Excel output: Cell Size not adequate

Hi all,
I am designing an XML Report whose default output format is excel.
To one field, I am assigning a long text. When I run the report and generate excel output, the text is not shown fully. I have to manually increase the column size in excel to see the entire text
Is there some setting in RTF such that I can force the column to expand to accommodate entire string at all times?
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi,
I am using 10.1.3.4.1 BI Publisher. When I upload my .rtf template in Backoffice 13.0.1, the cell sizes get adjusted in a random manner. The size doesn't remain same in the Back office application from what I have created in .rtf temlpate. How can I fix the cell size in BI publisher so that it doesn't get auto adjusted in BackOffice application.
Please help to resolve this issue. Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Excel output file size is large - How to make it small in size?

Hi,
An Excel file out put is too large when I get it from application. If I copy and paste the same content in an excel sheet , the size is too small.
How can I fix this?
Excel output size from application - 12.4 MB - 4500 records
copy paste file size - 827 KB
Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2
BI Publisher Desktop Version - 10.1.3.4.2
Thanks in advance.

BIP generates an XHTML output with mime-type xls and thus Excel is invoked when it is downloaded. XHTML is text and therefore it is lenghty. When you copy and paste it in Excel you save it in binary format and compress.
My suggestion is create an excel template instead of rtf. Not sure if this is possible for EBS (open a ticket with Oracle Support to confirm you can use excel templates in EBS the version you have).
Reference:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/real_excel_templates_i
In this way your output will be a truly binary file with size much more smaller.

PDF and Excel output cell spacing issues

Hi all..
I have a report and template whose output should be both in PDF and Excel.
Lets say I have two tables in out put one below other. (Table1 and table 2 below it..)
Table 1 has 5 columns and table 2 has 30 columns.
In PDF since it is difficult and ugly to show 30 columns, I made font as 6( very small font)
PDF output looks fine. But, when I open the reort in excel..its all messed up and ugly.
Table 1 column widths are very much uneven. lI noticed that table1, table 2 coulmns width are same...
For my Requirement, they must have seperate widths.. Also..when I open the report in Excel, I still get in font size 6 which is ugly
I want table1 column width and table 2 column width in Excel as seperate..
How do I achieve this.

you can do that too..
two set of tables, one for each output. and use the Microsoft word font properties.
else
add something like this
<fo:block font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red">
Your test or your field
</fo:block>Srini, this worked!
My font differences in Pdf and Excel has been eliminated now.
But however I have one more problem as I stated in my first post.
When I exported into Excel, My column width of first table is dependant on the other making my report look uneven.
I am providing the screen shots.
Look how Rate column of first table is very huge as it took the colmun width of table2 (Decription column)

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

How to control Excel Output in Oracle BI Publisher

I have created an XML report in Oracle E-Business Suite. It displays the output in Excel. The problem is when I generate it's output in PDF it is perfectly fine but when I see the output in Excel, the layout automatically aligns it to the leftmost corner. This behavior is same with all the Excel reports.
My question is: Is it the default behavior of Excel outputs or Can I control the layout so that it is displayed in the middle not the leftmost corner?
Can I center align the layout by default? If so , how?

Missing column data in Excel output

I have a report where one object is not displaying when output to excel. When refreshing the report in Webi or Deski, the results show, but when it is exported to excel, that particular column is missing data...the column header still shows though. I have tried adding the formula =Trim([Object]) which worked once but is not working in this instance. Any ideas on what may be causing this and potential fixes?

Hi,
There are no merged columns. I made sure the table is flush to the top of the report. Also the column header is visible. See below. I highlighted the Summary column in webi to show the formula that had worked previously to alleviate this issue, but as you can see in the excel output, it is not working. Also, I made sure the formatting of that column is the same as the other columns.

Problem with Cell size in Excel output of XML report

Dear all,
I am facing a problem with cell size when i run my XML report in Excel output. I found that it imitates the cell size of whatever i gave in the RTF. I cannot increase the cell size in RTF as my report contains 60 columns and max width of MS Word table is 22 inches.
Can any one suggest a way of doing this which shows full data in Excel sheet depending on the column data size with out any word wrap.
Thanks
RAJ

Hi ,

<xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="wrap-option">no-wrap</xsl:attribute>

I am in the print mode but the dimensions I select in the size template do not show up on either the cell size or the photo, i.e. select 4x6 template lR gives me 3.5x4 8x10 gives me 5.19x3,50 I have to use 8x10 template in order to get 3.5x5.194

