Error in Excel converter

Hi All,
I am having issues while using export to excel functionality in Query designer and in portal.
I have a query where I have 3 key figures of date format ( 2 of type date - DATs YYYYMMDD and 1 of date type - DEC Counter or amount field with commas - standard SAP key figure).
When I remove the date key figures from the query, I am able to successfully download the report from portal to excel. But with these in the query, I get the following error:
Exception in BI runtime
Initial cause
Message:
No message was provided.
Stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Message:
Error in Excel converter
Stack trace:
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.runtime.controller.MessageException: Error in Excel converter
The report runs fine in BEx analyzer with these key figures. Also other reports that have these key figures, can be downloaded to excel.
Any ideas why we are facing this issue?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Payal.

Tom SAVU,
This was a known issue with the Report Generation Toolkit version 1.0.1 that was fixed in version 1.1. All that needs to be done to fix this is to left click on each item of the unbundle by name with the operate tool and select the correct element.
I have included a picture of the correct wiring.

SSIS 2012: SSIS Error Code "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

Hi,
This is kind of weird issue that I am experiencing with excel connection manager in SSIS 2012. This issue occurs sometimes but when I close and re-open SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools - newer BIDS) then this issues goes off temporarily.
Just FYI, through SSDT environment I executed the package successfully with both settings Run64bit runtime setting to Yes and No when error does not occur.
So far I have installed
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 (Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable).
I still remember for older versions of SQL Server (2005 & 2008) that I have executed Excel connection SSIS packages with Run64bit runtime = false i.e. in 32-bit mode. As far as I know I think Excel 64-bit issue has been resolved with SQL Server
2012 release.
Here is the detail of error message:
TITLE: Package Validation Error

Here are my environment details:
SQL Server 2012 {Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3368.0 (X64) } , Excel 2010 (32-bit). I am developing SSIS code on Virtual desktops with Windows 7 32-bit OS.
Also it occurred to me that since Virtual Desktops are on Shared Infrastructure, the source files and SSIS packages (code) can be on Shared drives for e.g. \\<Corpnet>\userdata\<Corp_Users_Grp>\<Username>\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Integration
Services Project2\Integration Services Project2\Package.dtsx.
Does this kind of Shared drives have any impact to give this issue?
Thanks in advance!

P.S.: I had look at this forum question -->

Hi Arthur,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, it looks like SSIS still has bunch of issues with Excel files like as follows:
1) Some times excel source files cannot be parsed by excel source connection manager.
2) For derive column conversion, we can't replace the existing column. rather, we have to add the derived column as " add as new column" which is tough to manage while destination mapping.
3) If an column in excel contains a data which is not of the data type assigned for the column in excel, the excel source reads that data as "null". For the same, we can't validate the data and redirect the erroneous data in reject file. <-- For
this we tried IMEX setting also
4) In multi-tab/sheet excel file, excel source is unable to detect a tab and identify the metadata of the excel.
I am also checking Microsoft connect for Excel issues with SSIS 2012(https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/SearchResults.aspx?SearchQuery=excel#&&PageIndex=22
As worst case scenario, I am thinking of converting Excel to CSV file or Flat text file. (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2772/importing-data-from-excel-using-ssis--part-2/).
Do you think it is advisable to convert Excel into CSV or Flat file.
Thanks,
Ketan

"Numbers stored as text" error in Excel when I schedule a report

Dear all,
When I schedule a report, I got a "Numbers stored as text" error in Excel.
But when I save as xls directly from webI, I have no error in the excel sheet.
So, is it a bug ? I have the BO XI 4.0 version.
Or is there a special option to set concerning schedule ?
Mike.

Hi,
First check the object data type in webi. Normally this error will come when object/variable data type is Text in the report.
If you are getting this error with object data type number then add 0 in the object and see.
Like =[Object] + 0
It will force the value to be converted in the number.
Regards,
Amit

Error in Excel 2007.

We have a user who gets an error when he will start the BPC for Excel in Excel 2007. And he can not open the BPC for Excel. The following error message appears: "In order to open the file Ev4Excel.xla the file had to be repaired or it was forced to remove unredable materials. The workbook has lost its VBA projects, ActiveX controls and all other programming functions." And it can not open the BPC for Excel
The user also has Excel 2003 installed on his computer and if he uses Excel 2003, it works.
Is it possible to have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on the same computer and run SAP BPC against both
Are there some Excel add-ins that you have to install when you install the Excel 2007?

Hi,
In SAP BPC installation guide you will find below recommendation
Note: In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must
install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider, which you can get from the
Microsoft website. The provider must be installed on the Application server.
This provided in 25mb in size. We installed it on our application server. but still some errors with excel 2007 is not resolved. Finally we tried with office 2003, but still error continued. When we moved back to office 2007, some excel-addins which were available earlier went missing.

Error occurred while converting the file...

So, it seems like every CD that I tried importing over the last couple of days at some point caused the software to stop and go:
Error occurred while converting the file "[Track name here]". An unknown error occurred (-50).
Has a solution been found for this? Have others experienced this problem? How do I fix this?

Importing problems have been rife in the recent iTunes release.
Not sure how to solve your problem, but until a solution comes along feel free to rip in another program, such as Windows Media Player, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library.

