Excel import date problems

Please tell me why when I import dates from excel to P6 7.0 the current date not what is in the excel spreadsheet is what appears in P6. How do I fix this problem?

Are there any solutions to the data truncation/rounding problem?
I am trying to import Excel data into tables through SQL Developer and notice that the preview screen displays truncated/rounded numbers even after I have deliberately formatted the data in Excel as numbers in 3.2 format. Is there a workaround?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Excel Import data

Hi,
I'm using SQL Developer 1.2 and trying to Import data into a table using Excel. I select my .XLS file, but I get an error with these details:

Spreadsheet (Excel) import data to SAP is getting concatenated

Hi SAP Guru's,
one of our business user is facing an unique issue, when ever he runs the SAP standard report by importing the data from Excel (clipbaord) only half of the data is getting into SAP, rest of the data is getting concatenated. Suppose if the user runs ME2M report by importing 1000 material from excel, in SAP only 500 getting imported rest of 500 in concatenated in a single line.
is this issue error related to GUI?, kindly let us know your thoughts/suggestion on the above issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Aperture Import Date Problem

I'm importing photos and have noticed repeatedly that when I tell it to automatically split projects, it's not breaking them in the right place. It would appear that all photos before 11am are thrown onto the previous date. I have played with (and double-checked) the time zones and they appear to be in sync.
Tonight, I have discovered a new wrinkle to this. I'm rebuilding my database and I knew this problem was happening, so I've been manually (ugh!) choosing each group and putting it in the proper place. Now, I can see that the above is still happening, but now it's doing this:
For example, I have 10 images showing up as January 1st. The first 5 are really January 1st, but the next 5 are January 2nd before 11am. I download the first 5 images to a January 1st folder and when I go back to import, the next 5 are NOW showing up as January 2nd as they should have to start with.
Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I'm going SO crazy having to manually sort these in the right place. I'm on the first of 3 SD cards I need to import and it's going to be about 7 months of photos and 30gb of data. If anyone knows a solution, I'm all ears!
Oh, and I went to the genius bar last week about this with no luck. I'm hoping there's a solution out there now and that I don't have to just report it and wait for a bug fix...
Thanks!

To be honest while its something you want to avoid if at all possible its not the end of the world. I've been forced to do it on a number of occasions and haven't had anything really bad happen. Do you have a recent backup? That helps to relieve the anxiety
If you do force quit it make sure the very next thing you do is run a library repair. Hold own the option and command keys while starting Aperture to get the repair window. Once that is done (and it may take a while to run) and Aperture comes up look for a project Recovered Photos (or something like that, its been a while since the last time its happened to me) . If that is there there were images in your library that the repair function found but couldn't figure out where they belonged. You'll need to sort them out yourself.
Again, if you haven;t already, start a good backup routine for your libraries. That will go a long way towards alleviating your stomach distress
good luck

Import data problem

Hi all,
when trying to import from an export file with rows previously exported from one database, the import process did not import the rows at all. Suspects that the constraint checking is imposed and thus disable them on the target db. but still unable to import the rows into the database. Have anyone came across such as manage to solve this...?? using 8.0.4 Thanks in advance.

clearly, constraint checking is imposed when import is being made, so that data rows are not successfully imported. Tried to disable constraints before import but still same problem.
Therefore what may be the solutions?

Importing data into an existing table from excel problem

Hopefully I am posting this in the right place..
I am having trouble importing data from Excel into an oracle table using the 'import data' wizard in SQL developer.
The problem is that the I want to import data into a table which all ready has data and I want the new data to be imported into the first row of the table not in a new row at the end of the table.
This is probably best shown by example:
create table todelete (
     site_no varchar2(2),
     data1 number,
     qa number);
insert into todelete values ('w1',1,null);
insert into todelete values ('w1',2, null);
insert into todelete values ('w1',3,null);
Now I want to import the following data from excel into the QA column starting at w1:
SITE_NO
QA
w1
4
w2
4
w3
4
However, when I import the QA column it goes into a new row:
SITE_NO
DATA1
QA
w1
1
NULL
w2
2
NULL
w3
3
NULL
NULL
NULL
4
NULL
NULL
4
NULL
NULL
4

The problem is that the I want to import data into a table which all ready has data and I want the new data to be imported into the first row of the table not in a new row at the end of the table.
No - the PROBLEM is that a table does NOT have a 'first' row or a 'row at the end of the table'.
Rows in a table are like balls in a basket; there is NO 'first' ball.
As already suggested please mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the sql developer forum where it belongs.

Excel import problems (collected)

