Excel Import problem

I'm having trouble with importing data from excel. I'm using HiQ version 4.5 and during import spurious data seems to appear after import. doesn't inspire confidence in software quality

When the Excel Import dialog is invoked, you need to give the information required on the tabs.
1. On the columns tab: Shuttle any columns you want imported to the right.
2. On the Data Types Tab: In the second column, you need to match the column selected with the column in your table.
Then you can say insert.

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.

Excel import problems

Hi - i recently imported information of a football team from excel into indesign and the birth date information magically all changed by 4 years and 1 day. Not very helpful!
The Excel application is Microsoft 2008 and Indesign is CS3. Has anyone else had this happen and can you tell me what to do to stop it happening again?
Jacky

Excel on the Mac uses the 1904 date system by default, I think. Do you have the option to change that to the 1900 system and re-import? The difference between dates in the two systems is four years and one day, or 1462 days.

1.5.1: Excel import - Problem with NULL values in date fileds

Hi,
I'm trying to import Excel Data via CSV with the import into table feature of SQLDeveloper.
Everything works fine, but if I select some of my date colums I get an error telling me that I have null or invalid values in a date column:
Verifying if the Date columns have date formats
FAILED
Date columns SOA_CONTROLLING_NO, SOA_DATE_OF_CONTROLLING, PAYOUT_ME_2_SUM, PAYOUT_ME_1_SUM, PAYOUT_PLUS_SUM, PAYOUT_6_SUM, PAYOUT_5_SUM, PAYOUT_4_SUM, PAYOUT_3_SUM, PAYOUT_2_SUM, PAYOUT_1_SUM, CONTRACT_APPENDIX_SUM, CONTRACT_BASE_SUM, ME_CONVENANT_SUM, REF_SUM_NO_REPAY, SEL_CONVENANT_SUM, ME_REQ_SUM, REF_REQ_SUM_NO_REPAY, SEL_REQ_SUM, have invalid or null date formats
I tried:
+20012121313,demo1,,+
+20012121313,demo1,NULL,+
+20012121313,demo1,to_date(NULL),+
but none of them worked...
How may I import those columns, where some of the rows contain NULL values?
Same story using 1.5... ;-(
Thank you!
Best regards,
Johann

Look at the query Andy proposed:
SELECT NULL LINK, start_date, NVL(sum_of_trans, 0) + 0.001 VALUE
FROM (SELECT   TRUNC (startdate) start_date,
                 CASE
                    WHEN :p9_view_by = 1
                       THEN ROUND (DURATION / 60, 3)
                    ELSE 1
                 END sum_of_trans
            FROM TRANSACTION
           WHERE trans_id = x AND startdate BETWEEN y AND z
        GROUP BY TRUNC (startdate)) xDoes this query deliver anything?

Probleme bei Excel-Import mit SBO 2007

Hallo zusammen!
Wir haben bei einem gewöhnlichen Stammdatenimport zu den Geschäftspartnern mit Excel folgendes Problem:
die Fehlermeldung lautet: interner Fehler --> Zahlwege für Zahlungsassistenten (OPYM) (-2007) aufgetreten.
Wenn wir die Zahlwege für den ZAhlungsassistenten einrichten, kommt nur noch die Fehlermeldung "(-2007)"; an einen Import der Daten ist dennoch nicht zu denken.
Es handelt sich lediglich um einen Exel-Import! Probeweiser haben wir die Daten in eine 2005er Version eingespielt; hier klappte es ohne Probleme!
Ist dieses Problem schon bei jemand anderem ebenfalls aufgetreten? Ich habe etwas durch das Forum gestöbert, aber leider nichts passendes gefunden...
Für Ratschläge bin ich sehr dankbar,
VG daniel

Hallo Daniel,
Das berichtete Problem ist ein Programmfehler in Business One Anwendung. Der Programmfehler wird in 2007 Version gefixt.
Fuer weitere Information suchen Sie bitte nach SAP Note 1296487 im Service Marketplace um nachzuprüfen, ob der vorbereitete Fix Ihren Erwartungen entspricht.

Excel import: importing too many rows

I am working with SQL Developer 1.2.0 Build MAIN-29.98 and have a problem with Excel import: I would like to import some data from an XLS file. I click on Actions -> Import Data -> Excel, complete the dialog and check the DML: there are 3 insert into SQL statements that are correct (I can run them manually); however, SQL Developer imports not only 3 rows but much more! I cancelled the action after SQL Developer already imported 1015 rows!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

When I do a print preview I see only the rows and columns I entered, there is only one page. It seems that everything is ok in Excel.
In the Excel import dialog SQL Developer correctly shows the preview of the content of the XLS file.
Interestingly I often get a Java NullPointerException (local Java 6 JRE & JDK installation) when calling the Excel import dialog :(

Excel-Import with SBO 2007

Hello to all!
I have problems concerning the Excel-Import-function within SAP 2007.
I want to import some business partners (what should not be such a huge problem), but an internal error occures which states:
"internal error: Payment Methods for Payment Wizard (OPYM) (-2007) occured.
After I set up the Payment Wizard it is still not working - now the internal error stats: "(-2007)".
Experimentally, I tried to import the bp-data into an older version SAP BO 2005 - as personally expected no internal errors occured! even if i do not set up the Payment Wizard...
Here are some facts to our sbo 2007 version:
2007A (8.00.178)
SP: 00
PL: 44
I tried to find a thread upon this topic, but I could not find any. Maybe some of you might be able to help me! I am looking forward to it,
thanks a lot
daniel

Hi Daniel,
i had have similar problems by importing datas via excel function. My suggestion is to import step by step.
Select a few records and separate it into an extra excel sheet...(5-10 Records)
First try to import only CardCode, CardName, second try 2 records more. So you will find the records, that makes some trouble.
Regards Steffen
(P.S. I think it could be the g/l account definition, but i am not sure.)

HD Import Problems

I recently purchased a Canon HV 20 HD Camcorder. Picture quality and playback from the camera is excellent. However I have had a few problems following import of HD footage to my computer with IMovie 06 HD. Most of the footage is fine, however a few scenes get very choppy and do not run smoothly (compared to direct playback from the camera). Also some scenes have distorted sound, it sounds like the speech is lowed down. I have all the latest updates installed for IMovie.
Anyone else had similar problems?

Hi Tim and others on this thread.
Having raised a few hares, I felt duty bound to take another look at this problem.
I dug out a master tape of my last 1080i HD project and which contained two clips with distorted sound. They were the last two clips of a 60 minute recording on a 63 minute tape and were, respectively, 13.5" and 47" long. They played fine in the camcorder and I have now discounted the camcorder and tape as a possible cause of the problem, following further testing in iMovie 6.
I connected the camcorder to main power, then connected it via Firewire to the iMac, switched the camcorder to Play/Edit, and then opened a new imovie project(1080i PAL). I imported the last 4 minutes of the tape including the problem clips. The clips imported at half speed which is normal for my 1.8GHz CPU and shortly after I was able to preview in real time.
The two problem clips still had distorted sound and the preceding two clips had no problem when reviewed in the Clips pane preview.
I then highlighted the problem clips and dragged them simultaneously into the Timeline. The sound problem disappeared-they both played fine. I dragged them back to the clips pane and the problem reappeared.
I then tried dragging them back to the Timeline and that seemed too much for iMovie 6. Sometimes a clip would work, then only one clip, then I lost sound altogether on the second clip,etc. Once you go beyond a certain point iMovie 6 will just become impossible.
Quitting iMovie and then reopening the project got one clip to work temporarily but clearly is not a solution.
Apple`s suggestions to conserve power when in HD by turning off Show Audio Waveform in View did nothing and neither did their other suggestion of deselecting Keep Playhead Centred in Playback Preferences. Neither did their suggestion to Repair Permissions. I had already tried their other suggestions of defragmenting my drive and there is now little more I can do to improve the performance of my computer.
What did get me back on track was to close iMovie>ditch the iMovie preferences plist(Home>Library>Preferences)>re-open iMovie. The other thing that worked was your idea Tim of extracting the audio of both clips, and in fact this seemed to be the most lasting solution. However, starting with dragging both clips from Clips Pane to Timeline might prove better than either-I still do not know whether dragging them together was what what did the trick. Of course, it might be necessary to do all three if problems persist.
Because I had confused iMovie with all this messing around, I ran DiskWarrior to tidy things up. No major problems were reported but this application does not report all the corrections it makes. Thus it sorted out a previous problem I experienced with iMovie 6 when trying to use purchased music but I have no idea what changes it made.
My revised conclusion is that we may all need a lot more power in the CPU when editing high definition in iMovie 6. For example, the new 24" iMac G5 has the equivalent of double the power of my current iMac.
David Babsy, a frequent contributor to these forums often mentions that most of his problems disappeared with a more powerful computer. You only have to see how things dramatically slow down in iMovie 6 when reaching the end of a big high definition movie edit to appreciate the need for more power.
Obviously we still need extra RAM and also a big hard drive to cope with the vastly bigger files that HD needs.
But power, memory and storage are, I now think, not the full answer. There is a bug or a series of bugs still to be resolved in iMovie 6 if it is to be truly stable. I include importing problems with HD in that list.
I still think iMovie 6 is fantastic, even on my underpowered iMac.
Apologies for previously confusing the issue with camcorder/tape issues.
The problem clips are still working in iMovie as I post this.

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.
Thanks.

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

Combining Text in Automator for Excel import.

I'm attempting to create an automator workflow that will string some text together so that it can be imported into an Excel worksheet. Here's my workflow so far.
• New Text File
Creates file temp.txt
• Run AppleScript
Opens file temp.txt
• Get Specified Text (specified text below)
Read Today
Read Tomorrow
Read This Week
Read This Month
• Filter Paragraphs (needed so the text is not treated as one big line of text and is displayed in the next step correctly)
Return Paragraphs that are not empty
• Choose from List (all 4 items displayed correctly, all selected by default)
Select one item
• Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
• Get Specified Text (specified text below (a semi-colon))
• Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
• Get Specified Text (specified text below)
keywords go here
• Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
• Get Contents of TextEdit Document (results below)
Read Today
keywords go here"
(Once I get this part working, I will add a URL onto it also).
So, all my content has arrived here, but on three different lines. But because it is on three different lines, it does not import into Excel correctly. I can't concatenate this using the usual AppleScript method because I would have to declare these items as variables. I've tried various ideas, but I cannot get the three above to append to one line, like this…
Read Today;keywords go here
without manual intervention, which sort of defeats the reason for trying to automate this.
I hope I've explained this well enough that it makes sense.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Well, it is good to know that it can be done in Applescript, though I have not found a way to accomplish this. All examples I have seen (Googling and AppleScript 1-2-3 book) use set statements using static strings, and then concatenating those statements together. Since my values are dynamic, those examples don't help.
What I have to work with are these lines of text in a new document.
Read Today
keywords go here
The text will vary from run to run.
What I need to end with is… (for use in Excel, import text files action)
Read Today;keywords go here (line1 & line2 & line3)
So, I don't know how to proceed from here, unless I can do something like set var1 to line1 of temp.txt, set var2 to line2 of temp.txt, etc.