'Error occured while converting the file--unknown error occured 0x77686174

I just got my first iPod but I'm a little frustrated. I put in a cd, iTunes opens and asks me if I want to import the songs, I reply yes. When it tries the very first song of the cd, it immediately comes up with 'Error occured while converting the file "name of song". An unknown error occured (0x77686174).' It doesn't matter if this is a completely new cd or an older one.
I ran CD diagnostics on iTunes and my results are below. I have posted this several times on many different boards and haven't found any solutions or been given any solutions from anyone. I have an iPod that I can't use because I can't download any songs...does anyone have any idea what to do?
I've looked at Dell to update drivers for my cd drive but it says that I have the newest drivers...the computer isn't even a year old yet. What do I do?? I've wiped the cd like several posts say to do, I've clicked the fix error option on cd off and on like several posts have said to do, I've changed the conversion of 128 to 64 like several posts have said to do...help please, anyone?

Error Occurred While Converting the file"name of song" The file name.......

I get this message when I try to import some CD's to my library.
A window pops up and says
Error occurred while converting the file "name of song"
The file name was invalid or to long.
Anyone else ever get this message, and how can you import CD's???????

I have had this exact same problem. I'm not sure how to fix it...

Error occured while converting the file . . . . . .

While trying to import a music CD into iTunes, I get the following message:
Error occured while converting the file "Handel: Messiah, HWV 56 - Sinfony". You do not have the privelege to make changes.
The song in question is: Handel: Messiah, HWV 56 - Sinfony.
I've imported a number of CDs into iTunes and have never seen this before.

Hi, LongIsland14.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This issue would be related to a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here are a couple articles that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

"Error occurred while converting the file "song name."

While trying to import 3 different CD's into iTunes, the message "Error occurred while converting the file "song name. The required folder cannot be found." The song name is the first song of each of the CD's I tried to import. Have imported over 3,000 songs and never had this happen before. Help?

I think I found out why this happens. I am using an external hard drive, not sure if this is relevant, but I believe so. I went into iTunes and deleted the songs, and asked that they be deleted from the library as well. Got same message when I tried to re-import. Went on to the external hard drive, where library is located, and none of the songs had been deleted. Deleted the songs, as well as the albums folder, re-imported, no problems. Hope that helps.

"Error occurred while converting the file 'song name'. The required disk cannot be found"

Hi, I saw this issue in an archived discussion, and I just had the same problem, but figured out how to resolve it.
I think this error is a result of:
A) downloading a new version of iTunes, and;
B) storing my iTunes library on an external hard drive.
Because when the new version of iTunes was downloaded, I found that the destination folder for my iTunes music was no longer selected. Therefore, I was getting the error message: "Error occurred while converting the file 'song name'. The required disk cannot be found" when I tried to import CDs.
To fix: go to:
iTunes>Preferences>Advanced
and specify your destination folder for your music.
Just wanted to share!

Thank you so much! I was in the same situation (iTunes library stored on external hard disk). Strangely, iTunes knew where my music was stored (i.e. if I clicked a song it would link to the library location and play with no problems). But in the "Advanced" settings, the location of my iTunes Library was blank. So I just pointed to the correct location and now everything is working OK! Thanks again.

Error occured while converting the file track #1 the required disk can't be found

I have old CDs, I have new CDs and I have a relatively new MacBook Pro (3 years old) running current software on 10.9.4 OSX Mavericks. My updates are good on my iTunes but it won't let me import ANY CDs that I OWN! Is this the new Apple and it's iTunes update?
Can we not legally put our CDs onto our phones or iPad/iPods any longer? Must I go garage sale-ing for a personal CD player? The code reads; "Error occured while converting the file track #1 the required disk can't be found". My cd drive is fine btw. It reads and shows on my desktop and will also play when I double click the CD icon and play the .aiff file.

I kind of have the suspicion if you were no longer allowed to put CDs on iPods it would be front page news, not something you alone would discover. Anyway, there would probably be a clear message to that effect rather than a technical error message. I would take the technical problem route first rather than suspect you have been targeted for persecution.
Have you restarted iTunes? Have you tried restarting your computer?
Personally I prefer third party rippers such as XLD and Max and you could certainly try one of those to at least isolate the issue to iTunes.

Error occurred while converting the file ".." An unknown error occurred -50

I've had a few tracks which seem to skip on my ipod but play perfectly fine on itunes.
As a result, I've been converting these tracks to ACC files; this has worked for a few files but for one particular album i get the following:
+error occurred while converting the file ".." An unknown error occurred -50+
I've tried renaming the files, I re-created my playlist but nothing works.
Thanks in advance.

*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

Error occurred while converting the file "". You do not have the privilege

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it's my first mac ever. I have imported all my songs into itunes from an external hard drive where i would keep all my music and video's. I went ahead and added it to my mac and everything plays and works fine but whenever i try to import a cd i get this message Error occurred while converting the file "(Song Title)". You do not have the privilege to make changes." I tried changing the sharing and permission settings on the drive but it won't let me so i have no idea on what to do next. Any help is appreciated!

Error occurred while converting the file "song name" the required folder cannot be found

In ITunes 12, while trying to import from CDs I keep getting this message "error occurred while converting the file "song name". The required folder cannot be found". It will import 2 or 3 or 5 songs and then this message. I have tried multiple CDs, a few seem to work fine, but most don't import completely.

I think I found out why this happens. I am using an external hard drive, not sure if this is relevant, but I believe so. I went into iTunes and deleted the songs, and asked that they be deleted from the library as well. Got same message when I tried to re-import. Went on to the external hard drive, where library is located, and none of the songs had been deleted. Deleted the songs, as well as the albums folder, re-imported, no problems. Hope that helps.
