Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

Hi,
I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL
but the Header's Formatting like Bold and Background Color etc are
not being exported as seen in Plus.
Could you please advice on how to make this happen.
Thanks,
VJ

i tried this option..but the problem is as follows
Excel Export:+ The header comes like this
Report Name Company Name Date : 22-APR-10 Page: 1                               
Column1     Column2     Column3     Column4                     Column5                                     Column6                                                     Column7          
122124     9752          7 METRO NORTH     716 MIDWEST REGION     DODGE CITY/ANDERSON TOYOT      LEXUS OF ROCKFORD
122124     9752          7 METRO NORTH     716 MIDWEST REGION     DODGE CITY/ANDERSON TOYOT      LEXUS OF ROCKFORD
122124     9752          7 METRO NORTH     716 MIDWEST REGION     DODGE CITY/ANDERSON TOYOT      LEXUS OF ROCKFORD
HTML Export:+ The header comes like this
Report Name                                 Company Name
Date : 22-APR-10                            Page: 1      
Column1     Column2     Column3     Column4                     Column5                                     Column6                                                     Column7          
122124     9752          7 METRO NORTH     716 MIDWEST REGION     DODGE CITY/ANDERSON TOYOT      LEXUS OF ROCKFORD
122124     9752          7 METRO NORTH     716 MIDWEST REGION     DODGE CITY/ANDERSON TOYOT      LEXUS OF ROCKFORD
i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.
Wheras in EXCEL export it doesnot retain formatting like Bold,etc it merges all the cells of teh first row and is putting it there which is much better to view.
Is there anything we can do about it ??
Thanks

  • How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

    HI, Friends,
    I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
    Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.

    Hi,
    Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
    When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

  • Export to Excel in Discoverer - Is this a Bug ???

    Hi all, thanks for all your helping and sharing thoughts.
    I have one issue when exporting to EXcel:-
    If you create a calculated field in Discoverer and 1 or more of the values used in the calculation has a NULL value, Discoverer will show a NULL value for the calculated field, which is correct. However when the report is exported to Excel, the calculation for this field is done as if the NULL is a zero causing the calculation to be incorrect. For example:
    Ordered_Qty = 20,487
    Contract_Amount = NULL
    Calculation for new field 'Contract_amt_Remaining' is Contract_Amount - Ordered_ Qty = NULL (since you can not subtract something from nothing , ie NULL - 20,487= NULL) this is fine.
    When the new field is exported to Excel the value shows -20,487 as if the Contract_Amt = 0 and not NULL, actually it supposed to show NULL, I don't know why its happening like this.
    can anyone help me on this, that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    skat

    Hi puppethead,
    Thanks for your response,
    Here what I am asking is, calculation working fine in Discoverer Plus lik the difference between 2 items, when it is null ie NULL - 3435= NULL this is working well and good in Disc PLUS, but when we export that worksheet to Excel it is giving as ie NULL-3435 = -3435 instead of NULL.
    so you guys asking me to use CASE statement in Calculation, but this is not with our calculation part right in Disco Plus, coz we are getting correct result, only when we exporting to Excel getting incorrect value thats it.
    Also i tried that CASE statement in calculation, saying syntax error, is that right syntax or not, i used as it is from this post.
    Can you make sure that CASE statement is right or not in the above post, do you want me change anything over there, coz I am getting syntax Error.
    Thanks again and for your helping.

  • Error connecting in Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2

    I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.
    - - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
    OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
    When I run the checkdiscoverer. It works ok in all the checks except for: "Error: Failed to bind to Discoverer Server.
    Hint: Try increasing the timeout by changing the timeout value in opmn.xml.". As the hint said I increased the start timeout, I got it up to 3500 and even incresed the minprocs to see if that helped. Nothing worked.
    I'm testing this in a Windows XP Pro SP2 installed 1GB Ram. I Installed the BI Tools, App server but no infrastructure. The Installation process finished without any problems, except for a warning regarding not being able to determine the IP address. I can access all the options of the app server.

    Hi Christian
    In your connection to the database are you using a DNS named server or are you using an actual IP address?
    By this I mean, when you launch Discoverer, do you do it this way:
    http://servername.domain.com:7777/discoverer/plus
    or this way:
    http://ipaddress:7777/discoverer/plus
    If you are using the former, can you go to the server itself and run Discoverer ok? If you can then it is a case that your local machine cannot work out what the IP address is. Let's say, for arguements sake, that you server is http://myserver.mydomain.com and that the IP is 192.168.1.100
    You could try editing your HOSTS file and inserting a line in there to associate the IP with the domain. To do this, follow this workflow:
    1. Right click on Windows Start button and from pop upmenu select Explore
    2. Navigate to the folder called Windows/system32/drivers/etc
    3. Locate the file called HOSTS
    4. Edit this file with Notepad
    5. Insert a line like this:
    myserver.mydomain.com 192.168.1.100
    6 Save the HOSTS file and exit Explorer
    This associates the IP with the server name.
    Does this help

  • Link from Discoverer (Plus/Viewer) to Reports?

    Is it possible to create a link from a cell on a Discoverer sheet to an Oracle Reports report? I.e. doubleclick on cell value "A" and run report with "A" as parameter?
    Regards,
    -Haakon-

    Access links should be like this.
    Discoverer Plus - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus
    Discoverer Viewer - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer
    <port> default port is 7778.
    Try now.
    Your Administrator is responsible for you to provide the links for both. Check with him.

  • How to export / import workbook by discoverer plus

    Hello
    I have a free document on my downloads page at: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm called Workbook Migration Guidelines. It is a PDF and while it specifically talks about migrating from Discoverer 4i to 10g you could easily use the information inside to export from one EUL to another EUL at the same level using different users. I think you might find this a useful document.
    Rather than export using the command line, in 10g you can use Administrator and export workbooks using selected objects from the database.
    Best wishes

  • How can I export a pages file to a .doc and retain the formatting?

    Every time i have tried the export and save as a copy features the formatting gets screwed up and leaves me with strange page margins and all my spacing is off. I have to submit a double spaced document with 1" page margins. I have tried the double space feature in pages and using a single space format and then physically putting a space in between lines. Either way i end up with a single spaced paper with an extra long and wide page on the .doc save/export. Any tips on how to retain the formatting between pages and word?

    Dylan
    I have emailed back the fixed file and Word Export.
    You had a return after every single line. That is not necessary, it is a Word Processor and will wrap text as needed. Just hit return for the ends of paragraphs.
    You also had extra returns in the Header, I was unsure of what you wanted there so made it double spaced like the rest.
    There is an excellent book "The Mac is not a Typewriter" by Robin Williams, not sure if it is still in print but it is a good read.

  • Discoverer plus drill down looses workbook formatting

    Hi,
    I am having a strange issue with my discoverer workbook. I have created a report with drill down for example
    here is the hierarchy i am trying: [http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/6787/hierarchy.png]
    now on the net sales level I have grouped the region column by selecting "Group Sort" on that column and same on the customer column and net sales column. but the problem happens when i go down to the next level. for example the customer level at this point the grouping of the region goes away and the report looks ugly. so basically it has lines like:
    Net Sales east region cust1
    Net Sales east region cust2
    Net Sales west region cust1
    Net Sales west region cust2
    instead of:
    Net Sales east region cust1
    cust1
    west region cust1
    cust2
    hope that makes sense of my problem. so the group sort just goes away when i drill down. please help

    Hi,
    I tried your suggestion but that didn't work. i still loose formatting when i drill up and then drill back down.

  • Export issue in discoverer plus (10G)

    I'm unable to export the report result into either excel or text file from discoverer plus.
    Error message is "Operation Failed".
    Please help me in resolving this in discoverer 10G.

    Hi, I happened to come across Murali's thread here while searching for something else.
    If anyone is interested, the resolution was MetaLink Note 401600.1 (Exporting To Xls/Cvs/Txt Formats With Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus or Viewer Fails With 'Error Operation Failed').
    It involved deleting dc* files from the temporary directory we have identified for exporting temporary files. The temporary directory was full.
    Once the dc* files were deleted, it resolved the export to XLS from Discoverer Plus issue for us this time.

  • Menu "Export" in Oracle Discoverer Plus 10g

    Hi..
    Is there anyone knows how to hide "Export" menu in OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g ?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Handoko

    I have a T420 Lenovo with dual video card configuration is causing the Discoverer Plus 10g views to not refresh correctly.
    I was able to find a solution to this issue. It requires the following changes in the system BIOS.
    •     In BIOS under Config -> Display ->Change the Graphics Devices to Discrete
    •     In BIOS under Config -> Display ->OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus -> Changed to Disabled
    Now system will only use the Nvidia Card versus the dual card configuration (Nvidia + Intel HD Graphics)
    Discoverer Plus works correctly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Crystal 11.5 truncating column headers on export to excel

    Hi,
    We are currently (or finally as the case may be) upgrading our reports from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal 11.5 (which I know is a few versions behind but unfortunately the software that we integrate with is only compatible to 11.5).
    However, I've been having a problem exporting to excel.
    The column headers (which can be in a range of report header/page header/group header) are truncating to the the length that they display on the screen before the export.  When I view them in crystal viewer I can see that the entire text field is available.  However this does not flow through to export to excel.
    I have utilised the "Can grow" formatting option however this then creates a merged field up 3 rows high in excel and the report then has problems using excel functions like sort etc. 
    I also attempted to use the data only option which does export the full text in the column names but then I lose the rest of my formatting.
    There were no issues exporting from v8.5
    I have snapped to grid.
    The actual data exports without issue it is only the column headers (text) which pose a problem.
    I am unable to reduce the amount of data that we include in our report to free up space to display the entire text.
    I would prefer to not reduce to a 4pt text size to ensure that it exports correctly as this will have significant impacts for those people who actually export the reports.
    Is anyone able to shed some light on how to resolve this issue?   I've googled and searched these forums extensively but can't quite find a resolution to the issue and would really appreciate any assistance that anyone can offer me. 
    Kind regards
    Janne

    Ian
    It works for me whether my headers are text fields or field headers. Once I export them I expand the columns and set the cells to wrap, and I get the complete contents. Ditto for the fields themselved, and text fields containing data fields.
    I always export excel(97-2003)data only with Column width based on objects in the details & checking   Export object formating, Maintain relative object position, Maintain column alignment, export page header and page footer, Simplify page headers.
    Allow fields to grow is off on everything during exports.
    Note: nearly all my reports are designed in Crystal 2008 without any SQL commands and all exports are done manually. Perhaps it is a XI.5 issue?

  • Criticality icons and exporting to Excel

    Hello,
    I want the appropriate icons to export as well as the text if I perform an export to Excel from a task dashboard or export to Excel of the table view (list display) of a project.  I am getting mixed results and wonder what piece am I missing?
    In our test system - I see icons when I export from task dashboard but not from the table view of a project.
    In our dev system - I see icons in both places.
    For a test id in our dev system - I do not see icons in either.
    Do I need to look at backend security or is there something else?
    Thank you,
