Export to Excel in Web Analyzer: Change description

In Web Analyzer we have a button Export to Excel. When we click that button the report gets downloaded in to excel. By default the excel sheet will be saved as example 0Analysis_Pattern-87.
Is there any way, by default when i click on export to excel button, excel should save either by query description or by query technical name.
Where do i make such a setting.

Hi,
Only one name can be kept while expoting to excel.
You may try bradcast option from your portal, There if you will choose format as excel and send then it will take the technical name of the report as file name.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

Export to Excel in Web Analysis

We are in the process of upgrading to Web Analysis (and the rest of the products for that matter) 11G and we're having an issue when someone tries to export to excel. It pops up and wants the user to drill down to excel.exe so it can launch excel and open the report.
Has anyone seen this before? If so what is the resolution?
I know there was a config fil in Analyzer 7 that we had to update a excelpath variable, but I don't see anything similar in 11g and I can't find a good admin guide for Web Analytics 11g.

With System 9 and SmartView you also have the option to Export to Excel in
Query Read - preserves its connectivity
Fully Formatted - preserves its formatting.

Export to Excel from WEB - How to restrict amount of data

Hi
We have a standard web template w. the option to export to excel. Is there anyway we can restrict / disable this button if the number of rows in the query/dataprovider is more than X.
The reason why I'm asking is that if one or several users export a large amount of data from our BI portal to a local excel file the portal sometimes crash.
br,
Kaare

This, can only be achieved by modifying the WEB template which is used at your client.
If its standard template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN , change the logic for the button export to excel and embedded the code to thorogh an error if report output exceeds certain limit.

Maximum number of rows export to excel from WebI

Hello,
I have a WebI Report in BO 4 SP6 which has 14 columns and 80,000 rows. I opened the report in WebI (Internet explorer) and clicked on the export icon but nothing happened. this report was being run for a month 201301.
So I modified the same report with 1 week's data which is 4500 rows and when I exported it to excel 2007 and it worked.
My questions are:
1- how do I export 80,000 rows of data to excel?
2- what servers/services are responsible for exporting data to excel?
3- any other opinions that you can share which might help me.
PS: I have not test this in rich client since rich client is not being used by users, Users only use WebI.
Regards,
samique

After you click on export to excel. wait for some time for the pop up to come up.... Even after some time if it doesn't come up and throw a timeout error "Missing sEntry parameter", then you can try by increasing the time limit. But I won't recommend this since, this is happening due to huge volume of data.
Below thread might help you
Error when exporting WebI to PDF
If you export it using rich client, you can clearly see that the file size is too large.. It was 45 MB in my case. So I requested my user to put some filters and then do an export to excel.

Export to Excel via web query (page breaks on every column?)

The problem that I'm having is when a query is sent out via the reporting agent or whenever I export a web query to excel there are page breaks put on every column of the query. This becomes quite cumbersome whenever an end user or myself wants to print out a query.
I have already transported the packages included in the "How to Enhance Web Printing" and tested much of the functionality in BWD with no success.
Can anyone shed some light on how to adjust the page breaks or format when exporting a web query to excel or when sending a query out via the reporting agent?
Thanks,
Chad

Export to excel in web with oracle forms 10g

we have an application running on web with oracle 10g forms in windows server 2003. We use webutil to generate excel. But it is terribly slow when its is run on web. When run locally its fine...
PLS suggest.....
Thanks,

CLIENt_OLE transfers lots of small packets over the network,that's what it makes slow. What you could do.... write your own javabean which uses jacob and "aggregates" the low-level OLE-commands to somehow logical commands like "writeValuetoCell"

Export to Excel button only launches in Internet Explorer window

Hi Experts - A subset users that are experiencing issues with the option to Export to Excel via Web Analyzer on 7.0. For others, including myself it works just fine.
When they click the Export to Excel option after running a query, it only opens in an Internet Explorer window (no Excel options to manipulate data) and does not give them the typical MS Excel pop-up window (like I get) to OPEN or SAVE in Excel format.
Thinking this would be an MS Excel or Internet Explorer setting somewhere, but don't know where to find it....
Any help is appreciated!

Hello,
I think that you're right, the problem doesn't seem to come from anything in SAP servers (otherwise no user would be able to make it work right).
If I understand well, you want to open an Excel window when selecting "export to Excel" option, not having the table opened in IE with an Excel tab. Am I right ?
If it's the case, I think that this should work :
In windows explorer, open tools -> folder options
Tab "file type"
find xls extension, and click "advanced" button
uncheck "browse in the same window" button
I'm using windows XP, therefore I can't guarantee that you'll find the same menus with another OS. Furthermore, I'm using a french OS, so my translations might differ slightly from what you'll actually have on screen. The result is reflected in the following registry key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Excel.Sheet.8
(this could be a different key, depending on the MS Office version installed on your computer)
You should now have a DWORD value BrowserFlags = 8
If you have a helpdesk department in your company, that handles software installations, I guess that they should handle this problem (by broadcasting the change in registry ?). But if you're a small company, where everyone has the rights to change such settings, this method will be OK.
Best regards,

Longer running export to Excel after BW7.3 upgrade & HANA migration

Experts -- I'm curious if anyone has encountered issues with longer running exports to excel from Web Analyzer after they upgraded to BW 7.3 and/or migrated to BW HANA?
We have encountered a very elusive issue with our users running into this issue where the export either hangs or returns a series of error messages. OSS has not been of help as the issue is unable to be consistently reproduced.
If you have any thoughts or ideas please feel free to contribute.
Thanks
Justin

Hey Sebastien - Thank you for the response. I work with Justin and can provide the additional information here:
By export what we mean is that users running BEx reports from our web portal are clicking on the 'Export to Excel' button and it is taking an extremely long time. This is happening even when the report result set is relatively small. We never had any issue prior to the upgrade.
There have been a few error messages reported, but this "Open Dialog" error is the most frequent.
We are very familiar with the 500,000 cell limit and these error are taking place on report output well below that limitation.
These reports do not use hierarchies.
Prior to 7.3 we were using 7.0 EP1 SP7
We appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you

Web Intelligence export to Excel misses some fields

Hi,
Our system is running BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP3 (no fix packs). The behavior I'm seeing is when exporting a particular Webi doc to Excel.
Here is some background info for the document I am attempting to export to Excel. The doc contains a section and the section has a crosstab including description header cells. I have added an additional cell at the top of the section with section specific information in it- nothing that strange yet. If my InfoView (Web Intelligence) preferences is set so that 'Select a priority for saving to MS Excel' is set to 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel' then the exported document is missing the additional cell at the top of the section (all other data is fine). If the setting is set to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents' then the Excel export works perfectly.
My question is why would this be? The cell is just a simple dimension (string). My only fear about changing this Excel setting is that there is a warning in the 'Business Objects XI 3.1 Release Notes' guide. It states
Large Web Intelligence documents should be saved to Excel format using the "Prioritize data processing" option". The generated Excel might not open if the document is large and saved with the "prioritize formatting" option.
Thanks,
Steve

We are experiencing similar issue using BO 4 SP2 Patch 10 when exporting to Excel with setting 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel'. Exporting data worked after changing WEBI settings to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents'
Documentation regarding this option states following:
"Under "Select a priority for saving to MS Excel", select the option that best fits your needs:
u2022 If you want to display the data in a format that is similar to working in Web Intelligence, then
choose Prioritize the formatting of the documents.
u2022 If you want to display the data in a text format, then choose Prioritize easy data processing in
Excel."
If I understand this explanation correctly then both options should have extracted the same content to Excel. Difference should have been how the contents were formatted and should not have caused loss of information.
I logged support ticket for this issue.

Output from Web Analysis Related Content will not Export to Excel

I have Web Analysis reports, data in which is sourced from an EIS database. I have drill thru reports that are accessible from "Related Content". The resulting report is created fine, but cannot be exported into Excel. Specifically, I'm prompted for the location of Excel on my pc. Once I browse to it, it will open in Excel.
I have upgraded from Office 10 to Office 12, although I cannot say for certain that is when this problem started occurring.
Secondly, there are no other BI+ issues with export to Excel. For example, FR and WA export fine. The ExcelPath in the webanalysis.properties file takes care of that. I'm hoping there is something similar to update for this problem.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone else has encountered this and successfully resolved. BI+ version is 9.3.1.

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

BOBI 4.x Webi - Graphs when exported to Excel, turns as picture.

Hello,
In SAP BO XI 3.x version, a Webi document having graphs, when exported to Excel sheet, the graphs are exported as they are and were able to modify them. However, in SAP BO BI 4.x version, the graphs are exported as picture and are not able modify them.
I tried with multiple 4.x versions even with 4.1 SP4, but its still the same.
Is this by design that the Chart\Graph engine saves them as picture in 4.x or there are some settings that need to be done?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Abhay

Hello Abhay,
As you suspected, the functionality to add webi chart as excel chart while exporting has been changed in BO 4.x version. Please see below idea page where developers like us asking to restore the same functionality. The idea is under review now. Cast a vote for the idea.

Can you change the Graphs Colors in BEx Web Analyzer?

Dear All,
I have few queries I have developed via BEx Query Designer which I am opening from BEx Web Analyzer in portals. Unfortunately the colors in the Graphs are not very pleasant. I was wondering if there is a way we can customize the colors which is given by the standard.
I am aware that we can do this is BEx Report Designer. But I would like to do this is BEx Query Designer.
Please help..
Cheers,
Shanka

Hi Shanka,
There is no option as such in BEx Query Designer.
You can manipulate and play with colors only in Report designer or Web Application Designer.
In Bex Query designer, you will find only exceptions which are related to colors but chart colors cannot be manipulated in query designer.
If you are executing the report in workbook, you can change accordingly as it is excel.

KK.

Webi reports - Problem exporting to excel

HI,
I have exported a webi report as an excel file. The report contains a column with numeric values preceded by a dollar sign. After exporting to excel, i want to calculate the sum of the values in that column. However some cells show a numeric value, while some others show string value (i.e. text) because of which I am not being able to calculate the sum. Please help.

Hi there,
Is the object that you are exporting with the dollar sign a string? If so then this is normal because it is not numeric. I tried the workflow in Excel and wen I try to apply a sum, it seems to change one of the values from string to numeric but this is within excel. Maybe this is happening to you too. In order to be able to add a calculation correctly, you need to change the object to a numeric. You can do this by creating a new variable in webi, removing the $ and converting it to a numeric. For Ex: "=ToNumber(Substr([dollar string object];2;10))". Note, if you still want the $ to appear, you can use the format number feature.
Hope this helps!
