CSV from Java to Excel

Hi all,
Maybe you can help me? I am using the following line from a Java app
LogWriter.write(TimerFmt.format(d)+ s +"," + p +"\n");
to write to an Excel file - soon far so good.
Do any body know how I can get TimerFmt.format(d) + s + p to print to separate columns.
All assistance very much appreciated

Hi PK
I am sending in two String vars in the method
log.writeLog(n,b);
To a logger class
class Logger
private FileWriter fwrLogWriter;
private File fleLogFile;
The method that recieves them is
public synchronized void writeLog(String s, String p, )throws IOException {
Within this method I add a Timestamp and then write out to an Excel file with the method
fwrLogWriter.write( s +',' + p +"\n");
fwrLogWriter.flush();
Do I need to put in some type separator in the .write()?
Thanks
DC

How to communicate from java to excel?

I need to pass data from java to excel such that it'll create a report.
It should be able to handle images also. ie.
I have a form which contains some data.
I need to read the data from the form and export the data - in the same format in the form - to MSexcel. I should be able to put the data in specific cells of MSexcel.
Please help.

out.print("Line1");
out.print(",col2");
out.print(",col3");
out.println("");
out.print("col1 - line2");

I task that something is wrong in my system configuration.
I work on a Win2000 platform and Office 97.
Someone knows the reason of this error and can suggest what to make.
Thanks in advance.
Antonio M.

Antonio, maybe you can post this back to the Jacob list. As an alternative to Jacob, what about Apache POI or writing the data as comma-delimited and opening the file using Runtime?
Hope that may help.
Good luck.

Extract data from Java to Excel

Apologies for my ignorance in this field but is it possible to extract data from a Java based application (stock charts and the like) directly into Excel? If so could someone please contact me and explain the process in very simple terms as i have no idea how Java works :o)
Many thanks.
Gilsey

Actually I should qualify my "Yes" answer. It is possible for a Java application to output data to Excel (using Jakarta POI for example). Whether it is possible to persuade an existing Java application to do that depends on the application. If it has been programmed to do it, then yes. Or if it has an underlying database where it stores its data, and you have access to that database, it might be possible to extract data from the database into Excel. Otherwise the programming of the application would have to be changed.

Accessing excel from java code

Hello
our system uses reportNet to generate reports. When reports are generated in CSV format we have a problem:
Report consists of people (can be more than one) so under name column we have same name in more than one row. BUT if more than one name is suppose to be in the CSV report then the header (column names row) is again printed.
so for example if i requested rpeort for two names A and B (reportNet uses same template which is executed twice) then report will look like this
Name (header - column name)
A
A
A
A
A
Name (header - column name)
B
B
B
B
I want to be able to remove the second header that comes before B starts.
so i was thinking i would be able to access this excel sheet from java. and keep record of every row. If the row changes from A to B...i delete the previous row (which would end up being the second header).
Can this be done thru java. I havnt before accessed excel sheets from java so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, well CSV is not currently an Excel file, it is a Comma Separated Values
file which can be read through Excel.
Now, if you wish to remove the header, I would purpose that you develop an
application that reads the CSV file, as it is mere text, and that it also reads
another file (lets call it confirguration.txt) in which you determine the pattern
you want to remove, then you just read your report and if a string line
matches the pattern you defined in the configuration.txt file, then you simply
erase it.
And if you keep interested in reading real Excel files (xls), I would
recommend you use POI-HSSF API from Apache.org
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/index.html
Hope this helps, cya around.

Excel from JAVA or C++ -- Urgent -- help

Is there anyway i can use them from my JAVA or C++ code ?
In short, would it be possible to call excel functions from JAVA or C++ code

Actually you can... In quite a few different ways. You can access any COM or OLE object in windows from within java by using the Java/COm bridge, or purchasing shrink wrapped products... The links are below:
These people provide some very cool solutions for java. This link is specifically for excel.

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

Call Excel Macros function from Java

Hi All,
can u guide me How to call excel macros from java.
The thing is first I have to enable macros and then call the macors function.
Is this possible to call from Java. If yes guide me.
Thanks in Advance

Seems like something you'd have to do through COM.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/
HOW you do that is something you'll really have to figure out yourself, its not a Java question.

Reading Excel from Java

Hello,
I would want to read excel data from Java. I do not want to register any excel drivers as I will not be able to know the file to be read before hand. Are there any better ways to solve this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Prasanna

hi prasanna
if you are using jdbc-odbc bridge I would recommend you to test the
program with excel files with varying sizes like 3,5, 12, 20 etc. There
is a some problem with the driver that it chops off some data.
For example if you have 20k excel file the driver may read in 9k chunks so you get 18k of data read and the driver ignores rest 2k.
Make sure of that it works on all sizes of input data.

Using word/excel from java (client or weblogic server)

Hi everybody,
i want to use excel / word functionality from java in two different variants:
-> serverside
-> clientside
I tried the weblogic.comc and i got serveral classes but in the remote-package i got only a utitlity-class.
My knowlege about COM is rather bad.
Does anybody did this bevor and
-> can say me, if it is correct, that i only got a utility-class (so how will i use it from the client ?!)
-> has a example for using Excel / Word from Java in bea weblogic
-> has a example for using Excel / Word directly in a client (not via rmi)
Thanks
Ciao
Sven

Sven, This is a really bad idea. Why don't you tell me
what your trying to do and I wil surely give you a better alternative
