Query on Export to Excel- Help needed

Hi All,
I wanted to know if we can set a hidden field value when user clicks on the "export to excel" link in the reports.
I am using the Apex Export feature itself. Is it possible to set an item value when user clicks on the link?
If yes then how can we do it? If no can you please let me know the other options available?
Thanks,
Sumana

Thanks Denes!
I understood how to trigger the process on click of the export to csv link. As of now i will implement that in my application..
I just wanted to know if "the" dialog box could be controlled.
But later maybe,( if my client really needs it...), I will have to use my custom export to excel option. I have even downloaded your download-excel.
But it says that it cant be used for pl/sql returning function....
Is there a workaround on that?
And I will tell you the difference it makes to my application.
Current Requirement: I need to track the information (for e.g say user id's) that have been sold to a customer. I am doing this by inserting the data exported by user to the table. This must happen only when user saves the file. Only when user saves the file, the information is considered as "Slod".
Now if the user click on export to csv link but simply opens or cancels the file download, that information is not considered as "Sold"
Hence my need, that i could control the dialog box. Hope this clears your doubt.

Sumana

Query on Export to Excel

Hi All,
I need some suggestions in using "Export to CSV"
Situation is as follows:
I have a report that gets dispalyed based on many search condiitions. Once the report is dispalyed, and the user clicks on Export to CSV link, i set a hidden item value as 1. My CSV link looks like this(I use this instead of the custom #CSV_LINK#) -
href="f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_#REGION_ID#_en-us:::P0_capture_export:1:" >Export to Spreadsheet
Based on this value I have written a pl/sql process that inserts data into table. If this has to be executed, the page needs to be submitted if i select process point as "On Submit". Or the page needs to be reloaded if i select process point as "On Load".
But the problem is that, when user clikcs on "export to csv link" the page is not submitted, and neither is it reloaded.
I need the page to be submitted only after the file dialog box appears.
Any idea how this can be achieved? I tried Javascript reload. This only reloads the page and ignores the "Export request".
Please help. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Sumana

Sumana,
What you may want to try is to have your custom link submit the page, run your onSubmit process, and then re-direct to another page where you could roll your own CSV export procedure and execute that in a before header process.
You can use the same item references on the second page, so that your exported report has the same data as your displayed report.
See my blog posting on creating custom CSV exports here: http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html

I run some queries every day and export to an excel file and send by email every day, there is any way to make it automatic?
Do anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks,

You can use Dump_Csv developed by tom kyte. Below is the code that i modified for my requirement.
create or replace function dump_csv( p_query in varchar2,
 p_separator in varchar2
 default ',',
 p_dir in varchar2 ,
 p_filename in varchar2 )
return number
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
is
 l_output utl_file.file_type;
 l_theCursor integer default dbms_sql.open_cursor;
 l_columnValue varchar2(2000);
 l_status integer;
 l_colCnt number default 0;
 l_separator varchar2(10) default '';
 l_cnt number default 0;
 l_colDesc dbms_sql.DESC_TAB;
begin
 l_output := utl_file.fopen( p_dir, p_filename, 'w' );
 dbms_sql.parse( l_theCursor, p_query, dbms_sql.native );
 for i in 1 .. 255 loop
 begin
 dbms_sql.define_column( l_theCursor, i,
 l_columnValue, 2000 );
 l_colCnt := i;
 exception
 when others then
 if ( sqlcode = -1007 ) then exit;
 else
 raise;
 end if;
 end;
 end loop;
 dbms_sql.define_column( l_theCursor, 1, l_columnValue, 2000 );
 l_status := dbms_sql.execute(l_theCursor);
 dbms_sql.describe_columns(l_theCursor,l_colCnt, l_colDesc);
 l_separator := '';
 for lColCnt in 1..l_colCnt
 loop
 utl_file.put( l_output, l_separator || '"' || Upper(l_colDesc(lColCnt).col_name) || '"');
 l_separator := p_separator;
 end loop;
 utl_file.new_line( l_output );
 loop
 exit when ( dbms_sql.fetch_rows(l_theCursor) <= 0 );
 l_separator := '';
 for i in 1 .. l_colCnt loop
 dbms_sql.column_value( l_theCursor, i,
 l_columnValue );
 utl_file.put( l_output, l_separator || '"' ||
 l_columnValue || '"');
 l_separator := p_separator;
 end loop;
 utl_file.new_line( l_output );
 l_cnt := l_cnt+1;
 end loop;
 dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_theCursor);
 utl_file.fclose( l_output );
 return l_cnt;
end dump_csv;Thanks,

