Excel Import & Format

I'm looking to do a poor man's variable image project, if possible. What I'd like is to have the text from a particular field in a an Excel database (person's first name) is placed in a certain area in a PSD, formatted with the same font style & color, then flattened & Exported with a filename taken from a matching field in the same Excel database.
I'd seen a few scripts on here that use Illustrator as a bridge to do something similar, but they don't produce any results at all. I have no scripting experience unfortunately & after a few hours reading through the posts here, my head hurts! Thanks for any suggestions!

Maybe Data Driven Graphics might do what you want?

DRM Excel Import file format?

Hi Everyone !!
I want to import data from Excel sheet using DRM
please can anyone share a sample format for this in excel , DRM Excel import file
thanks in advance

I don't think we have an option to Import from Excel file, we are currently in 11.1.2.2 and so far it supported only a Text File Import, In the latest version we can Import from Tables, also no where Oracle has mentioned that we can Import from an Excel File.

Excel Expression in Import Format

Hi,
Has anyone used Excel Expression in Import Format? Trying to figure out how it works, appreciate any help.
Thanks.

The Expression Field of the import format is limited to one of the built in FDM Expressions such as (FILL=EurotoUS), a hard coded value, or a import script name

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?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Skip a member in import format

Hi All,
I'm creating an import format for a location to load a csv file.
In that I need to skip an entity(actually 20+ entities) related data while importing.
But "SKIP" is not working here.
FIELD NAME FIELD NUMBER NUMBER OF FIELDS EXPRESSION
Skip 3 4 2219
Above combination is not working while import. All record with 2219 got loaded and failing at validation.
Is "SKIP" mentioned for the same purpose?
Is there any possiblity to skip a particular combination member as well using SKIP? (EX:- abcdxx1234, ijklxx5678 - member contains xx should be skipped)
Target is Planning Application, Adapter ES 11x-G4-H
Facing one more issue.
This is first time i'm using essbase adapter.
When I try to import map, import completed successful from excel. But no map got updated.
Map not getting updated even with a single member.
Thanks in advance.

Those entities should be skipped as long as the value 2219 is found in Field3 so it must not be matching 2219 against any values in that field. Are you sure there are no whitespace characters in the source field? Another option would be to map the Entity 2219 (and other entities you are not interested in to a target of IGNORE in youe Entity mapping. You can Skip based on a particular combination but this would require an import script to define the more complex criteria and execute the skip.
In terms of your mapping import issue are you sure that the Location ID specified in your Excel mapping template actually corresponds to the Location ypou are trying to import the maps to?

I need how to load data from MS Excel(csv format) to NW Excel

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP MS to NW Manually.
I need how to load data from MS excel (csv format) to NW excel .
For example 2008 budget data.
Could you please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards
Krishna

Hi,
You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
Thanks,
Sreeni

How to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Node

Hi
i Want to know how to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Nodes.Can anyone show me with example or format for version Hierarchy with few nodes for the hierarchy
i Want to Build   this   1. Version1 (Version)
                                 2.Account (Hirerarchy)
                                 3. Balancesheet (Limb)
                                 4. Assets (Limb)
                                 5. Cash (Leaf)
Thanks,

Please follow the DRM User Guide,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/drm_user.pdf
Below is my preferred approach, by selecting only relation and Hierarchy sections,
The relation section contains the Node Name and Parent Name ( you can include any other properties, but as a best practice keep the Parent Node as the last column).
The Hierarchy ( Hier ) section contains the Hierarchy Name, Top Node and Hierarchy description
Follow the Import steps and provide a Name for the version.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[relation]
AC_BalanceSheet AC_Account
AC_Asset AC_Account
AC_Cash AC_Account
[hier]
Account AC_Account AccountHier
++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: Please delete all the special characters (TAB) created at the end of [relation] and [hier] sections while you copy the content from an Excel sheet to a Notepad.

Excel Importer for Visual Studio LightSwitch 2013

Has anyone managed to get the 'Excel Importer for Visual Studio LightSwitch' extension working with Visual Studio 2013?

