Possible cause of "Cannot open Excel file error"?

Hi!
Here's my problem: one of our LabView applications creates .xls Excel
files. However some of these files are too big to be opened into
Excel, so we need to open these files in DIAdem to analyse the data (in
fact, even the smaller ones often need to be analysed in DIAdem).
The problem is that DIAdem seems totally unable to open Excel files,
small or big, created by our LabView application or not. The
error message appearing when we try to import Excel files is "Cannot
open Excel file"... which doesn't give any clue about the cause of the
error. My question is: what may cause this error to
occur? I searched both the help and the website without finding
useful information.
The computer is running on WinXP with OfficeXP installed, and we are
using DIAdem 9.0. If additionnal information is required, just
let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Maxime B.

Hi!
I did some experiments this morning. First of all, the file I had
created using Excel that I tried to open yesterday just opened. I
don't know why it didn't work yesterday, but, for now, it's
working. Now, for my LabView-created files, I still get the same
error message. However, if I open the files in Excel and try to
save, a warning message appears, saying that the file may not be
compatible with the text (separator:tabulation) format. If I
ignore the warning and save the file as a .xls file, I can now import
it into DIAdem. The problem is probably that my LabView-created
files are not "real" .xls files. Now, this is a problem, because
I can't open some of the bigger files in Excel without having the data
truncated (Excel has a maximum of 65536 rows); last year, using DIAdem
8.X (I don't remember the exact version we had), I could open those
files without any trouble... Is there any way to get those files to be
opened with DIAdem 9.0? I attached one of those files if it may help.
Thanks!

Importing excel files - problem with single quote

When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
REM Error report:
REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
REM *Cause:
REM *Action:
One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Steve

Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
Thanks

How import excel file as data sorce in OBISE Physical layer correctly?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to import an excel file as data source in OBISE Physical layer. I create the ODBC that link the correct file (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html#t1)
than imported the Excel using the import from database tool in the Oracle BI Adminstration. I see the Excel but i can't see data in it. Can you help me, please? I'm new in this.

Did you enter a range in excel file?
The range represents table name in the physical layer after you import excel file.
See in this blog example:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/06/obiee-excel-import-prepping-data.html
Did you use import from database and select excel data source that you created in ODBC?
I did the same and works for me.
Save repository first and view data and check connection pool/data source name in your excel database folder.

"DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE" Error while importing Excel File

Hello,
I am getting following error while importing data from Excel 2003 to SQL server using SSIS 2008, [Excel Source [1]] Error: There was an error with output "Excel Source Output" (9) on component "Excel Source" (1). The column status
returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
If i open the excel file and done any editing then the same file loads without any issue. Can you guide me why it's happening ? , i have edited "TypeGuessRow" property to 0 , IMEX = 1 but no help.
Thanks

Hi Ved_Prakash,
The error is generic and can occur due to various causes. In order to troubleshoot this issue, I need to clarify some information:
Could you please post some sample data for that column in the error message?
Have you modify some properties after accessing data from that Excel file?
Since the error message is incomplete, could you post other error messages from the Output pane？
Besides, we can also use
SQL Server Import Export Wizard to import Excel into SQL Server database.

Missing Font in Imported Excel File

I keep getting a "missing font" preflight error on an imported Excel chart placed into Indesign. Indesign CS4 wants me to apply a different font to the original file in Excel. The font in the original file is Arial. And Arial has been "installed" correctly. Not sure exactly why I keep getting this error. I've also tried changing the font to something else and I get the same error. Its as if the "Arial" Excel uses is not the same "Arial" that Adobe uses.
This is how I'm importing the Excel chart. I used the Adobe Acrobat distiller to convert the XLS to a PDF. Then I place the PDF file where I need it in my Indesign document. I export the file as a PDF because its easier to work with since I don't need to make any changes to the chart itself. I also find that Indesign doesn't like working with bigger Excel files for example, the selection box doesn't include the entire chart and its difficult to adjust the cells since Indesign adjusts the cell widths to be more narrow. If I import it as an unformated table, everything looks terrible and I end up spending so much time trying to get the chart to look the way I want it to.
Anyone having the same issues? I'll thinking about just ignoring the preflight warning as I can't find a way around this.

