Can BIP excel output calculate result automatically?

I have generated the output file with XML format. but i had one question:
the cell doesn't calculate automatically, it still show excel formula format "=H7 / ( 1 + .17)", not the result of calculation 109.90.
BIP version:10.1.3.4.1.
Is there any solution or this is the excepted behavior?
Thanks...

Jackie,
if you use rtf or excel templates that's possible. How to use a rtf-template for this you can see here: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/de/community/bip/tipps/rtf_to_excel/index_en.html

  • Outputting quiz results to E-mail / Excel

    Hi everyone,
    I am a multimedia computing student currently on placement at
    an organisation. I am designing an e-learning package at the moment
    and am fairly new to Captivate. I have designed a package which
    consists of 6 question slides. I have set the project to send the
    results of the quiz to my work's e-mail address. I'm trying to find
    out if there is a way of getting Captivate to directly output the
    results to an Excel document. I have read numerous articles on this
    site regarding outputting the results to an Access database and
    would use this method, although my workplace unfortunately does not
    have ColdFusion. I have also read the article regarding manually
    importing the results from the e-mail into Excel, but have been
    asked by my supervisor to see if there is way for Captivate to
    automate this process. If you guys can help in any way, it would be
    greatly appreciated.
    The organisation does not currently have a LMS either, so I
    can't even output the results to that. On top of that, they want me
    to find a way of identifying when somebody has been through the
    appication, but without a LMS I guess Captivate is unable to do
    that. If you can let me know whether this is true too, that would
    be brilliant!
    Many thanks in advance for your help guys.

    Would your office, department, and/or township be willing to
    look at an
    LMS? There are a few free and low-cost LMS products out
    there...
    Gaftop's solution is decent but shouldn't be limited to ASP.
    Since Captivate can run javascript functions that are present
    in the
    parent HTML page, just make calls to that JS, which then
    posts to
    whatever backend page you have setup to receive that POST
    (ASP, PHP,
    etc). Then have the backend page update the database.
    This does, of course, require some sort of web server.

  • XML Report - Excel output automatic cell expand

    Hi,
    I created a XML report with Excel output. It works fine but I have 35 columns in that report.
    When I open the excel file - columns are not expanded, user needs to expand it manually.
    But It should automatically expanded when the user opens the report. How can i do that?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to create the rtf template with enough width for each column to render the output fully expanded when viewed from BI Publisher Desktop, which will look the same when run as a concurrent request. If you used the table wizard to create your excel layout, you can widen the columns in Word and paste/enter some spaces before or after each header field in the top row which will force the html rendering that XML Plublisher utilizes to widen the columns when creating Excel output. The fundamental disconnect here is XML Publisher is not rendering .xls or .csv output, but rather html that opens in Excel minus most Excel formatting. You might need to use a 22 inch landscape layout to fit all 35 columns after they are widened.

  • Error when opening BIP 10.1.3.3 Excel output in Excel 2002

    We have BIP 10.1.3.3 and Excel 2002 in use. When generating Excel output with BIP, we always get an error in Excel that the generated file can't be opened. Access is denied because of some error with resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'. (Unfortunately, I only get a German error message).
    Does anyone has an idea, how to change settings in BIP or Excel to work around this error?
    Thanks in advance!
    Marco

    Hi Tim,
    the German error message is:
    Diese Datei kann nicht geöffnet werden, weil:
    Zugriff verweigert
    Fehler beim Bearbeiten der Ressource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'.
    Zeile 3, Position 57.
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    It seems, that Excel 2002 can't do anything with this DOCTYPE. But what would be a workaround?
    Best regards,
    Marco

  • How we can get the output in excel format for Spawned programs?

    My requirement is to get the excel output for some of the programs (like -Adjustment Register, Applied Receipts Register). I am trying to achieve this by BI Publisher. But these programs has "Spawned" executable. And when I am changing the output type as"XML" I am getting below error in output-
    "XML Parsing Error: syntax error"
    Can anyne suggest how we can get an XML output and then excel output for Spawned programs?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    If I get it right, you want to convert RXi (Reports Exchange) reports such as Adjustment Register & Applied Receipts Register into XML Publisher. Normally, you need to change the "Output Format" of the program called by the "Spawned" program to 'XML' -- not the "Spawned" program itself.
    However, I believe RXi reports does not support XML output (atleast in 11i). It could only work on Text & Html format. Check on the metalink note below:
    432719.1 - RXi-Only Reports Generate XML Format Exception With No Output Setting the Output Format to XML
    Hope this helps.
    regards,..

