Generating Date Time Stamped Excel Sheet

Hi
I am working on Data Logging project and requirement is to log data data to excel sheet at one per second. Moreover the name of excel sheet should be automatic date time stamp generated. Can anybody help me in generating datetime stamp file name for this file which I have downloaded from ni website.
Thanks

Your program does not create an Excel File. It creates a text file that Excel is able to open up and import.
As it is right now, the name of the file you create is determined by a dialog box that pops up with the old version of the Open/Create/Replace file that you have. If you want the program to determine the file name, you need to build a file path out of string data in the same manner you are using the string coming from the Get Date/Time String function you have inside the loop.

Save the file and give date & time stamp

1. Reading the Excel file from the selection screen as a parameter.
2. Using F.M. ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE reading Excel file into
    Internal table.
3. Implementing the Business Logic.
4. Move output to Final Internal table.
5. Final internal table should generate a Flat file. By using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
6. That flat file should be saved with the name and location given in the Excel.
7. When ever I run the program output file will generate in the same location but with date and time stamp. Because Im running the program for range of employees say initially I run for 1 10,000 employees next 10,001- 20,000 like that.
Whenever I run for 2nd time it will overwrite the previous output, thats the reason Im using date and time stamp.
Eg:
PERSONAL Numbers              Name                                         Location
00000001                 xxxxx-24.04.2007-10.30          C:\
00000002                 xxxxx-24.04.2007-10.35
00000003                 xxxxx-25.04.2007-10.40
00000004                                  xxxxx-25.04.2007-10.30
Can any one help me how to save the file and give date & time stamp through hardcode?
please help me in this issue.

I am not clear with your problem. Based on the understanding of your question,
there can be two cases.
1- U want to insert time stamp in the output file.
2- Time stamp is already there, u just have to solve the overwriting issue.
If your question goes with option 2, You can make use of import parameters
<b>CONFIRM_OVERWRITE</b> : Which will ask for confirmation before overwriting.
<b>APPEND</b> : which you can choose either to append the data to the existing file or overwrite it.
Please inform if the issue is not resolved.

Error while download the data to an Excel sheet for ECC report from EP

Hi experts,
I had created a report program which will download the data to an Excel sheet using SAP OLE object
For this report i had created a tcode too. The report which i developed is perfectly working fine in SAPGUI. But if i download the data to an Excel sheet for the same report throught SAP EP.I am getting the error that "Error in excel downlaod"
I analyed by putting dubigg point and it throws exception while calling Function module.
The excpetion is " OLE object id not found".
Can any body gives a light on this why i'm not able download the excel in ep?
Thanks,
JB

Hello,
(by the way I came here to ask my question and is my first time visit but...)
The problem is obvious: How do you expect OLE handler can "touch" the local PC Excel through a web browser? I believe that is not possible. That means (at least for me) that I have to create the whole documents before I return them to the user. That is why I use XML Office documents generation or you can try to hack some Export to excel features of ERP reports.

Add Date/Time Stamp to Timecode Effect

The Timecode effect of CS5 Premiere Pro is a very useful feature. However, it is missing a Date/Time Stamp. I would encourage everyone to submit a feature request for this. I have enclosed one I submitted. You can cut and paste it into the Feature Request Submission Form.
Feature Request Submission Form
Feature Request: Add Date / Time Stamp to Timecode Effect
The Timecode effect of CS5 Premiere Pro is a very useful feature. However, the Timecode effect is missing the ability to also display the Date/Time Stamp from Premiere captured video. This is a very important feature to include. Many videographers are archiving their miniDV tapes as AVI files since disk prices have become affordable. When I retrieve archived AVI files, I often need to look at the Date/Time Stamp, but unfortunately, Premiere does not offer that ability.
I would encourage you to add Date/Time Stamp capability to the Timecode effect so timecode, date, and time could be displayed all at once, or selectively picked via checkboxes.
Others in the Premiere forum have requested this capability.

