Exporting Excel to XML

I have a "date" column in Excel that gets exported to XML as an Excel number ... how can I export as XML dates?

Make sure you have the cell set as date. If that is producing the number (which it probably is), copy the column past it in text column and not a date. Then try the export again.

Error In Exportting Excel by XML.

Hi All,
I want to export program to Excel. I use XML. In the Program not all error but when I print to be error. Log fie always raise:
"XML PARSE ERROR: Missing end-tag
Error occurs at or below this element stack:
    <ss:Workbook>
     <ss:Worksheet>
      <ss:Table>
       <ss:Row>
        <ss:Cell>
         <ss:Data>" but I search every line not Missing end~tag.
I print some program of my colleague what they print successfully but I can't. Log file raise the error same above.
I don't know why. Help me.
Thank you so much.

I am assuming you are doing a Excel in tabulation style. If it is. Here is what I found you need to do
Look for following segment;
(Beginning of <TABLE> section)
<Table ss:ExpandedColumnCount="9" ss:ExpandedRowCount="5862" x:FullColumns="1" x:FullRows="1" ss:DefaultRowHeight="15">
where 9 is the maximum number of columns in your table and 5862 is the number of rows.
These two numbers must be right.

Size of Exported Excel file is very large

Hi,
I have a report that has around 10000 rows and 5 columns. When I export to excel, the excel file is very big, around 15MB.
But If the file is opened, and saved again , the size reduces to around 13MB.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the file size of the exported Excel file. I would prefer to export it to excel rather than CSV format.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks....
ViVa1

Hi, actually as you have probably noticed the size grows a lot due to the use of different styles and formatting.
If you do not require any formatting then I would recommend you to consider a CSV file format again because it will result in the smallest file size which you can achieve with exporting.
Also for the future referencing SQL Server 2008 R2 exports reports only in XLS format, but SQL Server 2012 by default will export into a new XLSX file format which is a compressed (zipped XML based format) so the resulting files will be significantly smaller.
For example I created a small project to test exporting of 10000 x 5 data to an Excel file. I used this
.NET Excel component to create various spreadsheet files, it has a straightforward API for
exporting DataTable into an Excel file in .NET so you can test this out yourself with ease. The output files, without any formatting applied to them, have the following sizes: XLS (~1MB), XLSX (~300KB) and CSV (~250KB).

Problem opening exported Excel file

Hi
We recently experienced a problem that has never occurred before. When trying to open an exported Excel file from a query with hierarchical structures (using the link <SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER="DP" CMD="EXPORT" FORMAT="XLS"> on the 0ANALYZER template), we are asked to log on to the BEx web, as if it's a Web application. If it is an Excel exported from a hierarchy-free query, then the file open directly without the logon prompt. According to the user, he used to be able to open downloaded hierarchy-expanded data without going through the logon process.
Has anyone experienced the same problem before? Can you share you solution to help us? Thank you in advance!

If I understand your issue correctly we used a different fix. Very easy to do.
First, what I believe is happening is that your icons for the hierarchy are being exported as a reference with absolute URL (images can not be exported). This means that when Excel opens the file it tries to resolve the URL and to do that it requires a login.
You can verify that absolute URLS are being exported by opening your excel export in a text processor (its actually XML). Look for URLS that start "http://.../MIME/BEx/Analyser/xxxx.gif". which are icons.
This took us quite a while to figure out because excel was not asking us to log in. It just timed out for each URL reference. Took forever.
The fix we used was to add the following entry to this table on your BW system... (LANG must be empty), Caption is optional:
Table=RSZCONTROLTEXTS,
Entry=
Lang = "",
TARGET_ID="ID_FLAG_XLS_ABS_URL",
CAPTION=Force Excel Export to use relative URLs in XML output for icons
You can experiment with results before you try by editing your XML file (the excel export from web) and removing from those icon URLS the "http:...." up to Mime. This makes it a relative URL. The down side is that it cannot find the icon and displays a box with an X in it. I believe there are techniques for importing icons into excel. They would look like this after surgery <img src="Mime/BEx/Analyzer/hieric2.gif">
If you implement the fix and don't like the effect just remove the entry from the table and all is back to before. I do not believe this is a transportable fix though.
We discovered it when we were pretesting a bunch of service pack upgrades. See SAP note #650887
Hope this helps

Export data to XML from JSP possible?

I have a small JSP to retrieve data in a Browse form. Is there information on how to save information retrieved in a Browse (or Edit) form to XML output in order for a spreadsheet application (e.g. Excel) to pull up the data? I have not noticed this in the help files. Are there sample codes examples that illustrate this?
Is exporting data to XML even possible using JDeveloper 9.0.3?

You can call write XML on your ViewObject to get an XML representation.
If you are using IE you can change the content type for a page to :
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
This will open excel within your browser. It seems to deal nicely with any data in the page that is formatted in HTML <table> elements.

Use XML.sendAndLoad.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
You will need a server script to receive the XML structure
and it depends on
the server scripting language how you obtain that data. Then
you can either
populate a database or write to a static file or even email
the XML data
received from Flash.
For a basic example, I have two links I use for students in
my Flash
courses:

Export excel option is not working in test environment in Firefox.

In our application 'export excel' option is present in 4 different pages. All the excels working in development environment in both IE and FF. In testing env, all the excels working fine in
IE. But only two excels are working in FF in testing env. Remaining not working and 'The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading' error page appears when we click on 'export excel' button. Can any one help on this issue...

