Excel OLE query

I want to use the the OpenText method of the workbooks collection in Excel.
This method expects an array for the method parameter FieldInfo.
How do i pass an array to this parameter from ABAP ?

EXCEL Web Query - load into SAP via Web dynpro or standard ABAP

Hi everybody
I was wondering if you can run an EXCEL WEB Query from abap and then upload the data retrieved from the web into SAP using either a web dynpro application or standard SAP.
For standard ABAP one could probably run the EXCEL web query by executing some code such as
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
exporting
document = 'your excel web query file'.
You could then save the data and using GUI_UPLOAD get it into sap.
I'd really like to do it via a web dynpro application.
Any ideas anyone.
For guys who've never used EXCEL web queries --quite easy.
Open EXCEL
go to Import External Data
Choose New web query
Enter URL of where you want to retrieve your data from such as YAHOO finance etc.
For example to get the components of the Dow Jones Composite Index (^DJA) use this url
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cp?s=%5EDJA
click the yellow arrow on the table data you want to import. The arrow will turn Green and press IMPORT
Then enter the cell number where you want to start importing data
Hey presto you've got your data from the web.
Cheers
jimbo

when you create a new webquery, in the properties, you can set when the page should refresh (data fetch to happen), you can set that to refresh at file open.
then you can use either OLE or gui_upload to upload the excel to read the data.
have couple of question:
why do you want to choose excel webquery ?=> is it because the ability to get unstructured data from the web?
what sort of data you are trying to read from the web?=> most of data centric sites (forex, stock quotes) will have either RSS feeds or some web APIs to get data which can be easily consumed by ABAP

Visual studio online - Excel power query usage and samples needed

Background
Visual Studio Online does not offer much in the way of reporting, when compared to (onsite) TFS... unless you utilize the REST API functionality.
The Visual Studio Online REST API is fairly extensive, but not very 'reporting' friendly to applications like Microsoft Excel.
Question
Are there any good examples of Microsoft Excel Power Query usage - to acquire and create reports via the Visual Studio Online REST API? I've searched - but surprisingly haven't found anything of substance. It is fairly simple to call a VSO REST
query using Excel Power Query, but not so simple to iterate through the lists within lists, etc... unless you are familiar with 'M language'.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am currently researching to gather more information with regards to your request. I shall revert back to you with an update at the earliest. Sincerely appreciate your patience.

Opening Linked Excel OLE Objects in Forms 6i

Hi,
I have a linked Excel OLE object which is populating properly into an OLE container. However, I cannot open the file to save a local copy, as I would a non-linked Excel OLE object. If I right-click on the linked OLE object choose copy, I can paste the data into a spreadsheet, but it appears as an image, rather than as regular tabulated data. Is there anyway to open the file normally?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shay,
Thanks for the reply but i was unable to register to metalink. they need some support agreement code which i do not have. Can you please give me some more information on how to use that.

Port Excel SmartView Query to Powerpoint

Can someone help me with detailed steps on how to port an Excel Smartview query to a MS Powerpoint presentation slide. I would like to port my nicely formatted smartview query to a powerpoint presentation that I am working on. I will like the formatting to be retained and also be able to refresh data in the SV query inside my powerpoint presentation. Thanks.

What version of Oracle client are you using? There's a known issue with older versions where you'd get errors if the app executable resided in a path with parenthesis in it. It's resolved in 10203 and later though, so the better solution rather than moving executable around is to just use 11g client. If you have access to MOS, see the following:
ORA-12154 or ORA-6413 Running 32-bit Oracle Software on 64-bit Windows OS [ID 334528.1]
Hope it helps,

Query SQL code gets deleted after export to Excel. "Query must have at least one destination field"

Hi all,
I'm getting really frustrated by this Access error. It happens when I export the result of a query through an Access macro to Excel, the first time it runs well but the next time, there is a chance that the query won't run and the error "Query
must have at least one destination field" will be displayed. After that, I try to check the query SQL code and discover the code has vanished. I'm using simple Select query without joins, only "where", "group by" and "order by"
statements.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Jesus
Edit:
One of these queries are like the following (all of them are of this type):
SELECT Field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, Sum(Field6) AS SumOfField6, Sum(Field7) AS SumOfField7
FROM Table1
WHERE Field6 is not null
GROUP BY Field1, field2, field3, field4, field5
Order By Sum(Field6) desc

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your response, I updated the original question with one of the codes.
Thanks,

Excel 2007 query problems

Has anyone else noticed problems with Excel 2007 when doing webqueries? We have someone who wrote a bunch of VBA in an excel document (excel 2003) that does 7 web queries, and then creates pivot tables on the results.
Because of the row limitations in older excel version (1million+ rows in Excel 2007), we upgraded. However, now the Excel queries take forever. In TOAD, the queries run in 5 seconds, but take hours upon hours in Excel 2007. The PC where Excel runs is adequately powered (CPU, RAM, etc) to handle the load.
I'm assuming some type of ODBC problem? Maybe an incompatibility with Oracle 9iR1 drivers?
We're running 9.2.0.1 here for now.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
-Mike

turns out the Excel 2007 VBA engine is extremely slow. THe query returns very quickly, but Excel 2007 is taking much much longer to use the result set.

Excel insert query

Hi. I connect to excel in this way:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String excelFileName = "logFile.xls";
String excelDatabase= "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=C:/JDoc/Client/classes/logFile.xls;"+
"DriverID=278;READONLY=false";
Connection excelCon = DriverManager.getConnection(excelDatabase);
Statement excelStat;
excelStat=excelCon.createStatement();
// Here is the problem:
String sqlInsert="Insert into [Foglio1$] values('[Data]','[Orario]','[IP]','[Username]','[Operazione]')";
excelStat.executeUpdate(sqlInsert); I have an error with this query (in which i try to insert the table headers):
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][Driver ODBC Excel] Number of values in the query does not correspond to the one in the destination fields
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks..

The Excel ODBC driver should be deprecated, IMO. SQL simply does not offer a rich enough set of functionality to manipulate Excel files (though I give the authors kudos for having an early solution). Jakarta's POI API can read, manipulate and create Excel files via Java. Easy to use and far more features than the Excel ODBC driver.

Excel OLE acces in the Application Server

Hi all,
I have a requirement to Output a formatted(Bold fonts, Merged Cells etc.) Excel File.
It is to be run as background process. So ideally, the file will be produced in the ApplicationServer and will already contain the formatting. If I am to use ole2 functions such as
*--Opening the existing document
   call method of gs_wbooks 'Open' = gs_wbook
   exporting #1 = file_path.
Is this possible? can file_path point to the file created in the ApplicationServer?
Any answers, suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
   OLE commands are linked to the program on the presentation server (in your case it's MS Excel). So, they can't run in background at all.
As you want a formatted excel I can't think of any other way to do that except OLE (I may be wrong).
Another method I can suggest is to send the output in HTML format in a E-Mail. In that case you have option of basic formatting.
It is just a suggestion as I am not sure of your exact requirement.

Office 365 Excel Power Query Preview Problem Signing In -- Appears Corrupted, Please Repair

The image below shows that Excel "thinks" I'm signed in with an organizational account that has Power BI Preview, yet Power Query from Excel doesn't think I'm signed in and says it's corrupted when I try to sign in. I was trying to use the
online search to find the odata feed that I have set up for Office 365 Power BI Preview. So, alternatively, when I go to other data sources and specify the odata feed that is set up properly and available, Microsoft says "access forbidden".
Clearly, account credentials aren't being passed correctly. I have read other posts on this forum and have verified that I have the latest Power Query Preview, that I only use lower case letters to sign in, that IE cache is clear. I have repaired,
uninstalled and re-installed Power Query Preview multiple times, with no change in this behavior.
Any ideas?
Neil

Zarar, yes, tried that, and much more.
Even though Power BI is supposed to navigate through firewalls, I believe we are having firewall problems.
I need to ask our network people to open up for Microsoft on this one, but there's no good information out there on the sites/IPs required to make Power BI Preview work.
In addition, the complexity that comes with using domain credentials, Microsoft Account (live) credentials, and Organizational credentials (O365) on the same computer at various times of the day complicates matters.
That said, I can take my machine to my home network and get as far as attempting to connect to the odata feed I set up -- except the data source is on a computer with an internal IP and Power Query cannot resolve the local computer name -- i.e. x.x.local.
So now, I have two questions:
1. What IPs need to be unblocked to make Power BI work?
2. Is there a way to get the odata feed to work when the datasource is on an internal network (the datasource is working and tests okay from Power BI Admin -- but does not resolve the machine name when coming in through Excel via the odata feed from an off-site
location

Sent output from excel to query builder

Hi all,
I am usung BO XI 3.0. I have some query in query builder, how can I sent that to excel output, without doing VBA.

The only thing without VBA is copying and pasting, as far as I am aware.
What are you trying to accomplish?
I have a macro that extract data from the CMS tables and loads them in Excel.
We can customize it if you wish...

Two Excel Web Query (IQY) features I am missing when using Power Query

1. header labels
In Excel Web Queries, I could specify the heading label
2. format expressions
In Excel Web Queries, I could specify a format string.
I'm not too concerned about #1, but #2 is a real issue. Perhaps is just a lack of feature understanding on my part, but I don't see in the Query Editor any way to change the format for a column. I can change the format in the worksheet but that change
is lost when I refresh the data. Can formatting be done via "M"? If so, then a feature request would be to add formatting to UI.
Reading the docs, I see Number.ToText()
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/number-totext-HA104110114.aspx
But I don't get how I can use this in a Table.TransformColumns

Ah, I did not understand "format" as "number format". As you've noticed, there's no notion of number format in Power Query itself, so you can only format the number by transforming it into another value. Number.ToText has a variety of options for transforming
a number into a string. The following will format the "Column" column to have four places after the decimal point.
= Table.TransformColumns(Data,{{"Column", each Number.ToText(_, "f4")}})
Be aware, though, that this will cause the cell value in Excel to have a type of Text instead of Number.

2 questions in one - Related to Excel Microsoft Query

Hi ALL ,
i want to schedule a microsoft query script to run at 4:36 am Daily and save the workbook as Remedy in a defined path .After an hour the Remedy Excel should automatically get deleted.
Task flow
Excel -- > ODBC --> Remedy DB ---> Data -- > SSIS --- > Load Excel Data to Sql Server ..
Am not able to use SSIS for this as the Data loading is taking huge amount of time using ODBC whereas excel is very fast in retrieving the Data .
Q How can i query the current date in ODBC .
i have tried this:
Where ("HPD:Help Desk"."Last Modified Date" = {fn current_date()}) but its not working ( Error Message lexical 3700 not found)
Where ("HPD:Help Desk"."Reported Date">={ts '2014-01-01 00:00:00'}) ( am using this for now )
Please help am a newbie in excel
Thanks
Priya

In Microsoft query ,we should use date() to get the current date.
Try: Where ("HPD:Help Desk"."Reported Date">=date())
Also please check if the method listed in the following thread is helpful:
