Expoer of web reports to excel(office 2007)

Hi gurus,
for export of webreports to excel (office 2007) the german characters correctly assumed why
i wil great appreciate to you giving your immediate response.

Hi,
I received a response from Metalink. We are using an old version of Discoverer (10.1.2.48.18) and need to install patches to fix different excel bugs that were identified.
Our DBA is out right now so I am not sure when that will be done. In either case, it seems that is the problem. I will, of course, test the issue whenever the patches are installed.
Thank you.

XL-Reporter 2005 PL29 - Office 2007

Hi fellows,
I read many postings in this forum which stated that XLR 2005 PL29 does NOT run with MS Excel 2007.
In the posting <XL Reporter with Office 7> by Irina Stanca from Sep. 9. 2007 I found a reply from Mr. Owen Slater which stated that XLR PL29 DOES RUN with MS Excel 2007.
I myself WAS NOT ABLE to install XLR 2005 PL29 with MS Excel 2007 (based on SAP 2005A SP01 PL26)! The error message was <Excel has to be installed. Cannot find Excel.>
At SAP I only could find contradicting information:
1. On the XLR information page: ... XL Reporter currently supports Office 2007 only within the SAP Business One 2005 track.
2. On the download/update page for XLR PL29: XL Reporter currently supports only Office 2003.
Is there any common understanding if or if not XLR is running with Excel 2007?
Maybe there are special settings you have to obey when installing XLR with Excel 2007?
Thank you for any help!
Regards,
Frank Romeni

Btw, you must explain here whether you are using SP00 or SP01 of SAP B1 2005A. The standard and professional edition of MS.office 2007 are compatible or match with XL reporter requirement.

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

Broad casting Webi report in excel format to different users email ids

Hello,
Seriously looking for the help, please help with the solution for below scenario.
We have a requirement to schedule broadcasting of Webi reports to users email in excel format from infoview. But our concern is how the system takes care of authorizations of users when we broadcast the report to their mail id as excel file.
For example we have one webi report for Finance and there are thousands of users for each department, cost centre etcu2026so how to broadcast the same webi report in excel to different users with only data they have authorized to see. We have committed to client that we can do this with out much massive overhead, please advise what is the easiest way to achieve this. I read something like this can be done using authorization profiles in CMS but creating those many profiles and mapping them to relevant authorizations is not possible as there are thousands of users with different authorization levels. And Client is expecting this broadcasting need to be done automatically with out every time manual intervention.
Looking forward for the prompt reply.
Thanks,
Gani.

Please use the Dynmanic Recipients functionality of the Publication.
For this we need to do follow steps.
1) Create the WebI Report that needs to be published(Broadcasted)
2) create Deski/webi report which contains the user details and email id's for publishing main report.
3) Map the properties of souce report with Dynamic Recipient report.
Please refer the user guide for more inforamtion.This helps you in avoiding manual creation of profiles in CMC.

Siva

Exporting Web Report to Excel - SAPBW_DOWNLOAD

When exporting a web report to excel it uses the embedded SAPBW_DOWNLOAD template. Is it possible to use and assign a seperate template like the one I'm currently using for Workbooks.
--KAL

Hi,
I don't understand what do you mean here. Do you mean we could not reduce size in the first time? We have exactly the same problem and the file size is about 20-40 MB. This size is too big to download by end user. It's excel file with .xls extension. When I open it by Excel and then try to Save As, it try to save as Web Page with *.htm extension. If I resave as a Excel Workbook format, the size is reduced to 3-4 MB. My question is the same as the other folk, how do I save it as Excel format with proper size the first time?
Thanks,

Exporting a web report to Excel

Hi,
When I export a web report to Excel, it works fine. when I resave the same file as .xls file, the excel file size is reduced drastically (less than 1/10).
Why is this happening? Any way to reduce the file size in the first stage, that is down loading to Excel from web.
Thanks
Unni

Generating webi report from excel sheet.

Hi to all.
can I generate the web intelligence report by excel sheets in info view,if yes how can I generate them or any alternative solution exist to this..
please reply
thanks in advance

Hi Rajat,
Starting from BOXI R3.0 version, Rich client is used for accessing WebI reports other than Infoview. i.e. Similar to Desk top intelligence, it can be installed in any local machine and using it we can access WebI reports.
If you don't have Rich client then install it in your pc, then start creating WebI reports from excel using Rich client.
Navigation: Open rich client -> select local source(browse to your doucment i.e excel sheet) -> select required tab in excel(for the report) -> ok
Cheers,

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards
Ali Touzlatzi

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Downloading web reports to excel

When down loading a BW web report to excel using the right click enhanced menu - download to MS excel we sometimes get asked to log onto the BW server again, this doesn't happen on all web reports only some. Why is this, is that a setting we can change so we can turn this off??
we are running BW 3.5

Web Location URLs for Office 2007 documents (pptx, xlsx, docx) not working

In our current Content Server solution implemented, each content has a Web Location URL and a Native File associated with it. The Web Location URL(for a content in Public security group) is of the following format:
http://ucmurl/groups/public/intranetcontent/CONTENT_ID.doc
So far when a user clicks on this link, they are just presented with an 'Open' 'Save' dialog box, which clearly shows that UCM identifies this file format. So for a Word 2003 document called test.doc, the Open-Save dialog box says:
Name: test.doc
Type: Microsoft Word document..etc.
The behaviour is the same for all Office 2003 documents, pdfs and images. However, it seems like UCM does not identify Office 2007 documents. When I check-in a content - test.pptx, and click on the Web Location URL, it prompts me to Open/Save a 'ZIP' file, which is what UCM does for any unidentified file formats.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
The file formats under configuration manager have been updated to include the following formats with PASSTHRU conversion (since we dont need any conversion on these):
pptx: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
docx: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
xlsx: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
The desired functionality is that when the user clicks on web location url, UCM should identify these file formats, and NOT consider them as ZIP files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try these - if you're using IIS. If not, them something similar should fix.
Update IIS to include additional MIME types
Also, if you want to add all of the Microsoft Office 2007 mime-types to IIS in one step you can do this:
1. Stop IIS
2. Edit the metabase XML file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml) using a text editor.
3. Search for the <IIsMimeMap Location="/LM/MimeMap" â€¦> element and append the lines below to the MimeMap attribute
.docm,application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12
.docx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
.dotm,application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12
.dotx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template
.potm,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12
.potx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template
.ppam,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12
.ppsm,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12
.ppsx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow
.pptm,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12
.pptx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
.xlam,application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12
.xlsb,application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12
.xlsm,application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12
.xlsx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
.xltm,application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12
.xltx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template
4. Save the C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml file
5. Start IIS
6. Perform Collection Rebuild on Content Server
