Data from query to excel

I'm using SQL to query a database which works fine. Then I want to pass it to excel from within Labview. So intially I just have it reading row by row, column by column to take in data. Well this can take forever with a lot of info from the database. Is there a faster way than just by using for loops to do this?
I guess if it doesn't work, I'll just go back to doing it in excel.

But if your strings are not actually representations of numerics, or if you just want to write them to a spreadsheet file without converting to numbers first, you can do it easily by using Array to Spreadsheet String and Write Characters to File (see attached image).

Query Data From Oracle to Excel

Dear all,
Please guide me to solve.

Question's Caption is : Data From Oracle to Excel
While you are asking :
data in execel (windows ) move to Oracle Database table (Linux *64)Anyway, if your question is export data from Excel to Oracle then below thread may be of your interest which are saying that you have to install Dg4ODBC on Windows and use the ODBC driver there.
When running DG4ODBC on Unix you need an ODBC driver on this Unix box which can connect to the MS Excel file. I'm not aware of any suitable driver so far that fulfills the ODBC level 3 standard required for DG4ODBC.
So instead of using DG4ODBC, get the Windows software of DG4ODBC and install it on a Windows machine. You can then connect from your Oracle database to the Dg4ODBC listener on Windows which then spawns the DG4ODBC process. This DG4ODBC process then uses the MS Excel ODBC driver to connect to the Excel sheet.

hi all ,

And to top that you've come onto the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL forum to ask a question about TOAD (a non-oracle product) and Excel (a non-Oracle product).
In answer to your question however, when you go to export your data from TOAD do you have the "Display all results in grid" option checked (which is the default). If so, then as it queries all the data and tries to write it out to a CSV file, it will also try to load all that data into the grid within TOAD, which can cause it to run out of memory. Uncheck that option and TOAD will just read the data and write it to the file.

Problem while opening data from mysql in Excel

Hi friends
when i try to download data from MySQL to excel sheet I am getting error of
This file is not in a recognizable format.
. If you know the file is from another program which is incompatible with Microsoft Office Excel,click Cancel then open this file in its original application.If you want to open the file later in Microsoft Office Excel,save it in a format that is compatible,such as text format.
etc
Code is
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("xxxxxx");
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("SAP#" + "\t");
sb.append("x-plant status" + "\t");
sb.append("Total Amount" +"\t");
sb.append(">90 days" + "\t");
sb.append("\n");
try
String query="select * from temp_Xplant";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
while(rs.next()){
sb.append(rs.getString("sapNo") + "\t");
sb.append(rs.getString("status")+ "\t");
sb.append(rs.getString("amt") + "\t");
sb.append(rs.getString("days") + "\t");

catch (Exception e)
out.println("error");
conn.close();
st.close();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"test.XLS\"");
I can open them after clicking OK, but before that it is showing the above error message

hi,
there are some specific restrictions in downloading data in alv.
i.e you cannot have morethan 1024 characters that can be downloaded in single row.
so change your report columns accordingly.

How to Save Data from DataGrid to Excel Sheet?

Hi All,
I am trying to use Adobe Flex 3.0 for making web pages.
I want to save the data from DataGrid and Advanced DataGrid of Adobe Flex 3.0 to Excel Sheet file. I am trying Flex Help, but didn't find answer for it.
In the application there is a button for 'save' by pressing which the 'Save As' window should appear.
And giving the path to the '.xls' file, the data from DataGrid should be saved on that location in .xls format.
This is my requirement.
If anybody knows how to do this please help.
Thank You,
Sharad

Hi
Using document.applet.saveAsCSVFile(); code you can not get data in proper format.
For one of my application i have stored the data from Grid to excel.
But i am not sure about Adobe Flex 3.0, my code will work or not.
Also you need to make the "Initialize and Script Activex Control Not marked as Safe" as enabled in your IE.
You can share ur email. So that i can send the code. Here I am not able to paste the code.
Thanks

Copying data from Plus to Excel

Hi,
We are having a problem with the Plus version (10.1.2.48.18).
When copying some data from a Plus workbook the headers that standabove columns aren't being copied. This is different then in the full version where headers are being copied.
Is there someway to include header information in a ctrl-c/ctrl-v action? Or is this simply not possible?
TIA.
Jacco

I understand you copy the data from Plus to Excel using ctrl-c/ctrl-v action directly and you can have errors. You have to export directly from plus.
To do it, you have to click File in the menu and select Export to Excel.
Hope this helps.

