BW patch 21 to 23: Web report export to Excel

Hi,
We have applied the support packs 21 to 23 on our system (BW 3.0B). When we now export a web report to Excel, the characteristics values are missing in the report (no cost center or account number) and only the key figure values are displayed.
Has anyone experienced that ?
Thanks
David

Hi,
note 761098 should solve your problem.

Web report Export to Excel Issue

Hi,
I've tried to look at one of the issues already logged about the Export to Excel functionality and I was not able to find a solution to my problem.
In my organization we are using BW 3.5. And when I run a web report, and try to export to excel a 15000 line report, I'm always getting only the first 400 or 500 rows. If I go to the last line and try to do the same, I will then get the full report exported to excel.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
JS

Try to run the report using the 0ANALYZER template and see whether you can replicate the issue. If the behavior is same with 0ANALYZER then it will be a issue with SAP code.

Webi Report exported to excel issues

Hello all.
I have a webi report which when I export to excel gets intended to the right. That is at the top it looks right but as I scroll down it keeps moving to the right and at the end of the page all the data is completely moved to the right and is not visible.
What could be the issue?How do I solve this?
Thanks,
Nisha

Thank you for your response.
BO Version : 3.1
Excel: 2010
yes the columns get shifted to the right as seen in the screenshot. So as I keep scrolling down the report shifts to the right and disappears as we keep scrolling.

WEB reports exported to Excel - occupys lot of memory

Hi Experts,
When I try to export a report from Web or Bex Analyser to Excel. The report consumes lot of memory.
The same size of data in Original Excel file occupy less memory but when it is being downloaded from WEB and Bex takes lot of memory and It doesn't let me email as an attachment.
Can anyone give me a solution for it please.
Thanks

Has anyone got a solution for this? Even I have same issue. User is trying to download the web report to excel, after downloading the file is too big (in MBs) and when the user opens and save again as .xls file, then file size is coming down to KBs. The default file type is Webarchive as I observed. Need to know if there is a way to change the default file type to excel.
Thanks for your help/hints.

Access Report exporting to Excel Horizontally

I've got a rather large report in Access, based on a couple of forms.
When i preview it looks fine, Textboxes are all in order with the make and model then the data in text boxes in a column below.
There are 7 columns of text boxes like this.
When I export to a PDF, it's in the right format, 7 columns next to each other.
When I export to Word and even a text file it works fine.
When I export to Excel, they all go horizontal...textbox name in row 1 and all the data in row 2, clear to column IV and that's it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any help.
Gee

Hi Gee,
According to the desription, when the report exported to Excel, the layout is incorrect.
Based on my test, the Access doesn't export the textbox into Excel, it just export the data in the report. Here are the test steps for your reference:
1. Create a table with some fields in Access 2013
2. Create a reprot based on the table by default
3. Export the report to Excel by External data->Export->Excel
Did I misunderstood? Also a demo database to help us reproduce this issue is much appreciate.

Hyperion Workspace Financial Reporting Export to Excel Query-Ready Missing

Hyperion Workspace Financial Reporting Export to Excel "Query-Ready" option is Missing in the dropdown when you go to File>Export>Excel
Only the "Fully Formatted" option is available.
From what I recall this option for a "query-ready" export should be available from the HTML preview?
Is there something in configuration that needs to be enabled or something that needs to be checked on to get this option?
We are running 11.1.1.3
The Query-Ready option is available when exporting forms in Planning.
When opening Financial Reports in Smartview the option for "Query-Ready" is available.
For some reason this is not showing up in workspace, does it not exist in 11.1.1.3? Is this a bug?
TIA

Hi,
The option to export the financial report output in "Query-Ready" format is actually at the bottom right hand corner of the report page (look at the report footer) instead of File>Export>Excel.
Hope this helps

Access report export to excel shows =sum() text boxes prefixed with the textbox name

When exporting reports from access to excel the =sum() (group and total sums) text boxes all have the text box name prefixed to them in excel. They look good in access reports. Any way to turn this off? Why is this happening?
I've seen the same issue on 2 computers running Access 2010. I also tried this in access 2013 and had the same issue.
See the images below as examples, the first is from access, the second is the report exported to excel.
Access 2010 (http://i.stack.imgur.com/4roFM.png)
Exported report viewed in Excel 2010 (http://i.stack.imgur.com/6B1zj.png)

I've seen the same issue on 2 computers running Access 2010. I also tried this in access 2013 and had the same issue.
Hi Scott,
Did you use the same database file? May I know how did you create the report and those TextBoxes?
I couldn't reproduce your problem, this is what I did:
Create a sample table and the corresponding report. Group it by one of the field, then give it a footer section. In the footer section I inserted a TextBox and set the ControlSource property to "=Sum([fieldname])". But the name of the TextBox didn't
show in the exported Excel file. Check the screenshots here:

SSRS report export to excel

Hi All,
I have one developed SSRS report which is a matrix report (having customer name in column area and customer code in row area);
and it is working ok no issue here.
Now I want to do something like :
Is it possible while exporting to excel, I can interchange rows data to columns data and columns data to rows data ? (so that customer name comes in row area; and customer code comes in column area)
Hope question is straight forward and clear.
Regards

Hi ,
I have tried to do dynamic grouping based on the Format of rendering, however in dynamic grouping not allowed to use the Global Built-In Fields, Variables, ReportItems collections.
Finally only way left for us to use our classical trick to set the visibility on and off.
This trick can be applied by creating two different Matrix and show one matrix depending on Format rendering.
My trick is to create two groups within the matrix and hide and show one group based on format rendering.
I have created detailed level of post in below link.

