Saving excel file as .csv via OLE program

Hi all,
in my abap OLE program i'd like to save an excel file as .csv file with ";" separator according to the frontend settings. Unfortunately the file is saved with "," separator (and not ";").
Here is the code:
<<...
     call method of e_newappl 'SAVEAS'
     exporting
       #1 = path
       #2 = '23' ....>>
I also tried 6, 22, 24 as #2 parameter values, with the same result. Running the program in differents workstations (all with ";" separator in the general settings) sometimes i get a file with ";" and sometimes with ",".
Is there a way to always get the .csv file with ";"? Or at least to check what separator will be used?
Thanks for replies.

hi,
please check this similar thread for the answer

thanks

How to save an excel file as CSV with semi-colon as data separator?

We are creating a flat data file to load the flat file data to our BW system with Excel. When we save the file, there are three kinds of CSV types for selecting from the "Save as type" list box:
CSV (Comma delimited)
CSV (Macintosh)
CSV (MS-DOS)
There is no CSV (semi colon delimited) type. If we pick CSV (Comma delimted) as the type, then when clicking the "Preview ..." picture icon under the "DataSource/Trans. Structure" tab of the InfoSource for this flat file (with the CSV radio button checked the Data separator default is ";"), the File Upload Preview window shows the data is messed up that some columns of the excel flat file are combined into one column.
Since the save type we picked is "CSV (Comma delimited)", then we try to change the default Data separator from ";" to "," in the preview selection screen, but still not helpful!
How to resolve the above problem?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
This "," is defined in your windows setting. If you want to have ";" as separator then go to control Panel, select Regional Options, go to Numbers Tab and define the List separator as ";". After that when you will save your excel file as CSV(MS-DOS) it will have ";" as separator. This will make sure that the amounts are not broken in to two different fields while loading.
Else if you keep "," as separator then you can also go into the Excel and define all number fields as Number without thousand separator.
Let me know if you have any doubts in this.
Regards,
Rohit

Saving excel file attachment on phone

Saving Excel Files to CD-RW

For some years now I've been able to insert a CD-RW disc, double click on an Excel file stored there, open the file, edit the file, then simply resave the file under the same file name back onto the CD-RW disc.
Seemingly, suddenly I am no longer able to do that. Now when I double click on the Excel file, it opens as "Read Only". After I make my edits, the system wants me to save under a new file name because the file is "Read Only". When I do that, the system now "saves" the file to a temporary burn folder rather than writing the file to the disc. I then burn the file to the disc and a new file is added under the new name.
I could probably handle the extra step of burning the file to the CD-RW everytime but I simply want to overwrite the previous file, not fill up the disc with new files everytime.
How do I get back to inserting the disc, opening the file, editing the file and saving the file to the disc, then being able to repeat all of that but rewriting the file not creating a new one everytime? I'm sure that I am missing something fundamental in how writing to CD-RWs works.
Thank you.

Retrieve online file as CSV via HTTPS using PL/SQL procedure

Hi all,
Situation:
Server A (not ORACLE)_: accesed via URL, generates dynamically a CSV file and returns to the requestor.
Server B (ORACLE)_: which runs the PL/SQL script. It is the requestor. Read the CSV and store it within ORACLE.
(1) I want to connect from Server B (ORACLE) to an external URL via HTTPS which generates dynamically the CSV file. Subdomain.domain it is the Server A which contains this CSV file.
https://dubdomain.domain/csv_generator.php?query=q1
(2) This file is downloaded to the Server B (ORACLE). A PL/SQL script executed in this machine do the task.
(3) After that, I load this CSV to an ORACLE table which a common CSV PL/SQL parser.
Doubts:
Is it possible to retrieve an online file (a CSV) dynamically created and hosted in a third party server (Not ORACLE) via HTTPS using a PL/SQL procedure executed in a ORACLE server? If the answer is yes, what technology could I use? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Yago

An CSV example in {message:id=10158148}.
For https, two actions are needed in addition.
Firstly, the certificate of the https web server needs to be loaded in an Oracle Wallet on your database server. The wallet will have a specific directory location on the server, and will be protected by a password.
Secondly, the PL/SQL procedure making web call, needs to open the wallet (using <i>UTL_HTTP.set_wallet</i>) using the location and password. Example of that in {message:id=10820182}.

How to Read data from excel file without converting a excel file into .csv or any other format

Hello,
Can somebody suggest me how to read from an excel file (consisting of 10 work sheets) to an array?
Thanks,
She

You have to be careful when using the spreadsheet-files vi's. They are located in the Functions Palette under File IO, you will find "Write To / Read From Spreadsheet File.vi"s.
Here is what the Context Help says about the vi function:
"Reads a specified number of lines or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards. You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI calls the Spreadsheet String to Array function to convert the data. "
This is quick & easy when the spreadsheet is all the same format. You can set the format to string as well. HOWEVER... you do have to convert the Excel spreadsheet to text before using it.
I haven't experimented with the Active-X, but it may look as the way to go if you have combination text / numeric values in the spreadsheet.
If you did convert it to text, then you can use array functions as well and treating the file as an array of strings (see very brief example attached). The example is to illustrate a point only

App open Excel file using CSV format

Actually I would like to find app open Excel file and add some date and save it again under CSV format

Numbers will do that (using the export function). I'm sure many other Excel compatible apps will as well, but you will need to read the app store descriptions to verify. (I can verify that Quick Office does NOT).

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.

Hi,
You can do something like this:
From the navigator view in NWDS, create a new file, say "TableData.csv" under src/mimes/Components/<your component>/TableData.csv.
Say your context looks like this:
-Root
--Texts(value node, datasource for your table)
---Msg(value attribute, bound to 1st column of table)
---Msg2(value attribute, bound to 2nd column of table)
In the event handler for send button, use a code like this:
String path = null;
try {
path = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(
wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),
"TableData.csv");
} catch (WDAliasResolvingException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e2.printStackTrace();
try {
FileWriter f = new FileWriter(path);
BufferedWriter b = new BufferedWriter(f);
IWDNode tableNode = wdContext.nodeTexts();
for(int i = 0; i < tableNode.size(); i++){
IWDNodeElement currElem = tableNode.getElementAt(i);
b.write(currElem.getAttributeValue("Msg").toString());
b.write(",");
b.write(currElem.getAttributeValue("Msg2").toString());
b.write(",");
b.newLine();
b.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getMessage(),true);
See your other thread.

Problem saving Excel files sent in mail

This problem is since I upgraded to Maverick.
I receive an Excel file ( file.xls ) in Mail as an attachment and when I try to save there is an existing file with the same name it then ask if I want to replace it and I answer Yes. The problem is is does not replace the file and I dont get any error messages. I must delete the old version of the file first then save the new version. I dont know if it is Mail or Excel that has a problem with Maverick. Doe anybody else have this problem?

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, but with text files. It seems that the "replace" doesn't work, but with no explaination or warning. Extrememly frustrating. (Mail 7.0, Mavericks 10.9)