The sizes on the print template do not relate to the size I get in the cell size or on the photo. Template 8x10 gives me 3.5 x5.194 which is on the cell size can't make it any larger. 4X6 template gives me 3.5x4 which is the same as the cell size. My printer is a new epson 3000 which is set to print 4x6 but LR does not give the 4x6 dimension to the printer just the aforementioned sizes!!!! I have tried everything to get it to print properly to no avail. The photo system that came with the computer an iMac 27" pro 2013 with yosemite as the os.works fine with he printer! You just cannot do much other than print with it
Anybody have any idea what happened? It used to work fine ____about a week and a half ago

Chart(graph) is not displaying in my Excel output

Hi All,
I was working with oracle EBZ R12, and bi publisher 10g,
I have developed a RTF with graph, when i moved the RTF and run the report through application (the Excel output is not showing the Graph,but in pdf output the graph is coming fine).
I have gone through this documents
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10091_01/doc/bip.1013/e05000/toc.htm
and the forum question already raised for the same.

Hi,
Its looks like this might be the customization issue please have a look at the OSS Notes 457497 and refer to the questions 2, 3 & 4 may be you can get the idea (Specially 4).
Why are some texts not printed at all?
Answer:
Which texts are printed depends on the Customizing settings of purchasing.
Go to Customizing for purchasing.
Choose "Messages -> Texts for Messages -> Define Texts for <Purchasing Document>". Choose "Print Document <Purchasing Document>". Select "Texts for Document Items" and add a new entry.
You must specify a value for the print sequence in the detailed screen for your new entry.
Let me know in case of any.

Opening up an Excel output takes a lot of time whenever the file size is la

Hi All,
We have some BI Pub reports with excel output format. These files have records in the order of thousands. The file sizes are > 2MB. Its taking a lot of time to open such files. Does anyone have any idea how can we get around this problem ??
Thanks in advacne,
Venkatesh N

Another point is that BIP doesn't create a native/binary Excel file but an XML output. When you open this XML once and save it again as *.XLS it's size will decrease significantly and Excel will open it much faster.
This applies to Excel 2000 - 2003, I don't know how it works with Office 2007.

XML Publisher Report not displaying Chart/Graph in Excel Output

Hi All,
We are currently on Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2
I am facing an issue with XML Publisher based report when i try to fetch the output in Excel.
We have created an RTF in which i have embedded a graph. While viewing the output in PDF everything seems to work fine.
however when i try to run the report with output as Excel the Graph is not displayed.
Can you please let me know if i missed anything.
Also it would be very helpful if someone can tell me how to get the output of Excel in .XLSX format.
I have seen in various forums that you need to select the output type as Excel 2007, but i am not getting any such option while submitting the report.
I am on EBS version 11.5.10.2 do we need to install any patch to get the output option.

Sandeep

Manipulating the cell size in an Excel spreadsheet

Problem 1 of 2 (2 is in the same project but a different function so will place in separate post)
Using LV 2013 on Windows 7 with Excel 2010
I have a routine where I insert assorted data into an Excel spreadsheet based on a pre-formatted Excel template. Problem is, when one group of data is placed in the range of cells (ends up being a column because of the way the data array is formatted) that particular column width is reduced.
Because once of the cells automatically formats as the Excel Date / Time format (as desired) the narrower width of the cell makes the value unreadable. (Just like when a real numerical value is longer than the cell is wide, all you see is hash marks)
I verified my column width in the template is where it should be, it definitely is reduced when the data is entered. I also tried using the “Excel Set Cell Dimension.vi” to change the cell width back to what I need but it does not work. Not sure why. When I tried placing the function at the beginning of the routine, I think it created an error and the rest of the report/excel functions failed to work. I didn’t monitor the error wire to confirm this.
My next approach will be to write a macro in the template file and call this at the end to fix the cell width but this seems like the long way around.
Any thoughts on the best way to fix this? Or why the “Excel Set Cell Dimension” function does not work?
Thanks…..
Doug

Am using report toolkit. Have not looked inside the vi(s) but will do so to see if I can pull out some functions that I can manipuate to work my issue.
Will report back when I figure something out. Probably next monday, off work tomorrow, Whoo Hoo

XML Report - Excel output automatic cell expand

Hi,
I created a XML report with Excel output. It works fine but I have 35 columns in that report.
When I open the excel file - columns are not expanded, user needs to expand it manually.
But It should automatically expanded when the user opens the report. How can i do that?
Thanks in advance.

You need to create the rtf template with enough width for each column to render the output fully expanded when viewed from BI Publisher Desktop, which will look the same when run as a concurrent request. If you used the table wizard to create your excel layout, you can widen the columns in Word and paste/enter some spaces before or after each header field in the top row which will force the html rendering that XML Plublisher utilizes to widen the columns when creating Excel output. The fundamental disconnect here is XML Publisher is not rendering .xls or .csv output, but rather html that opens in Excel minus most Excel formatting. You might need to use a 22 inch landscape layout to fit all 35 columns after they are widened.
