Excel Table with Data Connection Manual Text Entry Misaligned After Refresh

Greetings!
I have an Excel 2010 workbook that includes a table linked to my SharePoint 2013 site by a data connection. The SharePoint list feeds the table standard information that's managed on the SharePoint site, but I need the user of the Excel workbook to be able
to enter text manually in the workbook to associate local information with the line-items coming from the SharePoint list. To do this, I've added extra columns to the end of the table.
The user can enter information in the appropriate cells in the "extra" columns at the end of the table, but when I refresh the data connection, the addition of a new list item on the SharePoint side results in the user's manually entered text getting
out of alignment with the row it's supposed to be associated with.
Example
Column 1(SP)
Column 2(Extra)
Row 1
Item 1
Row 2
Item 2
Text entered for Item 2
Row 3
Item 3
Then, if I add a new item to the list in SharePoint, for example, something that would appear between the original items 1 & 2, after refreshing the table, I get the following:
Column 1(SP)
Column 2(Extra)
Row 1
Item 1
Row 2
New Item 1.5
Text entered for Item 2
Row 3
Item 2
Row 4
Item 3
The table's data connection is set to insert rows for new items, and I could swear I had this working properly once upon a time...but I can't seem to make it work now.
Any thoughts on what would cause this?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is. I realized after posting the first time, that I'd assigned the question to the Visio forum. I wasn't sure how to reassign to the correct (Excel) forum, so I re-posted over there:

    Hi Eric,
    >>but it seems that by extending the table itself to encompass both the SharePoint-sourced columns and the additional columns, that an association would be created between all columns for a given row in the table, no?<<
    From my understanding, the answer is no.
    Another example:
    I have an additional column named "Column2" and an external column named "ID" (see "before").
    After I add a new record and refresh this table, Excel will keep the last row in "column2" and add an empty cell in the second last row. (See "After")
    If I delete the eighth data and refresh this table, Excel will still keep the last row and remove the last second cell.
    In your case, if you insert a new record in the middle of the data and refresh this table, Excel will synchronized the external data and add a new cell in the additional column in the second last row.
    From my understanding, Excel will always change the second last row to suit for deleting or adding record.
    Hope this helps.

  • Moving tables with data from one client to another

    Hello friends
    I have 2 clients 001 and 002.
    I have created a table with lots of data on client 001.
    I have to get the same table on 002 also with the same data.
    Is there an easier way of transfering this data from one table to another?
    I would appreciate any feedback on this.
    I know that mappings etc., can be done using the export and import of tpz file. So I want to know if there is any similar thing to transfer a table with data.
    THanks
    Ram

    If you do not have the client field in your table, then the table is cross-client.
    IF you have the client field filled with 001, then you need to create the same entries with client 002, I dont think that you can do this with a transport.
    You have to write an ABAP that reads and writes the data.

  • Populate SQL table with data from Oracle DB in ODI

    Hi,
    I am trying to populate a source SQL table with fields from an Oracle db in ODI. I am trying to perform this using a procedure and I am am getting the following error:
    ODI-1226: Step PROC_1_Contract_Sls_Person_Lookup fails after 1 attempt(s).
    ODI-1232: Procedure PROC_1_Contract_Sls_Person_Lookup execution fails.
    ODI-1228: Task PROC_1_Contract_Sls_Person_Lookup (Procedure) fails on the target MICROSOFT_SQL_SERVER connection Phys_HypCMSDatamart.
    Caused By: weblogic.jdbc.sqlserverbase.ddc: [FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'C2C_APP.CON_V'.
    My question is what is the best method to populate SQL db with data from an Oracle db? Using a procedure? A specific LKM?
    I found threads referring to using an LKM to populate Oracle tables with data from a SQL table....but nothing for the opposite.
    Any information would help.
    thanks,
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    If using an Interface, I would recommend the LKM SQL to MSSQL (BULK) knowledge module. This will unload the data from Oracle into a file, then bulk load the staging db on the target using a BULK INSERT.

  • Help on export sybase iq tables with data and import in another database ?

    Help on export Sybase iq 16 tables with data and import into another database ?

    Hi Nilesh,
    If you have table/index create commands (DDLs), you can create them in Developper and import data using one of methods below
    Extract/ Load table
    Insert location method : require IQ servers to be entered in interfaces file
    Backup/Restore : copy entire database content
    If you have not the DDLs, you can generate them using IQ cockpit or SCC.

    hi
    thanks for the response
    We are working on a sandbox system for demo purpose.
    Actually we have two different group of people using two different clients created on the same server.
    Our group is using client 001 and another group is using client 002.
    We don't want the changes that one group does to the table to affect the other.
    Our group has created a z-table and have entered considerable amount of data.
    However, the other group also need to create the same table with the same data.
    So to avoid double work, we were trying to see if there is a way to copy the table with data created on 001 to 002.
    Any suggestions / feedback will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to pass internal table with data in ABAP OO

    Hi experts ,
    Here is the problem...
    I create a screen 100 and use the internal table to get data from database, and then press the button on screen 100 , it will call screen 200.
    I use ABAP OO code in screen 200, and i want to keep the internal table with data that i get from the sceen 100 parts, but it seems that it just supports to create a new internal table and get data from database in ABAP OO. That means i need to create a new table to save the data in internal table ? Or there is any other solution something like exporting or memory id ...
    ps . the internal table in screen 100 is declared in global area, the beginning of the code.
    Please give me some advice, thanks a lot!
    Regards ,
    Claire

    I have already know how to do, here is my code:
    METHODS fill_tree importing itab2 like itab1.
    CALL METHOD: me->fill_tree exporting itab2 = itab1.
    In METHOD fill_tree,
    declare
    data: itab3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itab,
    itab3[] = itab1[].
    It is useful to me, thanks a lot.

  • Trying to populate a table with data from WebRowset

    Hi,
    I want to be able to populate my tables with data from WebRowsets that have been saved to files. Everything goes good until I get to acceptChanges(). At which point I get a NullPointerException.
    Here's the code...
    WebRowSet wrs = new WebRowSetImpl();
    FileReader reader = new FileReader(inputFile);
    wrs.readXml(reader);
    wrs.beforeFirst();
    CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
    crs.setSyncProvider("com.sun.rowset.providers.RIXMLProvider");
    crs.populate(wrs);
    crs.beforeFirst();
    crs.acceptChanges(con);
    Results in...
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl.acceptChanges(CachedRowSetImpl.java:867)
    at com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl.acceptChanges(CachedRowSetImpl.java:919)
    I'm using Java 1.5_02. I looked at the source code for CachedRowSetImpl, and the only thing I could think of is that maybe "provider.getRowSetWriter()" in the following snippet is returning null....
    public void setSyncProvider(String s)
    throws SQLException
    provider = SyncFactory.getInstance(s);
    rowSetReader = provider.getRowSetReader();
    rowSetWriter = (TransactionalWriter)provider.getRowSetWriter();
    Any ideas?? Thanks!

    I have the same problem after setting com.sun.rowset.providers.RIXMLProvider.
    Looks like a bug to me.
    By the way, why are you creating a new CachedRowSet and populate it with a WebRowset (which extends CachedRowSet)?

  • Using expdp to export a mix of tables with data and tables without data

    Hi,
    I would like to create a .dmp file using expdp, exporting a set of tables with data and another set without data. Is there a way to do this in a single .dmp file? For example, I want all the tables in a schema with data, but for the fact tables in that schema, I only want the fact table objects, not the data. I thought it might be easier to create two separate .dmp files, one for each scenario, but would be nice to have one .dmp file that satisfies my requirement. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Rodolfo
    Edited by: user6902559 on May 11, 2010 12:05 PM

    You could do this with where clauses. Let's say you have 10 tables to export, 5 with data and 5 without data. I would do it like this
    tab1_w_data
    tab2_w_data
    tab3_w_data
    tab4_w_data
    tab5_w_data
    tab1_wo_data
    tab2_wo_data
    tab3_wo_data
    tab4_wo_data
    tab5_wo_data
    I would make one generic query
    query="where rownum = 0"
    and I would make 5 specific queries
    query=tab1_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
    query=tab2_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
    query=tab3_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
    query=tab4_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
    query=tab5_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
    The first query will be applied to all tables that don't have their own specific query and it will export no rows, the next 5 will apply to each of the corresponding table.

  • What is the best wayt to copy tables with data from development to Prod?

    Dear all,
    We have Oracle tables with data in a development server, I would like to know if there is any ‘easy’ and ‘direct’ way to copy them to the production server.
    As I think import and export would be the best way. Any other althernatives?
    Thanks.

    There are a number of methods you could use.
    <ul><li>
    Export and import would work or their 10g+ equivalents data pump. </li>
    <li>You could create a database link between the 2 databases and use SQL*Plus copy to transfer data on a table by table basis (probably quite laborious unless there's only a few tables). </li>
    <li>You could use transportable tablespaces (there are some restirctions - check the documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10595/tspaces013.htm#sthref1632) </li>
    <li>You could use RMAN to clone the development database (assuming the prod database hasn't been used yet and that there's nothing in it you need to keep).</li>
    <li>You could create the prod database as a standby copy of the dev database </li>
    </ul>
    Using transportable tablespaces would be much faster than using data pump or import/export depending on how much data there is.

  • Fill a table with data coming from an RFC

    Hello everyone:
    I've followed the Weblog "How many lines of java code did i write for a simple Web Dynpro?"
    /people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2004/10/17/how-many-lines-of-java-code-did-i-write-for-a-simple-web-dynpro
    I've called an RFC and created a table with data coming from it (which is also a table). My question is, if in this table there's a field named "UserType" there are two possible values for this field:
    "userA"
    "userB"
    How can I get the table only show me the "userA" registers? The RFC does return all of the users, but when filling the table, can I put an if-else somewhere on my code?
    Thanks a lot
    Alejandro

    Hi Alejandro,
    Referring to the link provided "The logic of the filter process is not implemented in Web Dynpro. The application developer must implement the action to be executed."
    We would have to implement the action onFilter in the controller implementation. Ideally, we fill the data retrieved from backend into a List (java.util.List) (this could be done on init of view) and then subset the list after meeting the criteria in the action handler(say
    onActionFilterData(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent).
    Having done this, you may bind the output list back to the node (shown in table)
