Excel handling in PI 7.0

Hi
I have a file to excel scenario. The output file should be in .xlsx format. I wanted to use java bean classes in the adapter module for converting the PI xml in to .xlsx.
I have written the code in java using POI jars. I have used POI 3.5jar since it supports XSSF implementation. POI 3.5 jars supports java 1.5 or higher versions. But the PI 7.0 server support only java 1.4 . So I am not able to call my bean classes from the adapter. Your valuable suggestions are invited.

hi,
plz refer the following link. it may help.

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity? I am using a MACBook Air

just read this in an other answer:
Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

Exporting to excel..error in using excel easy table.vi

Hi...
Am using excel easy table.vi to export my data to excel.....it contains a date field...When exported to excel,the date and month is getting interchenged.
ie,05/03/2008 is converted as 03/05/2008...What is the work around for this?
i read in one of the posts that have to format the date filed using Excel Set cell Format.vi..I tried wth that ,but so far cudnt fix...i tried wth using @ in the number format..then i was getting a string instead of datetime.When used%d/%m/%Y..then i was getting error.
If i can use that,how do i.
My datetime filed is the first column in the 2D array.
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Excel handles date and time as a floating point decimal representation. The integral value (to the left of the decimal) represents the number of days since the beginning of the 20th century. The decimal value represents the time of day from midnight in seconds divided by 86,400 (i.e. 6:00:00PM = 0.75).
Excel chooses the default regional date format (i.e. MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, etc.) based on your current location setting. You can manually change the format of a particular cell by right clicking on any cell and selecting 'Format Cells', then selecting 'Date', and finally changing the 'Locale (location)' to the desired format. This allows you to format the date however you'd like.
Unfortunately, Microsoft Excel does not have a text function to programatically change the 'Locale (location)' setting for a cell. This means that if you need to send a date through the Report Generation Toolkit that is in a format different from the current location setting, you will need to convert the date representation to text. This will change the way Excel handles the cell data from the date format mentioned above to a simple text sting. For example, if you're trying to convert the date '12/24/2008' in cell A1 into '24/12/2008', you can use the following code:
=TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yyyy")
If you try to keep the cell formatted as a date, Excel will interpret '24' as a month and '12' as a date, which results in an incorrect date. There is no easy way to programatically convert this text string back into a date without manually changing the date format of the cell.

Float data types

I don't really know SSAS but have been a .NET programmer and worked with SQL Server and T-SQL for years. I am working on a project where there is a database storing sales transactions and a cube that is created nightly so we can get MTD Sales, YTD
Sales, Profit $, etc.
I just ran into an issue where I got an error retrieving the Profit $ measure (using an MDX query inside of a SQL stored procedure using OPENQUERY) and found that the profit $ should be 0.07 but is coming back as 6.9999999999993179E-2. After talking
to our DBA, he said all of the calculations in the cube are double precision floating point and I need to round all results to 2 decimal places (programs like Excel handle the rounding and I should too.)
Our DBA also claims the measures can't be calculated and returned as currency. He claims that the potential for error is very small and no one has ever complained about a $ value being off.
I am struggling with this answer because I have always been told never to use floating point for monetary values. I am having a hard time believing there is no way to have a measure be a currency field that is accurate. I looked for articles
online but can't seem to find anything to answer my questions.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!

Your DBA is not completely correct in his claims. All calculations are not floating point below is a link to all of the data types supported by SSAS (Multi-Dimensional)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg471558%28v=sql.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
SSAS supports a currency data type. It's 4 decimal places not 2, but it is the recommended data type for currency values as it does not suffer from the imprecision of the double data type.
The other thing measures in a cube have is the concept of a format string, so you can ask the cube to return a pre-formatted value to you. But default an OPENQUERY will just return the raw value, but if you add the following:
CELL PROPERTIES FORMATTED_VALUE
to the end of your MDX query that should tell it to return the formatted value (which could be something like "$#,##0.00")
See here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146084.aspx for a list of all the different format masks that can be applied

Why is Numbers SO SLOW?!?

