Could it be that you're really interested in extracting specific values from the html file and then you want to export these values to csv and/or excel?

How do I open a postscript file, like I open an excel file?

I'm trying to open a file that I saved as a .ps.
I want to open it in the same maner as I open an excel file?

To open an excel file, such as *.xls, you need Excel; to open a *.ps file, you need Ghostscript. It's free. You should be able to find it on internet.

"File Now Available" when opening Excel File

When I open an excel file from using the OpenFileDialog VB, there is a bit of a delay. After a few seconds a dialog box pops up saying:
"File Now Available"
This has two buttons "Read-Write" and "Cancel"
1) How do turn the alerts off and have it default to Read Write?
2) The delay in opening can cause issues as the user will not know that there is in fact a delay. The user may then proceed through my form and press the OK button which will cause an error. How do I show a status bar to alert the user that there is some Excel process running in the background (i.e. slowling opening the file) when using the OpenFileDialog? Worse case scenario I can set the enable property of the OK button to False until the file is open.
Thanks

Two thougths -
Use this:
Private Function IsFileOpen(strFullFilePath As String) As Boolean
'http://www.xcelfiles.com/IsFileOpen.html
'Check if File is Open. Works for Excel files, but not text files.
    Dim hdlFile As Long
    'Error is generated if you try opening a File for ReadWrite lock >> MUST BE OPEN!
    On Error GoTo errsub:
    hdlFile = FreeFile
    Open strFullFilePath For Random Access Read Write Lock Read Write As hdlFile
    IsFileOpen = False
    Close hdlFile
    Exit Function
errsub: 'Someone has file open
    IsFileOpen = True
    Close hdlFile
End Function
Or just access the Excel file without "opening it" at all using OLE DB (use SQL to modify it) or ExecuteExcel4Macro.

File/Hadoop CSV input : Discovery of file fails

Hello ,
I'm trying to make the project as described in -
"Hands-on Tutorial: Building a Simple SAP Sybase ESP Project" for SAP Sybase ESP version 5.1 SP04.
I create a project where I add an input adapter of type - File/Hadoop CSV input.
Then in edit properties I enter the directory and the file name . In advanced tab I also set Has Header = TRUE.
Then I click on Schema Discovery and this raises error - "Failed to parse discovery file : parse of file failed ".
I've imported the sample "towermon "project from SCN and this shows the same error !
I've done this before on SP02 and it used to work . Of course the File/Hadoop CSV input adapter did not exist in that release.
Can't quiet figure out what I'm doing wrong . Is this a bug in the software ?Any ideas how to fix this ?
Best regards,
Saty

Hello,
Two things to check:
1) I don't know which file you are using from the "towermon" project. One of the CSV files (input-streams.csv) prepends the stream name and opcode:
isSensorStream,i,2011-06-30T17:00:00.000,32.835,-114.188,Tower,Yuma T70,1,104,0
The other CSV files do not. So you will have to toggle the "csvExpectStreamNameOpcode" parameter to true/false (the default is true).
2) There is a bug in the adapter discovery mechanism where it will return the error Failed to parse discovery file : parse of file failed ":
749503 - Schema discovery does not work for toolkit adapters when unnecessary properties are listed on the adapter.
So for example, in text authoring mode, if you have this:
ATTACH INPUT ADAPTER File_Hadoop_CSV_Input1 TYPE toolkit_file_csv_input PROPERTIES
csvExpectStreamNameOpcode = TRUE ,
dir = 'c:/temp' ,
file = 'input-streams.csv' ,
dynamicMode = '' ,
removeAfterProcess = FALSE ,
csvDelimiter = '' ,
csvDateFormat = '' ,
csvTimestampFormat = '' ,
csvHasHeader = FALSE ,
pollingPeriod = 0 ,
scanDepth = 0 ;
You have to delete the unnecessary properties:
ATTACH INPUT ADAPTER File_Hadoop_CSV_Input1 TYPE toolkit_file_csv_input PROPERTIES
csvExpectStreamNameOpcode = TRUE ,
dir = 'c:/temp' ,
file = 'input-streams.csv' ;
Then switch back to visual authoring mode and try discovery again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Neal

How can I convert a numbers' file from iPad to an excel file on macbook pro?

When I try to open a numbers file from my ipad mini in macbook pro, it appears unformated. How can I solve this situation? I don't have numbers on Macbook pro...is it necessary?

I havne't had this problem myself, so I can only guess, but my first suggestion, if you haven't already, is to try sending it to yourself via email from the ipad & when it asks you for the format, choose excel.

Can I Write Data to a *.xlxsx File Without Screwing Up the Excel File Formatting?

I'd like to programatically add LabVIEW-generated data to a nicely-formatted *.xlsx file, one with all the right borders and column widths, etc. But every time I try to add the LabVIEW data, the xlsx file formatting gets all screwed up and the file gets corrupted. Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

FB,
I was able to find the following link on the NI website. I think it addresses the issue you are describing using the Excel ActiveX interface.

Help, Help! Need to recover a file! Where do autosaved Excel files go?

