Export to excel issue - date format cannot be displayed properly

Dear all,
When we do a export to excel, if it has date format, we always have problem on displaying it in excel. Some of the date if we change the data format, it will be changed to the correct way. Others will remain the old data format. Any idea?
I've checked the SAP note. It doesn't work. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Yuka
SAP Note:
Click the Excel symbol in the task bar in Business One
Save the file as ".txt"
Open Excel and open the file as a ".txt" (Select in "Files of type" All Files (,))
In the Text Import Wizard Select "Delimited" and for "Start import at row" 1.
Click "Next"
In the Text Import Wizard - Step 2, select 'tab' in "Delimiters", for "Text qualifier:" choose ""
Click "Next"
In the Text Import Wizard - Step 3, highlight the Date column and in "Column data format" check the radio button Date in the drop down menu beside Date you can set the date format you require
Click "Finish"

Hyperion Financial Reporting - Export to Excel converting Data to Text

We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.2.2 with Hyperion Workspace 11.1.2.2 reporting on an ASO Essbase cube version 11.1.2.2.
When we export a report to Excel any data values that are displayed in the report with a negative ('-', '()', etc.) sign come into Excel as a text value. The cell has the green flag and the single quote in it denoting this a text field. The format is listed as 'Custom'. Updating the format does not remove the single quote.
The same result is happening if we display the natural sign in the report or if we flip the sign in the report. This DOES NOT happen when choosing the export query ready, only when using the File -> Export -> Excel.
Does anyone know if there is a hot fix or service pack or configuration to resolve this? How about a work around?
I thought I remember this happening in 9.2 and being resolved in 9.3. We have recently upgraded from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 and the issue is happening again.
The users would like to export the formatted report to Excel and be able to interact with the data cells as numbers.

The issue is reported as a bug. Installing patch 14625370 (11.1.2.2.302) and/or 16088101 (11.1.2.2.303) should fix the problem.

Date Format was not displayed correctly

Hi All,
        We are developing WebDynpro Application successfully....but the date format was not displayed correctly.
the RFC Date format is : 05/23/2007
but in webdynpro we are getting date is wrong....we are getting date is : 09/05/2008.
the below one is our coding for date display format.....
public java.lang.String DisplayingDateFormat( java.lang.String date )
    //@@begin DisplayingDateFormat()
                    // Current date Format in BW
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM.dd.yyyy");
String ChangedDateFormat=null;
try{
//Parsing String to Date
Date sqlDate =sdf.parse(date);
Locale userLocale=WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getLocale();
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT, userLocale);
//Converting Date to String
String newDateString = dateFormat.format(sqlDate);
ChangedDateFormat=newDateString;
I mention my user country is Germany.
can u tell me any one why we are getting wrong date.....
Really i appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhiram.

Too bad you can not offer yourself points. LOL

OBIEE11g maps Some map formatting cannot be displayed

Hello!
I'm getting this warning when the obiee11g maps showing more than 500 poligons on OBIEE11g:
Warning:
Some map formatting cannot be displayed.
Edit the query to return fewer rows
But i realy need to show about 600 poligons.
Is there a way I can alter this limit?
Thank you!

Actually I found out that this is not a limitation.
There is a parameter in instanceconfig.xml where you can set the maximum number of polygons:
Inside the ServerInstance tag, you must add the following code:
<SpatialMaps>
<ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>/mapviewer</ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>
<RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL></RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>
<LayerDataLayout>
<MaxRecords>900</MaxRecords>
</LayerDataLayout>
</SpatialMaps>
It works!

Export to excel issue

Hi All,
Kindly help me in solving this issue.
Portals report layouts can be customized. When the user chooses to export
the customized reports to Excel, only the standard layout (hard coded
layout for each report) is exported to Excel and all the customized columns
are not exported.
C&RM is planning to use the portals aging report for performance metrics,
collection and identifying the over 90 items for collection rep. The
standard layout for the portals aging report is missing the BP# and
Collection rep name.
Choosing right click, select all and copying to Excel, the format of the
report is lost.
Herewith I am attaching the code which needs modification.

Hook method called to modify a view just before rendering.
This method conceptually belongs to the view itself, not to the

It is made static to discourage a way of programming that

The Web Dynpro programming model recommends that UI elements can
only be accessed by code executed within the call to this hook method.

Hi, I finally found the issue which was causing the numbers stored in text format issue. While exporting data to Excel programatically if any of the cells precede with a special character like -. = etc.. the data which is exported after that starts behaving in a peculiar way. So removal of any such special characters resolves the issue.
Hope this helps..

XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

Hi,
I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
The dates are in english.
My excel is setup to use danish.
When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
Thank you in advance.

ADF 11g: Desktop Integrator- Export to Excel issue

Hi,
We are using ADF 11g.
In our application we have one feature where end users can download data in excel format from our web application.
To export data to excel file, users need to click Export to Excel button. But after deployment of code to standalone WLS 11g we are facing following issue with this functionality:
To export data to excel file we have to keep pressing control key through out the operation
If we don't do so it does not downloads the file.
We want the file should be downloaded as soon as user clicks Export to Excel button. (We don't want users to keep pressing control key through this process)
Please help on this how to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Manav Ratra

Hi Shay,
I implemented this functionality following Franks blog on export data to excel.
Ya in your application we are able to export to excel without holding control Key.
The same is happening in our case if we run application using integrated WLS 11g on JDev 11.1.1.3
but after hosting the application on standalone WLS 11g. We need to hold control key. :|
Are there any properties which we need to set to avoid this.
here is code :
*<af:commandButton text="Export to Excel"*
*binding="#{backing_Rates.btn_Export}"*
*id="btn_Export" inlineStyle="width:150.0px;"*
*shortDesc="Click to Save table in excel sheet">*
*<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="pctbl:t1"*
*type="excelHTML"*
*filename="#{backing_Rates.seName}_Rates.xls"*
*title="Rates for - #{backing_Rates.seName} are:"/>*
*</af:commandButton>*
Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Urgent (Export to Excel issue)