Hello,
You can do one of the following:
Select the table in Firefox and then copy it to the clipboard. In Excel do Paste Special and select either 'Unicode text' or 'text' to copy it into Excel.
Use the Table2Clipboard extension. This will provide the Right-Click menu option, it will copy the data into the clipboard and you can then paste the selection into Excel.
I hope that helps.

Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

Hi All,
In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
"The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                           type="excelHTML"
                           filename="Export.xls"
                           title="Excel export"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks

You can save the data on the client and the check the data.
Have you considered using POI to generate real xsl workbook files?

Formatting / Post Processing of Exported Excel Sheet

Hi ,
Issue:
The Columns in the Excel Sheet are not fully visible when we export Report from CR viewer to Excel Sheet. So we had planned for Post processing of the Excel Sheet using VBA or .NET etc to format the Excel Sheet, which would be on the server side, meaning the End user will never see the formatting process, but only the End Report. Is it possible to achieve this ??
NOTE:
1) VBA or .NET could not be run on the Linux Server but we could take advantage of the windows server in the presentation layer.
Architecture:
Presentation Layer
Linux Server <--> Windows .Net Server <--
> End User
{Crystal RAS Server} <-->{GUI CR Viewer Application}<--
>
Our Proposed Solution:
1) Create an GUI Application that has CR viewer in it .
2) Create a Separate Excel Export button on the webpage.
3) when the user wants to export the report , he clicks the button.
4) The GUI/ application saves the Exported Excel Sheet from the Ras server to the windows server.
5) Then the .Net or the Vba code is applied to process/Format the Excel Sheet.
6) When complete the End user is prompted for saving the report to a local disk.
My questions:
1) Can this be achieved ?
2) what would be the best way to handle this ?
3) what should be the process flow ?
4) what are the things to be considered while planning for such a design ?

So you're looking at using RAS .NET SDK on the Application Layer to export a Crystal Report to Excel, save to temp file on the Application Layer machine, process that temp file, and stream that back out to the client web browser.
Considerations:
1. You need to create your own custom UI button to trigger the process, since the .NET Web Forms Crystal Reports viewer won't have the hooks to customize the Excel export.
2. Running Excel VBA from your Web App may be problematic - you'd have to be particularly careful if the system is under load, since the Excel VBA - COM-Interop isn't necessarily designed for high throughput. Under high load, you may get file locking or COM-Interop layer just refuse to process. It's pretty common to try and catch exceptions and retry if you encounter this.
You'd likely not find anyone here familiar with 2 above, but 1 is fairly common.

WEBI report present different in exported excel file

Hello expert,
I create a line chart in webi, and I create a table block to cover the x axies label for the line chart. this presentation looks perfect in WEBI report, but when I export it into excel file, the x axies labels for the line chart showed up with that table block moved down a little bit. how can I present WEBI in the same way in the exported excel file?

Hi,
If your requirement is to hide labels or X Axis values from the chart ..You can do this directly unchecked the check box for values or labels from the X Axis properties.
For to adjust the table block and line chart right click on the Cell go to Align ->Relative Position and in the bottom section adjust the height from the particular block.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Amit

Again: Using Crystal Report to export excel sheet.

Morning every one, first Iu2019d like to apologize for my last question see Using Crystal Report to export excel sheet. Itu2019s pretty hard to understand and wastes your precious time. Now here is a new one hopefully it will do myself a lot of help:)
First, we have a table called HOURLY_PORTUTIL in the Database:
Column Name...........Data Type
STARTTIME ................DATE
CIRCLE.......................VARCHAR2
SERVICENAME...........VARCHAR2
PORTUTIL....................NUMBER
The data in this table looks like:
9/25/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...0.01
9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...0.04
9/25/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...5.04
9/25/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...(456)...0.02
9/25/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.01
9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.04
9/25/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.04
9/25/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...AL-MOD...0.02
9/26/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...1.01
9/26/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...0.34
9/26/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...(456)...5.24
9/26/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...(456)...7.72
9/26/2008 00:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...12.0
9/26/2008 01:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.23
9/26/2008 02:00:00 AM...AP...AL-MOD...0.44
9/26/2008 12:00:00 PM...AP...AL-MOD...8.11
9/25/2008 00:00:00 AM...Delhi...(456)...1.01
9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM...Delhi...(456)...2.04
9/25/2008 02:00:00 AM...Delhi...(456)...6.04
9/25/2008 12:00:00 PM...Delhi...(456)...7.02
Then we have a Cross-Table:
Columns:
.............HOURLY_PORTUTIL.SERVICENAME
Rows:
............HOURLY_PORTUTIL.CIRCLE
............HOURLY_PORTUTIL.STARTTIME
............@hourly
Summarized Fields:
..............................Sum HOURLY_PORTUTIL.PORTUTIL
The Formula @hourly converts, say, '9/25/2008 01:00:00 AM' to '01:00-02:00'.
The above all is the information of our Cross-Table configuration, but the outcome is not what we want. I find that this forum doesn't want the user to post image, so I post the actually outcome and the outcome we want in my Picasa.
Actually outcome:
[http://picasaweb.google.com/enel.guo/ForWork#5288743968250408770]
What we want:
[http://picasaweb.google.com/enel.guo/ForWork#5288743974292750610]
I know that the outcome looks good enough, but our customers don't think so. They want export the report to Excel sheet and have every row with exact CIRCLE and STARTTIME.
Thanks again guys:)

Hi Ashwini Yadav,
Thanks for your reply:)
I'm afraid that your answer is not perfectly right. Again I'm sorry for my vague description. The suggestion you gave us is already adopted. The total and grand total part disappeared but we still can't get what we want.
Please have a look at the new image link below, Hopefully it will give you a clear picture of what's going on:)
Cross-table:

The output we want:
