Cannot display table's data from an Excel File

Hi everyone,
I have uploaded my excel table to ODI but now i got an error message on a window that whenever I try to see the info and it says more o less the following:
Oracle Data Integrator Error
Cannot display table's data.
java.sql.SOLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver) The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the tile '(unknow)', It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
Has any one faced this issue before?
I assume that it is something with the ODBC, but as far as I know it was all right.
I would really appreacite any ideas on how to solve this issue.
Best regards.

Something is reading your file, have you got it open in Excel?
I've had similar issues reading Excel via ODBC with OBIEE - once a process opens it you might find you need to kill whatever it was and restart it.
So its either you or the ODI Agent / Console , try restarting it if its not you.

  • Loading data from an excel file to Oracle Tables

    Hi Everyone,
    Once again I will have to bring some data from some excel file, which I have already done and "know" how to do and I would like to confirm with you all something first.
    What I shall do is the following:
    From one excel workbook file which has a lot of info just in one spread sheet feed some tables with the data coming from it.
    So what I have though is create mane name ranges (Define names on excel) as I need and work with them, but I will be facing with headers on the rows and columns. There is where I doubt if it will be possible. So far, I will not be able to modify the Excel’s file structure.
    Something more or less like this:
    Country1 Country 2
    Sales1 9999999 9999999
    Sales2 9999999 9999999
    Sales3 9999999 9999999
    Total123 9999999 9999999
    Sales4 9999999 9999999
    Sales5 9999999 9999999
    Sales6 9999999 9999999

    Hi SH,
    First of all, I do really appreciate your time, patience and guidance.
    Ok, let me get this straight.
    You will need to create a data server for each Excel Work book
    That means that as I will just work with one excel sheet, I will just have one data server and within it, there will be the spread sheets (excel tabs) and therefore the different named ranges.
    Each of your named ranges will be a data store beneath the data server which can be used as a source model in your ODI interfaces. Therefore if you have a single workbook with 12 sheets for the months, each covered by a single named range, you would have a single data server withe 12 data stores.
    This means that I will have something like this:
    + “My_Workbook.xls” server name (Just one)
    -     Spread sheet 1 (1 or several named ranges)
    -     Spread sheet 2 (1 or several named ranges)
    -     Spread sheet 3 (1 or several named ranges)
    -     Spread sheet n (1 or several named ranges)
    I do think that if my statement above is correct, I think I got the idea. Is it like that?
    I have gotten another question; let’s say for example that in any spread sheet I will have three different named ranges. The difference between spread sheet and spread sheet will be the month within and of course the information. Would it be accurate to bring it like that? That means that so far for twelve month I will bring 36 named ranges.
    Well I think I had explained myself. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further detail is required.
    Best regards.

    You might want to look at the POI project (an open source Jakarta sub-project) that allows you to create/modify/read excel files via Java code. That might be more flexible and easier than what you're currently trying to do.

    We don't know where you posted said query.

  • Is there any way to read the data from an excel file w/o using a loop structure?

    I am retrieving a large amount of data (multiple sheets) from an excel file and would like to extract the entire range without retrieving individual cell values(too slow). I can write an range all at once but cannot read it.

    If you are able to write a block of data, then you should be able to read a block. The four requirements that you want to verify are:
    1. The Range specified must match the exact size and location of the data block you want to read
    2. The returned data is in a 2D array of Variants (either strings or numbers)
    3. Use Variant to Data to convert to 2D DBL or 2D Strings
    4. Check for the correct orientation for your application (use transpose if it is not)

  • Binding data from an Excel file

    Need to have this done like yesterday!  Pressure is on.
    I need to be able to bind an Excel file to my form.  I want to be able to use the data in my Excel file to populate my drop down lists in my form.
    Question: 1.  Can I do this?
    Question: 2   Does the Excel file need to be formatted a certain way?
    Question: 3  Will this work with a user using only Adobe Reader?
    Any assistance given will be greatly appreciated.  Desparate!!!!

    Easiest way is to use the File/SaveAs option in Excel to save the spreadsheet as a comma-delimited file.
    Then you can use any number of tools to import the comma-delimited file into a database table.
    Oracle provides the SQL-Loader tool:
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76955/ch03.htm#2436
    Other tools like TOAD and PowerBuilder will also let you import comma delimited files

  • How to read the data from an excel file into MYSQL by java language

    Hi all,
    I have some data in excel spread sheet and I want to put the data into MYSQL data base. I created the tables in MYSQL> How can I write a program in JAVA that puts the value from excel sheet to mysql??
    I would appreciate your help
    regards

    By typing code at the keyboard... but presumably you meant to ask what code you should type.
    To get data out of Excel there are a few alternatives. The Google keywords I would use to find them are "java excel". I use Apache POI but there are other possibilities, I believe. As for getting the data into MySQL once you have extracted it from Excel, you would use JDBC. But you already knew that, didn't you? You did find the JDBC forum.
    In general it's better to ask a specific question on a forum. If you don't have a clue (which is the way we all start out) then just telling people that isn't going to be helpful. The best you're going to get is links to tutorials, which you could perfectly well have found for yourself by simple web searches.

  • Uploading data from an excel file to ztable

    Hi,
