Adding sysdate to filename  when exporting to csv in Apex V3.0.1 using IE6

Hi,
I have created an application item (AI_DTTIME), together with an application computation that fires on before-header that is set-up as follows:
TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24:MI') ||'.'
Within the report addtributes on a page under "Report Export", within the filename, I assigned &AI_DTTIME.
When I go to test it by clicking on the link label, it seems to assign a number to the filename, such as 40.csv. Each time I clink on the link label, the filename value simply increments to the next value, i.e 41.csv
Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong or how to apply the sysdate to a filename under "Report Export".
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony, Hi Andy
I have a similar functionality to achieve by adding sysdate of filename when exporting to csv, adding wthr this csv is in dev or prod,URL of this report and it is powered by xyz company
I have created an application item same as andy did and the application computation with computation item AI_DTTIME, computation point - Before Header, computation type - static assignment and computation - TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24MI') ||'.'
After that in report-export filename i added the address of my application item i.e &AI_DTTIME
but when i am trying to export my report to csv the header is coming with " TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DDMMYYYY HH24MI')_' "
Can you suggest where i am wrong?
Regards
Adi

  • Adding zeros to filenames when exporting in Lightroom "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc?

    Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add zeros before numbers when exporting files eg: "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc? The default setting is "Filename-1" "Filename-2" ect. The reason I want to have zeros in the number sequence is that certain software will display files in the wrong numerical sequence eg: "Filename-1" "Filename-10" Filename-11" etc and then "Filename-2" after "Filename-19". If zeros are added the files will always be displayed in the correct sequence "Filename-001" "Filename-002"... "Filename-009" "Filename-010" "Filename-011" etc.

    Just customize the filename using the template editor, and use the Sequence token set to the number of leading zeroes you want, as shown.

  • Dropping zeros when exported to CSV format

    I formated in Numbers using 5 digit place holder and setting "hide seperator" and "show zeros" This looks perfect in Numbers but when I export to CSV (I want to import the mailing list to AddressBook) it drops the front zero. I tried formating a new column as text and pasting the list into it, but it turned into numerical format and dropped the zero again when exported to CSV. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can't help but feel I am being stupid. This shouldn't be so difficult.

    I did the following test:
    1) I formatted a column as text and entered several cells worth of 5-digit zip codes that had leading zeros.
    2) I formatted a column with a custom format of five digits, leading zeros, and no separator. I typed in a few numbers with less than five digits and they displayed with leading zeros. No surprise there.
    3) I formatted a column as text and copy/pasted from column in (2) to this text-formatted column. I was actually surprised it kept the leading zeros because the underlying data (a bunch of 3 and 4 digit numbers) does not actually have them.
    4) I exported this file as CSV.
    5) I opened the CSV in TextEdit and the leading zeros were there in all three of these columns.
    This all seems to be working as you would want it to. Am I doing something different than you?
    To complete the test, I opened the CSV with Numbers and it dropped all the leading zeros upon import. But you are not re-importing it into Numbers so this last step wasn't really a fair test.

  • Use Metadata Title as Filename When Exporting

    Is there a way to use the metadata title as the export filename when exporting ?? If not, there should be !

    It already can do this. Simply go into the list of filename presets, choose Edit, and built your own preset - making sure to include "Title" from the top Metadata drop down list somewhere in your renaming pattern.

  • Leading zeros are dropped when exporting as csv

    I have a report that when I export as csv, leading zeros in text columns are dropped in excel. The text columns appear fine in the report, however, when I export the leading zero is gone in excel. For example, in the report my text column could have a value of 0101, when it is exported to excel it has a value of 101. The code behind the link to export to csv is f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R#REGION_ID#
    Is there a way to keep the leading zero in excel?
    Regards
    Mark

    Thanks for your reply. In my query I wrapped the column with double quotes as you suggest, and added the same column for display:
    select '"'||column1||'"' execl_col, column1 disp_col from table where ....
    Using htmldb_application.g_excel_format as a conditional display I can control what is displayed on the screen and export to csv the double quoted text field. I have that part working fine. Using my previous data example, I am now seeing in excel 0101"".
    Did I wrap the field incorrectly with double quotes? How can I exclude the
    double quotes in the export to csv?

  • Filename when exporting from ReportViewerBean

    I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 in a desktop application and ReportViewerBean is used for previewing reports. The export-dialog have several file formats and they all work fine but one annoying thing is that the filename is blank, so one have to write the filename/filextension manually before exporting to file.
    Is there a way in the code to specify what filename a report should get when exporting?
    I'm probably missing something here...
    I've searched through the forums and code examples but have not found anything about this.
    Thanks in advance
    // Uhlen

    To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
    When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.

  • Keep Red Filename when exporting to QT

    I have a lot of Red Footage which I need to trim/color correct in FCP. I use log and transfer window to ingest the footage and then Export > Quick Time to 1080p.
    The problem is, I have to maintain the original filename for future reference.
    Is there a way to keep the original file name when exporting?
    When I export, it ask me for the file name as "save as" and it puts "Sequence 1" by default in. Is there any way to override that and put the original file name in?