Hopefully, you could add this as an update to CS5. And hopefully, as soon as possible. Thanks

I am fairly new to Adobe CS6 however I have to totally disagree with some of the replies here on this subject. The package cost me well over £1200 and I expect a say in improving it along the way if I am to progress on to CS Cloud. The suggestion that engineers could spend their time elswere is total rubbish,its what they are well paid for..to listen to consumers suggestions and act on them (I am paying for their time). I would for one love to see the simple add in plug where the original date/time code could be added and burned into the video timeline. It is obvously not something needed by all but for some it could be essential. For my work I entirely rely on the original date/time code to be visible and burned in. My work is editing surveilance video and I also have to pixellate all faces of young persons so the addition of a date and time code plug in is something I would like to see in After Effects and Premier. Adobe add hundreds of filters/plug-ins that nobody in the world are likely to ever see or use or even asked for, so I cant't see why it would be a big task for them to include it in CS6 or Cloud for the future, especially as many ask for it.
On the suggestion of DVMPro, yes this is an excellent package which I already use along with vATS (which is quicker), however the big downside for both these programmes is they do not combine the clips so if I put in 60. mts clips I will get out 60 clips of what ever format I picked (limited to AVI/Wmv/AVCHD). You would then need combine and re-render the clips or work along the timeline with lots of clips (obviously not in AE as it wont combine clips along one layer....at least I cant see a way to do it (no doubt will be flamed on that one)
Sony vegas 11 also does not have the capability neither to add and burn in the original timecode however there is an excellent and tiny .dll third party extension called SVDTS that will add the original time/date/seconds to the timeline and burn in to the video. My point on this comparison is that it would not take a lot of time and work for a capable Adobe enineer to develop and implement such a plug in.
A crude way and free to actually achieve this is to use Freemake Video Converter, add all your .mts (or what ever format they are so long as its original), turn on the Subtitle 1 option for each clip (no batch turn on Im afraid) and chose to join the clips for output to what ever file format you choose. The original timecode and date will be on your output video clip, not as pretty as DVMPro or vAts but is there and accurate.

Auto Date/Time stamp required for Numbers 3.1

I would like to automatically add a Date/Time stamp to the last column's cell, when a person's name is selected from the pop-up menu in Column C.
As a number of different people will be using the spreadsheet, I'd prefer not to have a keyboard short cut, as it can be easily overlooked.
I was wondering if it were possible to use a script to copy a cell's (column D) results, containing the 'NOW()' or 'TODAY()' function, and paste the results into the 2nd cell (Column E), allowing the last column's formula to reference the 2nd cell?
The formula in the last cell =if($C2="","",$E2) can then reference a static cell, rather than a live cell.
I know enough to be dangerous, so I'm not sure if i'm heading in the right direction.
Thanking you all in advance.

Hi Gordon,
Is this the same as a script?
Good question! It's fun to see people try to define what a service is. It may be one of the least understood and appreciated features on the Mac. It was certainly a mystery to me not long ago.
I think of a service as anything that can be made to appear in the Services menu. Apple has made that easy with Automator. You fire up Automator, create a new service "workflow" document, plop in a script, save, and see the result immediately in the Services menu. You can also send the .workflow package to someone else, who only needs to double-click to install it.
This particular date-time service contains a short AppleScript (you can view it by opening the .workflow in Automator. But other languages (Python, Perl, etc) and Unix utilities can be used too, as illustrated here.
Since Numbers has decent support for AppleScript, it is quite easy for the non-technical user to "bolt on" menu choices to do quite sophisticated things that are not built into the interface itself. I find it more accessible than (and just as powerful as) the VBA used for Excel macros. But that could be mostly a matter of familiarity. In any case, it adds a whole new dimension to Numbers.

