Dynamic data column; pdf vs excel output

I have created a amortization report using BIP dynamic data columns. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic columns are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
Any idea what could be wrong here. Why does it work fine in excel and not in pdf output.
Please let me know if you would like to see the rtf template and xml data file.
Regards
Hitesh

Can you send me the sample xml and RTF ?

XML Publisher - Dynamic Data Columns Issue

Hi,
I am creating a amortization report where I need to show the amortization schedule for unearned revenue. Customers have signed different years of contract and I need to show the amount as per their remaining contract months. So if there are 2 month remaining in the contract then I should show the data for 2 months only and if there are 10 months then I should display 10 months. If we run the report for both customers then it should display two lines in report. For first customer the data should be only for 2 months and for second row(customer) there should be data for next 10 months. These months should be columns in the report(like excel columns, not rows). I need to display all months in columns instead of rows.
I have acheived that using Dynamic Data Columns as mentioned in the user guide. Everything is working fine except following issues -
1. How to create page level total?_
I have created page total in my template using <?add-page-total:TOTUREV;'UREV'?> and displaying using <?show-page-total:TOTUREV?> but when I run the report in excel format these page total do not display. These columns are static columns not dynamic.
If I run the report in pdf format then the static column total is displayed correctly.
2. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic column are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
3. How do I get the total for the dynamic columns?_
I need to display the page level total for the dynamic columns also, how do I do that?
4. When I run the report in excel format the 2 decimal places of the numbers are gone(it works fine in pdf output), like 12.50 becomes 12.5 and 14.00 becomes 14. I need to maintain those 2 decimal places. 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.
Any help is really appreicated. Please let me know if you need the xml template and data file.

Hi Hitesh,
Can you please upload your RTF and XML template file? I will try to spend sometime on this issue.

SUB Totals within a Dynamic Data Column

Has anyone ever calculated SUB Totals in a Layout with a Dynamic Data Column?
The TOTAL for all data is expressed on the Data Column tab of the Layout as C(1):C(1) - 0FISCPER / Posting Period is the Dynamic Characteristic. When the system actually displays the 12 columns of data for the Year, the formula for TOTAL is also adjusted - no problem here. But the user also wants SUB Totals, by Quarter, within the Year.
Any insight or suggections are appreciated !
Thanks,
Lyle

Hello,
use variables Q1, ..., Q4 for the quarters and create
data colums as follows
1 Q1 dynamic = X
2 Total C(1)
3 Q2 dynamic = X
4 Total C(3)
5 Q3 dynamic = X
6 Total C(5)
7 Q4 dynamic = X
8 Total C(7)
9 Year Total C(2)C(4)C(6)+C(8)

Grouping of chracateristics by using dynamic data columns

Hi all,
I want to create a BPS Layout (BW3.5) with the material in the lead column and a KeyFigures, the year and the salesgroup in the data column. The salesgroup is the dynamic characteristic.
Example:
I want to have:
SG1 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2007/ SG2 2008...
What the system is doing is:
SG1 2007/ SG2 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2008
My question is: how can I change the grouping of the columns from year to salesorg?
Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
Thanks for your appreciation.
I thought there is not material in your lead column, okay if your case like that i suggest you like this.
I suggest to .
To choose Layout Category:
1. Key Figures in Data Column
Define data column dynamically for : Sales Group
And make the fiscal year, and material as lead column.
In the data column tab, define the key-figures there and mark Dynamic checkbox.
Or if you want to group based on the fiscal year, you can make the fiscal year as you dynamic data column.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.
Best regards,
Niel.
thanks for the points you choose to assign.

Header description of dynamic data columns dynamically

Hi all,
How is it possible to get Header description of dynamic data columns dynamically??
Thanks and regards,
Harry

Harry,
Don't have the system right now so going by memory.
There are 2 parts - you need to see how you specified the text replacement of the variable. Say on 0fiscper if you specify characteristic value it would show I think 001.2007, 002.2007, etc. If you use one of the text types, it would be based on the description.
I always have to think if I need to put the infoobject name or the variable name in the layout definition in the description part. Off the top of my mind, it would be the infoobject name i.e. 0fiscper for example

Exporting Dynamic data to a formatted excel-readable array

Hi all,
I am trying to export some data into an excel sheet (csv) by creating a new file in which the data is stored. With the current set up that i have, i keep on running into the following problems:
1. After every iteration in a single run, a dialogue box pops up and asks me where to save the data, after i have already specified a file name
2. The data format in the excel file is not what i wasnt. The data is all displayed as one string while i would like it to store the data in different columns.
Some background: In the section of the vi that i have attached, i use 2 DAQ assistants. The first is used to obtain the initial voltage value at the 2 piezos which is then fed into the rest of the vi, this needs to be done just once, at the beginning of the vi run. The second DAQ asst is used to monitor and save the voltage as it is gradually increased and applied to the piezos.
A picture of the section of the vi im having trouble with is attached, along with the entire vi.
I would appreciate any help you can give me on these problems.
Thanks!

I Cant run your vi at the moment but from what i can see.
- use the file open vi from the file I/O pallette rather than the Express file open VI you have and supply it with a proper path, not a string.
- I prefer to use .csv (Commas Seperated) instead of tab seperated as i find it easier to read in a string indicator or similar and is just as easy to open in excell.
- How many Samples is your 2nd Express DAQ function doing? If it is multiple you will need to seperate the samples by comma also (or average them out etc).
- I rarely use dynamic data but i think you would be best to extract the actual data values out from the data type at least to get you up and running (It is coerced at the moment and may not be doing what you expect it to do).

PDF and Excel output cell spacing issues

Hi all..
I have a report and template whose output should be both in PDF and Excel.
Lets say I have two tables in out put one below other. (Table1 and table 2 below it..)
Table 1 has 5 columns and table 2 has 30 columns.
In PDF since it is difficult and ugly to show 30 columns, I made font as 6( very small font)
PDF output looks fine. But, when I open the reort in excel..its all messed up and ugly.
Table 1 column widths are very much uneven. lI noticed that table1, table 2 coulmns width are same...
For my Requirement, they must have seperate widths.. Also..when I open the report in Excel, I still get in font size 6 which is ugly
I want table1 column width and table 2 column width in Excel as seperate..
How do I achieve this.

Vetsrini wrote:
you can do that too..
two set of tables, one for each output. and use the Microsoft word font properties.
else
add something like this
<fo:block font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red">
Your test or your field
</fo:block>Srini, this worked!
My font differences in Pdf and Excel has been eliminated now.
But however I have one more problem as I stated in my first post.
When I exported into Excel, My column width of first table is dependant on the other making my report look uneven.
I am providing the screen shots.
Look how Rate column of first table is very huge as it took the colmun width of table2 (Decription column)

I need something like this: http://i.imgur.com/nklEN.jpg
Is this achievable?

Fixed column width in Excel output

Hi,
Can we fix a column width when we are viewing the report output in excel? Can we do that in RTF template?
If the column name is too long, it is automatically inreasing width of the column...But I need the column to be of a fixed width.

You should try Excel templates instead of RTF templates. This is the best method to control Excel output formatting like column width.did you try excel template ?
for example for 3 nested group?
from Re: Can XDODTEXE produce BI Publisher output?
i tested true excel template on ebs r12.1.2 and it works only for one group and for two group the result awful it duplicate and mix data
IMHO true excel template very limited yet

Importing Data to PDF from Excel

I need to store data from 1000 unique records of a single form. Acrobat has a good export feature that puts all the data nicely in an excel sheet. However, there doesn't seem to be an equally easy way of repopulating the form with that data, generating a new file for each record.
The reason I'm doing this is because there doesn't seem to be a way of modifying how a signature field is handled Adobe Default vs Silanis. The type is cemented by what the setting was when the field was created. So my thought is to temporarily store the data in excel. Recreate the Signature fields with the correct setting. Then generate the 1000 files again with the data from Excel.
Thoughts?

That is correct - Acrobat does not have that feature.
I don't understand the issue with Silanis, since PDF Digital Signatures are part of the ISO 32000-1 standard as well as the ETSI TS 102778 (PAdES) standard.
Signature fields required certificates and passphrases - I don't see how you could "recreate" them...

Dynamic Data columns

Hi...
Here's my scenario. My layout is keyfigures in lead columns.
I want Calendar Year in the Header. I want the Calendar Year/Month (0CALMONTH) in data columns.
But, the data columns should be dynamically set to the 12 months of the Year I choose as part of the header combination. Example, I choose 2008 as header:
Layout should alow me to enter sales for all months of 2008. So, data columns should become:
Jan 2008 Feb 2008 Mar2008 Apr2008 .....
Sales
I'm open to ideas for other types of layouts also as long as the the months (0CALMONTH) are derived based on Calendar Year.
Thanks...

KJ, thanks for your response.
Dont mean to question your suggestion at all. But is that only way?
I mean to me deriving a calendar year month seems to be a normal practice.
But if thats the only way, could you please provide more insight and possibly an algorithm for the exit? never worked exits before in the cotext of BPS.
Thanks...

Extracting data From PDF to Excel

I have inherited a large library of PDF invoices which I need to extract data from into excell - or some other spreadsheet. The other option is to open up thousands of pdf documents and run the numbers by hand which is just dumb. I am new to acrobat and an entire afternoon of trial by fire / google hasn't gotten me very far - so even pointers in the right direction are appriciated.
Ideally I would like to tell Acrobat what data is important on each document (can I use the form tool to do this?), extract the data from the relevant files (batch processing tool I presume?), compile the data and extract it to a CSV.
It looks like the functionality is here I am just unsure how it all needs to fit together. Any Suggestions?

Hi,
There is software out there that will convert PDFs to excel... look for ABBYY or Able to extract... If you have a lot of files that are the same merge them together before using the software. Remember that if the data is created from a scanned image then the results will only be as good as the ability of the OCR engine contained in the software. You can play with the software to create tables, etc...

Export only specific data from PDF to Excel

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to export only specific fields from a PDF to an Excel sheet. I have dozens of past revenue statements from various companies. When I export the whole PDF at once, it does not transfer in any use able way without manually moving a bunch of things around. I am working with revenue statements from oil and gas wells. Therefore, the goal is to put the well name in one column, quantity produced in another, price sold for in another, etc. However, as I said, the statements are not set up in a way that transfers over in that format. It would be ideal if I could choose which columns in the PDF to transfer over and in what format I choose. In many cases, I have a different PDF for each month, which I could merge into one document if I need to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible to do it but it requires using a script. You can't do it by using the built-in Export Form Data command.
