Collapsed groupings in Excel export from FR

I am at a client, they are doing variance reporting. Is there a way coming out that will allow groupings to be exported? For example, their report looks at Current forecast and prior year and then prior year variance. When they initially look at the report the prior year columns are hidden. What they are requesting is to export to excel with the prior year hidden columns collapsed.? Any ideas??
Thanks!

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to point out that I know how to do this with a webapplication but I would need that within an excel export from an ordinary web query.
Could someone help out here?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Execution date in Excel export from a query

Dear all,
I am wondering if it is possible to have the query execution date in an exported excel.
Case: When working in a query it should be possible to export the query to excel. However I am missing the execution date of the query and the last successful data load (which is visible in the webquery).
Anyone has an idea how to achieve that?
Thank you in advance,
Andreas

How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

Questions regarding Excel Export from Table

Hello,
i've implemented the Excel Export described in this blog:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2006/05/04/enhancing-tables-in-webdynpro-java-150-custom-built-table-utilities
It works fine, but i have 2 question:
- You have to add your Columns who want to get in Excel in the ArrayList. I have a table with LayoutOption (make Columns Visible/Invisible) and want to get all visible columns in my Excel list. You can i realize that?
- My Excel List is shown in my existing Browser Window, but i want to open a new Window, how can i do that?
Kind Regards,
Christopher

Hello Cristopher,
For the first Qst:
Lets think in this way; you have set two column fields invisible and in wdModifyView() check if the columns are visible set a flag and accordingly you can set the header at the getColumnInfo() function.
Preferably use switch case to check the ArrayList selection and adding values to it.
For the second Qst:
Its all about the Browser property; where you have to set the option New window should be opened in new window. This will work.
+in case of Mozilla; in Tools->option->Tab->new window should be open in
new window
new Tab
+
Select new window

Excel Export from Discoverer doesn't work

Hello ,
my customer has problems with exporting excel from discoverer.
It works until it says 'open excel', then she gets a white screen and nothing happens anymore, after that, she has to shut down the computer, because nothing works anymore.
And it only happens with a certain discoverer-user.
Another customer has the same problem with the same discoverer-user.
I don't have this problem with the same discoverer-user, everything works fine on my computer.
I don't know what problem this could be, and I don't know, where I must start searching ???
Can anybody help?
Thanks Uta

Hi Uta
It sounds like you might be Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. Microsoft, as always, does not quite tell you everything that they have changed. The big one this time is that Service Pack 2 sets a registry switch that by default prevents Internet Explorer from transferring applications between zones. To Microsoft, running something from a web server (Discoverer) and then running something on your PC (Excel) means running applications in two different zones. With that switch set, your PC cannot switch zones when running Internet Explorer and so cannot open Excel from within Discoverer Plus or Viewer.
To allow Discoverer Plus to call a local copy of Excel you need to reset the switch so that it one again allows zone switching, like the old XP. The switch should be set to 0.
Follow this workflow:
1. Open your registry and look for this setting:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/FeatureControl/FEATURE_ZONE_ELEVATION/iexplore
It is probably set to 1 and it should be set to 0
In the Windows environment:
1. Start | Run | Regedit (to open the registry)
2. Locate the following key path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ZONE_ELEVATION\iexplore.exe
3. Change the value of this setting from 1 to 0 and close the registry editor
4. Ensure that the following settings for the .xls & .xlsx file types are unchecked:
a) Open Windows Explorer
b) Goto Tools | Folder Options | File Types tab
c) Select the Extension XLS for Excel 2003 (or XLSX for Excel 2007) then click on the Advanced button
d) At the botton of the screen are three settings that use checkboxes. If either of the following two are checked, un-check them:
'Confirm Open after Download' and 'Browse in same window'
5. Click the OK button
6. Click the Apply button and close Explorer
7. Re-boot the PC
Let me know if this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Random characters added in Excel export from Adobe Tracker (via fillable PDF from FormsCentral)

Exported fillable PDF from FormsCentral and distributed it via Adobe Pro X. Received two responses and from the Tracker, we exported to Excel. In the Excel columns, there are seemingly random characters and the word "edit" which are not in our question. For example, "_10_8_House_rep_edit;_6S7OYQDcL9nQcNR6j761WQ
Thanks!

