Date format in spreadsheet exported from IW28/IW37/IW38

When I export search results from IW28, IW37 or IW38 to a spreadsheet and a date column is the first column, it gets exported as text in YYYYMMDD format. If I move the date column to the right, it gets exported in the proper date format.
Presumably this is an issue in other search transactions as well.
David Macindoe

Hello David,
You have two options to fix this.
1. If you are using the list option to export, then you need to keep the no of key coulmns as blank to fetch the same format in the first column from SAP.
2. If you find any issues keeping key coulmns as blank, then you need to select all and right click the mouse and go to spredsheet option. This will also fetch you the same format from SAP
Hope this helps

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.

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"...

Different Date Formats in the same "From"

Hello
We used different date formats depending on the users language.
In a report this is simple to implement ... read the date field twice (in different formats dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy) and display only one based on the language.
I want to be able to do the same in a "form" which updates a date. In this case the about is not allowed.
Has anyone have solution for this using "APEX" forms or do a need to write a process to achieve this?
Thanks
Pete

Pete,
You don't specify what version of Application Express you're using, so I'll assume APEX 3.1 or later.
Are you setting the date format yourself, based upon the user's language?
1) You could have the application's language derived from Browser, and then APEX would automatically set the NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY settings accordingly. Then, I would simply use 'DS' as the Application Date Format. For Date Pickers on a form, I would use item type 'Date Picker (use Application Date Format)'.
2) If you're already determining the date format yourself and you don't want APEX to do it for you, ensure that you are setting this value in an application item (e.g., PETE_DATE_FORMAT). Then, you could still use Application Date Format with a value of &PETE_DATE_FORMAT. (inclusive of the trailing period).
When you use Application Date Format, the conversion should happen automatically for you so that you don't have to code this yourself on the Form.
I hope this helps.

How do I change the date format in Forms Central from mm/dd/yyy to dd/mm/yyy?

I'm using Forms Central on a Mac and need to convert the US date format to the one used in Australia ie from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy. I've tried Field properties and can't see any other options. Is there a quick fix somewhere?

This is covered in the free documentation provided by Adobe for Acrobat JavaScript.

Use date objects
Convert the date string to the date object, then use the util.printd method to reformat the date object as needed.

CLIENT_OLE2 date formatting problem while reading from Excel

I have installed webutil package and tested that everything works by running webutil_demo as well as WU_TEST_106 form. Then I had implemented reading from Excel sp. sheet using Oracle note 813535.1 (This note has OLE2 code sample on how to read an Excel file). Everything fine till now. The problem started when I have a date fiield to read from Excel. The field where the value is going to has format mask of 'DD-MM-RRRR'. When the date is displayed in the form, it shows '01-AUG-0009' instead of '01-AUG-2009'. I tried changing the date format to different formats in Excel but no go. I found one blog which stated that treat the date as number and use e.g. "cell_date_value:=to_date('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY')+client_OLE2.get_num_property(cel,,'Value')+2" but it too did not change the display. Then I tried debugging and stepping through the code..the only thing I noticed that OLE2 function displayed the date with 2 digit year as 09 and when the code completed execution, the date went back to '01-AUG-0009'. Casting with 4 digit year at every step in the code is not helping to change final date display correctly. Any idea?!!!

Hi,
While reading the date column from excel, try using
m_col_val := OLE2.get_char_property(Workcell,'Text');
Instead of
m_col_val := OLE2.get_char_property(Workcell,'Value');
I think you problem will be solved...
hello...i meant client_OLE2

Merge data files into spreadsheet exports 1 field

In acrobat 11.0.5 the 'merge data files into spreadsheet' tool only exports the filename and 1 field. The form was created in livecycle designer ES3 and previous versions created in livecycle 2 and 2.5, using previous versions of acrobat have exported all fields when using the 'merge data files into spreadsheet' tool. IU there a fix for this?

Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line? Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose. Any advice? Not the most sophisticated user.

Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

Date Format in Check Printed from F110

Hi,
I'm on 4.6C.
Company: US10 (United states local configuration)
I'm doing the check printing thru Tcode F110 and for printing we are using program RFFOUS_C. Earlier we were getting date format as MM.DD.YYYY but if vendor is form Spain (I'm not sure) I have started getting format as DD/MM/YYYY.
Why?. Should I change vendor's country to US on Tcode FK03?
I have checked the user setting (Tcode SU3) of the person who did the printing, in that also the date format is MM.DD.YYYY.
A lot of thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi Sid,
Thanks for your quick answer.
My Date's fields in RFFOUS_C are: &REGUH-ZALDT& and &REGUP-BldAT&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MM.DD.YYYY'
OR
/: SET REGUH-ZALDT MASK = 'MM.DD.YYYY' ????
I must set date mask in every window??
a lot of thanks in advance.
best regards

UNABLE TO READ DATE FORMAT(DD/MM/YY) FROM EXCEL

HI...
i have written a code to read excel sheet.my problem is my program is working fine but in the first column i am having dates in dd/mm/yy format....This column is not getting value when the vi is running.Rest all the columns show the correct data except the date column...i have also changed the seperator and used '-' ,'.' but no use....
sometimes it gives some random number there in 1st colum of array where i am storing the data after reading...i am not understanding why this is happening...
pls can any1help me out.........

I'm going to take a guess and say the day/month thing is a typo.
In Excel when a cell is formatted to date in windows (By Default) it starts from Jan 1 1900 as day 1. Mac uses Jan 1 1904 as Does LabVIEW.
Formatting to date in Excel calculates number of days since 1900, 12/08/2009 is equal 40155 days. LabVIEW calculates seconds since 1904.
If the formatting in the spreadsheet cannot be changed because the data is already there then you will need to convert the number in LabVIEW by pulling out the value, subtract 4 years of days, then multiply by seconds in a day. This will give you a time LabVIEW can use. get the date and then insert the data back into the array.

Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

Wrong date format by importing event from mail

When I try to create a new event in ical through a date in mail, it identifies the date in american format (MM/DD/YYYY) instead of the european format (DD/MM/YYYY)/
In the system prefs and in ical itself (when creating a stand-alone event) the format is correct. How can I import the date also through mail in the european format?

How do I keep formatting while importing/exporting from/to excel using Numbers for Ipad

I have an excel file that I export to Numbers on my Ipad. The problem is I lose all of my formatting. I use a lot of linking cells in the excel version of the file. And even when I work on the Numbers version of the file and put in the pop up menus, I lose those when I export to excel. Is there any way to keep this formatting when exporting/importing?
Thanks for the help.

Migintosh, I hadn't thought of that, but turns out that is my problem. I seems when I place the file, indesign in automatically changing those values. Is there a way to force indesign keep those at 0 (or whatever value I want) as I place the text? Right now, what happens is I place the text and then have to select all and manually set the before and after to 0 since indesign decides to change the after spacing to 0.1389.

.W3D format and Hoses exported from Max

Hi all,
I have a scene in 3d max 2009 and one of the models in the scene is connected via a flexible hose. The hose in animated within the scene but when exported to W3D into Director (v11) the hose animation is simplified to be a straight inflexible rod. My question is, does W3D support flexible hoses?
Cheers
Duncan

it only supports keyframe or bone animation. you would have to set keys or give it a bones to get the animation to play in director
