Format Excel cell

Hi,
I am writing a program that will send out an email with an excel attachment. When I open the excel file, it does show the leading zeros if the value contents only digits. For example. if the plant is '0005' the file displays just '5'. Do you know how to format the cell to text field?
I am using FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' for the email sending.
Thanks,
Chuong

Hi,
If you are using OLE automation to create the excel, you should format the cell like this:
SET PROPERTY OF cell 'NumberFormat' = '@'.

Convert contents of a formatted excel cell to HTML format

Hi All,
Background: I am writing a script that uploads some test cases written in excel into Quality Center. For those who are familiar with the QC Excel Addin, this script would do a pretty similar job except for reducing
the steps involved. I'm using Office 2007 running on Win 7 Pro.
Need: I have a situation where the contents of a formatted excel cell need to be converted to HTML tags representing the same formattin in the excel cell. For example a cell containg the text: "Verify
if help topics in Macro section are
hyperlinked" should be converted to
<html>Verify if help topics in Macro section are hyperlinked</html>
Question: Is there an inbuilt function in Excel/VBAn accomplish this? Or is a macro required? Any other ideas to accomplish this?
Note: Whatever used for converting (an inbuilt function or a macro) should support new line characters and colors.
Any help or redirection to solutions is appreciated.
Thanks, John.

Dim chrCol, chrLastCol, htmlTxt As String
bldTagOn = False
itlTagOn = False
ulnTagOn = False
colTagOn = False
chrCol = "NONE"
htmlTxt = "<html>"
chrCount = myCell.Characters.Count
For i = 1 To chrCount
With myCell.Characters(i, 1)
If (.Font.Color) Then
chrCol = fnGetCol(.Font.Color)
If Not colTagOn Then
htmlTxt = htmlTxt & ""
colTagOn = True
Else
If chrCol <> chrLastCol Then htmlTxt = htmlTxt & ""
End If
Else
chrCol = "NONE"
If colTagOn Then
htmlTxt = htmlTxt & ""
colTagOn = False
End If

Formatting Excel Cells from JSP

Hello,
I am outputting my resultset in excel. However, in the excel the cells are in a wrapped format. I was wondering if there is a way of changing the cell properties from the jsp itself so that it doesnt wrap. Below is my code snippet I use to ouput to excel.
<%
 String error_date = request.getParameter("error_date");
 File filepath=new File("file.xls");
 response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
 response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=" + filepath);
 response.setHeader("cache-control", "max-age=0");
%>
Anything I can do with the setHeader method or something that would enable me achieve my goal would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot All

No, you would have to generate the file right in the first place rather than hoping JSP would have a tool to fix it up. Fact is, JSP doesn't know or care anything about Excel. It isn't even a good idea to use JSP to output Excel data.
Edit: And no, there aren't any HTTP headers to fix up your Excel either. HTTP doesn't know or care anything about Excel either.

Help needed with referencing single Excel cells and formatting resulting text

In InDesign CS5 I am putting together a 20pp catalogue of about 200 products. The plan is to have the product information, SKU code, quantity etc fixed, but have the prices (there are two i.e. pack price and individual price) being linked to an Excel spreadsheet. This is so that the prices can be updated in the Excel file and the InDesign file will pull the new prices through. In case you are wondering why I don't pull the whole set of information through, this is because there are a lot of copywriting changes done to the information once it's in InDesign - it's only going to be the prices that will be updated.
I am planning on having two single cell tables in their own text frame, duly formatted with cell style, table style and paragraph style for the two price variables. This I am then going to have to repeat 200 times making sure I link to the next row down in Excel. This is going to be a hideous task but I see know way of modifying the cell in InDesign to point it to the next row in Excel. That's my first problem.
My second problem is this. In the Excel sheet, the prices are formatted as UK currency and are therefore like this...
£2.00
£0.40
£1.43
£9.99
£0.99
£0.09
What I will require is once I import that data (and refresh the data via a newly saved Excel file) is that the prices end up like this...
£2.00
40p
£1.43
£9.99
99p
9p
So if the value is lower than £1.00 it needs a trailing 'p' added and the leading zero and '£' sign stripped off. If the value is lower than £0.10 it also needs the zero after the decimal point stripping off.
Then formatting wise, the '£' sign needs to be superscripted and the same for the 'p'. This I am assuming could be done via GREP?
In summary, can anyone help with the first task of referecing the Excel cells on a cell by cell basis, given that it is the same cell column each time, but the next row down, and also point me in the right direction of the price formattting issues.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I would do this:
Create on line with the formatting.
Export as InDesign tagged text (TXT)
Read out these tags
In Excel exists a function to connect text from several cells and predfined text, there connect the content from cells with the paragraph styling tags. Do it in a seperate sheet. (Better would be to use a database like Access, there you can link your Excel sheet).
Export this sheet as txt file
Place this sheet as tagged text (there is an option in one of the sialog boxes).
In preferences < file handling you can specify that Tablecalculation Sheets and text is not embedded but linked, turn it on.

How to export long formatted text from SAP to an excel Cell

I have created an object(ZMM_TXT_PD) and an ID(Y01) using se75 transaction.
With a Z program a store some lines in STXH table with object ZMM_TXT_PD and ID Y01.
These texts are very long and formmated.
Now I need another Z program in order to download all the stored texts in an excel file.
I have a program which is able to download an internal table to an excel. The problem is that
it only works with short texts. How could I download a long text that I get using READ_TEXT function
into an excel cell?
READ_TEXT returns an internal table like this:
i_tline TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline.
Thanks in advance.

Excel cell border disappears when converting to PDF (continued)

Continuing from http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4dd40 which was archived already.
I too am getting the problem in which Excel cell borders are disappearing from cells with a background color. Lowering the resolution to 300 dpi does not help.
The borders are definitely disappearing. Printing the worksheet from Excel 2003 prints the cell borders. Printing the worksheet from the resulting PDF does not. I created the PDF using the Create PDF macro that Acrobat 9 adds to Excel.
Here's the really odd thing: it only affects two adjacent cells in the same (first) row of the worksheet. Other cells with the same background color in the same columns or the same row are not affected, nor are the cells in other rows or columns.
Copying similar cells that don't have the problem, then re-converting doesn't help.

I just tested inserting a blank row 1 in the spreadsheet, moving the problem cells to C2 and D2, but the borders still disappear from those cells.
Restoring back to C1 and D1, I note that if I copy the cell formats to other worksheets, the problem cells lose their borders on all worksheets.
I then tested what happened if I specified No Color for C1 and D1. The problem transferred to cells G1 and H1, which had then become the first adjacent cells with background color.
Restoring the background color to C1 and D1 transferred the problem back to C1 and D1, and removed the problem from G1 and H1.
Next, I gave cell A1 a background color of white. This removed the problem from cells C1 and D1, and gave it to A1.
Finally, I turned accessibility tagging off and that made the problem go away. However, I need tagging as we must post accessible documents.
So now I have a consistent way to describe the problem: cell borders disappear from the first set of contiguous cells with background colors if tagging is turned on. I'm going to file this as a bug.

Expand Range referencing an excel cell

Hi,
I am creating an input schedule that should sort with a certain property.
This property is derived from the entity's id eg.. S_Property, I use excel to remove the 'S_' and just return the word 'Property' which is then a property which I filter the account structure.
Is it possible to reference an excel cell, eg =A20 in the memberset part of the expand range?
I do the excel formula to remove the S_ in cell A20, as property="Property", and now I just want to reference cell A20 in the memberset part.
If I reference the cell, all members in my account dimension gets returned. When I physically type in the words then it works fine, but when I reference the cell, then it doesn't work.. Is there another way I can get the value in cell A20 then into the memberset part?
Hope someone can help.
Regards
Henry

Dear Henry Pieters,
I just give you the information that the memberset cell can refer the certain cell which you mentioned. Please you have to change the format cell of memberset is "General" and the reference cell is "Text". Maybe you can use the Ms.Excel function TEXT( ) or using single quotation mark (').
Thanks,

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 export to excel - cells not suppressing

When exporting a table to Excel, cells are repeating in the excel report, despite the fact that these columns are set to "Suppress" in Column Format.
The values are suppressed in the table on the dashboard, the values are suppressed when we export to PDF, but when we export to Excel suppression is not working.
We have another report where suppression is working fine when exporting to excel so it does not seem to be due to which excel version we are using.
The suppression in excel worked fine in 10g for this report, and when we migrated to 11g, that is when it stopped working.
When comparing the two different reports, we can't find any difference in properties that could affect the suppression.
Any ideas on what we can do to fix this?
Best Regards
Joel

FORMAT Excel Colums using ABAP

Hi ,
I need to format excel rows and columns .
Ex: I need to add border to the entire table and not just the title .
I used CALL METHOD of wf_range 'BorderAround'
EXPORTING
1 = 1
2 = 4 .
This puts a box around the cell. What i want to do this for multiple cells and not handle it at for each cell.
like if my range is E1 to F3 then border is around ever cell. A2 A3 F2 F2 and not just around A2 to F3.
Please help

Hi.
You can record macros in excel and look at generated visual basic code. Then you should convert it into ABAP code.

Can't place formatted Excel file into ID?

Can't place formatted Excel 2010 data base into InDesign CS5 on Mac? Won't place into newest version of ID either. Will place if I unmerge cells first, but I need thousands of the cells to be merged.

I thought you might want to do that. No, once a PDF you can't edit to your heart's content.
So, as to the matter of thousands of cells? You may have to look that one up but there is a limit on what you can do with an Excel file and InDesign; there are only so many cells, columns and rows that can be imported and let alone worked on inside InDesign.
And you want to merge the cells in InDesign? What ever for? If thousands of cells then edit in Excel to your heart's content and output a PDF. InDesign is not designed as a spreadsheet and not the tool you need and will really bog down with thousands of cells to merge. Just do it in Excel.

Remove Email Addresses From a Formatted Excel File

I have an excel file that has some formatting in it that I
would like to preserve (some cells have background color, etc). I'd
like to remove a list of email addresses from this file. My first
thought is to use cffile with action read, use the following in a
cfloop: replace(emailAddressToDelete,
excelFileVarCreatedFromCffileRead) and then save it back to excel
format with cffile using action write. I tried this and the Excel
file would not open. The error was:
test.xls cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or
you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server
the document is stored on may not be responding.
I'm guessing something went wrong in the process of reading
and writing the files contents and it's not as simple as I want to
make it. Anyone have something to tell me that might help me remove
email addresses from a formatted Excel spreadsheet?

Yup, .xls is a proprietary encrypted file format and
<cffile.... is not
going to be able to successfully read and modify it's
content. You can
copy it or move it, but not modify it with <cffile...>
If the file format was a plain text such as .txt or .csv you
could do
what you are thinking about, but then you would probably not
have the
proprietary excel formating in the file.
I've heard about the POI library that allows some native
Excel access
and such, but I am not knowledgeable in its ins and outs.

Dimension Overrride with Two properties referencing Excel Cells

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a Dimension override as the one below. It works fine. I can reference two properties and one of them is an Excel cell:
=EPMDimensionOverride(D31;"D_PO";"P_ALOC_NR=03 AND P_CTRY="&D3)
However, I would like to add some flexibility to the first property, too. I would like to also reference it to another Excel cell instead of hardcoding the value 03. I've been trying several commands but nothing seems to work.
Any clue? BPC NW 10.0 Add-in SP17
Thanks,
Alberto Sabate

I think the issue was due to leading zero of the property value P_ALOC_NR=03
Try "P_ALOC_NR=""03"" AND...
Or "P_ALOC_NR='03' AND...
Ups, sorry, the linked cell has to be formatted as text to accept 03 without conversion.
