Export to excel - number format

Hi,
Our version is SAP ERP Central Component 5.0 and we have just pathed the system from SPS18 to SPS23.
However from that time has change the export to excel functionality. Now after you select List - Export - Spreadsheet you can select either Excel (in Mhtml format) or All available formats - here the same format as in the old version has option 'Microsoft Excel (In existing XXL format). However when the report is exported eg account numbers do not have the correct format. So you need to convert them first to the correct number format with function VALUE in Excel.
Can this be somehow fixed?
Thanks,
Honza

Hi,
Dots and commas is not the issue.
The issue is that eg doment numbers are in the format in which you cannot vlookup them with other files where document numbers are in number format. So you need first to convert them using excel function value(). And then they have the correct format.
I am 100% sure there was not the same problem before we installed the higher patch.

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Exporting from SE11, Number Format Problem

When looking at data in SE11 from a table, the number format is XXX.XX,YY ..basically a number 900.65 is represented as 900,65 in the R/3 system. I want to export the data in a more meaningful format into Excel ie. 900.65 as 900.65 instead of 900,65. Basically the comma and the decimal point need to be interchanged. Please advise.
Thanks,
Anita S.

Hi Anita,
This not a security feature as such. User can maintain his own settings like the date format, decimal notation, thousand separator etc. It has nothing to with the security.
So you can go ahead and do the settings. Thise will be limited to your logon only.

Export to excel loses formatting

I have a region whose source is a SQL query.
My SQL query contains function calls that return a value.
source of the region:
select nvl(GETSRHR(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "REQUESTS",
nvl(GETTBHR(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "BENEFITS",
nvl(GETTOTALHRS(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "TOTALS"
from dual
Report template chosen is: default vertical report look 1 (include null columns)
when I run the page the report looks as follows:
REQUESTS 20
BENEFITS 120
TOTALS 140
When I export this it looks like:
REQUESTS BENEFITS TOTALS
20 120 140
Why is the formatting lost when I export to Excel? am I missing a step somewhere?
thanks for the feedback

The CSV/Excel export always exports your data horizontally. Similar to what you would get if you were running this in SQL Plus. The vertical look report template only applies to the report when shown in your web page. The template selection has now affect on the structure of the CSV export. If you need to export your data in a different way, one way to implement this would be to write a PL/SQL region or process that stores the data in that format first, e.g. in another table or using HTML DB collections and then write a report that is based on that temporary storage.

BPC for Excel - Number Formatting

Hi
Hopefully an easy question !
What do I need to put in the number FORMAT field in the FormatRange to have positive numbers as 12,345 and negative numbers in red and in parentheses (12,345) ? - in excel formatting it would be #,##0,;[red](#,##0,)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
Gav

I assume this is for an EVDRE report. In an EVDRE report, If the word FormatRange is in cell A9, put anEvRng formula in B9, referencing another cell, for example =EvRng(C9). Then format C9 the way you want your schedule to look (font, border, pattern, number format, alignment, etc). I put a number in cell C9 so you can see the results of your formatting.
There are many more formatting capabilities of EVDRE that you can find in the Help file and the BPC for Office guide, but this is the simplest way to do it. You can also do conditional formatting on the cells in the data range.

Export to Excel is formatted differently since we upgraded to XI release 2

Hi,
For many of our reports were using the Crystal Reports that came embedded VisualStudio2002. Recently, some of our developers needed to upgrade their laptops to Crystal Reports XI release 2. This forced us to install the Crystal 11.5 redistributable on our web servers, so those developers would be able to run their new reports.
However, now we are noticing problems with the export-to-excel feature on some of our OLD reports. Even though we have not change/touched the OLD reports at all, the export to excel feature is acting differently. I strongly suspect it has something to do with the 11.5 redistributable I installed on the servers.
Specifically, these are the things we noticed missing on our old reports...
1. Previously, the export-to-excel would mimic the page breaks we setup in the rpt file. Now it does not. The page breaks seem random in the Excel export. If I export the report to PDF the page breaks seem fine (i.e. exactly how I set them up in the rpt file).
2. Previously, the page header section would repeat within every page of the Excel document (that is how we wanted it). Now it does not. The page header only shows up once, but then does not repeat anymore.
Previously, we did not have to set any of the format options in the report, and it worked fine. To try and resolve the problems I have now tried these settings (C#):
ExcelFormatOptions efo = new ExcelFormatOptions();
efo.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage =true;
efo.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
Those format changes did not help at all. Does anyone know how to get my page breaks back?
thanks, --Rick

Hi Rick,
The version of CR included in .NET 2002 was version 9. There have been a lot of changes done to our exporting dll's since then that cleaned up how CR exported. You won't be able to fix this using code, it is due to your objects in the page layout that is causing the changes.
There is a Document that the Report Design team has that is "Best Practices" when laying out reports for exporting so I am transferring this posting to the Report Design Forums to help you with "fixing up" your reports. If you still have issues when previewing/printing/exporting through your application they can transfer this post back.
Thank you

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.

