Bursting with Excel Template Format

Greetings!
Does anyone have a working example of a bursting solution with an EXCEL Template Format? The documentation doesn't list Excel as a supported format; my hope is that this is out of date. I'm on version 10.1.3.4.
Thanks,
Mac

Here's the error message I'm getting when I try to run this report. Perhaps it's something different than I expect:

Bursting with Excel template

I have uploaded a template created in Excel, and now need to burst this to a group of email addresses.
In the docs, the only values available for TEMPLATE_FORMAT in the control file are:
RTF
PDF
ETEXT
XSL_FO
Yes, I can burst an RTF template and deliver in PDF format, but that is obviously not the same result.
Sorry, I have searched and searched, and can only find this question asked, but not answered:

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).
Our client want excel output on priority.
Is there any limitation for excel output format of reports?
It is very urgent for us please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pragati

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Run BI Publisher report (with Excel template) on Windows 7

Hi, All.
Sorry for my English :)
I have some problem:
I use BIP standalone for my reports. Some reports are in Excel (with Excel template). When I run it on PC with WinXP - all is OK. But, when I try to run it on PC with Win7, then Excel is opening and writing this "Native file format and file extension does not mismatch. Before open be sure of file does not damage" (this is my translation). If I try save file on the hard disk, then file is 0 kb. But if a report has RTF-template, then it opening normaly on Win7's PC.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks!

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

Labview- .EXE file with excel template

How to create a .exe file from the .vi file with excel template. Since I am giving only .exe file, the client wont be having the excel templates. So please tell me how to build a .exe file with templates which will be invoked by mainfile.vi. Please let me know if U guys know. (Now in my mainfile.vi I am using local file location path to invoke)

Hi saamy,
I have tested it out at my PC and it is working.
I have tested with MS office report and put the template "Excel Template.xlt" under VI's folder (C:\temp) and make the exe file.
After the exe file has been moved to other place(C:\build) and has been executed, the exe file try to locate "Excel Template.xlt" under both C:\temp and C:\build. As long as the template is the same folder with exe file, it is working.
Pls refer to attached file.
Hopefully it will help. Please let me know the result.
Thanks & Regards,
Steve

PL/SQL + XML with Excel report format?

Dear all,
I am a new beginner in XML Publisher. For the EBS11i, I can use PL/SQL with http scripts to generate excel report format.
The following code will include in store procedure:
>
begin
owa_util.mime_header(ccontent_type => 'application/vnd.ms-excel');
     htp.htmlopen;
     htp.headopen;
     htp.print( '<STYLE>' );
htp.print( '' );
     htp.print( '</STYLE>' );
     htp.headclose;
     htp.bodyopen;
     htp.para;
     htp.strong( '<U>' || 'Sample Report Name'|| '</U>');
     htp.para;
htp.tablerowopen;
     htp.tabledata('<DIV align="left">' || rec_main2.vendor_name || '</DIV>',cattributes => ' class="xl24" width="190"');
htp.tablerowclose
>
How can I do that in R12?
Please advice.

Problem with Script Task formatting excel

Hi Experts,
I am creating a package and using Script task to format one excel dimension file, now the problem is if I execute the package from BIDS designer with static values then the package executes fine with excel file formatted perfectly fine but if I execute same package in BPC via Data manager with values used from variables it gives error on script task message:
"Description = System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'E:\PC_MS\Data\Webfolders\CDNPLAN\AdminApp\Stage\Employee.xls'. There are several possible reasons:
u2022 The file name or path does not exist.
u2022 The file is being used by another program.
u2022 The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

Hi,
If you do not define GLOBAL VARIABLE in your BPC package and BIDS, why don't you try to have it? you should specify the webfolder and file name in advanced script, then you also need to create global variable as text type in BIDS.
I saw many cases BPC does not pass the dynamic variable to BIDS, therefore I changed the type of variable as the Global variable and it works for me.

Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 format

Hi all,
we have some problems with Excel file format on BPC 7.5NW SP06:
1- We save input schedules or reports woth Excel 2007 file format. Then when we try to open these report they are corrupted (we click on "Open" and nothing happens). We can download the report from UJFS. The xltx file is corrupted. We can change th file extension to xls. Then we can open the report again.
2- Is it possible to define the default extension when we save input schedules and reports? By default xltx is selected. We want to have xlt selected by default.
thanks for your help,
Romuald

Hello,
First you can try checking if you have configured your apset to work with xltx.
1. Open BPC web admin and select AppSet Parameters
2. Check ALLOW_EXTENSIONS and DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS if you have xltx there
3. If not, add and click on update
If this continues to happen, check note "1579344 - Office 2007 extensions not loading in BPC 7.5 SP6 for NW". This can be a program error, but note that it only happens for some templates.
Hope it helps

Excel Reports - Preserve Template Format

Two part question here:
Part 1:
Is there an easy way to use the NI Report Generation Toolkit or any of the Excel subvis in the _Office addons subdirectory to preserve the existing formatting of a cell that you are writing data to? For example, I have a report template with named ranges to which I write data using the Excel Easy Text.vi, but that VI has inputs for cell formatting (font) that, when left blank, default to some font that I don't necessarily want. Is there a way to get the font (and other formatting properties--allignment, merge status, etc.) from the template before writing data to it to avoid overriding the template settings? I have searched through all the NI Report libraries and the Office addons, and I can't seem to find anything that will accomplish this.
Which brings be to Part 2:
Naturally, my reaction to the problem above is simple: roll your own. I figured it would be pretty easy to write a subvi to return the font refnum from a named range; it would probably look something like this:
However, as you can see, I get broken wires on my attempt to unbundle from the private Report class object. Apparently, I can't access properties of this object unless my VI is a part of the library, but I can't add my VI to the library because it is protected. Is there any way around this? I can see NI not wanting me to go in a modify the shipping vi.lib VIs, but it seems like it's not too much to ask for the ability to add user-created VIs to the libraries.
Maybe there's an easier way; I admit I'm pretty new to LVOOP.
EDIT: Oh, I did see that I could use the Excel Get ActiveX References to return refnums from the original report object, but that seems a bit messy for my tastes--too many unneeded references that I would have to close afterwards, and the connector pane leaves much to be desired (couldn't all the references be bundled together?).

...but I see your String/Numeric data inputs and raise you Array data!
I have some data sets that I store in a 2D string array that I dump to a named range in my Excel template. It works fine if I use the Excel Easy Table.vi, but there is still the aforementioned formatting concern. I tried handling it like this:
But it doesn't seem to preserve all the formatting, for some reason (i.e. correct font type [bold], but incorrect font size). It sure would be nice if I could add a new subvi to the Find and Replace polymorphic VI to handle string/numeric arrays...

Can query output the result into excel with a fix format?

Hi Expert,
My user giving me a requirement for new reports. They do not want the standard SAP report format but they want the result to be populate into a excel template with their own fix format. Can BW generate the report like this? Or it is out of the functionality of BW. FYI, I'm using SAP BI 7.0.
Thanks!
Regards.

Hi Ang,
You have a way to do through the Bex Analyzer.
Please get the excel template in that please use a analysis design item in the place of the query result display.
Then after adding the analysis item then please assign a DP (data provider) with the query you have created.
After that please save the work book in your roles or fav's.
Note: some important settings has to be changed for the workbook.
In workbook settings, tick mark the property "REFRESH upon open of work book"

Creating multiple page report with single page excel template

Hi,
I have a created a single sheet excel template. When my LabVIEW program runs, I want to insert a data table in the excel report for each time the loop runs. Each time I add a new sheet in the report and add the data table. I want to get the same template in each new sheet. Please let me know how to insert the same template in each new sheet in the same file. Right now I need to create template file with 5-6 worksheets each with the same format.
Rashmi

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to do the same you have suggested. As the "Save As" option does not work, I tried to copy the block diagram into a new vi but it gives the error. I am attaching here the screen shot of the same.