3-d array to xlsx file (excel) - help needed

Hi guys,
i've a question for you...
i would save an excel file (.xlsx) having as input my 3-d array...i would that first dimension are my excel worksheets and then the other 2 dimensions are the data inside each worksheet.
I know that there is the report generation toolkit, and i would use it....but i don't know in which way
could you help me?
Many thanks and nice holidays!
PS: i use labview 2009

Go here and click the Download button.
It's pretty easy to use and the VIs are very straightforward. You probably want the Excel Specific VIs Excel Easy Table and Excel Add Worksheet.
Report back after you've played around with the toolkit a bit.
As far as the 3D array goes, you're going to want the first subarray to be the worksheets (it will actually be a 1D array of worksheet names, right?), so you would index your array twice to get a 1D array of strings.
Next to get each set of data, you're going to get the Index 1 value from the array and so on. Index 1 will be a 2D array data for the first worksheet, Index 2 will be the next 2D array and so on.

Query about previous days..Help needed

Hi,
I have a scneario in which I want to get the sunday's date for 5 weeks after today's date as
expiry date.
i.e., If this sunday is '14-Sep-08' expiry date will be '19-Oct-08'
(As it is 5 weeks ahead of the present sunday)
I am getting this as NEXT_DAY(SYSDATE,'SUNDAY')+35;
Now, I need to get the expiry date for the previous sunday.
How can I acheive this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raghu

No, because it's easily doable with next day:
-- Next Sunday (excluding today if today is Sunday):
select trunc(next_day(sysdate, 'SUNDAY')) next_sunday from dual;
NEXT_SUNDAY
14/09/2008
-- Last Sunday (= today if today is Sunday):
select trunc(next_day(sysdate-7, 'SUNDAY')) last_sunday from dual;
LAST_SUNDAY
07/09/2008NB: If you're wanting next sunday to display today's date if today is Sunday, then subtract 1 from the date you're doing the next_day on, eg:
select next_day(to_date('14/09/2008', 'dd/mm/yyyy'), 'SUNDAY') next_sun_excl_today,
       next_day(to_date('14/09/2008', 'dd/mm/yyyy') -1, 'SUNDAY') next_sun_incl_today
from dual;
NEXT_SUN_EXCL_TODAY     NEXT_SUN_INCL_TODAY
21/09/2008     14/09/2008

QuickTime - Save Export Settings - script help needed

Currently I am using Panther 10.3.9 - with QT PRO 7.02 - ( I do not want to
upgrade to Tiger at this time unfortunately)...
* MY GOAL: to be able to save export preferences in QuickTime pro.
Since QuickTime does not seem to be able to save export presets... I
downloaded the the script collection from
From: Scriptable Applications: Quicktime Player
Location: http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
and created export settings and tried ....
Save Export Settings.scpt
... but the file that got saved will not open in QT PRO - OSX and wants to
open something from old os9....
what do I do?

