Download Data from OBIEE to Excel using Macro (ODBC connection)

Hi,
We have OBIEE used as data source for reporting. Currently we manually go into OBIEE and download the report in Excel Format. However we want that to be automated by writing a macro and connecting directly do the DB and querying the data.
Do anyone have the details on how to connect to OBIEE using Excel Macros? I am not a Oracle developer and I am not allowed to install any software in my system. So if there is a way I can connect, please let me know. Thanks so much for you help.

download oracle bi for microsoft office software available in obiee>>answers>>more products. login to obiee to get it and once you installed then you can directly connect to obiee from excel itself and download report.
Thanks
Jay.

Downloading data from a BLOB Field using mod_plsql

Hi,
I am trying to use the mod_plsql to download data from a blob field, I have a web page where I can pick the file name to be downloaded from the documents table This table has the BLOB field that has the Data formatted in a text file format(contains carriage returns), when I open it up in the browser it is displaying it correctly , but when I right click on the file name and choose "Save Target As" and save it as text file it is ignoring the carriage returns and displaying entire blob in one line.
Can somebody help me figure out why it's not recognizing the carriage returns?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Is there a way to retrieve data from a blob field and save it to temp table.Why would you want to do that?
Can you provide some more details regarding your requirement?
(Don't forget to mention your database version as well)
Also, I wonder why you've added a 'decompress' tag to your question?
edit, after seeing Tubby's reply
Dang, the connection must be frozen here ;)

Download data from jsp to Excel

Originally, when I was using tomcat as the web server (installed at my local machine), I wrote a jsp which allows users to download Oracle table data to a Excel file. When the user clicks "Download" data, a "File Download" dialog box pops up and asks whether the user want to "Open this file from its current location" or "Save this file to disk". That is what I want.
Now, I migrate the application to OC4J (installed at Sun Solaris Server), the same program is not working as the same way as above. If the user clicks the link, then the program simply display the jsp page. In order to download data, the user needs to right click the link and selects "Save Target as".
How to make the application work just like it works on tomcat? Is this a programming issue or a server configuration issue?
Thanks.

ORIGINAL POST:
Hi
I could successfully send the data from a jsp file to a excel file. But, I have a problem with the data. The data i pass is normally alpha numeric, but some times the data is something like '00123456'. In such cases, i am loosing the leading zeros and get '123456'. Is there any way i can get around with this problem?
Help is greatly appreciated.

Download data from ALV to excel issue

Hi All,
Could you please tell me if there has any restriction on ALV grid data download to excel? I've a report contains 68 columns and about 500 rows, I want to download the data using the standard menu list->export->save to local file. but after I download them, I found the first 65 columns display in one line and the rest columns display in next line, just like ALV do not allow too many characters in one row and have to switch to new line. I can hide some columns but it's very strange that even after i hide 3 columns to fit the 500 rows download, then if the rows increase, the same problem occurs.
I searched the forum and in the thread Re: Export ALV in EXCEL Issue Mr. Suvajit provided a solution by using menu List->export->spreadsheet, it looks very good. But I still want to know how this happen and is there a standard way to download data with more than 65 columns to local file with extension .xls so that user can open it directly?
PS: I'm using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and the SAP version is SAP ECC6 with kernal package SAPKB70103.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Jeff
Edited by: Jeff_liu_2010 on Mar 10, 2011 7:21 AM

Hi Jeff,
Please check if following analysis is helpful to you.
Analysis/Solution:
When we export ALV data to excel worksheet, as sap notes say the maximum lenght allowed is 1023 charaters and the max no of columns supported is 90.
(I never faced any issue related to no of columns as it worked fine for columns >90 too)
Issue occured when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character.
Therefore the row data must not exceed 1023 character, otherwise column splits and moves to next row.
One additional aspect generally missed is that:
When data in any particular column changes it's length, alv header also changes its lengh (short text, medium text, long text; depending on the length of of the longest cell in the column)
therefore even if you have total length of row less than 1023 character, there might be cases when your ALV header size exceeds this length.
Reducing the header size (by forcing to use short text or specifying own header names) should resolve the issue.

Parveen