Error messages when sending date-time stamp to Oracle Database

I have a complex application that communicates with an Oracle database. One of the table values that gets written to the table is a date-time stamp. Until recently, the user only required a date, and this was never an error. (The format String used was %d-%b-%Y) Now they need a time-stamp as well, so I attempted to edit the format string input of the format date/time string function to include the time. I have tried numerous format strings, each of which returns an error on execution. Depending on which format I use, I get one of 3 different error messages. The really odd thing is that both the date and time always get stored in Oracle without any problem (regardless of what date-time I use, as long as I include the date and any part of a time stamp - I get the entire timestamp even if I only include %I for the hour). The only issue is that LabVIEW generates an ODBC error if I try to include the time to the date-time stamp. In other words, teh date/time stamp writes to the Oracle database, but an ODBC error occurs every time. I've included a word doc with screen captures of the format strings used, the resultant date/time stamps written to Oracle and the error messages generated within LabVIEW. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Summary of ODBC Error messages related to date-time stamp.doc ‏65 KB

Oracle has a standard date format: 12-Mar-2009 that it accepts as a string, but if you want more than that, you need to use the todate() function. I used this string going into the standard LabVIEW ''Format date/time sting vi'
to_date('%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MIS') to create the value needed for Oracle.
Then I use standard format string to create SQL: insert into mytable (mydate) values(%s) and select * from my table where mydate = %s using the string above for %s.
I think you can also define a global format for all time strings but I haven't bothered figuring that out.

Maintain Date/Time Stamp in Export as XML

Hello,
I've create a report which has a field as mm/dd/yyyy HH:mm.
When I export as .TXT .CSV, Excel ect it maintains the format; however when I export as XML I loose the formate and it exports as mm/dd/yyyy 12:00:00
The below in anyother format or in BusinessObjects would be 09/04/2007 10:38.
<COLUMN INDEX="6" ID="4" TYPE="Date" FORMAT="m/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM">Actual Start (Date & Time)</COLUMN>
<CELL INDEX="6">9/4/2007 12:00:00 AM</CELL>
Any thoughts?
As well is it possible to customize tags of the exported XML so it is more of a XML document then a spreadsheet.

Thank you!
For the issue with the Date/Time stamp is this a bug in older versions? I am using BusinessObjects 6.1; the only time it does this is when exported as XML
Cheers,
Tim

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

Three methods:
File>process multiple files>labels. Be sure to uncheck "same as source", or the originals will be overwritten. It is best to work on duplicate files, esp. while learning.
Use the horizontal or vertical type tool to add the information manually to each picture file
If the same information is to be applied to several pictures, e.g. a copyright notice, use of a brush made in PSE is very efficient

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

How to put the data from one excel sheet in another excel sheet

hi ,
I want put the data from one excel sheet in another excel sheet in seq. order Eg: I have one excel sheet in which i have 3 col. Name , Sno. , Email along with data .I want to put data from this sheet to another excel sheet in the following orders of col. Sno,Name, Email .
While loading data in another sheet , i have to perform validation like char field should n't contain numeric values and vice versa .
Let me know on this soon ..
regards
Prashant

Well, you can issue separate queries with the ordering you need from each tab in the spreadhseet. You can open an ODBC connection from a VBA macro, select a sheet, run a query, select another sheet and run another query. As for the validation, you can do this in Oracle via stored procedures or again in VBA code.

How do you vary the Date/Time stamp format in File Adapters

In the receiver channel of the File Adapter where you specify the 'File Name Scheme', you do have the option of specifying a 'File Construction Mode' of 'Add Time Stamp'. How can you specify a different Date/Time stamp format ( eg MM/DD/YY vs YYYYMMDD vs MMDDYY, etc. ) without changing the Date/Time stamp for the entire SAP system? Also, can you control where the Date/Time stamp appears in the filename?

Hi,
There are many threads discussing the same issue. Go thro the following:
Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter
Receiver File Adapter - TimeStamp
Bhavesh's reply in above thread:
You can use Adapter Specific Identifiers and then change the file name in the mapping. Append the tiem stamp in the format that you want and so on.
Just use this code in an UDF,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd" );
dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
String newfilename=SourceFileName+dateformat;
// change to new file name
conf.put(key, newfilename);
return "";

Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks
