Field merge via Excel upload?

I decided to create a new string for this question, though I had found a related article where I initially made a posting (I can't now edit or delete my original posting - "actions" menu doesn't open for me, PC and Mac, Chrome and FF):
Using Field Merge to Dynamically Display an Image
The post above outlines pretty much exactly what I want to do, but I'm missing something -
Here is what I'd like to do: I have some customer information that I want to merge to an email; the information is not something I want to necessarily retain with my contacts.
We're using Excel to upload lists, as these are contacts not currently in our database. I created a new field merge, and inserted the merge into my email. Creating the field merge requires linking the merge to either Contacts, Accounts, Events/Event Sessions, or CDOs. My original assumption was that I'd need to create a CDO, which I did. So I created the field merge, tied it to my CDO, and inserted the field into the email.
When I then go to test the email, I upload my test segment. In matching fields, I can't match the additional customer data fields from Excel to fields in Eloqua - I had thought maybe the CDO fields would appear as options for matching.
So, my question is, how do I get the Excel data to match up to my merge field in Eloqua?
Thanks for any help you can give!
Colin

Here was the outcome:
You can't perform a merge via Excel upload (ie - trying to create a new segment via upload that contains data to be merged) - I was on the right track, that this needs to be done via CDO.
1. Create your CDO, upload your Excel file, and map contacts to the data card
     - Create a new CDO, adding the extra fields you want to capture
     - Specify "Email Address" in the Display name, Unique ID and Email Address fields. I also set the Group By field to Email Address, and the Entity type as Contacts with field again set to Email Address.
     - When uploading your Excel file with the records you want to merge, make sure to map the uploaded contacts to the data card (Custom Object > Upload Custom Object Records). In the resulting wizard, in step 4 - Upload Actions, be sure that the Map data card checkbox is checked. Not real sure why you'd ever not want this - it seems to me you can't do much without it.
2. Create your field merges Email Field Merges
     - map these to your CDO fields
3. Insert the field merges into your email
That's about it - if anyone has additional info or corrections on the above, let me know. Hope this helps -

    Thanks.
    Angel

    Hi Angel,
    Well !!! I am wellversed with this Excel uploading process and help you by explaining the process in below steps..
    1). Create Planing Layout for Profit center in 7KEA transaction Code
    2).  EC-PCA Maintain Planned Profiles in transaction code KP34PC
    3). In KP34PC transaction code, First you enter your planner profile name and save.
    4). Then Select the planner profile which you have created in step 3 and double click on Profit Center Accounting folder left hand side.
    5). In the subsequent screen, select new entries button and select the planning area Cost/Revenues & Give the CUDK and QTDK and also select document type - P0
    6). After the above step Save once
    7). Then select the Planning area Cost/Revenues step and double click on Layouts for Controlling folder from left side
    8). In the next screen, select new entries button and enter the item 10 or some other number you can give. Select the Planning layout which you have created for this. Select Overview & Integrated check box
    9). Select the above item and Double click on Default parameters
    10). In the next screen, you should give the Version - Planning period, Fiscal year and company code, Profit center and Accounts if there any
    11). Select Form Based radio button
    12). Now press F5 button or Overview Screen button. Now the system will generate teh File Description and take you to next screen where you can see Excel opened
    13). In that screen first select Check button to know the consistancy of the profile. It will give message saying that it is consistant like that
    14). No select Generic File button. You will get one pop up. There you have to give some name. For example - SAPFICO*.TXT and then Press enter.
    15). Next From the menu select File Description option --> under that select --> SAVE ALLL option
    16). Now DONT DO ANYTHING after 15th step and simply select BACK ARROW. Now you will be coming to parameters screen. You just select save button in the Parameters Button.
    17). From the Parameters screen, select Back arrow to come back to Layouts for Controlling (Planner profile configuration screen)
    18).  In the Layouts for Controlling screen you can be able to see your  File Description which you have created. Now Dont forget to SAVE in this screen.
    After the above configuration, Before loadoing the file into the system, you have to select your planner profile in 7KEX screen - Other wise, system will not identify you file description and throw an error.
    Let me know if you still face any issues..

  • How to increase the number of rows for Entry via Excel in SSM ?

    hello
    we are facing a scenario where we need to enter the target data for more than 14000 fields.So when we open the excel ad in and trying to upload, it is accepting data for only 500 fields and the rest are not getting displayed.
    The condition is that we have to enter data via Entry and Approval and not using a procedure and multiple metric sets is not a feasible option since the number of records is large. How can the number of rows in excel be increased ?
    Vijay

    Hi Bob
    I am facing another problem....
    we have designed our model in such a way that we built it using normal procedures but the target values have to be entered using entry and Approval via Excel ad-in..
    the problem we are facing is that if we select both the actual and the target measures to load the data via Excel login then the column TARGET is getting greyed out. When we build the same model using cube builder , the column TARGET is not getting greyed out and we are able to enter data there.
    Is there any setting changes we need to make inorder to make the Entry and Approval process via Excel behave the same way when the model is built using the Cube builder ? Are there any new notes or a newer version of Excel ad in to resolve this ?

  • How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

    Hello
    I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them. 
    I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
    Cheers
    James

    What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
    When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
    You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
    icon in the header and you'll be done.
    Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
    two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
    let
        Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
        RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
        PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
        ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
    in
        ExpandData

  • How to mail merge via Mail.app?

    I would link to run a mail merge via Numbers (or Excel) through Mail.app just like I can to print media with Pages.
    Any ideas?

    I have searched high and low for the answer and it appears the mac is seriously missing this basic tool that  nearly all businesses need nowdays.  It's a real shame. Brand new macbook pro and macbook air for our sales people and whatnot and who would have thought we'd have to resort back to our old windows tools on the mac (microsoft office and outlook on OSX).  If we'd have known there was a major hole in the basic tools we wouldnt have moved over.
    Anyway, that was a bit "rantish" but if I can be more constructive I've had suggestions to pay someone to write applescript and automator code for me, purchase office and outlook for mac and that's about it.  I can't find any custom apps (except for MaxBulk Mailer and RoBoPostman) but they're both very contained though I may have to give them a go soon if I can find no other solution.  (EDIT: You can also use online tools like sendgrid and the like but I want my own on machine system where I don't pay per month etc)
    Basically people are saying numbers and pages haven't been updated much at all in the last 3 years so that's why this problem has been persistent for so long.  Others claim it's not a problem (they must use all their contact data in the address book rather than databases and/or spreadsheets).  It is a real problem though (I'm ranting again sorry! )
    IF you find a solution I'd LOVE to hear it.  Our marketing efforts are suffering due to this.

  • In KP26 excel uploading not happening with +new values+

    Kp26 the users  is doing thorugh EXCEL upload
    wants to update NEW activity  values even if Costs already posted ?
    But manually we are able to delete the values and update, but for large employee turnovers
    we cannt do it manually, so they are looking for update option which will
    erase the current data and update the fresh ones?
    the following error message appears when we try with delete button?
    The following is the error message
    Costs already posted under cost element SEC_ACT_CO. No deletion possible
    Message no. K8098
    Diagnosis
    You want to delete business process or cost center/activity type 5000010114/LE6047.
    However, you have already posted actual costs in version 0 in fiscal year 2011 under cost element SEC_ACT_CO.
    System Response
    The deletion may therefore not be executed.
    Procedure
    First reverse the posted record under cost element SEC_ACT_CO.
    Alternatively you can set all fields to zero in the plan record you have just selected. This corresponds to a deletion of the activity types/business process quantity planning on object 5000010114/LE6047.
    If the message appears several times in the error log, it could be that the actual records were posted under different transaction currencies. In this case, you must delete them all.

    thankx for the reply
    But in our case the while we checked periodwise values are not the difference which are getting posting
    rather 100 is getting multiplied with the old values.
    the Acvtivity price  was 10 for 01 to 12 periods we changed to 100
    New value     old value      posted amounts
    100     7.37     73.7
    100     7.36     73.6
    100     7.31     73.1
    100     9.5     95
    100     9.9     99
    100     11.23     112.3
    100     11.22     112.2
    100     11.22     112.2
    100     11.22     112.2
    100     11.23     112.3
    100     11.22     112.2
    100     11.22     112.2
    the user changes period values some times thats the reason above table shows different figlures
    But as per the delta logic it should be as follows
    New value     old value      User rquires
    100     7.37     100     
    100     7.31     100
    100     9.5     100
    100     9.9     100
    100     11.23     100
    100     11.22     100
    100     11.22     100
    100     11.22     100
    100     11.23     100
    100     11.78             100
    100     11.22      100
    But here the requirement is little peculiar,
    The user wants to update plan data , irrespective whether it is existing or not, with fresh
    figures which should equally distribute periodwise (not according to delta logic)  as shown above
    all should become 100?
    How that can be achieved?

  • 7KEX Flexible Excel Upload

    I need to upload an Excel file with the transaction 7KEX, but i do not know how to do it. How to configure the input file.
    If you have ever come across with "flexible excel upload" transactions, could you please provide a sample code of the Z program which you have witten to interpret the values from excel and for posting those values?

    Hi!
    Here some more information about the report S_ALR_87013336
    . This report belongs to the group of drill-down/interactive reports.
    This means that those reports are always aggregating/cumulating account
    values in the following way:
    'From'-Period: 0  (this is hard-coded in the system and cannot be
                      influenced by the selection criteria in the field
                      'From period')
    'To'-  Period:    selected period in the selection criteria.
    This is because the drill-down reports like S_ALR_87013336 should
    provide the ability to show the stock values of the BALANCE SHEET
    accounts ands so it has to accumulate the values from period 0 to the
    selected period. Furthermore, report S_ALR_87013336 shows only values
    for balance sheet accounts.
    Please also consider the attached note 180906 which explains the
    different update logic for the periodic data transfer programs, namely,
    1KEH, 1KEK, 1KEI and 1KEJ. I am sure your postings you mentioned have
    been made by any of these periodical transfer programs.
    So please consider the described update logic of the tables GLPCA (line
    items) and GLPCT (totals table). So if you want to see the balance over
    the periods 1 - 12 in TN KE5Z you only have to inout in the period
    field in TN KE5Z 12 - 12 and NOT 0 - 12.

  • Excel upload with listener

    Hi,
    I have enabled excel upload with the listener, and it actually works fine. I get the data into a collection.
    Now what if I want to store the file in the database? It seems that the file is NOT inserted into wwv_flow_files. Also the item that contains the file has no value when the page is submitted with the XLS2COLLECTION button. (If I create another button that also submits the filename is there)..
    So it seems that when this feature is enabled the file is deleted from www_flow_files when page processing starts.

    Hi Martin,
    the feature is undocumented and not officially supported for 1.1, but known to work for Excel files up to the 2003 format. XLSX (2007 onwards) is not implemented.
    Perhaps going through the discussion and examples in {thread:id=2342792} helps you solve your issue.

  • Field Merge in Subject Line - Increasing the Hard Bounce Rate?

    Hey All,
    We did a little A/B test recently. By "little" I mean two different tests, 250 recipients in each test). We wanted to test the option to insert Field Merge in the Subject Line. We took 10% of 2 specific groups of costumers and sent the two options:
    1. Salutation LastName, Register Now and Secure a Tuition Scholarship
    VS.
    2. Register Now and Secure a Tuition Scholarship
    As said above, we did the same test twice to 2 different groups.
    The results was, unsurprisingly, in favour of the Subject Line with the Field Merge BUT - - - - - We saw that not only the Open Rates or Clickthroughs were higher, but also Hard Bounce rates were higher (3 Hard Bounces when we used Field Merge vs. 0 when we sent a plain text SL)
    Do you think that the usage of Field Merge in the Subject Line could be the reason for the higher Hard Bounces rates?
    Thank you,
    Ziv

    You should be able to get some more precise information from your Xorg logs, but I would bet it is related to the evdev driver. Some of the options in your xorg.conf no longer work with the latest version. For now you should be able to either map your mouse directly to the appropriate /dev/event* entry or change to the standard mouse driver, both of those methods should be in the wiki.
    You are supposed to be able to use the evdev driver without the input section of your xorg.conf by using dbus/hal autodetection, but AFAIK at the moment the xorg-server package still isn't compiled with hal support, so you would have to patch and rebuild the package.
