Excel XML map problem with numbers.

Hi Xcelsius gurus,
Once again i need your help.
I use Excel XML maps to get data into my embedded spreadsheet, my data are current year sales per month like below:
115.450,36
220.336,20
189.222,56
200.005,48
just numbers.
After inserting the xml data i am not able to use them. No chart, No list, No gause can present my data. Like there is no data.
I realised that after mapping the XML, spreadsheet's cells showing an error, when i click on error icon there is an option to convert data to number, that fix the problem.
What could i do to solve this issue? Is there any problem with my XML file?
Pease help me with this one, i am confused.

Hi:
   what is your xml file format?
   you can try some ordinary xml format instead, here is a example:
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

  • Excel XML map problem with Greek characters.

    Hi,
    I created a dashboard with XML map connetion. My embeded spreadsheet is linked to an xml file which contains my TOP 50 Customers.
    Customers names are in Greek so my xml Header is like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>
    ISO-8859-7 is the Greek encoding for xml.
    After embeding the spreadsheet into the dashboard i add a list component to present my TOP 50 Customers.
    So far so good.
    Then i add a refresh conection button to update my TOP 50 list. In preview mode everythinng works fine. But when i try to update my data by clicking the refresh button my list is updated but the customers names is turned to unidentified characters.
    Is there any encoding problem or this is Xcelsius issue?
    I use Xcelsius 2008 sp3 fp 3.2

    You are right.
    I opened the XML file with notepad and saved it with utf-8 encode, also changed the xml tag to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and it worked fine.
    I map it in Excel Spreadsheet without problems and after refreshing in Xcelsius the characters are diplayed normaly.
    So, correct me if i am wrong, the problem is the file encoding, no the xml encoding.
    Both, file and xml encoding should be UTF-8.
    As i mentioned before my xml files are Crystal Report 2008 reports which are exported as text files with .xml extension, so i have to look for answers in other forum.
    thank you

  • Excel XML Maps Problem

    When I import a Excel 2003 XLS file with a Excel 2003 XML map defined I can see the data update if I use the refresh buttom on the spreadsheet pane of Xcelsius 2008 but nothing happens when I export the file as a SWF no matter what I set the refresh properties to?
    Also when I bring up the Data > Connections Menu and try to ADD <Excel XML Maps> I do not get a dialog box on the right?  The <Excel XML Maps> shows as an Existing Connection but does no show any information in the right panel?
    Hope someone can help!
    Tom Ebert

    Thanks guys for your responces.
    Here is what I learned.  Xcelsius 2008 does indeed supports Web Services.  When I was exporting my Excel spreadsheets as XML and trying to refer to it in my SWF file it seems that the Excel XML file does not have the required mapping / schema.
    Soooooooo I'm going to work with a friend who actuall understands Web Services and XML.
    Thanks again for your reply...te

  • Xcelsius 2008 with Excel XML Maps and Excel 2007

    Hi guys,
    I'm getting great results with the Excel Xml maps feature,
    the problem is we upgraded to Excel 2007 and now Xcelsius can't seem to find the Xml Map connections any more.
    I did some testing, it seems that an XML connection created in Excel 2003 works fine, but Xcelsius just doesn't see any connection created with Excel 2007.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Roy

    Mark,
    It seems like that may have been something to look into prior to purchasing the product. You're a creative guy though, try to work around with the Excel sheet in the backend. I'm sure you can manage what you need with only one connection.
    The key to being an Xcelsius expert is to know how to work around any problem.
    Do you need this to be live data? If not, you could try the Excel -> Import External Data function.
    I hope that helps!
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Mapping problem with compressed key update record

    Hi, could you please advise?
    I'm getting the following problem:
    About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
    filed1 = NULL
    field2 =
    field3 =
    field4 =
    field5 =
    datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
    field6 =
    field8 =
    field9 = NULL
    field10 =
    Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
    So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
    I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files. To increase the number of retries, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryCount = n) in Extract parameter file. To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
    I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
    Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
    If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
    But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
    I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
    I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
    CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
    Could you please advise why does it happen?

    Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

    Regards,

    The SCRP_CODE column has a NOT NULL constraint. The ORA-01407 error is telling you that you cannot update or set a value for this column to null because of the constraint. This has absolutely nothing to do with an index. You can use a marker/sentinel value in lieu of using NULL. For a numeric field, where everything is positive, a negative value (-1) can be decoded as meaning null. For a character field, a code such as NA can represent NULL.
    This also has nothing to do (directly) with GoldenGate failing because of this error. The underlying SQL statement will fail everywhere, regardless of the tool or application. It is not a case of failing only in GoldenGate.

  • Oracle SID Problems with numbers

    Hi everybody,
    I created a new database (ORACLE 10g) with the SID name IC71 and the same global database name. After finishing the configuration and starting the database everything worked fine.
    Now I installed the Oracle Client on another server machine. I made an entry in the tnsnames.ora with the Servicename IC71 and it worked. The problem now is, that I have to give the SID instead of the Servicename for installing some software. With the SID IC71 it does not work, after I changed the SID to IC it works.
    Can someone explain me this strange settings? Has Oracle problems with numbers in the SID name?