Wow, I'm really thinking about switching back to Excel, which is like blasphemy for me. I only use Numbers for one spreadsheet. It's my personal budget. I have a tab for each account, and one tab where I enter reoccurring payments/credits. There is a debit column and a credit column in each where I enter transaction amounts, then a current balance (for all checked transactions), and a running balance. This is repeated for each account. Most of the tabs only have about 50 rows by 9 columns and one tab has about 350 rows by 9 columns. It only keeps one calendar year's worth of transactions as I create a new file for each year. The calculations are mostly addition, subtraction, sums and a lot of IF statements and a few ROUND functions.
There is a fair bit of cell linking going on between accounts and also with the one tab where the reoccurring transactions are entered, but nothing that it shouldn't be able to handle with ease. Been using this identical spreadsheet on Excel for many years and on much slower hardware. The problem is that it is dog slow to do almost anything that requires it to recalculate the spreadsheet. Dragging a row to change it's position takes 20-30 seconds and brings up the beach-ball. Checking off a transaction (which updates the current balance) takes 2-3 seconds. Entering, changing or deleting a transaction amount takes 12-13 seconds and usually brings up the beach-ball.
Is there some way to speed this thing up like forcing it to calculate to a lower number of decimal precision or something? It's mind-numbingly painful to use. Sure, I could start simplifying my spreadsheet by removing all the links, but that defeats the purpose of using a spreadsheet. My budget is a very dynamic tool, and I want the ability to change one thing and see how it's going to affect my finances 8 months from now. Again, this is something Excel handled with ease. No matter what I changed in Excel, it would recalculate and refresh almost instantly. I could handle a bit of a delay (say 2-3 seconds), but having the app become unresponsive every time I make a simple change is not acceptable.
I had the same problems in Tiger, and hoped that a clean install of Leopard would improve things, but unfortunately not. I'm up to date on all iWork and OS updates. My wife uses the same budget on her MacBook and she complains about the same issues. I've even recreated the file from scratch to make sure it wasn't some kind of corruption. Numbers just appears to be really inefficient with recalculating lots of cells.
I'd be happy to send Apple a copy of my spreadsheet so they could do performance testing/tuning for the next Numbers update. The way it is, I can't see anyone using Numbers for anything even remotely complex.

This is just a stab in the dark, but as it is iWork, it is possible that one of the fixes for slow Pages may work. Here is the list I usually give for Pages users:
1. Do you have any PostScript Fonts installed? Some people have reported problems with some PostScript Fonts.
2. Do you have any missing fonts? When you open the document, does Pages complain that it cannot find one or several fonts?
3. Do you have corrupt fonts? Open FontBook, select all fonts and then File > Validate Fonts.
4. Corrupt pictures, songs and movies in your home folder's Movies, Music and Pictures folders can slow down the product through the Media Browser. AVI films in the Movie folder can slow things down, as QT usually cannot play them.
5. Go to View > Hide > Layout. For some reason the layout slows things down.
6. Don't view Thumbnails.
7. Use the Text Fit option "follow contour" instead of "follow a square" in the bottom section of the wrap inspector.
8. If an object is set to wrap, and a wrapped side squeezes out any possibility of text wrapping along that side - such as extending a text box to the margin, the extreme slowdown will occur. So don't.
9. Use as few objects as possible Fixed on Page. Instead use Moves with Text.
10. Reduce the resolution of your screen.
11. Reduce the number of colours of your screen.
12. Change your video card. (Yes, even the screen hardware may be the source of the problem.)
Just ignore any point that does not make any sense at all for you in Numbers.

Double click on .doc file opens Apple Works not Word 98

I'm using Tiger on a 14" iBook. I have Office 98 installed which works OK running under the classic environment.
Only thing is, I can't get it to start when I double click on a .doc file.
I've been thru all the recommended stuff, select the file, "get info", change the application etc... Whatever I try, it just reverts to Apple Works. When I double click the .doc file, I get Apple Works instead of MS Word.
Has any one got any ideas? Is this because Word 98 runs under Classic?
Also, I can open a word (.doc) document by dragging it onto the dock icon for MS Word 98. But if I try the same with an Excel spreadsheet,(dragging it onto the excel icon) it doesn't work. Tiger doesn't seem to like the .xls extension. Was this extension used for something else?

This document talks about applications which may use XLS:
http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=XLS
If it was used as a Microsoft Works document, you may need to convert it to Excel first.
Not sure if Excel handles Works documents, but Appleworks does to a limited extent, and Maclinkplus by http://www.dataviz.com/ will better allow you to be able to handle files of unknown type that are spreadsheets.
To change the application a document opens under control-mouse click a document with that extension and select Open With. Select the Other... and find the application in the dialog to open with, and check "Always Open With" if you want to open all documents with that extension with a specific application.

Format for certain columns in list view control

I have a list view control and I would like to format the alignment for certain columns. I heard that the only way you can do this is by formatting the cells in excel. I tried this with no success. Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to achieve this. I am currently allowing Xcelsius to handle my formatting for money. Is it possible to have Xcelsius handle the money formatting and have excel handle the alignment formatting. I am open to whatever works at this point. Also I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,1,66).
Much Thx

Hi,
In list view control you can format the entire row only, not a certain column.
Go to property>Appearance>Text Tab>select Header>Format selected text->select the format.
For width change: Property> Layout Tab>check custom column width the click the icon and enter width in pixel.

Large dataset insertion into xls sheet ?

Hi to all Forum members,
Currently iam working with huge set of data and java heap problem, as long as i insert data into xls sheet coz my fetched dataset contains more than 50K rows. Therefore i thought perhaps i can spare lil bit heap space by adding few more task into database query.
(ref : http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5377237)
Question : how can i insert dataset more than 50K rows into xls sheet. So far i know two methods
1 - extend java heap size on both JRE and Tomcat
2- use streams to continously transfer the data.
As far as i know first method is sounds good if an only if there is solo player. But i am allocating 128k to each application user. Therfore it cant be good choice.
2nd method, i never used and dont know whether it is a better choice. Although i have over internet read it works.
If you know any better method would you please furnish me with your kind ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Romi

Why in the name of [J. Presper Eckert|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Presper_Eckert] would you want to do something like that?
I'm assuming that you mean Excel© Spreadsheet and not an XML Style Sheet.
Who are these super humans that can comprehend 50,000 rows (who knows how many columns) of stuff?
If for some strange reason you really want to do this, yo might try writing you data as a CSV file and then letting Excel handle the conversion. Should require very little memory as since you only have to store one row of the data at a time.

Problem Adding Calculations to Currency Formated Cells

I have a cell that is formated in currency (USD in this case, i.e. $1,000) and I want to add a calculation to that cell. I double click on the cell with the $1,000, put the cursor at the begining of the cell (before the $) and push "=". A forumula rounded box with a X and √ appears. I type in "+500". Now what shows is "=$1,000+500". I push return and get a syntax error! I now have to go back and delete the comma and the $. Yuck.
It's even worse, if you have a cell with $10 in it. Then the above process thinks it referencing row 10!
Excel handles this issue seamlessly.
Any ideas? Is this a bug?

Numbers is not MS Excel, and MS Excel is not Numbers. Each application has features that are not supported by the other.
Not a bug, although it does appear to be a not-well-thought-out feature.
The issue is that once the $ is in the entry box, the whole "$1,000" is perceived (within that cell) as a text string. Any formula using one of the arithmetic operators will choke on text.
The second use of the $ sign is as the absolute reference operator. If it preceded a number equal to or smaller than the largest row number on the table, the combination will be interpreted in a formula as an absolute reference to that row, or to the cell in that row in the same column as the formula; whichever better fits the reference in that formula.
Either way, you're not going to get the result you want, and you are likely to get a syntax error message.
OTOH, in a cell where the fixed number has been entered as the result of an equation (eg. =1000), formatting the cell as currency will change the displayed value, but not the value as it appears in the entry box. Neither the $ sign nor the thousands separator (,) will appear, you will be able to append "+500" (without the quotes) to the end of the formula, and you will get the expected result ( $1,500) displayed in the cell. And, as the formula itself contains NO $, the issue of 10 being recognized as a row reference will not arise.
For my own use, I'd simply avoid the currency format except for summary cells. A column containing a list of numerical values (with two places after the decimal) is easily recognized as a list of currency amounts, even without to $ sign. The same list with the sign applied to every value is cluttered, and more difficult to read.

Barry

Safari newbie with questions

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and to Safari. I like the Top Sites feature and that's the main reason I've decided to give this browser a try. I do have a couple questions about it though...
1) Safari has a built-in pop-up ad blocker but there doesn't seem to be a way to block web ads from sites. I was able to do this with another browser using a plugin but Safari doesn't seem to even have the option to add one. There must be a way. If anyone knows how could you please let me know!
2) Why is there no drop-down arrow in the address bar for recently visited URLs? I'm very surprised that Apple's developers made this oversight.
3) Is there a way to customize what extension is added to a web site name to autocomplete it? For example, most browsers are designed by default to add the "www." and ".com" to the name of a web site if you press CTRL+Enter. I'd like to be able to do the same with ".ca" web sites by using CTRL+Shift. Is there a way in Safari to do this?
I find the Preferences section to be somewhat lacking in customization. Surprising considering this is such a feature-rich browser.

Hi k,
Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
If muc of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.
Pages and Numbers can work together to perform mail merge, and tre merged document(s) can be sent via email.
I haven't used the feature enough to offer any details beyond that.