    Yes, thank you, I know about the voodoo to get things out to Compressor. Must be a sequence in the main sequence folder in the bin to work voodoo thing.
    I think my problems are systemic as now compressor will not launch. I have been having nothing but problems since I installed 10.4.10. First all my Office programs would not launch then I actually installed OS 10.4.10 several times rebuilding my system by archive and installing 10.4.8 and then using the combo installer from there. I thought I had a stable system but I guess I will have to revert to 10.4.9 or reinstall compressor or Quick Time or FCP Studio or.......ARRGGHHHH?
    I though that the dialog was amusing in the extreem! It wasn't "Sequence has no media" it was:
    "No Movie in File" Of course there isn't any movie in the file you didn't put the movie into a file....sheesh. Anyway I'll post again.

    Hi,
    I logged bug however information is not enough to locate the problem.
    You can use export to reporting schema in order to get your model exported - in database in that case.
    We are not going to extend "export to CSV file" functionality any further - it'll be as it is now.

  • Webi Error when exporting to csv

    Hello everybody,
    I have a report in Webi, but when I export to csv, then duplicated data and not processed the tildes.
    Someone could help me.
    regards,
    Edited by: Pedro Luis Aaron Robles on Aug 25, 2011 3:56 PM

    I don't recall where I read it, but this is by design.
    Export to csv if you want a data dump. No design elements of the report will be taken into account.
    Export to Excel if you want to print your blocks.
    Could you explain a little better what you mean about tildes?

  • Extra columns when exporting to CSV format

    Using Crystal Pro XI R2, I have a report that is listing three fields, each 1" in width next to each other (no gap between columns).  When I export to Excel, the resulting file has no blank columns before the data.  However, when I export to CSV, even after checking the box to not include header/footers, I get three extra commas preceding the first column of the report.  The report only has a single detail section unsuppressed.  Since the CSV file is being imported into another application, I must either manually remove the extra commas or fix this problem.  Since I am not a member of the punctuation police, I am hoping to find a Crystal solution.
    Fuskie
    Who originally had six extra commas preceding his data, but reduced it to three after blocking export of headers/footers...

    The 3 comas is a good indication that you you have 3 empty fields in your report. Not sure how they may have gotten there without you knowing about it, but that would be my first guess.
    See if you can find them. they may be the save color as the back ground, making them "invisible". Try selecting your entire details section and see if you don't see anything unusual.
    I've also noticed that CR will allow you to place fields off the edge of the report... even to the left of it. Once their over there you may not be able to select them to remove them.
    Assuming that you don't find the offending fields on the report you can try this:
    Make a copy of your report using the Save As...
    In the copy, while in design view, do a Ctrl+A to select all objects on the report and delete them.
    Then simply reinsert the fields you want to export for your CSV export.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problem when Exporting to CSV delimited File in SSRS

    When I export my information to CSV file so its in raw data format and easily used in one of the fields I have a number that is big (for example, 140313055811).  It's really just an invoice number, but when I export it to CSV and open it, it shows
    something like 1.41E+11.  I need to get it to display the full number instead of this.  Is there a way? I tried making the textbox that its in as a number, I tried make the value area of the field =int(name of field), I tried changing it to text. 
    None of these do the trick.

    Hi grahamtribe,
    After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it when open the csv file with Excel. As per my understanding, there is no width when we export the report to csv, Excel is just using the default cell sizes when we open the csv. When a number
    value is wider than the default cell size, it would use Scientific format.
    In this scenario, we can select all the cells in the csv file, then click Format| AutoFit Column Width to change all the cells width to fit its corresponding values in Excel level.
    Besides, we can try to export to excel instead of csv. Excel format can inherit the column width in the report. So in this way, we can directly change the width to fit the values in Reporting Services level.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Retain Filename when Export Trim

    I often use the trim function in Quicktime X.
    To view a video, I open it up and sometimes I need to make it shorter.
    The I use trim and export back to the folder I had the original clip so that it over writes it.
    My problem is, that I need the original file name. When I export, it always wants to save it as "untitled".
    So I have to go back-and out of QT click on the clip in the folder>copy and then paste in the export window.
    Lot of work. (My filenames are 16 Digits-to long to type every time)
    Any way to set it to the original file name?

    To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?

  • Illustr. CS5 Appending -01 onto filenam when export .jpg

    Hi, I'm having two really annoying problems when I export images from Illustrator CS5.
    Problem no.1
    Anytime I export an image file, Illustr always appends -01 onto the end of the filename even into an empty folder. Never had this problem before. I'm on Lion. Anyone think it may have to do with that?
    Prob no.2
    Also, is there a way to make Illustrator default to having the "Use Artboard" checked the Export dialogue?? It's so annoying having to check that everytime I need to export an image, which for producing comps is ALL the time.

    You know what,... you're absolutely right. It wouldn't make sense when there are several artboards. Right now I'm just hammering on this project and the sketch phase is just taking forever, using [one] artboard for each file. Just needed to quickly pump out a bunch of comps. [probably a better way to do it].
    It makes sense that exporting artboards should be numbered for you BUT if exporting only one, you'd think the system would be smart enough NOT to throw a number on the end. Whatevs.
    I should have thought of this before I posted, but I just remembered I could have been using the save-for-web dialogue. THAT remembers exactly where you last exported to. Yea, Mac has recent places too, shoulda thought of that as well... 
    Theyve obviously thought this thru more than me...   Thanks a million for your help!!

  • When exporting to CSV missing last delimiter

    I am using XI. When I export to Excel, the width of last column is always not like what I formated. I have to add an empty text object after the last column so the actual last column becomes to be the second last column with right format.
