Excel 2007 export

Is Excel 2007 supported? I need to export about 600,000 records into Excel

You are missing the point.
a) if my customer moved with using current version of Excel/Office (because it is also applies to Word 2007 export), you or SAP cannot tell him what is important to him/her what is not or prevent this migration
b) run files in compatibility mode may prevent proper use of the new features (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA100738731033.aspx), so end user is forced to do extra step every time a new document in old format is opened - conversion
c) there are plenty of automated processes which may have expected file extension as an example or worse may use new features and being automated does not have capability of conversion per se.

Excel 2007 Window Minimizes while typing

Hi,
We have a user with a slightly different type of issue. The user has 2 monitors, and when Excel is in the second screen, the active window will sometimes, suddenly, become minimized. We have been able to reproduce this event, and confirmed that
no keyboard shortcut is being pressed to cause this. Also, not all windows on the 2nd display minimize - just the active Excel window.
Finally, when this happens, the window seems to just disappear, not a "fade to the taskbar" like a normal "minimize" function. The document is closed, so there is no data loss, but the work-flow is interrupted and is very frustrating
for this VIP user.
We are running Office 2007 with Outlook 2010, and all the latest updates and service packs.
Any help you can suggest would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

Help with exporting forms based data to Excel 2007

I have a user who is attempting to export forms based data to Microsoft Excel 2007 and when he attempts this he receives a message stating that Windows does not recognise this file type (tsv). I am not too familiar with Office 2007 so I am unable to direct this users as to how to correct this issue.
Is someone able to give me the navigation path to help me to assist this user? thanks

Did you verify the file type from Windows Explorer?
1) Right click on My Computer > Explore
2) Go to Tools > Folder Options
3) Click on File Types tab
4) Check if TSV file is defined there or not. If it is not there, click on New and add the File Extension

Project Server 2010 export to Excel 2007 fails

I keep getting the following error when I try to export Resource Availability to Excel. I am using Project Server 2010, Excel 2007, IE8, Windows 7. I have PS set as a intranet site with low security set. Coworkers with the same setup are
not having this issue. I have tried exporting to Excel with Excel open, Excel closed, on a hardwire network connection, on wireless network connection, on my corporate VPN and not on my corporate VPN.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file "URL here" for the possible reasons:
-The file name or path does not exist.
-The file is being used by another program
-The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open worklbook.
Please provide suggestions on what to try differently to make the export work. I have tried downloaded other version of IE and have the same issue.

Hi Julia,
since nobody jumped in, I'll give a try!
Have you tried to reinstall Excel or at least repair it?
Hope this helps,

Exporting Crystal report to excel 2007 with an image

Hi - I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
We are using the Crystal report viewer and everything works just fine . When I go to export to excel (using office 2007) the images are not exporting, do you know if this is an excel 2007 problem or a Crystal issue?
Thanks in advance
DanPlo

Hi;
I still recommend installing the Service Pack. If the issue persists, and is contained to the version 8.5 reports, then yet, they will likely need to be converted to version 11.0 to work correctly. The Crystal Reports engine was completely re-written in version 9.0, so moving from 8.5 can cause some issues.
If you try exporting one of the 8.5 reports from the verison 11.0 Designer, do you have the issue?

Warning message when exporting a Financial Report to Excel 2007

Excel 2007 users that attempt to export a fully formatted Financial Report into Excel 2007 get the following error message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'FileName.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
I am still researching the behavior that users get when they click through the message, but would ideally like for the message not to appear without updating the client machine registries. Has anybody else run across this?
Excel 2007
BI Plus version: 9.3.1.0.0.248

It looks like this is a known issue addressed in Bug 7359171 - EXPORT TO EXCEL 2007 CAUSES FILE FORMAT WARNING:
The current design does not allow you to open HTML content from a web site in Excel unless the extension of the URL is .HTM/.HTML/.MHT/.MHTML. So ASP pages that return HTML and set the MIME type to something like XLS to try to force the HTML to open in Excel instead of the web browser (as expected) will always get the security alert since the content does not match the MIME type. If you use an HTML MIME type, then the web browser will open the content instead of Excel. So there is no good workaround for this case because of the lack of a special MIME type for HTML/MHTML that is Excel specific. You can add your own MIME type if you control both the web server and the client desktops that need access to it but, otherwise the best option is to use a different file format or alert your users of the warning and tell them to select Yes to the dialog.
Another Workaround :
Client Configuration of Extension Hardening.
Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior ofthe Excel 2007 client in the following ways:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\SecurityValue: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening" = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]Default setting if value not present is 1 (enable and prompt).
The client can configure the site to disable the check by setting ExtensionHardening = 0. This will stop the prompt from appearing, but it will also disable any future checks for the file content validity. This does not (in itself) lower your security. The check is part of a defense-in-depth strategy to prevent malicious users from crafting files of a different type than its extension (or MIME type), which could then be used to trick users into opening a file of a type they did not expect. This warning is designed to let the user know of this potential threat and given them an option of canceling the open if they wish.