    Has Oracle problems with numbers in the SID name?Not at all. I often use numbers in SIDs, and I've never had problems with that. Your problem has to be elsewhere.
    With the SID IC71 it does not workWhich error do you get ?

  • ExcelXML mapping---problem with XML maps in Excel sheet

    Hi Friends,
    I have one issue with ExcelXML mapping in Xcelsius.
    The problem is I have designed one dashboard using ExcelXML mapping and everything is working fine but I was afraid that  I could not able to find the mappings which were embedded in Excel.It happened many times.What I was doing is everytime Im re-mapping.I could be a big problem for me to do this procedire for everytime.How to recover my XML maps into excel sheet.Can anyone please provide the solution to achieve this.

    Shouldnt it be equivalent ? I mean, as far as I know the ns0: shouldnt be a problem
    when you have a namespace in the message then you need to associate it with some prefix....since ns0 (or any other prefix) is not present you are getting the error....having the namespace but not ns0 is the problem.
    XMLAnonymizer bean may help you to add the namespace prefix...

    This seems to be a slightly obscure question -- at least, I can't find a ready answer for it with the search terms I've tried, possibly because most people don't use this particular accessory with the iPhone.
    I have an iPhone 4 that I bought from and use on Softbank, the carrier in Japan, where I live.  While visiting the United States recently, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard from an Apple retailer.   I wanted to carry it with me for use with my iPhone, so I would reliably have a convenient way to access the Internet without being confined to the touchscreen keyboard.  (I live in a rural area where WiFi spots are uncommon, but my iPhone's access to Softbank's data network is fairly good and consistent.)
    However, to my frustration, I can't use the keyboard due to a mapping problem.  The Bluetooth connection is fine -- the iPhone can discover the keyboard.  However, the mapping is off: typing "Q" gets me "A," typing "Z" gets me "W", numbers and punctuation are off, etc.  The key point: This is NOT a problem with the International Keyboard settings (under the Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards menu).  I have the Keyboard setting set to QWERTY, which is the layout of the Apple keyboard; I have tried all the other possibilities, just in case.  None of them work.  Setting the Keyboard setting to QWERTY does not make the external QWERTY keyboard map correctly.
    The rather ironic addendum is this: While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I visited the Apple store in Shibuya and, after concluding the main business of my visit (discussing my MacBook's battery problems with an English-speaking staffer), I took out my iPhone and keyboard and asked him about my mapping problem.  He started with the Keyboard menu, tried the same things I had tried, realized they weren't working, and puzzled over the problem for a while.  Then he did this: He hit a key combination (I believe) that brought up a menu on the iPhone's screen.  "Ah, there's your problem," he said, and selected a new setting.  The problem was instantly fixed.
    To my chagrin, however, I neglected to write down what "Ken" had done to fix the problem.  Argh... I was looking at the iPhone upside-down; I'd already taken up more than half an hour; people were waiting, and I guess, being used to living in the countryside now, that I'm not used to Shibuya crowds any more.  Anyway, I didn't take careful notes or ask him to walk me through it, and now I cannot recall or repeat what he did.  And I still can't use my keyboard!
    Any ideas or advice, anyone?  How did "Ken" fix my problem, and how can I repeat it?  Much, much appreciated, in advance.

    THAT'S IT.  Sir, you have solved my problem.  Thank you!!
    And I feel a little silly; this will doubtless seem to an expert as if it should have been obvious all along.  But isn't that always the way in hindsight?
    Here's what happened: The key combination I was trying to remember was "Apple/command + space on the hardware keyboard," as you just said above.  The "menu" it brings up is, apparently, a list of keyboards.  I take it that this list is the same as the list of the "virtual" keyboards on the iPhone?  I have never had more than one external keyboard -- the Apple Wireless -- but I do have several keyboards active virtually, as the iPhone in Japan seems to come with both the "Nihongo Ten-key" and the "Nihongo Romaji" keyboards active, and I added several other languages as well.
    When I hit "Apple/command + space," this list comes up on the iPhone's touchscreen.  Highlighted and checked at the top is "English," just as if it had been selected all along.  But nonetheless, when I first turn on and pair my keyboard with the iPhone, I need to perform this key-combination action, as if to "reselect" English, and then the keyboard promptly starts working properly as QWERTY.  I can only assume that one of the others had been default-selected before -- presumably one of the Nihongo ones? -- and that this was causing the interference.
    Thank you again!  You have made me and my wireless keyboard very happy.