QofQ join

I have an excel spreadsheet that lists over 300k products. Actually it comes as an xml file but the CF server can't parse a file that big so we import it into excel upload it to the site and then use cfspreadsheet to suck it into a query. That all works well.
NOW here is the problem. The way it works is basically 2 different tables in the same spreadsheet due to the way excel handles subcatagories.
The products have the following info (basically, no need to list all the fields)
ProdID (KEY) and CAT
Then there are also
ProdID1 and CAT2
These actually are subcategories and are on seperate lines in the spreadsheet. Duplicate data except for the CAT2 field.
So I want to combine these down to just 1 entry for each product. It would seem to be easy at first but not so fast. This is a QofQ and a lot of stuff doesn't work. I thought about putting the info into 2 temp tables and then doing the join but if I can do this in one query it would be great.
Basically I have to match up the ProdID to ProdID1 and grab CAT2 putting it into the main query. But QoQ doesn't allow a subquery in the select statement. Also some products don't have a subcatagory.
Any ideas?
Oh yeh. ColdFusion 9

My initial thought was "WTF?" My client receives this xml file and there is nothing he can do about the format. Actually xml is the best way to transmit this info BUT it needs to be broken up in chunks. Okay, actually the best way would be a webservice that I could tap into to pull the data over. BUT once again, I have no control over that.
The way it is working out I think there are 2 solutions:
1 - 2 tables. 1 takes the top level info the other takes just the productid and subcat. Then join them in a normal query.
2 - Put all the top level info into the product table and then update them with the subcat by looping over the subcat query. Could be a long loop but since it is done on off hours it should be okay.
I'd just hoped there was someway of pulling off a pretty join or something with QoQ but I guess not.

Linebreak in Indesign xsl?

Hey guys,
I have a little question about xsl. I tried to solve it myself, but I can't get it done.
My xsl looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"
xmlns:ex="example">
    <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />
    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="*[local-name() = 'table']"/>
    <xsl:template match="*[local-name() = 'text']">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:attribute name="value">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="*[local-name() = 'b' or local-name() = 'i']">
        <xsl:value-of select="concat('[',local-name(),']')"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        <xsl:value-of select="concat('[/',local-name(),']')"/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="@value">
         <xsl:attribute name="value">
             <xsl:value-of select="translate(.,'','
')"/>
         </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="@href"/>
</xsl:transform>
What I found out, is that I could use something like this:
<xsl:if test="not(position()=last())">
    <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
But I don't know how to combine it with my xsl. I tried to just put it in the "<xsl:attribute name="value">" xsl:copy part. It inserts a linebreak, but at the wrong place. Also I cant put it inside of "xsl:apply-templates".
Would someone be so kind to tell me, where I have to add this code?
A xml example(how it looks originally, without any transforms):
<text>This is some text and here
is a linebreak</text>
Should look like:
<text value="This is some text and here
is a linebreak"/>
Currently looks like:
<text value="This is some text and here
is a linebreak"/>
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
I can try to do it in a xsl v.1 but not quite sure how that would be done. Thing is I am trying to take a spreadsheet and convert it to xml which is each item(row) as a seperate item in the xml. I need to convert that xml so that I can drop it into indesign and into a table. It works if I let oxygen convert it with the xsl but in indesign I import it into a current table but the problem is it starts repeating the first item in the xml over and over again if the previous table has more rows than the current table.
I some how need to convert the xml file from excel into an acceptable indesign xml table format. Thats the tricky part with the way excel handles the information. No Lists inside of lists allowed.

Office 2004 needs regular Force Quitting

I have a late 2007 MBP 17" and lately I have found that Office 2004 will require a force quit to fully exit. It will appear that I've quit the application, but then when I go to start it up, I see that dot is still under the application logo in the dock. The only way to fully quit is then to force quit that app (e.g., Excel, Word, etc.).
This happens on average once a day, and not each time. I have completely uninstalled Office 2004 using their uninstaller program and reinstalled. Unfortunately, the symptom remains.

Yes, I have 2008 on both my 1.25G G4 PowerMac minitower and my 2.2G 15" MacBook Pro (late 2007). It's sluggish on both. I expected to see quite a speed difference between the old PPC machine and the new notebook, but not with Office 2008. The program is completely stable--however, it feels like enough kludge has been added to make the thing run slower. They changed the way Excel handles graphs and I am having trouble doing graphs I once did with ease in Office 2004 and earlier.
I'm with the folks who are leaning to a non-Microsoft solution until MS fixes what they broke. I understand they are reacting to the flood of complaints about Off2008 and working toward an improved version. Of course, if they do it on their traditional 4-year cycle. they will have whizzed away their entire Mac market by 2012.