Problem in Exporting to Excel 2007 using CRServer 2008

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..
Babita.

Hi Ani,
First Thank you for your reply..I have already tried exporting it in Excel 2003 but since the limit is upto 256 columns and that my report's content exceeds this limit, few of the columns are truncated. Thats why i thought that it would be better to export it in Excel 2007. But i could'nt find any way to do it so..Pls help me if there is any other way..

Exporting Oracle 10g reports into Excel 2007

Does anybody knows if there exits compatibility with the export function to Excel 2007?
Some users will be installing this Excel version and i don't know if the formatting and displaying will be similar as using previous versions. They use the export function available from Discoverer Viewer.
We have Oracle Discoverer Administrator version 10.1.2.1 and Discoverer Administrator client 10.1.2.48.18.
Thanks!

This is an old thread, but I was hoping there might be an update for it. The workaround of exporting to a .csv does work, but we need to be able to export to excel 2007. We have Discoverer Plus 11g and there doesn't seem to be an option to export to 2007's xlsx (just xls). Is there a way to add xlsx an an option to export to?
I saw the metalink document describing why exel 2003 (& 2007) behaves the way it does, which is fine. If that's the case, I (or my users more specifically) don't want to use it. Truth is, most users balk at extra steps (even a simple one like manually picking .csv), and the happier they are the easier my job is. They need to be able to export to the 2007 xlsx version which supports 1 mil rows per sheet. Can that format be enabled in Plus 11g?
Thanks

Crystal Reports 9 Export To Excel 2007

Hi All,
We are using Crystal Reports 9 designer in VB6 to create our reports.
When report is generated and siplayed on the screen, the option to export the report to Excel only gives the option of Microsoft Excel 97 - 2000. We are looking to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007.
Question: Is there any way to update Cyrstal to allow the ability to export the Crystal Report to Excel 2007?
Is there any dll that can be applied to present the Office 2007 export option capability?
I am doing this to determine if Crystal Reports 9 would be able to ulitize Office 2007.

Hello Don,
The problem is that Excel 2007 is not offered as an option to export to to. If we upgrade to Office 2007, we need to be able to select this. The Microsoft 97 - 2000 would not work as Excel would be 2007. We don't want to have to created as Excel 2000 and then have Excel 2007 convert it. We are looking for a way to have Crystal 9 have the ability to export to Excel 2007 directly.
Is there any upgrade to Crystal 9 that would allow Excel 2007 as an export option or would we have to upgrade to a different version of Crystal? We are trying to avoid upgrading Crystal since this would require purchasing multiple developer licenses and the report would have to be recreated using the upgraded version report designer in VB6.

Hello,
I just upgraded to crystal reports 2011 from crystal reports XI Release 2. I am having an issue exporting to excel 2007-2010 format. When I do an export and then open it in excel, excel gives me an error message that the file is corrupt and if I want to recover the contents. When I try and recover the contents, I am greeted with the error below. I am not sure what to do to fix it and would appreciate any help.

Hi Marina,
What version of Excel are you using to open the report?
Have you tried creating a simple report and exporting it? It's possible something in that report is causing the problem.
Good luck,
Brian

SQL 2008 R2 Export to Excel 2007

I want to export data using the Import and Export Utility to Excel 2007.
I choose a destination of Microsoft Excel and choose an existing (empty) Excel 2007 .xlsx file.
The following errors result. A new worksheet is created in the Excel file with the name of the table and with column headings but no data. If I repeat the export choosing the now existing Excel file it works fine.
How can I make it work the first time?

Thanks for your reply.
I think the datatypes are correct.
This is the sql for the SQL 2008 table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[q_table](
[Q_No] [nvarchar](40) NOT NULL,
[data1] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[data2] [nvarchar](255) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
This is the sql for the Excel table create.
CREATE TABLE `q_table` (
`Q_No` LongText,
`data1` LongText,
`data2` LongText
There is only one row in the table:
Q_No data1
data2
2 444 aaa
The same export works fine if I select .xls (Excel 1997-2003). This error happens with every table I try to export to .xlsx. I created this table and export to try to debug the issue.
We do this sort of export all the time and I want to use 2007 becuase we often have more than 65K rows to export. Now we export to Access and then export to Excel but it adds time to the job.