1. To edit the PDF follow these steps : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
2. The fillers don't need to have a subscription (paid or free) to fill up the form. They can fill out the PDF and save it to their machine and then submit. Only the author of the form needs to have a paid FormsCentral subscription to collect data via PDF forms.

Unable to perform Calculations on Excel exported from Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Gurus,
I have a custom functionality "Export to Excel" internal table data on my web dynpro application. I dint go with standard ALV feature because it doesnot give flexibility to add colours to excel sheet and add multiple tabs and so i had to write XML ABAP coding in the web dynpro application to achieve this. While passing the internal table data into cells, i created cells with string data type and hence all the fields in the excel are now in char type. Users are unable to perform any calculations because of this issue, i tried to format the cells but it doesnot work. Please help me.
Regards,
Pravs.

Hi,
Just do the following in excel before downloading and check whether it works.
Tools->Options->International tab.
In that mention decimal separator as ,(comma).
Thousand separator as .(dot).
Uncheck use system separators.

Encrypt Excel Export from SQL Server Reporting Services prior to attaching to e-mail

Does SSRS 2012 have a secure e-mail Delivery Extension that would allow the Excel document to be encrypted?
Or is there sample code?
Or is the best approach to consider a Microsoft Partner product such as Database Potential, Inc.'s "Secure Delivery Pack for SQL Server Reporting Services"?
http://www.databasepotential.com/product-p/sdp.htm
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback regarding this topic.
Boyd

Hi Boyd,
Currently, it’s not supported a delivery extension that encrypts documents before sending them in Reporting Services. If you have the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) environment, you can use the following workaround:
1. Using SSIS Script Task to encrypt the report before exporting it to the Excel file.
2. Add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel files to the recipients.
For the details, please refer to the document below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2011/10/encrypt-files-in-ssis.html
In addition, we can try to use .NET API approach. In this scenario, we need capture the Excel file using the WQL Query of FileWatcher, and then encrypt the file, finally email the Excel File.
For the details, please refer to the blog as shown below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2010/12/continuously-watching-files-with-wmi.html

Excel Export From Web Dynpro Alv

Hello,
We are facing a problem and need suggestion. In one of our WD Abap applications the output is displayed in an ALV table. We have a button (provided by standard ALV functions) to export Excel.
So far so good, but the issue is the amount columns display in the portal show the values as per user default settings. For example 123.456,78 whereas on export to excel it shows 12345.78
Is there some way to export to excel with the users regional settings (same as displayed on portal). So far we check, almost all columns follow the regional user default settings except the amount column. Is there someway we can fix this.
Users mention it worked before but not now. Its difficult to verify this statement now.
Kindly help how we could solve this issue.
Best regards,

Excel export from html/jsp

Hi,
I have a jsp-file based on data of a DB2. This data should be exported to an excelsheet, starting the application (not browser plug-in).
Thanks for help.

Hi,
some solution here :
1. if you've create an Excel file, just set the response content type to 'application/vnd.ms-excel' and send the file data to response.
2. write data to response.out, each document line will be a sheet line, every colum are separate by a tabulation
3. write an HTML TABLE which contains data to response.out
Hope this helps.

Question about Excel export from Infoview

Can someone please verify this for me?
I need to be able to export the results of a report to MS Excel. When running a CR on demand, or scheduled, through the InfoView and then exportiing as "Excel with Data Only" we get an error that reads "A request was canceled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server."
I suspect we are getting that error because Excel is not installed on the BOXI server. Is this a possible cause? Any other ideas to check into?
Thank you,
- George

ANd exactly sorry, this is useless. You have not provided any details about your export settings, version of AI, system info, how you are trying to view and so on. Just saying that it doesn't work is simply not good enough.

Export from ALV to Excel - problem with numeric values

hi folks,
when exporting from alv to excel and we have negative values (and using an u.s.a. setting where . and , are different to r/3) negetive values are not shown correctly in excel.
when changing in win nt the regional settings to europe one's (e.g. germany) everything works fine.
any hints welcome,
kind regards
oliver

I guess this has something to do with the excel settings. In the control panel you have regional settings.try some options there. It might work.

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;