  • Preventing automatic scientific notation conversion for excel output?

    I have a column in a report that contains a mixture of numbers and letters and hyphens. If the only letter is E, then I get scientific notation instead of the actual text when I run the report for excel output and open it in excel.
    For example:
    185701E-02 becomes 1.86E+03
    4962E6 becomes 4.96E+09
    Any ideas how to fix or work around this in the template, data definition, or excel config?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I tried pre-pending an apostrophe in the SQL and in the rtf template to indicate to excel that it is a text field, but this just resulted (not surprisingly) in '185701E-02 instead of 185701E-02

  • Calculate result in the query output

    Hi,
    Consider the case below:
    Order     Item     SalesAgent     Quantity     Price
    555     10     SA1          10          100
              SA2          10          100
              SA1          20          200
    In this case the correct result is (Quantity = 30 (1020) & Price = 300 (100200))
    This is as one item can have multiple Sales Agent but the price for each sales agent still reflects the total price for that item (same for quantity). So just to sum up gives the wrong result (100+100 is incorrect, total should be only 100).
    If I use calculate result as last value then for the total order it takes only 100.
    How can I set a result row for the above case such that it show result as 300. (Price and Quantity are KF’s)
    Thank you,

    The automatic restore process AFAIK will initiate a D2 restore. And if
    there's no other DC, sysvol might be gone.
    I really would prefer to have control - this means I would do a D4.
    Absolutely I would :)

  • Word wrap in RTF for an excel output : BIP 11g

    Hi,
    If we set the word wrap property in RTF and generate the output in Excel format, it doesnt reflect. However, PDF output reflects the difference.
    Looks like Excel overrides the property set in RTF. Is there anyway to text wrap a column for excel output?

  • Fixed column width in Excel output

    Hi,
    Can we fix a column width when we are viewing the report output in excel? Can we do that in RTF template?
    If the column name is too long, it is automatically inreasing width of the column...But I need the column to be of a fixed width.

    You should try Excel templates instead of RTF templates. This is the best method to control Excel output formatting like column width.did you try excel template ?
    for example for 3 nested group?
    from Re: Can XDODTEXE produce BI Publisher output?

  • Excel output (with graphics)

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version.
    We need to generate oracle reports in Excel format ("real" Excel, not delimited text) with tabular data and
    also graphics.
    I used desformat=spreasheet. But is is giving only one worksheet.
    I've found the "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports"
    demo but the Excel template in the demo is very simple and doesn't have graphics.
    Then I've found the following:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/excel_output/result/excel.jpg
    a) The above site has excel output with multiple worksheets.
    which is similar to what we need but I wasn't able to find related source (excel_emp.jsp).
    b) Using jsp if we can ahieve multiple worksheets with grapahics, please provide us examples.
    c) http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html --This site is not working to find the demo.
    Could you please help me in this?
    Thank you for any help.

    carla,
    the example you mentioned uses the JSP web source that is only available in oracle9i reports.
    in theory you can create any excel output. it is just a matter of creating the template and then adding the reports tags to populate it with data.
    you could then use reports' URL engine to produce files from this output.
    there are certainly ways to do it, but they are only available in oracle9i reports (9.0.2 and higher)

    Hi,
    Its looks like this might be the customization issue please have a look at the OSS Notes 457497 and refer to the questions 2, 3 &  4 may be you can get the idea (Specially 4).
    Why are some texts not printed at all?
    Answer:
    Which texts are printed depends on the Customizing settings of purchasing.
    Go to Customizing for purchasing.
    Choose "Messages -> Texts for Messages -> Define Texts for <Purchasing Document>". Choose "Print Document <Purchasing Document>". Select "Texts for Document Items" and add a new entry.
    You must specify a value for the print sequence in the detailed screen for your new entry.
    Let me know in case of any.
