise a ticket or provide the URL if the issue is still there.

Export to Excel from Report region (pl/sql returning sql query)

Hello all,
I have encountered an interesting problem. I have an HTMLDB application with a lot of sql reports coded straight inside the report region. In order to better organize my reports, I decided to
1. make all my report regions of type "Pl/Sql function returning SQL query"
2. create a package inside my database schema which houses all reports as pl/sql functions returning VARCHAR2, the string returned being the report query
3. just calling "return package_name.function_name" from inside my report region of type "Pl/sql function returning SQL query".
This technique seemed to work perfectly. The reports were being returned as expected. I was then asked to provide the "Export to Excel" capability to all my reports. This seemed like a piece of cake using HTML DB's "Export to Excel" extension. However, the "export to excel" does not function correctly when my reports are inside a package in the database. HTML DB tries to export but inside the excel spreadsheet, instead of seeing row data, I see:
<pre>failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: missing expression
<!-- select a.username, b.table_name, 'View Row Data' from schema_browser_user_list a, all_tables b where a.user_id = and a.username = b.owner order by b.table_name asc
--!>
</pre>
I am building my query string inside of my package functions by using a combination of literal strings and concatenating them with some parameter values being passed in. It seems that the HTML DB engine which exports the report to excel does not properly understand the concatenation of variables as can be seen by the empty space to the right of the equal sign in the "a.user_id = " clause. Does anybody have any input as to whether this is a known issue or if I am doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for your time.

James,
Thanks for the quick reply. I think you mis-understood what I'm doing. All I'm doing is creating packaged functions which return VARCHAR2. The VARCHAR2 that they return is the report query. With this technique, I no longer have to type the query into the HTML DB report region. Instead, I make the report region a "Pl/sql function returning sql query" and make the following call: return package_name.function_name(some_application_items passed in as parameters)
This makes for a much more organized html db app. The problem is that the "export to excel" function does not correctly interpret the VARCHAR2 that my packaged functions are returning. Is this a better explanation? Thanks again for your time.

SSRS exporting to excel from Report Viewer is not respecting boolean critera

Symptom:
What's happening is that we are selecting a
set of criteria eg: start date, drop down filter and a bit field.
After running the report against this criteria it comes up in the report viewer with the correct results.
However after we export the current results to Excel the results in Excel are different because it seems
that exporting
re-ran the report without the selected bit field when SSRS should have taken the current run and converted it. This isn't happening on all bit fields either
which is the oddest part. However all of the bit parameters are setup the same in the RDL.
We're Loading the report into and rendering it in the Report Viewer control and then leveraging the Report Viewer's Render Routine to export on a button click.
The result to Excel.
<asp:imagebutton
ImageUrl="/Images/excel.png"
id="btnExportExcel"
runat="server"
ToolTip="Export to Formatted Excel"
Height="20"
Width="20"
/>
...logic to setup the out parameters in the Render routine.
bytes = ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Render("EXCEL",
Nothing, mimeType, encoding, extension, streamids, warnings)
Response.Buffer =
True
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = mimeType
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=" & ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath.Split("/")(2) &
"." + extension)
Response.BinaryWrite(bytes)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
I wanted to know if anyone has seen this odd behavior and if there's situation where the server would re-render the report when exporting to a particular format? I would also like to add that no errors
came up either.

Export to Excel and Save as Static File

Hello all,
When I export to excel from SharePoint 2013, and save the file, the data remains dynamic in that if I update the list in SharePoint it will update the data in Excel. This is great and I use it in a few places, but I also need to capture a point in time and
save the exported Excel file as static data (i.e. Export to Excel, and Save as the Q3 Report). How can I save the file as static/remove the dynamic link so I just have the data at the time of export?
Thanks!
K.

Hi Kelly,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to export to excel as a static file.
In SharePoint, when you export list to excel, it works as a one-way sync. It can sync data from SharePoint to Excel. If you don’t want to sync the data from SharePoint, you can copy the data from the exported excel file to a new excel, then save the new
excel file.

Exporting to Excel from Aria People Search

Is it possible to export to Excel from Aria People Search.
I would like to output the Org Chart (built in) and the Tree (I created) to an Excel file.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
If you are using 10g, then OLE2 is supported. However, it will be executed in the App Server Machine.
If you want to do the operation in the Client machine (as how it was done in the Client / Server), you need to use Client_OLE (Which is part of WebUtil).
Look at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
for more details on WebUtil.

Alternatively you could use OLE2 to do the bulk of the importing and exporting and then use the webutil file transfer functions to move the file to the client and then simply open the file there...That might be more efficient in terms of performance as well.

I need to invoke Excel from Reports 3.0.

I need to invoke Excel from Reports 3.0. I need to insert into
Excel Data which is output of a report. Can someone help me with
a sample code of how we can invoke Excel and Get data.
Thanks in Advance
Ravi

Ravi,
The Forms Demos include an example of how to do this.
It will be easy to adapt to Reports (the OLE2 built-ins are the
same).
Also, Reports 3.0 is quite old and not supported anymore.
Hope this helps,

Rep-0002 : unable to retrive string from report builder message file

rep-0002 : unable to retrive string from report builder message file
i'm using developer/2000 ver 2.1 and my reports running under win95 platform and i'm using client/server techneque, when i start to distribute my reports to my users on their machines i got the above message , and i have to recompile all of my RDF files again on every user machine. this not all my story , but after some period may be 2 months these reports start to give the same message , again i must recompile all my RDF on every user machine.
please if any one have a solution for this mazing problem.
thank you.
[email protected]

bogdom and gaben,
I belong to your club too it seems. Though in my case the compilation was required on each database. Report used to work in the only that database in which they were compiled. Connecting to other database used to give this string error. Moreover this problem existed only for those reports in which i had used PL/SQL code in the formula columns. One way to avoid this is by writing all PL/SQL code in a library and call it in the formula column calculations.

How to remove values formatting in export to excel from ALV grid

Hi all,
I have small issue, I have ALV Grid with some data, but the problem is with columns containing e.g. gross amounts, because it is displayed in the grid as e.g. 1.764,81, and after export to excel it is still in this format (with dot and comma), so excel doesn't treat it as numeric value but as text, and then when I try to calculate total on the column then this values are not taken to the total. Do you know if that is possible to remove column formatting?
kind regards,
Marcin

I replied too soon to Peter's suggestions. For some reason, I was able to add new info. to my first new row, but not the second. However, I finally figured out the problem.
I found the Help Center page on: "Here are ways to change custom formats and apply changes to table cells:"
To change the elements associated with a custom format that’s been applied to cells, select the cells and click Show Format in the Format pane of the Table inspector.
I saw that the "cell format" was listed as "automatic," so I changed it to "Custom;" then left the new custom window at it's default settings. Now my cells would accept pasted info. without spreading it through the lower rows. Whatever automatic was in the table, it was not what I wanted. Doing this to other new cells, solved my problem. Thanks again.

Exporting Final Cut Pro Project to .wmv file format

I am a new apple owner and I am doing some editing on FCP. I would like to export my final project to a .wmv file format.
What would you recommend?

Autodesk Cleaner's codecs haven't really been updated in a long time. At $599.00, its a lot to spend for old technology - as for their WMV encoding, they use the WMV 7 codec.
The flip4mac and Popwire programs do a much better job and are more compatible with newer versions of Windows Media Player.
Or, as David Bogie Chq-1 said, you can use the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft if you have a Windows system.

Is it possible to format an USB device from Applet on ExFAT file format?

We have a requirement in our project to format an USB device from Applet on ExFAT file format. I am beginner in JavaFX2 and not sure whether this can be handeled using Applet. Can somebody hep me on this?
Thanks in Advance !!!!

The only way you could possibly do that is by using some native library (accessed with JNI/JNA), or by running somekind of command from Java (using for example Runtime.getRuntime().exec()).
There is no Java API to do as you want as Java in general provides only an abstractiion of the underlying system which is not detailed enough for this kind of low level functions.
