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:

Oops... I meant to say "I can burst an RTF template to Excel output, but that's different."

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 The documentation doesn't list Excel as a supported format; my hope is that this is out of date.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:

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

How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
also changes color.
However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing.
I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
other one comes to the foreground.
I'm no sure how it's doing that.
Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
Thank You
Keith Aul
Keith Aul

The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.

There was a problem sending a command to this program. Excel with new templates.

I have recently deployed these UEV templates for Office 2013. In particular, I'm having an issue with Excel 2013. Whenever I let UEV sync settings for this application and I click on a .xlsx file, I get the infamous "There was a problem sending
a command to this program..." error message. This drove me nuts for a week thinking there was something wrong with Excel. I finally figured out it was the Excel UEV settings causing the issue. I've tried deleing the settings package file,
but no luck. I can reproduce the issue pretty easily.

MS has released hotfix for this issue. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2927019/.

Excel Template - Save with Unique Names

Hi - I have a SharePoint 2010 document library with an Excel template as the template. When a user creates a New Document (new Excel workbook from template), the name of the new file is "PSR1". Someone else may have also created a
new workbook, where the default name is PSR1. How can you get Excel to name the file uniquely with each template? I've set up fields to capture user name and date/hours/mins/sec and have it concatenated ina field for use as the name, but I can't
get Excel to use it or figure out how to make SharePoint require unique file names. Thank you.

OOTB way there isn't any option to allow users to provide a specific file name, either you can set content approval for that document library or set an announcement / header asking users to only save file with that specific name series.

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.

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.

How can split data into multiple sheets using an excel template

Hi all,
I'm using BIP 10.1.3.4.1 upgrated with the latest rollup patch, 9546699.
I followed the example inside the article "Real Excel Templates 1.5" (on the Tim Dexter's blog)
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2010/05/real_excel_templates_i.html
and I built my report directly from an excel template containing only one sheet (plus the XDO_METADATA sheet), and for one sheet it worked fine !!!
Now I need to add more sheets to the template.... and I have two big questions:
1. if I need to create a second sheet which contains almost the same data (with a different layout), I saw that it is not possible to map a value to more than 1 cell....so if I map a value in the first sheet, I can't map it in the second sheet (because it's already used in the first one).
How can I map same values into two or different execll
2. if I need to create a second sheet which contains another dataset (completely different from the dataset in the first sheet), I can I do, considering that every BIP report is based on ONLY a data source.
Tim wrote: The most impressive, for me at least, is the sheet 'bursting'. You can split your hierarchical data across multiple sheets and dynamically name those sheets
but I didn't yet understand how this bursting it's possible.....considering what I said above.....
Surely I've a lack of knowledge.....but anybody can help me to understanding the "multiple excel sheets" black hole ?
I'll appreciate any kind of help
Thanks in advance
Alex

In an Excel template file, can I set the Folder Path in the SaveAs Dialog box?

I have an Excel template file (xltm) and, with help from the forum, I now have a Workbook_BeforeSave subroutine to save the template as a macro enabled file (xlsm). I’m so thankful for that help from Edward in the forum.
I also want to set the default folder location to save the file. I really only need it when the template is saved as a new xlsm file, because if they open the xlsm file, it’s usually opened from the default folder path so any save would normally go back
to where the file was opened. However, with a template (even if the template is in the default folder) the Saved template reverts back to the user’s documents folder.
Is there a good way to do this?
I tried to modify the Workbook_BeforeSave code like this:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FolderDir As String
Dim FileNameVal As String
FolderDir = "Z:\save\data\place\"
If SaveAsUI Then
If Dir(WorkBookFolder, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
Application.DefaultFilePath = WorkBookFolder
End If
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
But there are a lot of checks that would need to be done.
I'm not sure how to only default the folder saved only when they open the template, but not change it when they just open an already saved Excel file created by the template (with all the active content, macros, etc.).
Alan Edwards

Hi Alan,
store the path\filename in the 1st argument:
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\*.xlsm", "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

How to show custom error message in WebADI Excel template?

Hi,
I've created a custom Web ADI integrator and associated it with a 'Procedure' based custom interface.
WebADI Interface API Returns is set to "Error Message".
I'm using raise_application_error(-20001, "Actual Error Message") for invalid rows,but custom error message from PL/SQL is not populated on the excel template.
Instead it is showing "SQL exception occurred during PL/SQL upload".
Am I missing anything? How to show custom error message from Pl/SQL procedure to WebADI Excel template?
TIA
Narasimha

The custom API errors are visible in the BNE log but not on the Excel.

Can we use Trunc,Substr in Excel templates

Hi All,
I have a date xml tag with value like "2012/04/01 00:00:00" i need to show this in excel output as "01-APR-2012".
I am using Excel template, need your help to achieve the same.
I tired to use Trunc,Substr,Format date but nothing is working.
Please give me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks
Rajehs

Varma,
Thanks for the reply, i have already checked the link but it doesn't have syntax to use Trunc,substr etc. functions.
Also date in example is - "1996-02-03T00:00:00.000-07:00" , but in my case date format is different "2012/01/01 00:00:00".
Thanks
Rajesh
