Column format spool to excel

I'm spooling a file to Excel and all is working except for the ID field. It is a 10 character field of numbers that loses the leading zeroes. So 0000138750 appears in Excel as 138750. Is there a column format that I can use that will translate correctly?

Hi,
You aren't really spooling to Excel, you are probably spooling a comma sepearated (.csv) file. When that is opened, Excel recognized that the data are really numbers and displays as number, i.e., without leading zereos.
So, this is really an Excel issue, and I don't think you can do much about it, except from applying format in Excel.. Not so long ago, I tried foolling around with quotes and stuff. At the time, no luck, but maybe you'll do better.

Report output format xml, missing column while open in excel for single row

Dear,
There is a strange case, we have an customize concurrent program to display output in xml format. Now Problem is, if query get single record on the bases of parameter then there is no column heading available in excel. However, if parameter meet more than one record then there is no issue with column heading and reports is working find.
Pls have an idea?

Dear Pk,
Here is an example, will show the actual problem. Let explain you, first i have run report by restricting query on single record which output name is "output1", again i run same report by changing where clause so it return multiple row which is "output2". if you past code in text document each one and save it as xml but when you open this file in excel report you will find column heading which rows consist multiple row, however, ouput1 file have no heading columns that's a problem.

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

Send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0.

Hello All,
I have a requirement to send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0. Please help.
Thank you.
Nalini

Hi Jigar,
Thanks for your response.
Anything is like download to desktop or email is fine. But in MHTML format.
We can download the ALV report in MHTML spreadsheet format when we run the program online. But the program is running for long time and going to dump.
So i scheduled it as background job and downloading the output in .HTML format. But user wants the spool/report output in .MHTML spreadsheet format.
I can write the code. Instead of changing the existing program I would like to know is there any way (from standard SAP) that I can get the background spool in MHTML spreadsheet format.
Thanks,
Nalini

EXport Data to Excel with Columns format

Dear All,
This may be a basic question, however, I just need a tip to conclude my issue.
I have a Report that displays Financial Budget data (AFE). I am able to download to the Excel sheet. However, I need to conclude it with the column formatted at code itself and not given to the user.
That is I want to set couple of column to Numeric, and Set Colum width defined at Code level itself.
I am already using the Function module : MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT

With this function I can send a spool in pdf format by email. But, now I need send a spool in Excel (xls) format by email. I try to disconnect 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' and 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' but doesnt work.
Can you help me?
A lot of thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi.
I do not think it is feasible to create a worthwhile Excel file from a SAP spool file.
I have reports that send output as Excel attachments to email, but the code (including function modules etc) is too much to post here.
You can use OLE to create an Excel file, but this will not generally work when the report is run in the background.
So my approach is to make the report write an Excel XML file (that's just text after all), and send that as an XLS email attachment. When the email receiver double-clicks on the attachment, it fires up Excel and brings in the data. Most users would not realise that it's not a native Excel file.
One nice touch is to have two sheets in the Excel file, one with the main report and the other with the selection criteria.
Of course there is a lot of work getting started with this.

PDF export for columns formatted as HTML

Hello,
I've created a report having some columns formatted as HTML .
in the PDF file exported from BI Answers dashboard, HTML tags are shown instead of formatted value.
(for example : "div style="width:100%;background-color:#FF3300">89.12%</div" instead of 89.92%)
Any ideas how to fix this ?
BI version : 10.1.3.3.3
Thank you.

Hi dragosv,
I've also encountered similar problems to that. The OBIEE process does not first evaluate the code before it exports to other tools like PDF and Excel.
Here are two options:
1) Submit an SR to Oracle and have them declare it a bug
2) Print to HTML first, then print the HTML to PDF. It adds a step but at least you can download your document the way you want.
Best regards,
-Joe

Export of DATE column not recognized by Excel

SQL DEVELOPER version 2.1.1.64
just installed.
When I export a table to Desktop as XLS or CSV, all the DATE columns show this format:
11-MAY-09 12.00.00.000000000 AM
MicroSoft Excel will not convert this to standard format: MM/DD/YYYY
I changed NLS setting in SQL DEVELOPER for Date and TimeStamp, Excel still does not convert.
Any suggestions?

(1)
export from the context menu on the table's navigator tree node
(2)
export from worksheet result set
(3)
export from table Data tab
All three exports work.
Each DATE column in the export file shows the TIMESTAMP value.
Unfortunately, after the export, when I apply the DATE format inside of Excel using "Format Cells",
the data in the Excel column does not change to MM/DD/YYYY
WHY DOES APPLYING FORMAT INSIDE EXCEL FAIL?
THIS IS MY QUESTION.
(4)
copy the result set from SQL*Developer (CTRL-A, then CTRL-C or CTRL-SHIFT-C) and paste in Excel.
The DATE column shows value in MM/DD/YYYY format and I can change the format.
This works but not for large amounts of data.

I need how to load data from MS Excel(csv format) to NW Excel

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP MS to NW Manually.
I need how to load data from MS excel (csv format) to NW excel .
For example 2008 budget data.
Could you please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards
Krishna

Hi,
You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
Thanks,
Sreeni
