Import data from excel file

Hello.
Is anybody can help how to import data from excel file to the form created with designer 7.0. Originally there is a script inside the form to populate drop down list and depending from data selected in the ID number drop down list, there will be filled out the description and the prices text fields. But now I have to modify this form with data from excel file, which has more than 30000 lines and put all this data to script is too much.
So, can somebody know how can I after filling the ID number field , populate the description and price text fields with data from excel file corresponding to this ID number ?
This form is used in Adobe reader.
Any comments are welcome.
Regards,
Aivar

Hi
That's what i said in my prev. Post to clear cache... :)
disable your cache from nqsconfig.ini
In cache section of NQSConfig file,
you find
ENABLE = YES;
set to NO
OR
if you are using data ware house as the source for OBIEE,
you know that when ETL is done, so just create iBot to purge cache automatically at that particular intervals,
So that report runs freshly at that time
And what happened to your View Selector question?

Import data from excel file - best practice in the CQ?

Hi,
I have question related to importing data from excel file and creates from those data a table in the CQ page. Is inside CQ some OOTB component which provides this kind of functionalities? Maybe somebody implement this kind of functionality or there is best practice to do this kind of functionalities?
Thanks in advance for any answer,

You can check a working example package [1] (use your Adobe ID to log in)
After installing it, go to [2] for immediate example.
Unfortunately it only supports the old OLE-2 Excel format (.xls and not .xlsx)

Is it possibke to extract import data from excel file not csv type

I am getting training from somebody, who is telling me the excel file has to be type csv only to extract and import the excel data for creating infoobjects, is that true.
Please kindly provide steps, if any one has steps to extract the excel data while creating info object.
I am going thru an excersise for creating info objects, but while brining the excel csv file data to info objects do i again need to create each field column and its attributes etc.
Thank you all for the helpful info.

Hi
If you want to load data from excel to BW(Info Objects or data source), then file should be in excel format. to import the data system directly import it into excel sheet(normal one)
to load the data you should have all values and attributes in your excel sheet which you have created in BW system.

Best solution to import data from excel file

Hello,
I have a very large excel file with a list of companies in this format:
company_category company_name company_description telephone email
In InDesign I have paragraph style for each one but I need a solution to import all this data and apply the styles automatically.
Few things:
- I don't want to import all these into a table. I want all the info in a 3 text columns format that will run accros 150 pages (more or less)
- I'm using InDesign CS6
Is there any way to automate this?
Thanks

Save the exl files as a tab delimited txt file. Import this file in indesign and create a para style with 3 nested styles for each of the columns you need.

Java imports data from Excel-File

I try to read data from an Excel-File with a simple java program:
Connection c = null;
Statement stmtc = null;
try
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:excelTest0");
stmtc = c.createStatement();
String query = "select * from [Tabelle1$];";
ResultSet rsc = stmtc.executeQuery(query);
ResultSetMetaData rsmdc = rsc.getMetaData();
String temp="";
while( rsc.next() )
System.out.println(rsc.getString(rsmdc.getColumnName(1)));
rsc.close();
catch( Exception e ) {
everything works fine excepting the following:
my excel-file have one row with three values
1
2
3
after i read this three values from this file, java returns
1.0
2.0
3.0
that is not what i want!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want
1
2
3
what is the problem and how can i solve it???
thank you for reply

Follow my second method within a try block, catching NumberFormatException (or something like that...). This would not throw an exception if the value is a number. Else, it throws an exception and do nothing if the exception is thrown. For eg.,
String resultString;
try {
resultString = myResultSet.getString(1);
int i = Integer.parseInt(resultString);
System.out.println(i);
catch(NumberFormatException e)
//Here, u can handle resultString as a String object.
The same can be said of the number of rows in the excel sheet. If rs.getString(259089870) throws an exception, then it does not have a value there. Try all possible rows within a loop and u get out of the loop at the first ResultSet exception.

Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro

Hi All,
I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
          import java.io.File;
          import java.util.Date;
          import jxl.*;
         Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
          Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
String a1 = a1.getContents();
String b2 = b2.getContents();
String c2 = c2.getContents();
// perform operations on strings
However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
String a1 = null;
Double b2 = 0;
Date c2 = null;
                    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                    if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                       LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                       stringa1 = lc.getString();
                     if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                       NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                       numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                      if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                        DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                        datec2 = dc.getDate();
                       // operate on dates and doubles
It is recommended to, use the close() method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.
          // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
          workbook.close();
The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.

How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

hello everybody,
I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
Thank you in advance.
cheers,
shima

Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
Once done click 'Insert'

Error while importing data from excel to forms

Hi,
I am working on Oracle forms 10g, and I'm supposed to import data from excel sheet to forms.
While the user enters the data,sometimes after entering a particular word he/she hits the alt+enter button.
As a result the data appears in two lines in a single row
So,when I try to import the data it's not importing the data in a right manner.
S0,I want to replace this linefeed and carry with five spaces.
Eg:The user instead of entering Geekpedia enters Geek
pedia
in the excel sheet.
Now when I import this in the forms I want it to be imported as Geek Pedia.(5 spaces between Geek and pedia).

Maybe you can consider save excel as .csv files and then you can load them as flatfiles to external table in OWB.

Is there a way to import data from excel -when one of the columns in excel is hyperlink column?

Is there a way to import data from excel - so if a column is hyperlink - the whole data will move to the list (text + link of the hyperlink column)?
keren tsur

Hi,
According to your description, you want to export excel which contains a hyperlink column to SharePoint list.
Refer to the following steps:
Open the Excel, insert/create the table.
Now click on any cell of table and go to the ‘Design Tools’.
Click on the Export and then ‘Export table to SharePoint List’.
You will see a popup where you need to provide the URL of SharePoint site, list name and description.
Then click on next, On the next screen you will see columns with data types which are going to create in SharePoint list.
Now click finish and wait until the operation gets finished. You will see that list gets created in SharePoint site with the records.
Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

<b>Hi
i can explain you to read data from Excel file
First You have to download the jxl.jar file. You can get this file from the Below site
</b><a href="http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/download.html">jexcelapi jar</a>
It will be in Compressed Fromat So Unzip it to get the Contents
After Unzipping The File You will get a Folder (jexcelapi/jxl.jar)
Now in NWDS open web dynpro explorer, Right Click Your Project, a popup menu will appear and in that click Properties
You will get window displaying your Project Properties
On Left Side of the window You Will Find "Java Build Path"
Click That "Java Build Path" and you will get 4 Tabs Showing ( Source,Projects,Libraries,Order and Export)
Click Libraries Tab
You will find options many options buttons
In that click the Button "Add External Jars"
You will get Window in order to fecth the jxl.jar file from the location you had stored
After selecting the jxl.jar i will get displayed and click ok
Now Open Navigator
Open Your Project
You will find Lib folder
Copy the jxl.jar to that lib folder
Note : You cannot Read the Content from the excel file directly
First You Have to copy that file to the Server,
And from the Server you can get the file absolute path
With the absolute path you can read the contents of the Excel file
You have to save the Excel file as .xls Format and Not as xlsx format i will not accept that...
You have Upload the Excel file from the Server Using the File Upload UI Element
This Coding will extract 3 columns from the Xls File

Import data from excel

Hi, I am using Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.1.5.0 and I want to import data from excel in my table through the jsf page and commit it to database. How can I implement it. Its urgent please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you are importing Excel data to save a dying patient in the operating theatre, it's not, by definition, urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and I must be right, because I used 22 exclamation points, where you only used 21).
Have you looked at ADF Desktop Integration to see if that would work for you? If not, you could:
1). Use an af:inputFile to upload the Excel file
2). Using something like Apache POI to read the file
3). Create rows, set the attributes, insert them, and commit them (if you're using ADF BC, you'd use a View Object to do this)

Giving dynamic sheet name while importing data from Excel in OPENROWSET query

I want to import data from Excel to table in SQL server. Sheets in Excel file can have any name. I want to get data from first sheet of the excel file.
CREATE PROC CopyExcelDataToTempTable
@ExcelPath VARCHAR(1000)
AS
BEGIN
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1;
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1;
INSERT INTO TempData
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
SELECT CONCAT('Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=', @ExcelPath),
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]');
END;
Currently I am giving Sheet1 as static name in Select statement. But my sheet name is not fixed. I want to create a dynamic query. If getting Sheet name is not possible then can we put sheet with its index in Select query? There is no front end. Whatever I
want to do is in SQL server 2012. Is there any solution for this problem?

Hi Ajinkya,
To get the sheet names from an excel, you can use the Stored Procedure
SP_TABLES_EX. See the below code.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ExcelSource', '',
'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'c:\worksheet.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 8.0'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelSource', 'false'
GO
EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'ExcelSource'
the names in the worksheet.xls and execute result are like below.
Table name
a
b
c
d
Regarding your description, you need the first sheet of your excel. As the result shows, the sheet names are sorted, so there’s no guarantee to get the first one. The SP can work as a workaround when there’s only one sheet in your excel or the required sheet’s
name is customized to be sorted at the top first.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Eric Zhang

Importing data from excel ... when clicking finish button nothing happens

Version 3.1/32bit version ... I am trying to import data from excel but when i clicki finish button nothing happens. any idea. this used to work fine on the older version?

Hi,
Generally speaking, the data import from an xls or xlsx format Excel file works. You need to provide more information about your environment and the Excel file itself -- size, data types of the columns, number of worksheets, etc.
I recommend running sqldeveloper.exe (not sqldeveloperW.exe) from a command line window. Repeat your import test and see if any stack trace appears in the console. For example, trying to open a 0 byte xls file results in a stack trace like this:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.dbtools.raptor.data.readers.XLSReader.openFile(XLSReader.java: 524)