Export data from forms to excel

HI
In my application im trying to export data from forms to excel.Everything works fine.First of all im using get_file_name for selecttion of file and passing it to ole2 package as follows
FILENAME := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'XLS Files (*.xls)|*.xls|',dialog_type=>SAVE_FILE);
     ARGS:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     oLE2.ADD_ARG(ARGS,Filename);
     OLE2.INVOKE(WORKSHEET,'SAVEAS',ARGS);
The problem is if i select an existing file the get_file_name itself raises one message ".....file already exists Replace an existing file?"
Similarly the excel also also raises the same message "".....file already exists Replace an existing file?".I want to suppress atleast one of them? Could anyone help for this problem?
appreciate ur help
THANKS

Looks like...
ole2.set_property( ex_app, 'DisplayAlerts', false );
where "ex_app" variable Excel Application -
     ex_app:=     ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
and more Question:
When i close excel app - in process viewer i see "excel.exe"
ole2.release_obj don't work :(

Filter data from Powerpivot to Excel

Hi Everyone
Is there a way to filter data from Powerpivot to Excel so that you are only selecting a subset of records to pivot over in Excel?
Paul

Hello Paul,
Your requirement isn't quite clear for me, can you explain it more detailed, please?
If you add a PivotTable with PowerPivot as data source, then you can use slicer/filter in the PivotTable to filter a subset of the existing data.

Extract data from Oracle in excel file

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to extract data from Oracle in excel file and the excel worksheet name should be "Data".
for eg. excel file name "AR Data_DDMMYY" and excel worksheet name "Data"
I have used the UTL_FILE API to extract the tab delimited data which can be opened in excel but it is not exactly an excel file as the worksheet name is same as the file name.
I tried using utl_file.fcopy and frename.
Is there any way to do this using PLSQL?
select * from v$version;
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
"CORE 10.2.0.5.0 Production"
TNS for HPUX: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.5.0 - ProductionSample Code:
declare
cursor c is
select * from scott.emp;
v varchar2(100);
f utl_file.file_type;
file_name varchar2(100) := 'AR Data.xls';
dir varchar2(50) := 'CESDIR191710';
--select * from dba_directories

f := utl_file.fopen(dir, file_name, 'W');
v := 'EMPNO'||chr(9)||'ENAME'||chr(9)||'JOB'||chr(9)||'SAL'||chr(9)||'HIREDATE'||chr(9)||'DEPTNO';
utl_file.put_line(f, v);
for i in c
loop
v := i.empno||chr(9)||i.ename||chr(9)||i.job||chr(9)||i.sal||chr(9)||i.hiredate||chr(9)||i.deptno;
utl_file.put_line(f, v);
end loop;
utl_file.fclose(f);
--utl_file.frename(dir, file_name, dir, replace(file_name, '.xls', '_')||to_char(sysdate, 'MMDDYY')||'.xls', false);
utl_file.fcopy(dir, file_name, dir, replace(file_name, '.xls', '_')||to_char(sysdate, 'MMDDYY')||'.xls');

Hi,
I was able to generate the excel 2007 file with the data using the package from below link;
http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
but the requirement is to generate excel 2003 file.
I tried changing the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note while opening the file "The file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"Then you have three options:
1) stop using anton's package and find another one that supports the old and deprecated version of Excel 2003
2) write your own package to produce an Excel file.
3) Upgrade your version of Excel to a recent version
I tried the programs from other links on the forum but I am still getting this message. The client does not want this message to be displayed as the excel file works as an input to another system.
Can anyone help me with the issue?
Also, is it true that the programatically generated excel file is actually an xml file which is renamed to .xls and hence it shows the message while opening such files?Yes, Excel supports several different formats for it's files. By default, if you save an XLS files from Excel, it writes it out in a Microsoft proprietary binary format, which you would be hard pushed to replicate easily from PL/SQL. Excel also has the ability to save it's files as XML format, which is more readable and easier to produce programatically, whilst still allowing you to have multiple sheets, formulas and formatting included in it. That's the format that most people who need formatting and multiple sheets opt for when programatically generating their data as excel workbooks. (There's also an SLYK format that people used to use before that, but it's not as flexible)
If you want to write your own, the easiest thing to do is to start with a blank workbook in Excel, and put in your basic requirements e.g. a couple of named sheets, and some data in different formats (number, date, text etc.) and different formatting options etc. Save that file in XML format from Excel and then open up the file using notepad/wordpad to look at the structure. There'll be a whole load of redundant rubbish Microsoft put in there, but you should be able to figure out the basic structure of XML required to give you what you want.
