Excel output (with graphics)

Hello,
I am using Oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version.
We need to generate oracle reports in Excel format ("real" Excel, not delimited text) with tabular data and
also graphics.
I used desformat=spreasheet. But is is giving only one worksheet.
I've found the "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports"
demo but the Excel template in the demo is very simple and doesn't have graphics.
Then I've found the following:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/excel_output/result/excel.jpg
a) The above site has excel output with multiple worksheets.
which is similar to what we need but I wasn't able to find related source (excel_emp.jsp).
b) Using jsp if we can ahieve multiple worksheets with grapahics, please provide us examples.
c) http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html --This site is not working to find the demo.
Could you please help me in this?
Thank you for any help.

carla,
the example you mentioned uses the JSP web source that is only available in oracle9i reports.
in theory you can create any excel output. it is just a matter of creating the template and then adding the reports tags to populate it with data.
you could then use reports' URL engine to produce files from this output.
there are certainly ways to do it, but they are only available in oracle9i reports (9.0.2 and higher)

philipp

Hi Rohit ,
I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
I copied same under Myprojects as well.
you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
try to run from Jdeveloper .
Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .

Internal table in Excel output with Header and Total

Hi All,
I have a selection-screen of a report where there is option to specify the path of a file to be stored in local PC. This Report gives output in ALV format which displays header and total of columns.
Now, the requirement is, when the user specifies a path for the file in selection screen it should download in the specified location with header and total row into an excel format.
The issue is, I have the internal table with data without total and header row and the total is getting displayed in the screen through ALV feature. I am not sure, how to give the same output in downloaded excel with header row and total as it is displayed on screen.
Please let me know, if you have any suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Anshumita.

try using TOP OF PAGE event and write the number of records in the header part.
hope this will help.

Matrix with excel output?

Hi
I was wondering if creating a matrix report with excel output is possible?
_*

Hi
Are you referring to creating matrix report with excel output by specifying
destype=localfile desformat=DELIMITED delimited_hdr=yes?
Also, I am aware that we can create well formatted excel output with jsp reports. Has anyone given that a try with matrix reports or only rdf would work?
Thx!

Report painter report in portal - Excel output in SAP GUI for HTML

Dear sirs,
I need your expertize. I would like to let my users display (Excel in place)/ save the result of my report painter reports into MS Excel. I have found notes 499262 a 314568, but didn´t understand the message (or there is no message:)). Does that mean I cannot use Excel in place together with Report painter and SAP GUI for HTML?
Second question: is there a place (user exit in generated code? I don´t even know what I am looking for) to get the data provided by the report painter engine and send the retrieved data to some custom function (to be able to call the Adobe form, to save it as a text file or any option how to manipulate the resulting data...?).
thank you for your time and effort,
regards Otto

Hi Otto,
You can send print the report to the spool and then use RSTXPDFT4 program to convert this spool to PDF file. Alternatively, you can export the spool to spreadsheet or ASCII file via SP01 transaction.
Additinally, I'm not aware of unability to use Excel output with SAP GUI interface.

Eli

How to Design Report for Excel output?

Hello Experts...
I have both versions Crystal Report XI and Crystal 2013 at this time as we are in the process of Upgrading...
How to design for excel output with no page size limit.
I have several fields going across (crossing width of paper size 11X17 landscape) and I do not need this report output to be printed at all only for excel output.
Appreciate your time!
Thank you,
Padma

Hi Padma,
You would need to increase the Page Size horizontally. Go to File > Page Setup > Check 'No Printer' > Check 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer page Size' > Increase the Horizontal value.

Reports which generate Excel output do not open under ie8/Oracle Forms

Hello,
we run Oracle Forms (regardless whether under Jinitiator 1.3.1.22(28) or SUN JVM) and generate Excel output with Oracle Reports (web.show_document). This works well under Internet Explorer 6 (ie6) but not under Internet Explorer 8 (ie8).
The effect ist that a new browser window opens and closes very quickly without anything further happening.
I honestly assume that this has not to do with oracle reports but ask this nevertheless in this forum as there might be people which made the same experiences...
I additionally found out that the same problem exists when gerenating excel or ms word output via a db procedure (with http. modules). There I found that suppressing the question (open/save/cancel) before opening a file (via the windows explorer file type association menu) helped with excel and ms word output (but this might be regarded as a not satisfying workaround).
The problem persists with other applications' file types than XLS or DOC which are also correctly registered on the client.
I'm not sure whether mimetypes sent along with the files (which were obviously correct with ie6) play a role in this problem.
Peter

Hello,
Your problem with IE 8 seems to be similar to the one discussed here :
IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Internet_Email/Web_Browsers/Interne
t_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
You can test the solution suggested :
We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
from interfering with this sort of download.

Error when opening BIP 10.1.3.3 Excel output in Excel 2002

We have BIP 10.1.3.3 and Excel 2002 in use. When generating Excel output with BIP, we always get an error in Excel that the generated file can't be opened. Access is denied because of some error with resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'. (Unfortunately, I only get a German error message).
Does anyone has an idea, how to change settings in BIP or Excel to work around this error?
Thanks in advance!
Marco

Hi Tim,
the German error message is:
Diese Datei kann nicht geöffnet werden, weil:
Zugriff verweigert
Fehler beim Bearbeiten der Ressource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'.
Zeile 3, Position 57.
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
It seems, that Excel 2002 can't do anything with this DOCTYPE. But what would be a workaround?
Best regards,
Marco

Hello Tim,
First time posting a message in this forum. We have a report that we export to Excel for users to analyse it futher. Report consists of all percentages with % sign at the end of each value in the cells. Negetive numbers are highlighted in red enclosed in brackets with % sign at the end. All numbers are rounded to one decimal in the source query, so the XML data has values rounded to one decimal. When we export the report to Excel, all positive numbers are rounding to 2 decimal points and negetive numbers to one decimal point. When exported to PDF, all values are rounded to one decimal. Is there a way to fix this in Excel output?
Thanks in advance.

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

Problem with images in XML with excel output

Hello:
I made an XML concurrent program, with excel output, but i am having a problem:
The rtf template has a logo (bmp image), but it is not showing in the excel (if i execute the concurrent in the oracle applications). However, if i create the xml in Oracle Reports in my computer, and then load that xml in the rdf template in word, i can see the logo in the excel preview. I don't know why is it not showing when i execute the program in applications.
If someone can help me with this, i will be very grateful.

xml cP, will not give you a image in excel output,..
In RDF there is a placeholder for image, and the image is located in certain location, at runtime it picks and render the output with logo.
but xml CP, will get the data in xml type and merge with rtf to get the output you wanted..
if you have the rtf with logo embedded in it, if output is of pdf or rtf output , then it will display the logo ,.
in excel currently it is not possible to show the logo,..
excel you see could be xml-excel or csv-excel not the true binary excel.
to get the logo embedded ,for that you have to wait on tim for the excel template, which will be release in near future i guess..

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.