Hello Experts,
I am trying to execute one of the BW report via portal. I have a following issue when I am trying to use Export to excel option from the context menu.
The first part of Export to Excel works ok. but if I choose either the Save or the Open option it appears to work but I get a file with only c20 lines, instead of the 20,000+ lines in the report. If I then go back to the BW report and try to do anything it tells me that the session has timed out message attached
Can someone please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Apparao

There are several. Here's one of them:
1) Click on the fx button of the column in question. Enter the following:
'&nbsp'|| columnanme NOTE: Put an "equal sign" after the word "style." I could not get this to display with the operand in. Sigh.
2) Change the Data Format to HTML on the Data Format tab.
3) Export in the usual manner.

Web App Designer Export to Excel - Issue

Hi Gurus,
I was able to sucessfully configure export to excel feature in WAD. However the issue we are encountering is, we have a button which runs a script function, this manupulates data in some columns of the report. So when I perform export to excel after the script function is excuted, the export gets the old state of data and not the data after the script function is run. Is there are way to fix this issue. Please advise.
Thanks Again!

Dear Customer,
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) is not supported on Export to Excel.
If you are using some script AFTER data comes to screen, you will NOT see the effects on Excel.
This is documented in the note:

o Currently WYSIWYG export is not supported.
Sorry to not provide a better solution.

Webi Report exported to excel issues

Hello all.
I have a webi report which when I export to excel gets intended to the right. That is at the top it looks right but as I scroll down it keeps moving to the right and at the end of the page all the data is completely moved to the right and is not visible.
What could be the issue?How do I solve this?
Thanks,

Thank you for your response.
BO Version : 3.1
Excel: 2010
yes the columns get shifted to the right as seen in the screenshot. So as I keep scrolling down the report shifts to the right and disappears as we keep scrolling.

Export to Excel issue after upgrading to IE11

Hi All,
Our organization recently upgraded our Internet Explorer browser from 8 to 11 on Win7, still in pilot phase.
One of the issues that we are currently experiencing is that after the upgrade the Export to Microsoft Excel is no longer functioning as expected. This was working fine on IE8.
What happens now on IE11 is that when you select a table on a web-page and do an Export to Excel, a new window pops up and the address bar stays blank with just http:/// and "Page cannot be displayed" error. What's seems to be happening is that for
some reason, it is not populating the address bar with the URL.
Anyone experienced similar issues and got a fix? Much appreciated.
Regards,
Ochen

Hi Ochen,
Since this is an Internet Explorer related issue, I suggest you refer to the dedicated IE forum below to get more professional support:

Export to Excel Issues

We just upgraded from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal 10. When we export to Excel, the formatting is terrible. We have close to 100 reports that we routinely export...some with 40,000 rows. To try to fix these once they're in Excel is out of the question.
In previous threads I've been reading about a "patch" that supposedly fixes this. Where can I download this?
Eric Hill

The way reports work and export changed significantly in CR 9. While there was a dll available to help move from CR 8.x to CR 9, that dll is no longer available. Not for CR 9, nor any other versions of CR. Instead, you will have to modify your reports as per the article [Crystal Reports Designer Version 10 Exporting to Microsoft Excel|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d3ba69-951e-2b10-3093-e3cf287a57c9?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].
No other work-arounds or options exist at this time.

Access 2010 InfoPath Data Collection Export Fails Due to Date Format That Includes Time Zone

I created an Access 2010 database that has multiple data collection (InfoPath) forms that were generated from Access and have been in use for about 1.5 years. Starting in 2013 (for about a week now), the submitted data fails to Export due
to a "data type conversion error" with the date fields. Prior to 2013, the date string returned in the InfoPath form looked like this: "2013-01-07T00:00:00", but now it looks like this: "2013-01-07T00:00:00-05:00". The time zone is appended
to the string and it kills the Outlook Export feature.
To test this, I created a new database with one table and one date time field. I generated an InfoPath template and emailed it to myself. I entered the date into the template and submitted it (tried manually entering the date as well as
using the date time picker control - made no difference). The InfoPath template now contains "2013-01-07T00:00:00-05:00" and will not Export from Outlook to Access. I tried manually pasting the string into the Access table and it would take it,
but would show "1/7/2013 5:00:00 AM" in the date time field (which isn't correct either but at least it took). Note: This problem has appeared at my office (Win 7 with Office 2010), but my testing was done on my personal laptop using Win 8 with Office
2010.
It looks like Microsoft has created a bug and now all of my data collection forms are unusable. Any help will be appreciated.

Microsoft confirmed that the issue was introduced with MS12-066 as follows:
***Start Quote
We have been able to identify that this issue was introduced with the change made for the hotfix detailed in KB 2687395. This update was included in the security update MS12-066 when you installed KB 2687417.

Investigating workarounds I've only come up with using HTML forms or changing the datatype of the control to text.
***End Quote
My own testing also indicates that if you are using InfoPath with SQL Server, you may be able to change the Date/Time picker control in InfoPath to a Date only picker control (if the SQL Server data
type will support that).

Hyperion Financial reporting Export to excel issue

Hi,
I am exporting a FR report to excel as fully formatted option. But negative values are not exported to excel correctly. Excel shows as positive numbers.
What could be the reason.
Thanks
Shyamkant

I had this problem a while ago and i think it was related to how i had the numbers formatted. Try to format with brackets - this works for me.