Basically I create the chart in Excel with the font "Arial", I then use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button on the top of the toolbar. It does it's process of converting it then acrobat will open and show me the converted file. The file looks just the way it did in Excel which is what I want. I'm not exactly sure how to embed the font during this process. To me it seems that it should automatically do that when acrobat converts the file. I then "Place" the file into my Indesign document. Once placed the chart looks perfect and there are no highlighted missing font fields. Its just when I do a preflight check is when the error message appears.

Importing Excel Files and Formatting Issues

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. When in doubt, post in the forum! Anyway, I am using java via ODBC to connect to an excel file to extract some info from it, using SQL statements. Everything can be extracted without any problems, however, Excel keeps pi$$ing me off by changing the format of the cell data.
Firstly, I highlight every cell in my Excel file and format it as "Text."
Then I extract the cell info by using a ResultSet and getting a String (even for numeric data - ResultSet.getString(...))
What is getting on my nerves is that not only does it not extract numeric values followed by a string, when it does extract numeric values, it is adding a ".0" after the value.
For example, if the cell value is 123, it will return 123.0
If the cell value is 123SHOE, it returns null
Furthemore, when editing the Excel file, after having every cell formatted as "Text," if I enter a number, say, as a zipcode, 123450000, it brings up an error! But the very definition of "Text" states that "Text format cells are treated as text even when a number is in the cell."
The moral of the story is, I want to convert all data in the Excel file to "Text" and when extracting data from the file, I need to be able to extract numbers, numbers followed by characters, and everything else.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much,
Josh

Hey Dr. Clap, quick question for ya. I was checking out the Apache POI you recommended. More specifically HSSF. I noticed in the documentation that "String cells cannot conatin numbers and numeric cells cannot contain strings." Unfortunately, this is not going to work well with my app as some of the primary keys (I use the term loosely) are Strings which contain numbers. My main problem is that my app wont recognize the Strings containing numbers, so it returns null, and Excel is chopping off the leading zeroes and is popping up with an error because numbers are in the String. However, as I stated before, Excel notes that text cells can contain numbers!
FYI, I am using Pervasive SQL to extract a given list of users in a DB (which I dont want to connect to directly) and am saving that generated query (list of users) into a text file. I then open the text file in Excel which parses it correctly and assigns the cells the correct values. So I don't think I can format the cells as text because I am importing the file I generate. I love doing things ass backwards :) Another reason I am using Excel files is so anyone can use the software so long as they have an Excel file with the appropriate columns within the file.
Thanks yet again and I'll keep searching.
Josh

Import Excel file into SQL, using bulk copy - date issues

Hello. I have a VB project where I need to import multiple excel files with lots of rows and columns into SQL 2012. Currently the import is set up, using OleDbConnection and insert commands and it takes up to 10 minutes to process all the spreadsheets.
I'm trying to switch the code to use SQLBulkCopy, but experienced issues with dates columns. Some rows have Null dates and those are interpreted as strings and won't import into SQL tables. Is there a way to format the column prior to import programmatically?
Any advice is appreciated.
Note -
If I add column mapping and exclude all dates columns - import works fine. All excel files have date fields, excel files are reports from other vendor and change on weekly bases, manual formatting of the excel files prior to import are out of the question...
The code is just basic:
Public Sub ImportFormExcelSample()
Dim ExcelConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcelSpreadsheet.xlsx;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=Yes""")
ExcelConnection.Open()
Dim expr As String = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"
Dim objCmdSelect As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(expr, ExcelConnection)
Dim objDR As OleDbDataReader
Dim SQLconn As New SqlConnection()
Dim ConnString As String = "Data Source=MMSQL1;Initial Catalog=DbName; User Id=UserName; Password=password;"
SQLconn.ConnectionString = ConnString
SQLconn.Open()
Using bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(SQLconn)
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "TableToWriteToInSQLSERVER"
Try
objDR = objCmdSelect.ExecuteReader
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(objDR)
objDR.Close()
SQLconn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Using
End Sub
The error I get is System.InvalidOperatiomException: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type date of the specified target column. System.FormatException: Failed to convert parameter value from String to a DateTime...
Thank you!

Hi Alla,
This issue might be caused because the field contains a NULL value, but the date/time columns in your table does not allow NULL values. Furthermore, please aslo take a look at "Data Type Issues" session in the article below:
