.exe reading from Excel files

Hi everybody,
I know similar questions have been asked lots of times but while searching the forum didn't find an anwer to my problem.
I created an exe file (using exe4j) of a java application which reads form Excel files. Although it works when I run it from my editor, when running the exe file it cant find the Excel file. More specifically I have this error:
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
In order to read from excel files I use POI. I used it so as not to use ODBC driver and make it possible to run in every computer. When adding the driver, the exe works.Do you know a way to make it work without having to install the Driver?
Thanks in Advance

You need database drivers to read excel spread sheets?
Also, why did you make it an exe? just jar it and be done with it.

Error in reading from excel file

hi,
I have written a program which reads from excel file

Everything is fine but when i run it, it produces an error message

Here is the code and i hope someone can help me to find the solution

                           Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
                           Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:odbc:exceltest" );

                                       System.err.print("Exception: ");
                                       System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
                             }

Maybe 851.0 is float value, not string.
Try Object columnValue1 =
rs.getObject(i); instead of String
columnValue1 = rs.getString(i);
You are absolutely right i actually change the line
custNo =Integer.parseInt(columnValue1);
into
custNo =Double.parseDouble(columnValue1);
Thanks alot :)

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
     * @param args [0] = source filename

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length != 2) {
            System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
            System.exit(1);
        File in = new File(args[0]);
        long fileLength = in.length();

        FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
        FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
        fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
        fis.close();

Store data in mysql after reading from excel files

i am trying to make o program where i will read the data from excel files and i will store them in a database. I am using eclipse as editor and mySQL. I am using APACHE POI to read the excel files and JDBC for the connection. The excel files have the structure as shown below:
ID NAME SALARY STREET
321 TIM 1254 14 avenue
121 PAUL 1265 28h oktovriou
432 NICK 4521 papaflessa
I have of course plenty of such files which contains many more rows and columns. The purpose of my program is to read the data, create table named as the name of the excel file and the fields of each table to be the first rows of the excel file. Afterwards the values will be the rest data of the excel file. In the code below i have managed to read them, show the data in the console. Afterwrds i am trying to call a database with JDBC but there i have problem when i create the table.
try
String[] allFields;
String createTableStr = "CREATE TABLE" + createTableStr
+ "(" + org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils.join(allFields,
",") + ")";
Could anyone help me?
Thank you in advance!:)

Read from excel file stops at column 5(E) returns error at data variant function

hi,
i am read an excel file approx 15 rows by 16 rows.
The vi works fine upto 5 rows and 5 columns and prints data on front panel after using data variant.
The Cell range are also seems to be correct for higher rows/columns but then the errors occurs at data variant to 2d dbl stage.
Any idea what might be wrong in the vi
Thanks
chintan

Thanks for the reply.
I found out what was wrong the data types should be the string type and i was using DBL.

Read from Excel file in SP2013

Hi,
I have a requirement to read data from a formatted Excel file which is located in a document library, and put the contents in a List via code. This functionality should check - if he record exists update the list item, if not create a new list
item.
I have installed the PIA assemblies and have referenced the excel iterop services dll from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office15\Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll
I am trying to use the excel interop services but getting the below error :

List docList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("MDRDocuments");

int rowCount = xlRange.Rows.Count;
int colCount = xlRange.Columns.Count;
for (int i = 1; i <= rowCount; i++)
for (int j = 1; j <= colCount; j++)
lblExcel.Text = xlRange.Cells[i, j].Value2.ToString();
Error 1 at the above highlighted section of the code - One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing a reference?

You might want to look at Excel Services and use the .../_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee556820.ASPX
This will allow an ajax call in the browser or web request to return Xml. To ease access to content within Excel file setup Named Ranges. http://development002/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/MDRDocuments/c.xlsx/model/Ranges('MyNamedRange')
Hope this helps.
If looking to access Excel server-side use the OpenXML API, but avoid
accessing the physical hard drive; put the Excel document in SharePoint.

Problem in reading from excel file with my requirement

Hi,
Below is my input excel file format
A    XXX
B    XXX
C    XXX
D    E   F   G H I    J K L M N
XX   XX XX XX.........................XX
All the A...N are headings and XX's are values.
How should I define an internal table for this requirement. I am using FM TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP to read input file.
Please let me know the correct way to define internal table for the above file format.
Regards,
Cheritha

Hello Cheritha,
Your final internal table(t_final) should have all the fields viz. A, B, C, D etc.
You need to read the file to an internal table say t_data. In the internal table t_data, the field values will be each row in this internal table.
So you need to loop on t_data and based on the field name assign it to the corresponding field in the internal table t_final.
Hope this is clear if any clarification please do reply

Im afraid to erase it and not being able to get it back...

If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

How to retrieve data from a read-only Excel file

Hi Developers,
I'm trying to retrieve data from a read-only Excel file. I used the same code that I used to retrieve data from a normal Excel file, but it can't work.

Hi,
You are trying to read file wrong way. In the tutorial of Java Excel Api: "JExcelApi can read an Excel spreadsheet from a file stored on the local filesystem or from some input stream.". You are trying to read from file system. So you must get file input stream then you can read it. Please search forums KM file read.

Reading long text from excel file to an internal table

Hi
Can any body tell me how to read long text from excel file to an internal table.
When i am using this FM KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT then it is reading only 32 characters from each cell.
But in my excel sheet in one of the cell has very long text which i need to upload into a internal table.
may i know which FM or what logic i need to use for this problem.
Regards

Hi,
Here is an example program. It will upload an Excel file with two columns. You could also assign the Excel structure dynamically, but I wanted to keep the example simple. The main point is that the internal table (it_excel in this example) must match the Excel structure that you want to convert.
Remember, this is just an example to help you figure out how to properly use the technique. It will certainly need to be modified to fit your requirements, and as always there may be a better way to get the Excel converted... this is just one possibility that has worked for me in the past.