So, I am using my grilfriend's Mac iBook G$ while my PC gets repaired. I was entering data into Excel for my Masters and accidently entered new data into a couple of boxes with data already in them, wiping out those numbers (but ii wasn't sure which ones I had changed, making all my data suspect). I thought that I had just saved my info, and so I figured the easiest thiing to do would be to quit, hiit 'don't save' and then reopen, which i thought would bring up the file as it was before I entered the incorrect data.
Except...
II hadn't saved for a long time, it seems, II guess I goot too caught up in my work and a lot of time had passed. Anyway, autosave was one, but since I shut thhe fiile myself, it diidn't reopen too the save version.
My question is: When it autosaves, dooes Excell create a new file somewhere, and, if so, does that file still exist soomewhere on the hard drive (I know how to find it on the PC, but not a Mac).
Please help!
Cheers!

Since Excel is not an Apple product, I suggest you head toward the Microsoft Office:Mac forums found at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
That group is dedicated to user questions about MS Office:Mac applications. You'll find more answers in that forum rather than an Apple forum dealing the Mac/Windows compatibility.

Converting an Excel file into a CSV with the DI API

Hello everyone,
it's my first post and also my first project with SBO, As the topic's header implies I have to write a program which converts an excel sheet into a CSV file, I have been reading a little about the DI API, and I would like to have further information about how to use the DI to access file data and/or alter it, other than what is already listed in the tutorials.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amin,
Unfortunately I am not aware of any way to this using only the DI API, it will be neccesary to include some other APIs or manual work.
Off the top of my head I can only think of two workarounds to this:
- Using the recordset and Excel combined. Read all the data from one column in a table and write it to a column in an Excel file possibly using a loop. Once the process of copying all desired columns and their data is complete, save the file as .csv using the excel API. I'm afraid I don't have an example of this. (It also may be possible using Microsofts SMO or another database API rather than the recordset.)
With this approach the drawback is it might take a long time to figure out and develop in the short term, but in the long term would save alot of manual work as it could be automatic.
- The alternative is unfortunately a manual approach: Simply run a query on the table, and then copy all the values from a column and paste it into the excel file.
This has no short term work but is alot of manual work in the long term.
Hope this is useful,
Regards,
Niall

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

Using an Excel file as a dynamic data source? Opinions needed...

I have posted this topic before, but as always; in order to get the relevant correct answer you have to ask the correct question.
I'm trying to create a number of Pricelists linked to an Excel/CSV file. I have a Excel file that contains Pricelist information which is Product specific.
I have had a number of suggestion that follow:
A direct link to the Excel file. PROs: Excel file can be uploaded on FTP and overwritten if (and when) amended. Linking this is easy peasy in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can download info straight away on request - no hassle. CONs: Simply, not everyone has Excel and those who don't can not access the information.
Import Excel file as tabular data. PROs: Fairly easy to do in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can see info straight away. CONs: Can be time consuming on larger Excel files. NOT amendable (so a number of price changes becomes a big job). Can't simply overwrite Excel file on FTP. Larger Excel files can take a lot of page space and thus require tonnes of scrolling).
Use the Excel file as a dynamic data source. --Not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- PROs: ? CONs: Contributor added this suggestion is not a good idea as it performs poorly on the web.
Create a dynamic page using a database and import the Excel file to that....or maintain the price list in the database rather than an Excel file. --Again not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- My understanding of this option is that it will require XML data and SPRY work. Is this correct? Can this be someone who is not an advanced user?
If once again, I'm off the mark and better suggestions can be thought - please do so.
As you can see I'm at a bit of a crossroads so an suggestions, comment, help, links, tutorials or applause would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing the comments this throws up!

Hi
Although not everyone has excel just about everyone can open csv files in some way, if not offer the option to download "open office" which is free for the pc, as for the mac they have a program installed by default to use csv files.
The import tabular data is not really an option for the reasons stated.
Use excel as data source - not a good idea, requires asp.net to work correctly otherwise it does run slow and is not recommended if you are expecting more than a very small number of users.
As for the dynamic with database, this can be done with xml and spry but if you have a large amount of data this is almost as bad as the option above. You are probably better creating a database and importing your excel spreadsheet into this, for tutorials on creating a php/mysql database and set-up of testing server see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/application_development.html.
No matter which way you go with the last option it will require a fair amount of knowledge and experience to do correctly, efficiently and securely.

Create an excel file from java

I am using Jakarta's POI to create an excel file from MySql. The POI works well when a samll amount of data was written from MySql (created .xls file less than 3500KB). The problem is when a large amount of data need to be written to an excel file, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Exception in thread "main" appears. In my project, I really need to have a large amount of data to be wriiten ton excel file. Do somebody has good solution for it?
Thanks

What about using some text files like csv
(comma-separated value) file? It is plain text but
Excel (and other spreadsheet programs) will be able to
read it.
But then there will be no formatting and bells and
whistles. It was just an idea.Excel will also read HTML <TABLE>'s, with full formatting. There are some extra tags for numeric formatting, also. Just create an HTML table, and save to a file with .xls extension, e.g.:
<TABLE>
<TR bgcolor="#00FF7F">
<TH>Agency ID</TH>
<TH>POS ID</TH>
<TH>Machine Serial</TH>
<TH>Disk Serial</TH>
<TH>MAC ID</TH>
<TH>System Manufacturer</TH>
<TH>Machine Type</TH>
<TH>BIOS Manufacturer</TH>
<TH>BIOS Version</TH>
<TH>BIOS Date</TH>
</TR>
