Data generation in excel format using utl_file

Hi,
I am exporting table data into excel files by using utl_file. But it is getting generated in the server
directory where database is running? So, how can i get the file at client machine (As in toad or sql navigator
we can query a table and store the data in client machine in excel format).
What are the options:- As per my thinking
I will have to ftp those files back to client machine using shell script?
Is there any direct way to generate these files in client machine?

Anyway, I think you need to test to see which methods works for you. To me it sounds like your clients need a database application, not an Excel sheet.

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

Error while downloading output in excel format using FM Gui_download

Hello All,
<removed by moderator>
While downloading the necessary output of a Ztransaction in excel format the excel file only shows one 1 record whereas in the output there were 88 records.
When I am downloading it in other formats like Rich text etc. the data is getting downloaded correctly as per the output.
Now this problem is occuring in Production & Quality whereas in Development the excel file is downloading data correctly.
I have compared the code in the different clients as well as debugged it but the code is the same in each case.
There is no data corruption in the final internal table as well.
So what else can be done?....
The data needs to be downloaded as it is in the output in the excel format.
Kindly give me some suggestion and help me out in this regard.

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?

How to read a .csv file(excel format) using Java.

Hi Everybody,
I need to read a .csv file(excel) and store all the columns and rows in 2d arrays. Then I can do the rest of the coding myself. I would like it if somebody could post their code to read .csv files over here. The .csv file can have different number of columns and different number of rows every time it is ran. The .csv file is in excel format, so I don't know if that affects the code or not. I would also appreciate it if the classes imported are posted too. I would also like to know if there is a way I can recognize how many rows and columns the .csv file has. I need this urgently so I would be very grateful to anybody who has the solution. Thanks.
Sincerely Taufiq.

I used this
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new FileReader ("test.csv"));
// and
StringTokenizer parser = new StringTokenizer (str, ", ");
                while (parser.hasMoreTokens () == true)
                { //crap }works like a charm!

How to Export SSRS report into Excel format using query string

Hello all,
I am new to SSRS world.
Last night i was trying to add a hyperlink on the SSRS report (.rdl) file, by clicking which we can export the report into "Excel" format, but with no luck.
Can anybody tell me how to form the hyperlink, so that we can export the report with its current content ( I mean the report content generated by selecting some parameter values)

Hi Suman85,
Based on your scenario, you want to add a link on the SSRS report file, and then click it you can export the report into “Excel” format.
Just as kishan1901 said , you can add a textbox to your report and type in the words “Click here and export the report
to excel” .Then right-click the textbox and select Properties. Switch to Navigation tab, click the radiobutton of ‘Jump to URL’ and type in the expression ,here is just a example:
="http://vyof1884200/ReportServer$youhoo?/My+Adventure+Works/Product+Sales+and+Profitability+by+Month&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=excel"
Then preview the report ,you will see
Click here and export the report to excel
when you move the mouse to it ,the mouse will become a hand ,then left-click, it will jump out a dialog box to indicate user whether the excel file should be saved , opened or canceled.
I think this is what you want, if you have any further requirement, could you please describe it in more detail? We would give you some resolution or workaround.

EXCEL formatting using WEBDYNPRO ABAP

Hi
Can we format the cells while downloading a file in EXCEL format in webdynpro and also can we insert a logo in the downloaded excel? Can any one help on this ?
Thanks in Advance
Srini -

Yes you can. (you can create your own XML formatted Excel file. The details of how the file needs to be formatted are publicly available. This info is not specific to SAP so you'd probably find better resources outside of SCN.)
Is there an SAP standard API to do this? - no, not currently.
However, the abap2xlsx community code is working to build a freely available API to do this. you might want to check out their site, wiki, blog.
I don't think it currently supports images, but that is certainly planned.

Is it possible to insert data into two Excel worksheets using Report Generation Toolkit?

I'm using the toolkit to insert data into two separate worksheets in Excel using named cells. The problem is that it tends to favor one sheet or the other. In other words, one sheet will have data and the other no data and vice versa. (Sometimes I get data in both sheets.) Is there something I can do to clear this up or is what I'm trying to do unreasonable? I would like to use two worksheets so one sheet receives text and data. The other sheet is used to format the data into a printable report. (i.e. using Excel's CONCATENATE function) The second (report) sheet is also used to receive plots (JPEG files) from LabVIEW. I'd send the plot images to the first sheet, but I can
not see a way to automatically transfer images from sheet to sheet. I'm using LV 7.1, Win2000 and Toolkit v.1.0.1

Hi,
You can use the "Excel Get Worksheet.vi" under All Functions >> Report Generation >> Excel Specific >> Excel General to specify a particular worksheet as the current worksheet. Then, you can specify which worksheet you want to write to in your VI.
Let me know if you have any further questions and good luck!

How to export data to an excel file using VBScript

I'm trying to create a VBScript in DIAdem (V9.1) which automatically saves all the current channels in the data portal to an excel file. I've tried using 'Call ExcelExport' and specify a full file path but the file is never created. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
There are a couple of other things you can try. If you don't like Ingo's suggestion about multiple Excel STP files, your only real option is to create an ASCII file. Note that you can give the ASCII file an extension of *.CSV or even *.XLS, and Excel will read it right in.
So the question boils down to how to format the ASCII export correctly and quickly.
You can use the DAT file approach Ingo mentioned and even re-write the file with VBS to include a few header lines of your own choosing. Note that this approach does NOT support text channels. There is an example of this in the zip file attached below.
You can alternatively use the CSV export function in DIAdem 9.1 to output an ASCII file with the name of each channel as the single header row above all the values. There is an example of this in the zip file attached below.
You can also just read the values from the DIAdem channels and write them out to an ASCII file cell by cell, managing everything with VBScript calls. There is an example of this in the zip file attached below.
I hope that helps,

Error writing data in a flat file using UTL_FILE feature

Hi All,
I have written a package which fetches data from four different cursors and inserts into a temporary table.
Now this temporary table is used to write data in a file using the UTL_FILE feature.
fhandler :=
UTL_FILE.fopen (l_path,'Demand_Transactions_'
|| TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI')
|| '.txt',
'w',
max_linesize => 32767
This table has 62593 records and when it starts writing data into the file from the table it errors out after writing 30045 records with the error - ORA-01722: invalid number.
Can anyome please advise me is it because of the max_linesize => 32767. If not then what can be the possible reason.
Any help in this would be highly appreciated.

The error would indicate that you have a character to number conversion going on somewhere but the characters are not numeric so it's failing that conversion.
This doesn't sound like a UTL_FILE issue, but more to do with how you are building up your strings to output to the file.
You would need to show us your code that builds up the lines you are writing out, with details of the datatypes of any of the columns/variables included in that.
