Connecting To A .CSV or Excel File Directly With LightSwitch

Despite my zipcodes.csv file is already present in the debug folder of my project, still my code is not able to find the file.
Regards,
Vishal

When you run the code in debug mode you can place a break point at the point where the code is trying to pick up the file and see what path it expects the file to be at.

  • Macro to compare CSV and Excel file

    Team,
    Do we have any macro to compare CSV and Excel file.
    1) In Excel we should have two text boxes asking the user to select the files from the path where they have Stored
    2) First Text is for CSV file
    3) Second Text box is for Excel file
    4) We Should have Compare button that should run the Macro and Show the Differences.
    Thanks!
    Kiran

    Hi
    Based on my understanding, we need to convert the 2 files into the same format before comparing two different formats files. 
    Here are the options:
    1. Convert the CSV file and Excel file into 2-dim Arrays, then compare them, about how to load a CSV file into VBA array, you can search it from
    internet or ask a solution in VBA forum.
    VBA forum:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=isvvba
    2. Also you can import CSV file to Excel sheet, and then compare them.
    Here is the sample code for your reference:
    ‘import csv file
    Sub InputCSV()
    Dim Wb As Workbook
    Dim Arr
    Set Wb = GetObject(Application.GetOpenFilename("csv file,*.csv", , "please choose a csv file", , False))
    Arr = Wb.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    Wb.Close False
    Range("A1").Resize(UBound(Arr), UBound(Arr, 2)) = Arr
    End Sub
    ‘compare sheet
    Sub CompareTable()
    Dim tem, tem1 As String
    Dim text1, text2 As String
    Dim i As Integer, hang1 As Long, hang2 As Long, lie As Long, maxhang As Long, maxlie As Long
     Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    Columns("A:A").Select
    With Selection.Interior
    .Pattern = xlNone
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .PatternTintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Range("A1").Select
    Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Rows("1:4").Select
    With Selection.Interior
    .Pattern = xlNone
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .PatternTintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Range("A1").Select
    MaxRow = 250
    MaxColumn = 40
    For hang1 = 2 To maxhang
    Dim a As Integer
    a = 0
    tem = Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, 1)
    For hang2 = 1 To maxhang
    tem1 = Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, 1)
    If tem1 = tem Then
    a = 1
    Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
    For lie = 1 To maxlie
    text1 = Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, lie)
    text2 = Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, lie)
    If text1 <> text2 Then
            Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, lie).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
    End If
    Next
    End If
    Next
    If a = 0 Then
    Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
    End If
    Next
    Hope this will help.

  • Distinguishing between CSV and Excel file formats

    I am trying to distinguish between CSV and Excel files.   Most of the files I need to process are CSV, but some have been opened and re-saved in Excel format.  I know about the Excel toolbox available, but haven't used it yet. 
    I need to be able to open a spreadsheet file regardless of if it is in CSV or Excel format.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are two example files, one CSV and one Excel.  Both have .XLS file extensions. 
    Attachments:
    20-4-XLS.xls ‏21 KB
    20-5-CSV.xls ‏8 KB

    Hi Paul,
    I think the matter is not the extention (xls or csv or whatever) but the format of the data written in your file.
    To see what I mean, open the xls file you posted with notepad... What does it look like ?
    You have tobe sure of the format of the file you want to read so that you can develop an appropriate VI... if you want to be able to read different type of data format, do a test before reading the file and then use an appropriate routine for each format.
    Hope this helps you...
    BTW, to read the one named CSV, a simple "read from spreadsheet file" VI will do the job
    When my feet touch the ground each morning the devil thinks "bloody hell... He's up again!"

  • Best way to transfer csv or excel file ??

    Hi
    Can anyone recommend the best way for a customer emailing a csv or excel file to me - how can i guarantee it came from them and hasn't been tampered with. This file is generated from the application i develped if this helps.
    Have looked at public private keys and signatures etc,
    Thx
    Stephen

    1. your customer should have generated a key pair (public/private).
    2. you should have a copy of his public key.
    3. the customer creates a hash (using MD5 for example) from the file he wants to send.
    4. the customer encrypts the resulting hash with his secret key (this is a signature).
    5. the customer sends the file and the encrypted hash.
    After you receive both files:
    1. you create a hash from the excel file received (using the same algorithm the customer used to create the hash).
    2. you decrypt the encrypted hash the customer sent.
    3. you compare both hashes, if both are the same, then the excel file you received is Ok = has not been tampered.
    Hope this helps.

  • Excel 2013 (office 365) crashes every time I opened a excel file directly from Browser or zip file.

    Hi guys,
    I got a problem with my Office 365 that every time I open an office file from IE/chrome browser (i.e. click the document link and save the file to local, open it in the browser after download completed) or under a zip file, no matter it is an excel file
    or word document, the Excel/Word crashes. The Excel/Word will ask me to repair the file if I open the file again. The file will be closed automatically after the repair, when I open the file again it will told me the excel/word itself has just successfully
    registered and ask me to close and re-open the excel again in order to enable editing the file. This is extremely inconvenience, I have to open this file 4 times to edit my file. 
    Could anyone here can help me to resolve the problem?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your description, Excel seems not crash when you opened a local Excel/Word file directly. Where do you store these file? OneDrive, SharePoint or other?
    If possible, please let me see the screenshot of the error dialog.
    Moreover, please open Event Viewer to check whether there's any error about the Excel/Word crash issue.
    Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter. In the Event Viewer, browse to Windows Logs -> Application, there may be some errors after the crash.
    To protect your privacy, you may send the error logs to
    [email protected], we will try to find the cause.

  • Save alv report as excel file directly from program

    Hello guys,
    I require this in my work.
    I want to save the ALV report tat is to be generated in the filepath that is given in the selection screen (want to save it locally eg: my windows desktop) and in the layout which is also given in the selection screen.
    your comments will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Johny

    Hi Johny,
    Actually we have an option to download report output in ALV but it does not download the specified on Selection-screen. For this Create on button for Excell download by setting PF status. and use USER_COMMAND event to trigger when u click on the button and download data to specified path.
    1.
    declare events table like this.
    data :
          i_events  type slis_t_event,
          w_events  like line of i_events.
    2.
    Build events table .
    w_events-name = 'USER_COMMAND' .
    w_events-form = 'USER_COMMAND' .
    append w_events to i_events.
    clear w_events.
    w_events-name = 'PF_STATUS_SET' .
    w_events-form = 'PF_STATUS_SET' .
    append w_events to i_events.
    clear w_events.
    3.
    pass this events table through REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
    4.
    USER_COMMAND and PF_STATUS_SET call back subroutines should be like this in your case. These are nowhere called using PERFORM statement in ur program.
    5.
    PF_STATUS_SET' subroutine should be like this.
    *&      Form  pf_status_set
    form pf_status_set    using extab type slis_t_extab.
    set pf-status 'STATUS1' excluding g_extab.
    "If you write like above Standard status will be gone.
    "For that u have to copy standard status of any ALV program which has standard status.
    "1. goto SE41 tcode. give program SAPLKKBL and status :STANDARD_FULLSCREEN .
    2.Click on the Copy status button below program is ur program and status ur program status.
    3. After that create your own button for Excel downlod.
    endform.                    "pf_status_set

  • Stuck - load the Excel file dynamically with different columns and worksheet names

     I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. Any idea how I could
    approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.

    Hi Chimumu,
    The SSIS stock adapters don't supporting dynamic column mapping, to achieve your goal, you need to use Script Task/Component to read the Excel sheet name and the columns in the worksheet, and then map to the output columns of the script component. You can
    also refer to the following blogs:

  • Importing excel files - problem with single quote

    When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
    When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
    Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
    REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
    REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
    REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
    REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
    REM Error report:
    REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
    REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
    REM *Cause:   
    REM *Action:
    One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?

  • How to attach a word or excel file directly in Email App on iPhone 5s

    The biggest disappointment for me with iOS7 is the inability to attach word, excel and pdf documents directly to a mail in the Mail App instead of attaching them from the app you are using at the time. This is a serious flaw and Apple must by now know that attaching video and pictures is not all that users of their devices do. Surely they need to take this aspect seriously if they want to be taken seriously by business customers!

    HI,
    This is quite possible.
    Actually, before approving or rejecting, the manager has to get email from other approvers who dont have access to SAP or Portal.
    How these approvers are notified about workitem?
    However, you can make use of decision step to approve or reject.
    When Manager will open the work item ,SAP standard functionality can be used to  attach file , here manager can select word file format and attach the required file. then he can approve or reject it.
    This file would be saved as instance of SOFM object and a background method would be required if you want to read the contents.

    HI,
    have a look at tcode cg3z and then FM 'C13Z_FILE_UPLOAD_ASCII'.
    What you can do is, first create the file on presentation server using OLE automation, and then using this FM, write the file to Application server

    I urge you to look at AB2CSV
    Easily choose a group, all groups or all cards to export.
    Complete control over what is exported and what is the delimiter.
    And it's free.
