Export large field to Excel

I'm attempting to export large field defined as 4000 characters(but not always this size) to Excel. I'm not using the builtin export. I'm using custom csv export. The problem I have is trying to keep the formatting(cr return, line feeds) when data is in excel.

You may want to look at using XML Publisher to create an export to Excel. Perhaps someone else has a good way to do it natively in APEX. In any case you can do some fancy stuff with XML Publisher.

  • How to export hidden field to Excel (CSV)

    Hi,
    I would like to export my report to Excel. There are some hidden fields (lat modification date of the record, primary key column etc.) that are not displayed on the screen but the user would like to have it in the export output.
    Can I persuade Apex to export not only displayed items to the CSV file? Currently Apex seems to ignore all report columns that are not displayed.
    Tamas

    Hi Shijesh,
    I have an interactive report column that I do not want to be part of my csv export.
    Is there a way I can do that similar to your reply below .
    I tried this :
    apex_application.g_excel_format = FALSE thinking that it would show up on the report but not be included in the export but it did not work.
    Sorry to bump it in this post but I started a new post but haven't found any reply.
    Also are these documented somewhere for reference ?
    Thanks,

    I believe it is a timeout problem. Any idea how work around this?
    Thanks,

    I don't have the right to create reports. With those datas, I need grouping them filtering them, commenting them, creating TCD and distributing it. I believe it is easier exporting it and handle it. Also I don't want the data changing from day to day.
    Then you are foobar'ed.
    there is nothing more you can do it the SSRS export feature is not working for you, and you don't have access to the CM12 db and you can't create report. There are no other option to access the data.

    Thank you Andrew for getting back to me and I have found somewhere on the net the following macro that would do the job for the version 2007. Here is a copy for those that may need it.

  • Export PDP of (Project Fields) to excel

    Hi ,
    How do I export PDP of (Project Fields) to excel.
    I am using project server 2013.
    Thanks,
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit,
    Indeed we'd need to have more information. Do you want to export the list of the custom fields on a PDP? With ou without the values? Or do you want to have the list of values of a PDP's custom fields?
    Is it a "one-shot" need which could be addressed manually or it is a recurring need that requires a report?
    Just selecting the fields in the PDP in read-only mode and doing a copy-paste in Excel will give you the custom fields with the values selected in the PDP.
    Hope this helps,

  • During export from Discover to Excel, Time Format changes to Number Format

    Hi
    I have a seconds column which is of number datatype. But in my report, I am converting the number in *0HH:MI:SS* format. For example, I have *4952534 seconds*. So my report is showing *1375:42:14* which is a Time Format. It looks good when I view the data in Discoverer Viewer or Plus. But when I try to export the data to Excel, the time format gets converted to *4952534 seconds*, which is creating problems. So can you suggest on how can I preserve the formatting during export to excel from discoverer.
    Thanks
    Sachin

    Hi,
    Excel will not implement the 0HH:MI:SS data format, it just gets the field as a number. You will have to format the field into text using the calculation from my previous post.

  • Error while Exporting large data from Reportviewer on azure hosted website.

    Hi,
    I have website hosted on azure. I used SSRS reportviewer control to showcase my reports. while doing so i faced an issue.
    Whenever i export large amount of data as Excel/PDF/word/tiff it abruptly throw following error:

    It works locally (developer machine) or having less data. But it didn't work with large data when publish on azure.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, let me clarify my questions as they were ambiguous:
    For a given set if input, does the request always take the same amount of time to fail? How long does it take?
    When it works (e.g. on local machine using same input), how big is the output file that gets downloaded?
    Also, if you can share your site name (directly or
    indirectly), and the UTC time where you made an attempt, we may be able to get more info on our side.

  • Exporting form data to excel help

    Hi there,
    I have created an interactive form using Livecycle Designer that comes with Adobe 9 Pro. Forms will be download from a website, completed and emailed back to me. I'm having trouble trying to export  the data to excel. Whilst it lets me export data to excel it does not appear in the logical order as it is on the form. I'm not sure how to fix this and/or if its possible to only have certain fields displayed in excel?
    Is it also possible to automate the process so that data in completed forms that i save will update the inforamtion in excel?
    Any help greatly appreciated, I'm new to forms.
    Windows XP
    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
    Microsoft Excel 2003
    Thanks,
    Ken

    You probably need to ask in the LiveCycle forum since this is a Designer issue I think. If you are doing the export from Acrobat, then list the steps you are using. However, the field order and such are going to be set by Designer.

  • Export line items in excel

    Hello Experts,
    We want to export line items from a contract in SRM adding additional fields in the excel document, this because in description we have the 40 characters limit and our services description is bigger, so we are adding the long description in the NOTE section, but we need to export this to the excel document to add this to the legal contract.
    Is there a way to do it? or any ideas of a workaround?
    I would really appretiate your help
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    why don't you try with  a custom program? Do you want to use standard export button functionality?
    thanks,

  • CR XI R3:  Issue exporting shared variable to Excel - with workaround

    Hi,
    I have a report that uses a subreport to calculate a field based on the existance (or not) of data in a database other than the main report database.  When I use a shared variable to pass this field back to the main report and display it on a detail line (in the main report), it works fine - until I try to export the report to Excel.  When exported, the value that gets exported on all detail lines of the report is the final non-blank value of the shared variable, not the value that it contained when the detail line was initially generated.  I am using a shared variable because there are multiple values that I want to pass back to the main report. 
    Luckily, only one of the shared variables are being printed, so the workaround that I am using is to use the subreport to print the field instead of passing the value back in a shared variable and displaying that (and hiding the subreport on a separate format).
    Is this a known issue with R3 exporting to Excel?  (It was happening in R2 as well...)
    HTH,
    Carl

    Simplified somewhat, what this report is doing is looking up open orders in one database and checking to see if something specific happened to it in another database.  If so, it generates the XML that needs to be applied to the first database to update it.  The XML references the order number and line number.  What I mean is that instead of the data coming out as
    Order Line  XML Snippet
    12345 1234 ...<order>12345</order><line>1234</line><status>received</status>...
    22345 2234 ...<order>22345</order><line>2234</line><status>received</status>...
    32345 3234 ...<order>32345</order><line>3234</line><status>received</status>...
    42345 4234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
    I get
    Order Line  XML Snippet
    12345 1234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
    22345 2234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
    32345 3234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
    42345 4234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
    I have Base Column Widths on Details, so there should be no merging attempted, but I'll check and make sure.
    It seems to me, though, that the DLL is being told the wrong value to export...

  • Download specific output fields to excel

    Hi All,
    We have a report program that downloads an excel file having about 60 output fields. The program has no ALV output.
    Everytime we do not require these 60 fields to be shown in output excel. we need specific output fields in excel and those specific fields could be dynamic.
    Is there any way to download specific output fields in excel as we do in ALV variant.
    In alv,  we can achieve this through a layout variant in selection screen and download the alv output in excel. But we dont require alv to download excel from there.
    Thanks,

  • Export single fields

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to export specific fields (but not necessarily all fields) from an editable PDF form (made in Acrobat X Standard) to specific cells in Excel? (Excel 2010 version)
    Some guidance on how to do it would be appreciated, but at the moment I'm really just trying to confirm if it's even possible.
    Thank you,
    Mark

    It's possible. If you use the doc.exportAsText JavaScript method, you can choose to export just certain fields. This method creates a tab-delimited file that can be imported into a spreadsheet. For more information, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.460.html

  • I am trying to export a PDF to Excel but it just says loading and doesnt go any further?

    When I try to export a PDF to Excel it just saying "loading" it will not go past that am I doing something wrong?

    Hi kymperez2010,
    I'm sure you're doing nothing wrong. Please try the following:
    Clear the browser cache, and log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf
    Make sure that you're using a supported web browser (see System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services).
    Make sure that the file you're trying to convert is 100 MB or smaller (even if you are working with a smaller file, if the PDF has a large number of pages, it may be too complex for the ExportPDF service to convert before timing out.
    Try a different PDF to check whether you're able to convert any PDFs in general.
    Let's start there. Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