2013 versus 2010 - Export to Excel

Hi,
When exporting a view from Project Server 2013 Project Center to Excel, it seems to export without any formatting (no colours, etc).
It only exports rudimentary formatting such as the indenting.
This seems to be different than it used to be.
Does anyone know if this is expected behaviour? Or is there something wrong in our config? The configuration was upgraded from 2007 - 2010 - 2013.
thanks,
http://blogs.umtsa.co.za/nicoo

Hi Nico,<o:p></o:p>
I can reproduce the same behaviour in Project Server 2013 environment. The export is without any
formatting (no colors etc.). Your environment configuration looks precise.<o:p></o:p>
I have found related thread to your query. Here is the link you may find useful – <o:p></o:p>

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.

Excel export (webui crm -- excel) wrong format of house number

Hi,
in an excel export (webui crm ---> Excel) is displaying the wrong format.
If the house number contains a special character such as "/" then the house number displayed in the date format in Excel.
And if in the field house number is a number and a letter such as "9 a", then the house number is displayed in time format (9:00 am) instead the house number.
Does anybody know, how can I solve this problem?
Thank you in adance.
Best regards, Jasmin

Hi,
There is no error from the CRM functionality. If you SAVE the excel,instead of opening it directly and then " open with "
word pad or notepad, you can see the phone no.s and fax no.s are properly transported to excel.There is a default format setting of
excel from the Microsoft, so you are getting the default format after opening the excel.
Steps:
1.Export to excel.
2.Choose the BP,PHONE and FAX columns holding the 'CTRL'key.
3.Right click on the chosen columns and choose "format cells".
4.Under the tab "number" choose 'number' and and reduce the decimal
place to '0' and click "OK".
5.Now you will be able to see the expected format.
If you are using IE then the excel file that is being generated should be an XML file which would help with the formating issue. But when there is a problem in the generation of the XML file a CSV file is created instead.
The kind of problems that can cause this could be :
- Wrong version of Excel (professional needed)
- Error in encoding (note 1560243 corrects this)
- Active X Settings on browser are not properly setup or disabled
- Other problems (some fixed in note 1457261)
I hope this helps.

Number format while export to excel

Hi All,
I have a report which contains measures with comma seperator which are fine in report but while export to excel the comma seperator hasn't been displaying in excel. But client wants to show the comma in excel
any help greatly appreciate
Thanks inadvance

Hi,
Please check first the regional settings of the client. If that is not set with a comma as decimal seperator then Excel won't show the data either with a comma as decimal seperator.

Export to Excel formating problem

I am having a problem with the formatting of a an export file
to Excel, which is created by a Coldfusion page. My export file
contains numbers that need to be formatted as text. I found the
style code below on this forum, but I am not having any luck with
it. I tried adding it to my style file or directly as style
formatting on the export page, but neither one of the two are
getting recognized.
Is there anything else I need to code before this works? Your
help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Rose
<html>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
TD {
mso-number-format:\@;
</style><body>

<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msexcel">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
filename=export.xls">
<cfquery name = "getclub" datasource="#DSN#">

</tr></cfoutput>
</table>

Could it be a case sensitivity issue? I also noticed that you
are missing a <head> tag pair, and that your date range field
is not actually numeric. I doubt that excel is that delicate when
it comes to those issues, but you might try:
<html><head>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
TD.number {
mso-number-format:\@;
</style></head><body>
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msexcel">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
filename=export.xls">
<cfquery name = "getclub" datasource="#DSN#">
Select mail_name name,…
</cfquery>
<table width="200" border="2">
<cfoutput query='getclub'> <tr>
<td class="number">#customer#</td>
<td>#dateformat(begin_date,'mm/dd/yyyy')# -
#dateformat(end_date,'mm/dd/yyyy')#</td>

Export to excel - Formatting issue - OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
When an analysis is exported to Excel, some of the values are showing some strange behaviour i.e. some values are multiplied by some huge number as you can see in the excel screenshot below.
BI Analysis Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/331eopf.jpg
Excel Screenshot:
http://i44.tinypic.com/34snqko.jpg
Is this BI issue or an Excel setup issue? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We too faced the similar issue.
We tried ROUND function and it was coming with proper formatting.
Try and let me know further.
Regards,
MuRam