Hi Kevin,
I assume you mean this extension here -
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlight/Excel-Importer-for-Visual-61dd4a90
From what I can tell that does not yet support VS 2013. The source code is of course available, so you could attempt to fix it up yourself and tell us the result.

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?
Edited by: dforde on Jan 27, 2010 11:12 PM

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Edited by: user11237443 on Aug 27, 2009 1:22 AM

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 format

Hi all,
we have some problems with Excel file format on BPC 7.5NW SP06:
1- We save input schedules or reports woth Excel 2007 file format. Then when we try to open these report they are corrupted (we click on "Open" and nothing happens). We can download the report from UJFS. The xltx file is corrupted. We can change th file extension to xls. Then we can open the report again.
2- Is it possible to define the default extension when we save input schedules and reports? By default xltx is selected. We want to have xlt selected by default.
thanks for your help,
Romuald

Hello,
First you can try checking if you have configured your apset to work with xltx.
1. Open BPC web admin and select AppSet Parameters
2. Check ALLOW_EXTENSIONS and DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS if you have xltx there
3. If not, add and click on update
If this continues to happen, check note "1579344 - Office 2007 extensions not loading in BPC 7.5 SP6 for NW". This can be a program error, but note that it only happens for some templates.
Hope it helps

Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

Hi All,
Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format. I'm currently running the following report in SAP and would like the
ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
much data manipulation. Can you please assist me. Below, I've tried to
provide an example of what I'm encountering. Thanks, beforehand for
your assistance.
Here goes:
Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
Inventory
Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter the
desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
selection noted in the tool bar below. The result is a data friendly
excel 2007 report is automatically generated.
Export to Excel via list:
Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
the report immediately. Now let go back and run the exact same report
with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID. Given the report generated in
the background, I would now access the report via the spool and make
the following selections:
SP01 + execute to see my report
I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
with. I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer. The currency
format and other issues arrise with this extract. Please help.
Thanks,
Chowadary.

Update to Latest GUI.
Use List -> Export -> Spreadsheet to get the output to excel.
I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

Amount from 2 different columns. import format?

Hi all,
Im trying to import amounts from 2 different columns. If accounts are "123" or "234" or...etc
Then pull from column
else use column 9
can this be done in one import script? I want to know if I can assign import format amount to column 5 but only get the accounts asked for. else use column 9.
thanks

I made something like this, and assigned it to an amount column with all the amounts. Does it make sense?
Function This_Code (strField, strRecord)
Dim Account
Dim Ammount
'Field instead of strRecord
account = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 5, ",")
Amount = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 11, ",")
If Account = "123" or Account = "456" Then
Amount = This_Code
End If

FDM Fixed-Width Import Format & Multiple Accounts/Periods Issue

Hi FDM experts,
I have an issue that I wanted to reach out to you on regarding fixed-width import formats and how to cater for my current scenario for export to Hyperion Planning.
I am working with a flat file (.txt) I need to import to FDM with the current format;
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Z
Year
Channel
Product
Jan-MTD-Account 1
Jan-MTD-Account 2
Jan-YTD-Account1
Jan-YTD-Account2
Dec-YTD-Account2
2013
Channel_1
Product_1
1000
2000
1000
2000
10000
These are all fixed in width so the field lengths will need to be defined in the import format. The requirement for loading to the system is only a speciifc Month YTD value for both Account1 and Account 2.
If my chosen Month is 2013 Jan, I will only require columns F and G to be loaded. These are the issues I have identified;
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to multiple accounts in the same file? Or would I need a separate import format per account?
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to a variable Actual Month period? Or do I need 12 import formats/locations per month?
Your help is much appreciated!
Many thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
the solution you are looking for needs pivoting your source file.
Think that FDM, by default, only accepts files with one single column for amount. You have to pivot your file based on your logic and import the pivoted file.
For example:
Year     Channel     Product     ... Jan-YTD-Acc1     Jan-YTD-Acc2 ...
2013     CH1          PR1               1000                    2000
If your POV is Jan-2013, your data imported will look like:
Year     Channel     Produc     Account     Amount
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC1          1000
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC2          2000
All this process can be automated by playing with Import Scripts.