There are a few problems with Excel Import. Some have been reported elsewhere.
Test Data
Table Definition.
CREATE TABLE "JIM"."EXCEL_IMPORT"
   (     "COLUMN1" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
     "COLUMN2" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
     "COLUMN3" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
     "COLUMN4" NUMBER(10,2),
     "COLUMN5" NUMBER(10,0)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
Spreadsheet contents
Label1,Name 1,Desc 1,2.95,2.45
Label2,Name 2,Desc 2,1,1.23456
1 The file chooser doesn't remember the last directory used, but defaults to the sqldeveloper install directory.
2 Numbers in the preview are truncated/rounded.
2.95->3
2.45->2.4
1->1
1.23456->1.2
3 If you make a mistake in assigning table columns to spreadsheet columns, you can't undo it because the columns already used are removed from the list of available columns. This needs an 'De-assign' option
4 When you assign columns, number columns don't get their precision or scale picked up.
This shouldn't matter because the DML is simple doing insert...values(1.2), but the end result is wrong (see 5).
The DML looks OK (relative to the already rounded numbers, not to the original spreadsheet.
insert into EXCEL_IMPORT (COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3,COLUMN4,COLUMN5) VALUES('Label1','Name 1','Desc 1',3,2.4);
insert into EXCEL_IMPORT (COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3,COLUMN4,COLUMN5) VALUES('Label2','Name 2','Desc 2',1,1.2);
5 A problem with assigning colums if you switch off header row after assigning columns. There are a number of slightly different problems.
a. Select your table and select all the columns in the 'Columns' tab
b. Assign table columns to your spreadsheet columns in the 'Data Types' tab
c Go back to the columns tab
d Uncheck 'Header Row?' - the columns are all deselected
e Reselect all columns
Any of several things may happen now
e.1 In the Data types tab, columns may be missing
e.2 Column assignments may be wrong
e.3 There are no table columns in the drop down when trying to assign columns
It looks as if the handling of the list of table columns is not right.
6 The 'Choose data type' prompt is misleading. It should be 'Choose Table Column'
7 The help is very sparse, especially on the datatypes tab.
I've also posted a couple of enhancement suggestions in the exchange
- an option to save the DML
- an option to save the metadata for a given import so that the next import to the same table is just a matter of select file and go.

Are there any solutions to the data truncation/rounding problem?
I am trying to import Excel data into tables through SQL Developer and notice that the preview screen displays truncated/rounded numbers even after I have deliberately formatted the data in Excel as numbers in 3.2 format. Is there a workaround?

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

IMPORT DATA -- EXCEL not working

Hello Friends,
I am trying to import excel data into an oracle database file. I choose all columns and then when I click 'INSERT', I get the following message:
Excel Import Selection Error
No columns selected for insert
Could anyone help me in finding a solution for this??
I need to import excel data back into my oracle table.
Thanking you,

I can reproduce this sometimes by
1) Selecting all the columns
2) Goto Data Types Tab
3) Uncheck Header Row
4) Go back to columns tab and then to datatypes tab.
In some cases there will be no columns selected and no columns assigned. if you click on insert you get the No columns selected error. In other cases there will be no columns selected and some collumns assigned (!) . If I press insert I get this
Error at line 1:insert into EXCEL_IMPORT ( VALUES()

Import data using Excel and Oracle SQL Developer - I need some help

Dear friends,
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 and I need to import an Excel file into a database table. If I try to import this file in XLS format, fields and headers are correctly being shown and separated, but if I press "Next" button, it simply doesn't do anything - it stays stopped.
I did some search here in this forum and it seems to me that, when you try to import a file via XLS format, SQL Developer has bugs. Is this correct?
If I save the same file in CSV format and try to import the same file, it goes ahead, but SQL Developer is not separating fields and headers correctly. It combines all CSV fields into one - let's say Column0 and fields 1;TEST;01/01/2000 below the same Column0.
Saving the file in CSV format is not a problem, taking a very little time. But I don't know how to make SQL Developer import it correctly. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Franklin

Hello K,
yes, you're right. I found the following topic after posting this question here.
Re: After update to 1.5.1, import from Excel fails
I downloaded version 1.5.0 and I'll use it whenever I import data from Excel.
Thanks,
Franklin

Giving dynamic sheet name while importing data from Excel in OPENROWSET query

I want to import data from Excel to table in SQL server. Sheets in Excel file can have any name. I want to get data from first sheet of the excel file.
CREATE PROC CopyExcelDataToTempTable
@ExcelPath VARCHAR(1000)
AS
BEGIN
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1;
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1;
INSERT INTO TempData
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
SELECT CONCAT('Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=', @ExcelPath),
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]');
END;
Currently I am giving Sheet1 as static name in Select statement. But my sheet name is not fixed. I want to create a dynamic query. If getting Sheet name is not possible then can we put sheet with its index in Select query? There is no front end. Whatever I
want to do is in SQL server 2012. Is there any solution for this problem?

Hi Ajinkya,
To get the sheet names from an excel, you can use the Stored Procedure
SP_TABLES_EX. See the below code.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ExcelSource', '',
'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'c:\worksheet.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 8.0'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelSource', 'false'
GO
EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'ExcelSource'
the names in the worksheet.xls and execute result are like below.
Table name
a
b
c
d
Regarding your description, you need the first sheet of your excel. As the result shows, the sheet names are sorted, so there’s no guarantee to get the first one. The SP can work as a workaround when there’s only one sheet in your excel or the required sheet’s
name is customized to be sorted at the top first.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Eric Zhang

Importing date-time data from Excel file

I am running into problems importing date-times in the format 3/15/2010 9:30:00 PM using SQL Developer. At Step 1 of the Data Import Wizard, the data preview window displays all the date fields as Excel dates (e.g. 40252.89583 instead of 3/15/2010 9:30:00 PM). Can I get SQL Developer to recognize the data in their date-time format, rather than converting them to decimal values?

When importing from Excel, I haven't found a date format model that would convert their decimal number into an Oracle date. But the following seems to work well:
1 - Save the Excel page as a CSV file then in the SD import wizard you can enter the date format model for that column.
2 - In Excel convert that column to text. (Highlight your date column, Choose the "Data" menu item, in the "Data Tools" group choose the "Text to Columns" tool, click next / next / then select the "Text" button, click "Finish" and save your xls) Now in the SD import wizard just enter the date format model that matches the Excel 'text' column with your dates.
Either way seems to work for me.