  • XSLT Mapping - problem with prefixes when calling template

    Hi all,
    I am having a problem with using an XSLT mapping in XI to combine various fields from 2 input messages of different structures into a single output message.  I understand that XI puts a wrapper around the 2 input messages so the structure of the XML I am mapping is:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns2:Messages xmlns:ns2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
    <ns2:Message1>
    <ns:(root of first message)>
    </ns:(root of first message)>
    </ns2:Message1>
    <ns2:Message2>
    <ns:(root of second message)>
    </ns: (root of second message)>
    </ns2:Message2>
    </ns2:Messages>
    Currently my XSL looks like the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns="http://example.co.uk/example" xmlns:ns2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge" xmlns:javamap="java:systemDate.CurrentDate" version="2.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"/>
    <xsl:param name="inputparam"/>
    <xsl:template match="ns2:Messages">
    ...<xsl:calltemplate name="FormattingTemplate"/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template name="FormattingTemplate">
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    When I test the mapping it works fine until it calls the FormattingTemplate.  Then it throws out a "transformer exception" error saying the prefix 'ns2' is not mapped to a namespace.
    If anyone could tell me where I am going wrong I would be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Udo,
    Thanks for your reply.
    When testing the stylesheet locally with XMLSpy, it works fine, but I have just noticed that it adds information in the root tag of the target message as follows:
    <(root of target message) xmlns:javamap="java:systemDate.CurrentDate" xmlns:ns="http://example.co.uk/example" xmlns:ns2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
    I checked the root tag of the target message in XI and it does not automatically add this information. Thus I added it in my stylesheet so the information above is projected in the target message, but the same error message appears when the call template function is called.  Do you know if I need to somehow add a namespace to templates other than the main one? If so, do you know how I go about doing that?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Port Mapping Problem with AEX

    I have a new Airport Extreme and a problem that did not exist with the Airport. I connect a Toshiba network camera to an Airport Express, set as a WDS remote, with the netcam connected to the wired ethernet port of the Express. I can see the netcam, which also functions as a web server, on the internal 10.x.x.x address, and have reserved a discrete 10.x.x.x address via the MAC/DHCP reservation function of the Extreme. Just like the older Airport which did this without a hiccup, I should be able to map a port (e.g. 1200) on the public IP to port 80 of the internal 10.x.x.x address, then access the netcam on the internal network from any browser (http://67.x.x.x:1200). My cable modem is just that: no router involved other than the Airport Extreme. I'm using the latest Extreme and Express firmware, and am either missing something with the new Leopard firewall, overlooking something else, or dealing with a product flaw. Any help is appreciated and Happy Holidays.

    I have forwarded the port (have tried several different ports actually) in what I think it the correct way: using the Airport Utility, connected to the Airport Extreme, and, under advanced options, selected port mapping, entered the public TCP port of 1200, then the private 10.x.x.x IP address of the netcam (which I can access from the internal network with no problem), coupled with the private TCP port of 80. I then attempt to access the netcam from the Internet by entering http://my cable modem IP address:1200 (or another port to which I've attempted to map). This method worked for two years with the Airport, but, with the Extreme and Leopard (simultaneous transition), I'm stumped. After reading other about other port mapping problems, I reserved an IP address for the netcam based on its MAC with no positive results. I also set the firewall through the Security icon in System Preferences to allow all incoming connections. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

  • Maps Problem with Glitchy Map Display

    I've been having a problem with Maps recently. Lately, I've been scrolling across maps and very (very) often I would have a really glitchy layout that looks like this:
    http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/442/mapsproblemrr6.png
    This occurs on both 3G and WiFi wireless networks.
    I've tried rebooting the phone (holding down power button and sliding the slider) and resetting my network settings already.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    Zanneth-,
    Does the map ever come into focus, or does it remain distorted? Does this issue occur when using different geographical searches? If so, I would try resetting all settings and then a restore, setting the iPhone up as a new phone.
    You could also test installing Google Earth for the iPhone (available on the app store) to see if the same issue occurs as well.

  • Txt to xml. Problems with characters(&, , ',...)

    I want to generate a xml file with text from a txt file but i have problems with special characters such as &, <... I'd like to know if there�s any class or library to filter the text in order to generate my xml without problems.
    Thank you.

    Use JDOM to generate your XML. It will worry about escaping issues for you.
    Here's a (probably rather inelegant) example for you to play around with:
    import javax.xml.parsers.*;
    import javax.xml.transform.*;
    import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
    import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
    import org.w3c.dom.*;
    public class DateBoom {
         public static void main(String[] args)
              throws Exception
              DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
              DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
              String dodgyText = "< & '";
              Document document = builder.newDocument();
              Element root = document.createElement("root");
              root.setAttribute("dodgy",dodgyText);
              document.appendChild(root);
              Element child = document.createElement("child");
              root.appendChild(child);
              child.appendChild(document.createTextNode(dodgyText));
              Transformer transform = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();          
              Source source = new DOMSource(document);
              Result result = new StreamResult(System.out);
              transform.transform(source,result);
    }Your alternative is to use something like String regular expressions (regex) to do this manually, but the XML oriented libraries will catch more corner cases than you're likely to anticipate, making them more reliable.