= = = (see scripts below)
* here is my basic workflow ...
- load a QuickTime movie
- adjust the QuickTime movie export settings
- save a test copy ( validating the settings)
- run the "save export settings.scpt" with name "set1test"
Then
- open and run the "Export QuickTime movie.scpt" with the name " test movie"
- run the new test movie - and when I check info - it does NOT reflect the desired settings...
= = =
One issue is - this line...
export movie 1 to new_file as QuickTime movie using settings "set1test"
... It doesn't seem to care what the settings file name is - and if I change that name to a nonexistent name - it still exports the movie without an error.... Therefore it leads me to believe that it's not using it to begin with....
- another issue is that the settings file "set1test" says it is the kind = "QuickTime settings document" - however it has a blank icon in the Finder - and there does not seem to be any way to open the file with QuickTime 7.02 - and it can to open something classic mode when I double click on it.
= = = the Save settings script...
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
try
if not (exists movie 1) then error "No movies are open."
stop every movie
set the target_file to choose file name with prompt "name & location for the QT settings file:"
save export settings movie 1 for QuickTime movie to target_file with replacing

Export to Excel - data with leading zeros

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for running a query then exporting to Excel without dropping leading zeros from the data?
Examples: numeric Item codes with leading zeros, telephone numbers that have been entered with no spaces.
Regards,
Douglas McDove


I liked the challenge and therefore.......I got this for you

SELECT CHAR(28) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(29) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(30) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(31) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
Any of the above 4 should work. T0.CardCode is the database field I tested, you can substitute this with any database field and it should work.

Help needed in Export to Excel

Hi All,
I needed some clarifications/suggestions on using the export to excel.
1) When I click on export to excel, a <div> tag also gets exported. I came to know that this is becuse of selecting the "Enable Partail Page Refresh" to Yes. Now, I have pagination in my reports and I also need to export to CSV/Excel. Is there no way where in I can use PPR as well as export the report without the DIV tag?
2) I have a number column to which I have given APEX inbuilt hyperlinks. When I do an export the columns where I have given these links do not get Exported. Any way to overcome this? I cant give links in SQL query as then all number formatting would be lost.
3) In my report display I have colspan = "2" for some alternate rows. In my excel output I obtain these correctly but without colspan. Is it possible to merge the cells in excel output wherever there is colspan="2"? Or am I asking too much?
Any suggestions would be welcome. Please let me know what can be done to solve this.

Hi
One solution which I've used before is to have a separate page for the export. Have a report on that page that uses the same query as the actual report (including any filters based on page items) and set the report to use the Export: CSV template. The Export link on the original page needs to be removed and replaced with a link to the new page. When you click the new link, the page opens as a download file automatically.
This way, you don't need to worry about pagination and you can use different fields on your export.

Hyperion Workspace Financial Reporting Export to Excel Query-Ready Missing

Hyperion Workspace Financial Reporting Export to Excel "Query-Ready" option is Missing in the dropdown when you go to File>Export>Excel
Only the "Fully Formatted" option is available.
From what I recall this option for a "query-ready" export should be available from the HTML preview?
Is there something in configuration that needs to be enabled or something that needs to be checked on to get this option?
We are running 11.1.1.3
The Query-Ready option is available when exporting forms in Planning.
When opening Financial Reports in Smartview the option for "Query-Ready" is available.
For some reason this is not showing up in workspace, does it not exist in 11.1.1.3? Is this a bug?
TIA

Hi,
The option to export the financial report output in "Query-Ready" format is actually at the bottom right hand corner of the report page (look at the report footer) instead of File>Export>Excel.
Hope this helps

Export to Excel is not working for List View Web Part after filtering using Query String parameters in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I am filtering SharePoint list view web part based on Query string parameter and I am doing Export to Excel by using following code.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.location='../_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=0DC67399-BE11-48F3-ADFC-E911FB8B5845&View=54671412-3EFE-4281-835A-9EF747AE774E&CacheControl=1'"><img
alt="Excel" src="/_layouts/images/icxlsx.gif" border="0"/> Export to Excel</a>
Issue: Able to do Export to Excel when there are no filters applied on list view web part but if applied filters on web part and do export to excel , only header fields are displaying in the excel sheet.
I don't know why owssvr.dll is behaving like that .
Please share your ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create hyperlink to export to excel.
The URL to execute the export is as follows:
{Site URL}/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List={List GUID}&View={View GUID}&CacheControl=1
After getting the GUID, you need to “decode” the list GUID.
Replace %7B with {
Replace %2D with –
Replace %7D with }
