HTML formate excel files

Hi,
I just recognized that the excel files which I can download from my OBI/Answers reports or which I used to send to customers are HTML formated excel files. I also found a remark in the Oracle OBI documentation.
Now my problem ...those files are much bigger then the ordinary excel files. Opening those files and saving them again as pure excel decreases the size by the factor 10x.
Unluckily some of those files a bigger then 10MB which is the size limit of mails of our mail server. My question is there a way to create normal, non-html formatted excel files (especially for sending them)?
Thanks.

The link is very helpful but unluckily it is no solution (maybe there is no solution). If the excel file is in MHTML format it is much too big ...on the other hand it needs to be Excel 2003. So finally the question is still whether it is possible to get am Excel 2003 file without MHTML?

Format excel file when it is downloaded

How to format excel file when it downloaded from SAP table

Hi,
In my opinion this would not be straight forward . Actully there are two possibilities :
1. Create a dynamic itab with the structure as you desire in your requirement. But is it possible to have a itab where each row has a different structure. ? experts pls comment on this. ( extract & field group concepts are used to acheive the different structures for each line ).
2. The more possible way i feel is to use the OLE excel concepts. Here we can add data to the excel sheet as wanted by you. Pls check for a beginners article by Rehan Zaidi ( SAP tips ).
In this case you can keep on adding values to the excel ( may be in a loop over your data table ) . For ex : you can add the title Annual Price Book for Program - B4, then the customer & date data & finally the material data. This needs to be repeated again for the next Sales order.

Yes the report painter report especially in the hierarchial format will not make much sense when you download to excel. Until now I also have not seen any solution to this.

User specified formatted Excel File

Hello all,
this forum has been extremely helpful to me earlier...i'm hoping for
the same this time around.
here is my query:
I need to write information to an Excel file in a formatted fashion,
as usual i'm using open book, open sheet, set value with range... i
would like to format the data that i read from the PLC in to the EXCEL
file in a specified manner is there a way to do this...
date on the first row,
columns seperated by colons ":" and then column names and the
respective data below them...
thanks,
cheers,
-U

Try using the format into string function in the string subpalette. This will allow you to enter all of your inputs and build a string to write to file. You can use string constant to create the ":" and you can use a variety of tabs, end of lines, etc. to build the string the way you want. If you have LV 7 you can use the Build Text express vi. This will allow you to format easier with a nice property page. The drawback with using the build text is a limit of 8 inputs. The format into string will allow more than 8. Hope this helps.

Can't place formatted Excel file into ID?

Can't place formatted Excel 2010 data base into InDesign CS5 on Mac? Won't place into newest version of ID either. Will place if I unmerge cells first, but I need thousands of the cells to be merged.

I thought you might want to do that. No, once a PDF you can't edit to your heart's content.
So, as to the matter of thousands of cells? You may have to look that one up but there is a limit on what you can do with an Excel file and InDesign; there are only so many cells, columns and rows that can be imported and let alone worked on inside InDesign.
And you want to merge the cells in InDesign? What ever for? If thousands of cells then edit in Excel to your heart's content and output a PDF. InDesign is not designed as a spreadsheet and not the tool you need and will really bog down with thousands of cells to merge. Just do it in Excel.

Remove Email Addresses From a Formatted Excel File

I have an excel file that has some formatting in it that I
would like to preserve (some cells have background color, etc). I'd
like to remove a list of email addresses from this file. My first
thought is to use cffile with action read, use the following in a
cfloop: replace(emailAddressToDelete,
excelFileVarCreatedFromCffileRead) and then save it back to excel
format with cffile using action write. I tried this and the Excel
file would not open. The error was:
test.xls cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or
you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server
the document is stored on may not be responding.
I'm guessing something went wrong in the process of reading
and writing the files contents and it's not as simple as I want to
make it. Anyone have something to tell me that might help me remove
email addresses from a formatted Excel spreadsheet?

Yup, .xls is a proprietary encrypted file format and
<cffile.... is not
going to be able to successfully read and modify it's
content. You can
copy it or move it, but not modify it with <cffile...>
If the file format was a plain text such as .txt or .csv you
could do
what you are thinking about, but then you would probably not
have the
proprietary excel formating in the file.
I've heard about the POI library that allows some native
Excel access
and such, but I am not knowledgeable in its ins and outs.

Read from Excel file in SP2013

I have a requirement to read data from a formatted Excel file which is located in a document library, and put the contents in a List via code. This functionality should check - if he record exists update the list item, if not create a new list

You might want to look at Excel Services and use the .../_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee556820.ASPX
This will allow an ajax call in the browser or web request to return Xml. To ease access to content within Excel file setup Named Ranges. http://development002/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/MDRDocuments/c.xlsx/model/Ranges('MyNamedRange')
Hope this helps.
If looking to access Excel server-side use the OpenXML API, but avoid
accessing the physical hard drive; put the Excel document in SharePoint.

Any way to export table to excel file with leading 0s?

I have to export about 50 excel files from different tables. Some tables contain leading 0s in the columns. If I use bcp to export to xls file, the leading 0s will be missing. If bcp to csv or txt file, there will be no issue at all. But I have to export to xls file in order to let client update that xls file and reload to tables again.
Is there any other ways to do this task?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I played with it and fixed it on mine to work.
Here is what you do. Create a blank Excel file in Excel with a single header row with your column names in it, and then set the datatypes for each column in Excel to match your export type. For the below, create an Excel file and in column A1, put "Name" and change the column to Type Text. Then in B1 type Date and set it to type Date, then save the file as c:\Test.xls. Then close the file in Excel.
In SSMS execute the following:
Code Snippet
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\test.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT Name, Date FROM [Sheet1$]')
SELECT [Name], GETDATE() FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs
GO
It worked perfectly in my environment. Don't bother with BCP, just create a formated Excel File with a header row with your output column names and then save it.

Output report data to excel file format or csv format

Is there any way to save softcopy of report output to excel file format or csv format.

Hi,
Regarding csv file format, i have no issues. The file is generating without any issues in using oracle reports without using any PL/SQL code.
My requirement is to design oracle reports to generate excel (.xls) file with multiple worksheets. Each sheets are having many data and graphs(chart).
Using oracle reports alone, how to achieve this.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version, I tried by creating .rdf file but, it is generating single worksheet only.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 ver, I tried by creating .jsp file. For this first i am creating excel template about how my ouput column headings all that going to be with one sample hard coded data and save the excel file as web page.
Eg employee.html.
Next open the html file in oracle reports builder and double click the websource now, you will see the jsp tags, html and xml tags. Now include the contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel " and charset also.
Next, include the <rw:foreach id="G_EMPNO_1" src="G_EMPNO">
here insert the fieldl for each column by removing the hard coded values.
close the tag
</rw:foreach>
Save the file as .jsp and deploy it in oc4 enabled folder (say, devsuite_home/reports/j2ee/reports_ids/web
Start the oc4J server
Run it in the browser http://server:port/reports/emp.jsp?useride=uid/pwd@db
It is invoking the Microsoft excel with 3 sheets default and my emp table output in the first page.
We can save this output file as .xls file by clicking file -> save as.
1) The question is, it is working fine with Microsoft excel 97-2003 version. But for excel 2007, i am not able to create single html file like how 2003 save web page option.
2) I found this in oracle getting started demo
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Which is more useful. This is what i am looking for.
I done that in excel 2003 as per demo. But excel 2007 with reports 10g issues.
Is there any demo for 10g with excel 2007
3) For most of excel issues working fine with excel 2003 and 10g. But excel 2007 with 10g reports are issues.
I want the excel output from oracle reports with multiple worksheet similar to the above demo.
Thank you.

Excel files are saved as HTML files

Hi All,
I am saving the output files into a shared location in excel or csv format. However when i ask the users/business to have a look into it then they say that the files are opening as html web page and not able to load properly.
I checked it myself and found it true, all the xls and csv files are saved with .xls and .csv format only but when i try to open it and do as 'save as' then it by default tries to save it as a webpage. Is there any way i can correct this so the file is actually saved as xls only.
Please suggest
Thanks
Ronny

Hi Gareth,
I am using BI Publiser to ftp my report to the shared location. This is what it involves
[1] build the report in BIP
[2] while scheduling the report in BIP use sftp option to save the output file to the shared location
this is simple process to export the files to the desired location. Now while doing that ...i choose the output format ( template format) as excel and give the extension of the file as .xls.
The files does get saved as xls file but then when i try to save that agian to another location by opening it than it, by default , tries to save it as web page ....similarly when i ask business to have a look at the output files and when they open it than it opens as a web page .....wheareas it should be an excel file ..
Please revert if you require more elaborate explanation
Thanks
Ronny
