Data garbled during Excel Export....

I am encountering a language encoding problem. There is a column in my table which stores data in Japanese. The data displays correctly (in Japanese) on UI.
Then, I built the export data to excel functionality. However, the data in the generated file for that column is garbled. How could I solve this?
Please help.

Date format in Excel Export

We do see different behaviour of date fields in exported Excel files and are not able to clearly identify why this happens.
And even after reading through dozens of documents, web pages and forum posts it is still not clear how this should work.
The questions are quite simple:
Can we expect that dates in exported Excel files (exported from for example the ActiveX viewer) will be formatted as per the format set during the design of the Crystal report or will it follow the Regional Settings on the PC where it is exported?
If it does not follow the Regional Settings is there any 'easy' way to accomplish that?
Thanks and regards, Stig

But I do not know what gave you the impression that there is any SDK or any development going on here.
1) ActiveX is used in one of two scenarios:
a) COM SDK
b) BusinessObjects Enterprise
Never in the CR designer... Not sure why you'd place a question that in your mind clearly concerns BusinessObjects Enterprise into the Report Design forum. That was most certainly an incorrect forum by the above definition...
2) Given the info you provided, I had a 50% chance of being correct about SDK...
3) Since you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise ActiveX and have a question on that, you want to pose the query to the correct forum, which is [SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise/Edge, and SAP Crystal Reports Server Administration|BI Platform;.
Re.
Our question is just a simple question related to using the standard export function via the export button in the ActiveX viewer.
- Trust me, in light of my guess re SDK, your question was not "simple"...

[Forum FAQ] How do I export each group data to separated Excel files in Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that a report grouped by one field for some reasons, then the users want to export each group data to separated Excel files. By default, we can directly export only one file at a time on report server. Is there a way that we can split
the report based on the group, then export each report to Excel file?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with the group values to filter the report based on the group, then create a data-driven subscription for the report which get File name and parameter from the group values.
In the report, create a parameter named Name which use the Name field as Available Values (supposing the group grouped on Name field).
Add a filter as below in the corresponding tablix:
Expression: [Name]
Operator: =
Value: [@Name]
Deploy the report. Then create a data-driven subscription with Windows File Share delivery extension for the report in Report Manager.
During the data-driven subscription, in the step 3, specify a query that returns the Name field with the values as the group in the report.
In the step 4 (Specify delivery extension settings for Report Server FileShare), below “File name”option, select “Get the value from the database”, then select Name field.
Below ‘Render Format’ option, select Excel as the static value.
In the step 5, we can configure parameter Name “Get the value from the database”, then select Name field.
Then specify the subscription execute only one time.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Updating data in Xcelsius 2008 Export from Excel Spreadsheet

Xcelsius 2008 newbie question....
I have created a Xcelsius export (.swf) that display my data. However it appears the data is static after exporting.
I am at a loss as to how you force it to update/refresh using the connections used in the excel.
Am I missing something? I cannot find a straight answer, do need LiveOffice?
How do I have an (.swf) export file that refreshes data itself????

The easiest way to get data to update in your swf is to create a connection in the Data Manager. After the connection is setup you can add a connection refresh button to allow the swf viewer to trigger that connection.
To get data to refresh automatically, you can setup the connection to trigger or update on interval.

Excel export are merging cells for data on multiple lines !

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, when we are doing an export to Excel with have an unexpected formatting.
For example the value of the name is on 2 lines:
=> So, on Excel the result is on 2 lines but merged. We want to have this result only on one cells.
Remark: if we delete the 2nd lines, because cells are merged we obtain the expected result.
Proposal A:
Are they any set-up available concerning the formatting of Excel ?
Proposal B:
Could we run some VBA when we click on Export button to make queries on the Excel ?

When they introduced Unicode support in Crystal 9 (I believe), they had to completely re-write the export routines. At that time, they made a decision to change the functionality of the excel export. Crystal is attempting to remain absolutely faithful to the graphical layout of the report as you see it in the viewer. So it creates merged cell sections, empty columns between columns, and empty rows to give you as close to exactly what you see in the viewer as possible. Unfortunately, the result is typically less than useful. Iu2019ve had several conversations with Business Objects (now SAP) with regards to this when they changed it between versions 8.5 and 10, and they have no intention of changing the functionality as it now exists.
There is a document which is now likely somewhere on the SAP portal that explains what you need to do to obtain the best results when exporting to excel.
The jist of it is this:
Line up all of the columns detail data with thier headers, and make sure that data fields are the same size as thier headers.
Line up all rows (headers and detail rows). (ie: select everything in the row, right click, align tops, and make the same height)
cram everything as close together as possible. zero space in the report translates to zero extra collumns and rows in the export.
the other option is to use the export to data only functionality, but that may not be what you're looking for either.

Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...
Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\EXCEL.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
EXCEL.EXE
WordPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\WINWORD.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
WINWORD.EXE
PPTPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\POWERPNT.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
POWERPNT.EXE
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
ExportDataFullPrecision=true
To me this does not seem the way to go
This did not correct my problem.
Any ideas?
thanks
Erich

Hello,
Even we have the same issue.And changed the path in webanalysis.properties file.And it worked in entire report but in drillthru reports, export to excel 2010 didn't work and prompting to select the path to excel.Does anyone has solution for this??

How to export data to an excel by preserving styles

Hi All,
I am trying to export data to an excel using ColdFusion. Below is my code.
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=dashboard.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">
<table width="200" border="1">
<tr>
    <td width="40"> </td>
    <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="40"> </td>
   <td width="160">

      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
When I try to execute above code by commenting <cfheader><cfcontent> then the output is perfect. styles are preserved. And when I uncomment <cfheader><cfcontent> and execute code, then an excel file will get open. But all the styles are lost. So how to preserve all styles(table width etc.) in excel.
Can anybody please assist me on this. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoz.

I copied your code and did the test. Result: no problem.
However, I used the following table data in my test. Did you use any data in yours? To fully test an HTML table, you have to put in some data.

<table width="200" border="1">
<tr>
    <td width="40">xxx</td>
    <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">AAA</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ccc</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">eee</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ggg</td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">&n b s p;</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ddd</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">fff</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">hhh</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="40">yyy</td>
   <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">111</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">333</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">555</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">&n b s p;</td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">222</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">444</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">666</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">888</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
Two other things to note. First, I have used &n b s p; for empty table-data. Secondly, though the MIME type you have used for excel might work, the correct value is application/vnd.ms-excel.

Execution date in Excel export from a query

Dear all,
I am wondering if it is possible to have the query execution date in an exported excel.
Case: When working in a query it should be possible to export the query to excel. However I am missing the execution date of the query and the last successful data load (which is visible in the webquery).
Anyone has an idea how to achieve that?
Thank you in advance,

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to point out that I know how to do this with a webapplication but I would need that within an excel export from an ordinary web query.
Could someone help out here?

Export data to MS Excel in Adobe interactive form

Hello Experts,
I am using Webdynpro Java and ALCD 8.2. Can anyone help me out with functionality of Exporting adobe form data to excel file.
Thanks in advance,
Swami

Hi Swami,
When you say exporting data to a excel spread sheet.
Does that mean once the form is generated then user should able to export to excel, if so below is the link for that.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/709565?tstart=1
if its like for an interactive forms where user submits data the on submit event if you want to publish the form data to a spread sheet, I believ there should be a lot of posts on generating CSV files from ABAP code. this is also possible from WDJ provided if you have the respective jar files (on submit even, read data from the context, process to required format, call the excel API and write to it.)
If from ABAP handler the post from the other blogger here might help.
does this help, let me know if you are looking for something more specific.
Cheers,
Sai

Each table having different sheet in same CSV file .
A CSV file is a flat file and don't have "Sheets"; you would have to Export to an Excel file, which supports several Sheets in one file.

