Decimal format in Excel output

In one of my Excel output reports, I'm setting the number format dynamically as SRW.SET_FORMAT_MASK('LNNNGNNNGNNNGNN0D0');
to display just one decimal place but this works for numbers less than 1000 and it displays two decimal places for numbers 1000 and greater. However, this works for all numbers inside the Reports Builder but I'm getting this issue when I run the reports in the web using rwservlet with desformat as SPREADSHEET. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks a lot and thanks for your time and good solution.
This the syntax is used for Date datatype :<?format-date:CREATION_DATE;' MON- YY'?>
and for varchar data type <?concat(' ',/XLAAARPT/P_PERIOD_FROM)?>.
Thanks & Regards

Amount formating in Excel output of XML Publisher Report

Hi,
I have to display my XML output in Excel format. I want the output of amount column to be displayed in form '#,###.00' and the negatives numbers are to be displayed in parenthesis. For eg number -234.5 should be displayed as (234.50).
I tried <?format-number:AMOUNT;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?> and also <?format-currency:OPEN_BALANCE;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?>.
Both of these works in PDF output, but its not working for Excel output.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

XML Publisher - how to make column as date format in excel output

Hi,
I am having a XML publisher report , output is excel format. There are some date fields in reports, which are being displayed as "General" type in excel.
Any way to restrict it in Date type only.
Please explain the solution in detail. I am using rtf template.
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
I have the same issue. After looking at a lot of replies from various blogs, some suggest to use this format in your rtf.It did not work for me. You could try this and check if it works for you.
<?format-date:datefied;’yyyy/MM/dd’?> where the format can be specific to your use.

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
My requirement was to get the Unit price in european format which is 10.000,00
Iam getting it as 10000,00 but the client needs the thousand's seperator.
if have used the decimal seperator but iam getting the Unit Price value as 'NAN' when i submit it for an international language like Italian or Spanish
This is what i have done
set the decimal format
<xsl:decimal-format name="euro" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="."/>
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(UNIT_PRICE, '#.###,####', 'euro')"/>
This gives the desired output when i select the US language.
While submitting through the conc request
If i change the Numeric char to '.,' by clickin on Language settings..It works great
I have tried to use the replace function but the syntax is not correct
format-number(replace('UNIT_PRICE',',','.'), '#.###.###.###,####', 'euro')
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Number formatting in excel

Hi,
I have created a report in which I have few amount columns. When I run the report in pdf format the numbers display properly with 2 decimal places (like 105 displays like 105.00) but when I run the report in excel output then the formating is gone. Client wants to have 2 decimal places for those amount columns even in excel output.
I have tried using <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override> but this does not solve my problem completely. It shows the values correctly in excel but then I am not able to do any calculation on those columns, looks like it converts them to text values.
Please let me know if you wants the rtf template and xml data file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Hitesh

Hi ,
If you use the <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override>
the column will not used for the calculation...it will take some special character...
in the excel output..if copy that column any one celll it will append the ?100? like this....thats the problem with bidi-override
lot of post are there for this issue....no solution yet...
Thanks,

Hi Vetsrini,
We're on 10.1.3.4.1 and siebel 8.1.1.3 and when trying to open a report from within siebel in the output format EXCEL (selected from the parameter applet), it just opens the document in the browser.
Is there a way to get it to open directly in Excel? I guess the reason is the file extension*.EXCEL, how could we get the extension to be in excel format (xls)?
We don't want our users to have to do this themself.

Excel output (with graphics)

Hello,
I am using Oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version.
We need to generate oracle reports in Excel format ("real" Excel, not delimited text) with tabular data and
also graphics.
I used desformat=spreasheet. But is is giving only one worksheet.
I've found the "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports"
demo but the Excel template in the demo is very simple and doesn't have graphics.
Then I've found the following:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/excel_output/result/excel.jpg
a) The above site has excel output with multiple worksheets.
which is similar to what we need but I wasn't able to find related source (excel_emp.jsp).
b) Using jsp if we can ahieve multiple worksheets with grapahics, please provide us examples.
c) http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html --This site is not working to find the demo.
Could you please help me in this?
Thank you for any help.

carla,
the example you mentioned uses the JSP web source that is only available in oracle9i reports.
in theory you can create any excel output. it is just a matter of creating the template and then adding the reports tags to populate it with data.
you could then use reports' URL engine to produce files from this output.
there are certainly ways to do it, but they are only available in oracle9i reports (9.0.2 and higher)
