Can I link a query with an Excel file without using universe designer?

Post Author: nicmac3030
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
I have an Excel file that contains a list of 200 seller codes. The list is updated on a weekly basis.
I need to create a query in Webi that shows ONLY those records in our main table that match one of the seller codes on the Excel list.
Is there an easy way of doing this? I don't really want to hassle our universe designer guy with a new file to import every week. But if that's the only way to do it, we will have to.
Back in BO v5 we used an Excel macro to add all the codes into a long text string with commas & pasted that into the query designer. Unfortunately there are many queries that need to be updated, so hopefully there's a way to automate this.
Thanks for your help. Cheers, Nick

Nick,
You don't mention what version of BusinessObjects that you are using. If you are going to adopt XI 3.0 sometime soon, then you will have a definite capability of doing what you want with a new product included in 3.0 called "Rich Client". At this moment I can't think of any other way to achieve what you want other than RC. You can read more about RC at the Business Objects docs web site, here: http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_web_intelligence_rich_client_en.pdf

How can I link table KONV with table VBRP and VBRK using KSCHL field?

Hi experts,
How can I link table KONV with table VBRP/VBRK using KSCHL field so that items are fully filtered?
Thanks,

Hi,
If you do not want to specify it as hard code, then define a variable for it if you want to pass the value for it from the selection screen so that it will be dynamic. Code will be as follows.
select-options: x_KSCHL for T685l-KSCHL.
select kwert
           kbetr
           knumv
           kposn
           kschl
      from konv
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_konv
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_all
      where knumv = it_all-knumv
      and   kposn = it_all-b_posnr
      and   kschl in x_KSCHL. "Dynamic Selection as per the selection screen input
endif.
Hope this helps.

Allow user to import excel file without using wizard ?

Hi !
How can i realize an application where the user can import an excel sheet. The user should just choose the file to import and all the other things should happen automatically. The files are allways equal, allways same colums, allways same delimiters and the destination table is allways the same, too.
With other words : how to build an own import wizard ?
I know that i can easily upload a csv file to the database. But how can i get access to the uploaded file from sql or pl/sql ? If this would work, i could make simple selects and insert them into the destination.
Perhaps someone can help me.
Greetings
Bernd

Bernd,
You're on the right track. For now, you'll have to write your own parsing routine and do your own inserts. If you follow the how to on uploading files, you can then simply take the blob and parse through it in pl/sql.

How can I create a query with web service data control?

I need to create a query with web service data control, in WSDL, it's query operation, there is a parameter message with the possible query criteria and a return message contains the results.

Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file. I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with. I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time. Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal.
So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

Hi
1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
OR
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
See Blogs and Article, similar logic...

How to save query result in excel file

Hi all,
How to save query result in excel file from sql*plus tool.
thank you

Do you really need an Excel file (binary) or a simple CSV?
If you just need a CSV then search for DUMP_CSV at http://asktom.oracle.com or at this forum
If you need formatting and/or multiple worksheets then you can use free tools like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made. As soon as you open the file and exit. It prompts for a save.
All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
Using a table.
the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
2) Same file. 2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file.
Everything was working fine. I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office.
File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save.
Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away.
I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed.
It is fixed now. By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh. NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

Hi,
You may end the Excel process first, the “PsTools” have a pskill command that you can use to end a process remotely.
Here’s a simple command:
pskill \\computer –u username -p password excel.exe

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