How to Export Table Data to a excel sheet using OPENROWSET

Hi Team,
I would like to Export table data to a excel sheet by using "OPENROWSET" command in SQL Server but I am getting the
below error message
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
Please help me on how to export the table data to an excel sheet by using "OPENROWSET" in SQL Server

I know this is old so I assume you've fixed this. However, for anyone else looking at this forum, I'd recommend using a union or a table join.
Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a <where clause>
union
Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b <where clause>
or
use a type of join.
If both table selects return the same number of columns but different data just reference them as a variable like fred, and Ted
Select fred.1, fred.2, fred.3 from (Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a) fred
union
Select Ted.1, Ted.2, Ted.3 from (Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b) Ted
or again some type of join of these two sets
Select * from
(Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a) a
INNER JOIN (Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b) b ON b.1 = a.1
This would give you 6 columns of data a1-3, and b1-3
We don't know from your description what format your spreadsheet is in. These just give you the idea. Think of the sub-selects as a Table. It's just named "fred". Once your select holds all the data you need, then export the data to the spreadsheet. Use
the horsepower of the database before trying to do a multple update of the same spreadsheet.
Does this give you enough to fix what you were trying to do?

Exporting table data to MS-Excel Sheet(enhanced Web Dynpro Binary Cache)

Hi experts,
I am trying to implement the functionality of downloading the contents of a webdynpro screen to excel sheet. In order to implement the functionality of excel download i used the following blog.
[/people/subramanian.venkateswaran2/blog/2006/08/16/exporting-table-data-to-ms-excel-sheetenhanced-web-dynpro-binary-cache ]
In this blog they have used javaexcel api to implement the excel functionality. I face some problems
while implementing it.
i) The use of "Label label = new Label(0, 2, "A label record");
sheet.addCell(label); " is not supported. It says that a constructor for label with
(int, int, str) parameter is not available.
ii) Then i implemented it with "Label label = new Label("A label record"); " Then i deployed it. I got a runtime exception saying that " java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: jxl.format.CellFormat ".
This cellFormat is an interface available in the jar. I am using jexcelapi_2_6_9_1.4 version. Do i have to
download some other versions.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check the following steps while creating External Library DC:
1) creating an Extneral library DC
2) import the JARs to the libraries folder of the External Library DC project
3) Right-click on each of the JARs imported to the project and add them to the public part.
This DC is now ready to be used as a build-time reference that will allow CBS to build the "main" Web Dynpro application that will use the external libraries. Next, we have to create a new Web Dynpro DC to hold the class files here are the steps:
1) Create a new Web Dynpro DC
2) Create a new public part, selecting the "Can be packaged into other build results" option
3) Rename the JARs as Zip files and extrct the full content (folders and class files) to your root folder
4) Import the folders and files to the src/packages folder
5) Expand the public part node that was created and select the "Entities" node, right-click it and choose Edit
6) In the Entity Type list select the "Folder" option then in the selected entities tree pick each of the folders that you imported in step 5 (above)
7) Now do a DC build and a DC deploy of the project
Then check-in, activate, and release any activities you have associated with creating these two projects. In the DC perspective, refresh the Active DCs and Inactive DCs to ensure that both new DCs appear in the Active list. Now we have to setup the references to these DCs in our main Web Dynpro application. To do this, follow these steps:
1) Open the Web Dynpro perspective and right click the Used DCs node then choose "Add Used DC.."
2) Pick the public part of the External Library DC that we created (first) and set it to have a Build Time dependency
3) Again, right click the Used DCs node and choose "Add Used DC.." then choose the public part of the Web Dynpro DC that we created and give it a Run Time dependecy (weak) and click finish.
4) Now, due to what I think is a bug. You must right click on the Web Dynpro "used DC" that you just added in the previous step, and set the run time dependency again (it seems to revert to the default values for some reason)
5) Now do a DC build and a DC deploy on the "main" web dynpro application.
6) Check-in, activate, and release any activities associated with adding these references and then others on your team may use the classes in the external libraries within the Web Dynpro project.
Regards.