Ssrs report export to excel along with parameter filters

HI,
In ssrs reports export to excel along with parameter filters,is it possible or not?
Could you please help me..
indu

Hi Sriindu,
According to your description, you want to export the report into an excel file with the report parameter and filters. And you want to filter data in excel. Right?
In Reporting Services, the components for exporting report into a file called Reporting Services Rendering Extension. There are three types of Reporting Services rendering extensions: Data Render Extension,
Soft page-break renderer extensions, Hard page-break rendering extensions. All these three extension are only for rendering data. It can't keep the filters and parameter in the report. Also excel can't support Reporting Services filter in
an excel file. So your requirement can't be achieved.

Webi XI report export to excel--- Formatting issue

Post Author: Sougata
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
We have WEBI report that contains cell with hyperlink. The value of the cell in numeric. Type is string.
When we export this report to excel. In, Excel version is MS-office Excel 2003. In excel it is showing those green with Error --- "NUMBER STORED AS Text".
Any solution?

Hi Steve,
As per my understanding, the issue occurs because Excel Destination gets the data from the source. We can change it, but once it re-validates it will change it back. This makes sense since we cannot change the data type in the actual table. To work around
this issue, I suggest that we can add a data conversion or derived column to explicitly cast the values.
Besides, the suggestion post by Arthur means that we can add IMEX=1 to the value of Extended Properties in the connection string of the Excel connection manager in the Properties window to specify Import Mode. For more details about the settings of IMEX,
please see:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/194124?wa=wsignin1.0
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                            ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);
Please note the following details about our environment:
<h5>Report Designers:</h5>CR Designer version: xi Rel 2
<h5>Developer environment</h5>Has the following installed:
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- VS .Net 2008
- Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

<h5>Crystal Server environment:</h5>Two clustered Business Objects Enterprise servers with the following installed & configured

- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP3

- .Net Version: 2.0

Umm, the code you provided has nothing to do with Business Objects Enterprise...(?). So, I'm a bit confused by the mention of BOE and "The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" in essentially one paragraph.
Can you pls explain?

HFM Report export to Excel changes cell category

Greetings,
we just updgrated to version 11.1.2.2 and are noticing some strange behavior coming out of an some HFM reports we are exporting to Excel.
We are trying to sum up some values and are getting #VALUE!. We have to manually change the category settings of all columns in order to enable any Excel formulas. This occurs when values are "-".
We can manually change Excel to reflect the cells to be numbers but there are a lot of reports to change, and on top of this, the prior version of HFM/Reports did not display that issue.
Pls let me know how to resolve this issue.. Many thanks.

Issue is not with HFM, but with FR Studio and version 11.1.2.2.302. Patch is available.

Web Intelligence export to Excel misses some fields

Hi,
Our system is running BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP3 (no fix packs). The behavior I'm seeing is when exporting a particular Webi doc to Excel.
Here is some background info for the document I am attempting to export to Excel. The doc contains a section and the section has a crosstab including description header cells. I have added an additional cell at the top of the section with section specific information in it- nothing that strange yet. If my InfoView (Web Intelligence) preferences is set so that 'Select a priority for saving to MS Excel' is set to 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel' then the exported document is missing the additional cell at the top of the section (all other data is fine). If the setting is set to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents' then the Excel export works perfectly.
My question is why would this be? The cell is just a simple dimension (string). My only fear about changing this Excel setting is that there is a warning in the 'Business Objects XI 3.1 Release Notes' guide. It states
Large Web Intelligence documents should be saved to Excel format using the "Prioritize data processing" option". The generated Excel might not open if the document is large and saved with the "prioritize formatting" option.
Thanks,
Steve

We are experiencing similar issue using BO 4 SP2 Patch 10 when exporting to Excel with setting 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel'. Exporting data worked after changing WEBI settings to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents'
Documentation regarding this option states following:
"Under "Select a priority for saving to MS Excel", select the option that best fits your needs:
u2022 If you want to display the data in a format that is similar to working in Web Intelligence, then
choose Prioritize the formatting of the documents.
u2022 If you want to display the data in a text format, then choose Prioritize easy data processing in
Excel."
If I understand this explanation correctly then both options should have extracted the same content to Excel. Difference should have been how the contents were formatted and should not have caused loss of information.
I logged support ticket for this issue.
