BO 6.5 : save as excel (problem date)

hi,
i've a query result in BO with a date "31/12/2099". This date come from an oracle db file.
I save it into xls (save as) but the result in xls give me "30/12/1900".
It is the same for date greater than 31/12/2099.
for date < 1900 the result is 01/01/1900 !!!!
I think the problem is to resolve the date in two positions (YY) to four positions (YYYY)
is it possible to bypass de transformation ?
an idea to correct this ?
thanks

Hi,
Following solution might be helpful in resolving the issue.
A workaround for this issue is to select the entire document, go to Edit > Copy All, and then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. You will get the correct dates and the table will remain in the same format as the original *.rep document. You can then do further calculations in the Excel spreadsheet.
Note: If the *.rep document contains gaps, then they will not be pasted into the Excel spreadsheet unless you use "Paste Special". If you do this, then you will be able to view the data but you will not be able to do further calculations in the Excel spreadsheet.

Save as excel problem

Post Author: Marco Nardelli
CA Forum: Deployment
hi everyone
I'using BO 6.5.1 and I try to export different BO reports (about 200 rows) to excel 2000 SR-1.
But when I try to open the xls file it doesn't work.
I reduced the number of rows exported from BO and excel works fine.
At the end I reduced the BO report to the first 4 rows, because when I included the fifth row I got the problem.
So I thought I found the critical row - it can have a strange character
or something like that in one of its columns, I thought...
But if I export to xls a report with only this fifth rows it always works fine.
In this sense I found many critical rows
anyone can give me an explanation for this apparently strange behaviour?
thanks to everyone
ciao

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

Sharepoint 2013 Excel External Data Source Refresh Issue

I have been facing this issue for quite some time now.. i have created an Excel sheet in Excel-13 and have imported data from an external data source [SQL server 2012].
Everything is working fine, with the excel sheet on the desktop. Data refreshes, every-time i open the excel file and also at regular intervals that i have configured in the data source properties.
The problem begins when i save that excel sheet on my sharepoint server. the issues that i am facing are :
1. Changes made into the original data source, are not reflected immediately inside the excel sheet inside the browser. after 5-10 minutes, it reflects the changes..
2. The data doesn't refreshes automatically. After i update my data inside the sql server table, i have to manually trigger the refresh of the data connection when viewing the excel sheet inside the browser, even though i have marked "Refresh when opening
the file", and refresh every 1 minute inside the excel sheet. Any solutions ??
I have been troubled a lot by this issue, and seek for some quick solution.. Any help here ??

I found the solution finally, my self ..
Issue - 1 : It's going to take atleat 5-minutes to refresh the data connection, that is generally not a big time span.
Issue - 2 :
--> Set Your connection to refresh everytime the file is opened. go to internet explorer -> file -> internet options -> general -> Browsing History -> Settings -> Check for newer versions of stored pages... Check 'Every time I visit the
webpage'.
Now everytime i update your original data source, wait for 5-10 minutes and refresh my web page containing the excel sheet.. The Contents of the excel sheet are updated as desired..

Save via Excel-Toolbar vs. Save via BEx-Toolbar (InfoCatalog)

Hi all,
in the last time I occupy oneself with BW and BEx to automate querys. I think there are two ways to save an Excel-Workbook:
1. you can save it as workbook in the InfoCatalog (saveoption in the BEx toolbar)
2. or save it classical as .xls by Excel
Now my question: there are any reasons against Variant 2? I find its a little easier to write only one Excel-Workbook-Macro. For Variant 1 I need 2 Workbooks, one Autostart-Workbook that opens the sapbex.xla and the second Workbook from the InfoCatalog.
Is the choice only a matter of taste?
Best regards
Tim

Hello Sarhan,
thank you for the answer.
The security of the data storage is one site, but are there any reasons against Variant 2 because of missing functions? For example the option "refresh query after opening workbook" wont work with Variant 2. Its not a big problem, because you can manage it with a VBA-Code. Are with Variant 2 anticipate any trouble? Has anybody experience with Varinat 2?
Best regards

Cannot save the excel report in my application

Hi I wrote a program which can save the data to an Excel report. It runs perfectly on my own computer. After I built the application (exe file), and run it in another computer, which can not save the excel report. On my own computer, it has LabVIEW 2011 and report generation toolkit for Microsoftoffice; and on the other computer, I installed the LabVIEW runtime engine. Did I miss installing some other support software? Can anyone tell me why this is not working?
Thanks a lot,
Jane

Do you have Excel installed on the other computer?
I also suggest that you read this page : Including Report Generation VIs in Stand-Alone Applications (Report Generation Toolkit)
Hope this helps

Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."? If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.

PDF to Excel- internal data errors

We have Acrobat XI and we converted a PDF document to Excel. It looked like it worked properly. However, we discovered when trying to sort the date field, that some of the dates became corrupted in Excel . It affected the stored values of the dates, not what you see on the worksheet. For example, 1/1/12 became 1-12-2001; 2/1/12 became 1-12-2002. So obviously when we tried to sort on the date field, our results did not look correct. Please note that not every date field is corrupted. Many of them are fine..
We tried testing to see if the date fields were text, but they are not. We tried changing cell formats. We tried going into Excel Options and checking "precision as displayed"
We had 2 users in different departments try it and got the same results.

This is not an Adobe Reader problem; it may not even be an Acrobat (or Excel problem).
The problem is ambiguous date formats; what does 1/1/12 really mean? Computers and software do not have much ability to compare an ambiguous date with surrounding dates that are more obvious.
The best solution is to use clear date formats like 2012-01-01 or 2012/01/01.
Another possibility is to check if Acrobat can be made to change or identify the date format before the conversion. For this you best ask in the Acrobat forum.

I want to save 2 users game data now, use Properties?

hi, i just realized that by using "Properties" to save a users game data like the following
experience=2000;
level=3;
zone=forest;
it will write to the text file, but i just realized, when another user goes to play my game, how do i save his game in another spot, can i still use Properties? otherwise, the new user will get the previous user's saved data. and just when i was all happy about saving ONE users data. HAHAHA. :-D

Nobody's pissed off at you, well, certainly I'm not, and I can't see that anyone else is either. But you just seem to be relying on the forum to write the bits you can't, rather than put in a bit of effort to do it yourself. That's not very satisfying. You were going to use a database for this, and thank god I talked you into using Properties instead, because some poor guy would now be writing reams of JDBC code and SQL for you, and telling you how to install and configure MySQL and Connector/J. I prefer teaching people to fish rather than giving them dinner, it's a bit disheartening when people don't go for that approach. But nobody's pissed off at you. In all seriousness, I think you've been working away at this all weekend without much of a break and it's getting to you. Do yourself a favour and take the night off. It'll all seem so much easier when you've been away from it for a bit

Hyperion Financial Reporting - Export to Excel converting Data to Text

We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.2.2 with Hyperion Workspace 11.1.2.2 reporting on an ASO Essbase cube version 11.1.2.2.
When we export a report to Excel any data values that are displayed in the report with a negative ('-', '()', etc.) sign come into Excel as a text value. The cell has the green flag and the single quote in it denoting this a text field. The format is listed as 'Custom'. Updating the format does not remove the single quote.
The same result is happening if we display the natural sign in the report or if we flip the sign in the report. This DOES NOT happen when choosing the export query ready, only when using the File -> Export -> Excel.
Does anyone know if there is a hot fix or service pack or configuration to resolve this? How about a work around?
I thought I remember this happening in 9.2 and being resolved in 9.3. We have recently upgraded from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 and the issue is happening again.
The users would like to export the formatted report to Excel and be able to interact with the data cells as numbers.

The issue is reported as a bug. Installing patch 14625370 (11.1.2.2.302) and/or 16088101 (11.1.2.2.303) should fix the problem.

Error during the save process with Planning data form

Hi,
When in Planning web-client, I am trying to make changes to data on a data form. The cells are level-0 members (Yellow and writeable in a bottom-up Working version). When I save, it takes a while to process the request, then gives me the following error message: "There was an error during the save process."
The data form is fairly large, could this be causing the problem? I am a able to save data on other forms that correspond to the exact same set of members and dimensions with no problem. What are possible causes of this error? I have tried stopping and starting planning and the entire EPM system. Thank you.

Hi,
I believe you are using V11, I would stop planning, clear out log \Hyperion\logs\services\HyS9Planning-sysout.log, start planning, replicate the error and then going in look if the log has any more detailed information.
Cheers

Where can i save the use's data of external application?

where can i save the use's data of external application?and whether will it accumulate to some synchronic problem?
The way i am doing by is to save the information in providersession by initSession() of ProviderInstance,then to get the information back by using session.getAttribute(),which is in jsp. is it right?and what problem will be caused?
so i want to know what is the standard method to use the information in external application to page.

Hi Alf,
Please have a look at the POINT portlets. most of them are based on external apps. That could give you a fair enough idea of how to go about with your designs.

In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

Hi DirTech,
Are both of these dates in the same Excel file? If they're in different files, are you choosing the same language for OCR (optical character recognition)?
If they are in the same PDF file, how was that PDF file created? Was it created from a third-party application (rather than an Adobe application)? If it was created by a third-party application, it could be that it wasn't written to spec, and that's why you're seeing some oddities in the PDF > Excel conversion. (See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.)
