Generate Excel file via code

Hi,
I know the user can export an Excel file once the report viewer is loaded, but I was wondering if it's possible to generate an Excel file via code (no viewer loaded)?
thanks,
Ron

Yup.
You can find export samples in our [Crystal Reports .NET SDK samples|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary?rid=/library/uuid/d0bf8496-2a81-2b10-95ac-b1f48d5b63f5]

Not able to generate excel file locally

Hi guys,
My web server & database server are on 2 different systems. I am trying to generate excel file locally but the excel is getting generated on server. Output path is
c:\\" + output + ".xls
There is no problem anywhere else in code. If a user on any system is trying to generate excel file it's getting
generated on server in C drive. But the excel should generate on local system of that particular user.
Is this code fine?
\\c:\\" + output + ".xls

It's on intranet, so security is not an issue.Yes, it is. Because of the inherent security problems, servers just plain can't do that. Do you think there's an "I'm running in an intranet" flag in your server? If there was, then bad guys would just set that flag on and write malware to any client that connected. Intranets aren't an excuse for sloppy security.
Do I need to download the file from server?That's what I said.

Date formatting issue when sending excel file via mail

hello People ,
I am facing date issue .
I have inetrnal format of date as yyyymmdd.
I am converting it into YYYY-MM-DD.
CONCATENATE gs_output-end_date(4)
                    gs_output-end_date+4(2)
                    gs_output-end_date+6(2)
                    INTO lv_date_to SEPARATED BY gc_seperator. " gc_separator = '-'.
        gs_output-end_date = lv_date_to.
I am writing this date and sending an excel file via MAIL . I get date result as MM/DD/YYYY always.
Now if i pass in YYYY.MM.DD and used the same code where gc_separtor = '.'.
I get output as YYYY.MM.DD.
Can any one give me an idea why in format YYYY-MM-DD it is getting overwritten but for yyyy.mm.dd it gives me as yyyy.mm.dd?
Regards,
Abhi..

Thanks , Rohit ,
I have change my date format in SU01 settings .
It is now made to [ YYYY-MM-DD] but still '-' is replaced by MM/DD/YYYY.
Also note that when i format in the following way
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date.
instead of
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date sepearted by '-'.
I get output as YYYYMMDD.

Hello soussou97,
My approach is to save the values of your first and second column (the columns you want to sort your values with) in ArrayLists and then use dynamic variables to save the actual content. Look at the following code. It should be able to display the information
you need.
#Specify the path of the excel file
$FilePath = 'Path\file.xlsx'
#Specify the Sheet name
$SheetName = "Sheet"
# Create an Object Excel.Application using Com interface
$objExcel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
# Disable the 'visible' property so the document won't open in excel
$objExcel.Visible = $false
# Open the Excel file and save it in $WorkBook
$WorkBook = $objExcel.Workbooks.Open($FilePath)
# Load the WorkSheet 'BuildSpecs'
$WorkSheet = $objExcel.sheets.item($SheetName)
# I am taking row count as 2, because the first row in my case is header
$intRow = 2
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$farr = @()
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$sarr = @()
Do {
# Reading the first column of the current row
$First = $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 1).Value()
# Reading the second column of the current row
$Second = $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 2).Value()
# Reading the third column of the current row
$Third = $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 3).Value()
"First: " + $First
"Second: " + $Second
"Third :" + $Third
if($farr -notcontains $First){
$farr.Add($First)
if($sarr -notcontains $Second){
$sarr.Add($Second)
$variable = Get-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -Scope Global -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($variable -eq $null)
Write-Host "$First-$Second does not exist"
New-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -Value $Third
else{
$val = Get-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -ValueOnly
Set-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -Value $val","$Third
$intRow++
}While ($WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1).Value() -ne $null)
foreach($dec in $farr){
foreach($city in $sarr){
$variable = Get-Variable -Name "$dec-$city" -Scope Global -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($variable -ne $null){
$dec+"--"+$city+"--"+$variable.Value;
my sample data looks like this
col1 | col2 | col3
abc | qwe | poi
abc | jhg | dfg
de | wer | rew
de | iuz | mnb
abc | qwe | iop
de | wer | asd

How to generate excel file in oracle forms 10g on client machine

dear Sir,
I am using just file server(installed 10g dev suite) not a oracle application server,
I am running my application from another machine ,it running fine i want to generate excel report on client machine
presently i m using OLE2 for fetching the data in excel , it is working fine but it generates the excel file on file server machine and i want get the output excel on the client machine. aftre OLE2 i m using CLIENT_OLE2 with webutil (instead of OLE2) its get compile successfully but during runtime it give error "oracle.forms.webutil.ole.OleFunctions bean not "found.CLIENT_OLE2.create_obj will not work"
*so please tell me without oracle application server is this possible or not .*

your webutil on server side is not configured
you need to re install the webutil jacob.dll files etc. then it will work fine..
you can also generate excel file using reports to change the destination format in SPREADSHEET

How to generate excel file as output using OWB

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate an excel file as output using OWB.
I am trying for a direct approach to create excel files.
Though I know that excel can be created from a .csv file, I am looking for a direct approach to generate excel file without involving any .csv to excel conversion externally.
Regards,
Sri

so, we are trying to do it by the help of oracle heterogeneous services. In my opinion it is possible (it depends on feature of ODCB Excel driver)
For more details look at thread (it is about MS SQL Server but maybe it helps)
Oracle to SQL SERVER

"Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer

(apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs. This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available. This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed". This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file. This only happens
when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
is the closest to our problem. In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened. But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE. This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE. Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
though it isn't running in the IE window. When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead. Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem. I could change the
links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case. In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open). For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
End Sub
2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In. I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters. Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
Public Class ThisAddIn
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
End Sub
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
MsgBox("Workbook open")
Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox(Err.Description)
End Sub
End Class
3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
<html>
<body>
<a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
</body>
</html>
6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
- Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
- Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
- Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
- Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
- Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
- Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
Any ideas / suggestions?

Hello Wayne,
Apologies for the delay.
I went through your post and tried to reproduce the issue. I was able to reproduce it. Based
on its complexity and as it requires more in-depth analysis, your question falls into the paid support category which requires a more in-depth level of support.

Hi,

Next thing is how to use it:
declare

begin
create_file(k_file);

close_file;

Don't forget: these procedures are all part of the gen_xl_xml package.
To call them from outside the package, you have to prefix each procedure name with the package name, like this:
declare
k_file constant varchar2(30) := 'YourFile.xls'
begin
gen_xl_xml.create_file(k_file);
-- Call other procedures
gen_xl_xml.close_file;
end;

Attaching generated excel file in cfmail

Hi,
I've attached the code in which I've generated an excel file
from my data, which the user can then open/save on their PC. I now
want to attach this excel file to an email (using cfmail) and send
it (the task will then become scheduled).
How do I save rather than output the excel file?
Katie

Hi,
Have a look at the following tags:
1)
<cfsavecontent> to generate a variable from your
tab-delimited content
<cffile action = "write"> to generate a temp file with
your content
<cfmail> and attach that file to your email
or
2)
<cfsavecontent>
<cfmail>,<cfmailpart> to attach the variable
directly to the email without creating a temp file first (have not
tried that myself)
cheers,
fober

RemoteMartException exception while saving generated Excel file

I am getting RemoteMartException exception while saving generated Excel report in our production system. We are using Brio query and classes in sqrib package to create an excel file.
We did NOT make any changes in the application code recently, suddenly this problem started coming, We also observed that only limited number of users are affected. For other no issues.
Is there any change in directory properties such as “owner” would result in this behavior? How to find out the location of user directories where the reports are getting stored?

Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?

christian

I need to generate the excel file with diffrent sheets . Currently I am generating the data in three diffrent excel files
and my requirement is to generate this in a single excel file with diffrent sheets.
Please help on this
Thanks & Regards,

I'm not able to realize how Oracle will help in the problem. You may probably want to look at some [.net forums|http://www.google.com.sg/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS280&q=.net+forums&btnG=Google+Search&meta=lr%3D] about this.

Saving Generated Excel Files

Hi guys,
I have a CF page that is generating an excel file from an
html table. ex:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
filename=excel1.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msexcel">
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2">
<tr>
<th>Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Data1</td>
<td>Data 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
When the page is run, it presents the user with an excel file
and asks if they would like to open it or save it. I was wondering
if it's possible to save the excel file automatically. So, for
instance, I could have scheduled tasks running that generated and
saved an excel report without user input. Any idea on how this can
be done? I assume it involves cffile in some way but I haven't been
able to figure it out. Thanks!
