Help with data merge from Excel

I think it's easiest to first explain the project...
I am working on a print project that has an excel file containing specific data per person. The data gives FirstName, LastName, Picture, About, Phone, etc. per person (over 100 people) I am making a 3 page InDesign template to generate each persons info.
The problem is the About column of data. The about column contains 2-3 paragraphs of text per cell. These paragraphs need to be formatted as separate paragraphs so that I do not have 1 continuous line of text. When I import the csv or txt (doesn't matter which way I save out the file) InDesign is not reading those paragraph breaks properly and all data after the first cell of About data is missing when I preview. If I remove the spaces in the About cell data it works perfectly.
I know large spaces in comma delimited data often cause problems (I work in prepress) and we usually remove all extra spaces from cells, but in this instance I need these spaces AND I need them to format properly in my InDesign template. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and will likely save me a great deal of work.
I am using CS2.
Thanks,
Patty

I did get your email, and as I posted above, I think Ken's suggestion to use the Rorohiko plugin will be more satisfactory than trying to completely rework your data file (though I don't have a complete picture of the file structure based on the PDF).
In order to get threaded text you must either flow it in as threaded text, or combine the separate frames. Since the plugin will do the latter in a matter of moments, and preparing the text file for autoflow if it needs major revision or is of any great length could take considerably longer (plus you will then need to run multiple find/change operations to re-format the specially prepared text), I didn't pursue asking for a sample of the data file.
Should you decide you want to modify the data, you will need to do something like move it into Excel, then most likely concatenate all of the fields that need to remain on a single line (using a special separation character (~, %, ! or other symbol that doesn't otherwise appear anywhere in your data that you can later change to a tab), leaving yourself with only cells for each individual line, and save as tab delimited text. This should give you a text file that looks like:
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Place the text file, then run a find change to convert tabs to forced line breaks (not end of paragraph), another to convert forced line breaks immediately followed by paragraph ends (or blank space if that's how it comes in -- I haven't tested to see what an empty cell looks like) to just paragraph ends to eliminate blank lines (I suppose you might also have blank lines in the middle, which would mean running a find change for consecutive forced line breaks with nothing between), and finally one to change your special joiner character to a tab.
This structure will allow you to use a nested paragraph style to format the different pieces of the directory in one operation, but as you can see it's fairly complicated to execute.

  • Problem with controlling Annotations from Excel VBA

    Hi,
    I have a PDF document that has plenty of sticky notes attached to it. These sticky notes have been added by multiple authors on all pages of the document. I am trying to import the contents of these sticky notes, their author and the page number to an excel spreadsheet.  I am using Excel 2007 and Acrobat Professional 9.0.
    This is the code that I am currently using to import the sticky notes, but the problem that I am facing is that when I run the macro -
    Same sticky note contents, author and page numbers are imported multiple times
    Not all sticky notes are imported, only some of them appear in the final excel spreadsheet
    When I compare the number of sticky notes to that in the original PDF file, the number is correct. But the content is repeated content and that is the reason why only some of the sticky notes are imported.
    This is an activity that I need to do on regular basis and the number of sticky notes that I need to import to excel may range between 100 to 200. It is really difficult to do this task manually, so an excel VBA macro could prove really helpful.

    Make sure you are current with 9.x patches, just on general principles.
    The code seems fine – nothing jumping out at me.
    You can also look at using the JSObject methods and trying this via the JavaScript stuff – that will give you more access to the Annotation information…

  • Assistance with Data Merge for product sell sheets

    Last year I started creating product sell sheets for our sales team. The sell sheet is built containg these elements: A product photo, a data table displaying product numbers, descriptions etc.. Underneath the photo and table is a text box. I have created a lot of these sell sheets for a variety of product categories. The prices are updated fairly often, maybe once every month or two. I created all of these using excel and Illustrator. Other than photoshop, Adobe products were forign to me and never looked into what indesign was capable of until now.
    I am wondering if the data merge feature would be a good fit for what I am doing. I would be more than happy to share my project files. I am asking for a little bit of hand holding here to expedite this process. Anyone out there willing to take a look and help me out??
    Project Files:
    PDF Sell Sheet created in Illustrator (would like to have the same look and feel but have the data automated in Indesign)
    Excel Data (Looking to reformat the way the data is displayed so that it would work well with Data Merge)

    I don' think data merge will lend itself well to that sort of layout. It's just not sophisticated enough. For datamerge, all the data for each module has to be in one row on your excel sheet. Example: The setup on top will yield the example below. The image has a placeholder in the far left.
    For your example, I think your best bet is to set up table styles. (table styles won't hold column widths, but there is a script that you can use for that: it's referenced in this thread. If you make good use of paragraph styles and table styles, it will still go much more quickly in InDesign.

  • How to repeat data with Data Merge?

    How can I repeat data in the same text block with Data Merge? I have an Excel file with a class schedule that I need to import but when I use Data Merge, it wants to create a new page for each line. I want to keep the data in one text block per page and use Data Merge so when I get the new Excel file, it will be easy to update. This seems like it would be a simple thing to do, but I can't find the answer. Can anyone help?

    Time for me to sound like a broken record. Data merge could be used for this but I don't think it was ever intended for such recurring publications like you are making. There will always be a lot of repetitive work that always will need to be performed after each update.
    Instead, I think you should read up on using an XML workflow. Now, the XML out of excel needs transformed to be viable inside ID. But that is reasonably easy and can be done in an XML editor or upon importing into ID. Though it has been set aside for a time, I am making an example of a college course catalog for a customer. I'll see if I can finish it off by the weekend. If so, I'll post it to this thread.
    Take care, Mike

  • Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

    Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
    I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
    Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
    someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

    Many thanks for the reply.

  • Strange Behavior with Data Merge (CS4) - Advice?

    This is the most bizarre behavior and I may have to chalk it up to a full moon or something since I can't reproduce it and I cannot find any hints as why this happened. This is my last attempt at figuring a solution...maybe someone has experienced this??? Anyway, here's what happened...
    I do a data merge for addressing envelopes. Been using the InDesign data merge feature for a couple of years now, no problems.
    My address list is approximately 1200. It's in a .csv file with the following fields: fname, lname, company, address1, address2, city, state, zip
    For my last mailing, approximately 300 addresses were merged wrong. Here's the crazy thing it did: instead of using the address1 field for the current record, it used the address1 field from the NEXT record, and ONLY the address1 field.
    Here's more bizarre-ness. The NEXT record was merged correctly.
    For example:
    Record 1 (address1 should be 555 Cherry Lane, Apt 5)
    John Smith
    Smith Company
    123 Main Street, Apt 5
    Small Town, CA 12345
    Record 2 (John Smith's address used THIS address1, but NOT address2 or any other field! Jane Doe's address is correct)
    Jane Doe
    Doe Company
    123 Main Street, Suite 300
    Big Town, TX 56789
    I've tested. I've looked for commonality in the records, where it's placed, if there was something unusual about it's format. I come up empty. The incorrect data seem randomly interspersed.
    One thing that I have to do is break up the actual merge. Either my computer memory or InDesign can't handle 1200 merge records. So, I merge approximately 200 records at a time (I make 6 print files). I don't know if this has anything to do with it (like I said, the incorrect data is interspersed all through out), but, thought I'd mention it.
    Any advice is appreciated. I'm hesitant to use it again until I can understand why this happened.
    thanks much,
    Kia

    CS was soemtimes flakey in this way with Data Merge.
    Are you updated to the latest patch? Most issues were resolved at some point.
    That said, I recall another user with this problem, and it never resolved with his particular file. I examined the data file and couldn't find any issues, but it behaved identically on my system tot he way it did on his so I can only conclude there was still some bug, or something about the data file that we were unable to detect. I seem to recall that the same data file merged correctly in CS3, but I don't recall if I saved it long enough to test in CS5. I've not had any issues with my own files in any version.
    Open the file in a plain text editor and look for any odd characters (I'd start the search where the merge first fails). Also do a Save As from the text editor to make sure there is no possibility of formatting from your spread sheet having found its way in.

  • Need Help with Dates

    I am printing a calendar and certain events will be helds on certain dates.
    One can edit the event if it has not passed the date. Events in the past can be viewed but not edited.
    When I query the database the date must be formatted dd-MMM-yy
    I am able to get today's date by doing this:
    java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
    String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
    String today_str = sdf.format(today);
    My code for printing the calendar: I left out some of the table formatting in the JSP page.
    GregorianCalendar d = new GregorianCalendar();
    int today = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    int month = d.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    d.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
    int weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    for(int i = Calendar.SUNDAY; i < weekday; i++)
    out.print("<td> </td>");
    do {
    int day = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    out.print("<td>" + day + "</td>");
    String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
    //if(event exists on this day
    // Get results
    // print link for viewing
    // if (after today) print link for edit
    if(weekday == Calendar.SATURDAY)
    out.println("</tr><tr valign=top>");
    d.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
    weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    } while(d.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month);
    if(weekday != Calendar.SUNDAY)
    System.out.println();
    The part I need help on is this:
    //if(event exists on this day
    // Get results
    // print link for viewing
    // if (after today) print link for edit
    I'm looping through each day of the month to print the days. I have the month, day, year as integers. How can I create a date object out of that and compare it to today's date to test if it's before or after today???
    All the function in the Date class that I think would do this have been deprecated.

    Need Help with Dates
    Here is some information about dates:
    There are many edible palm fruits, and one of the most widespread and favored of these is the data (Phoenix dactylifera). Dates were cultivated in ancient land from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 6000 B.C. Then--as now--dates were a staple for the natives of those dry regions. Much later, Arabs spread dates around northern Africa, and dates were introduced into California by the Spaniards in 1765, around Mission San Ignacio.
    The date prefers dry, hot climates, because date fruits are injured at temperatures of 20 degrees F, and the damp climate of the California coast was not favorable for fruit production. In the mid-1800s, the date industry developed in California's hot interior valleys and in Arizona. Now the date industry in the United States is localized mostly in the Coachella Valley, where the sandy soils permit the plants to be deeply irrigated. Today the new varieties, mostly introduced in this century, produce about 40 million pounds of dates per annum, or over 60% of the dates consumed in this country. The rest are imported mainly from Persia. According to one survey, about one million people are engaged entirely in date palm cultivation worldwide.
    Hope that helps.

  • Importing CSV file with Data Merge Fails

    Specs
    See pasted text from CSV at http://pastebin.com/mymhugpN
    I am using InDesign CS6 (8.0.1)
    I created the CSV by downloading it from a Google Spreadsheet as a CSV. I confirm with the Terminal that the character encoding is utf-8 usnig the file command.
    Problem detailed
    I am trying to import a CSV file (utf-8) with Data Merge via the Select Data Source... command with Show Import Options checked. When viewing the Data Source Import Options dialog, I set the following options—Delimiter:Comma, Encoding:Unicode, Platform:Macintosh. I leave Preserve Spaces in Data Source unchecked. It fails to import any variables and produces no error message. I have tried other CSV files as well (created TextEdit, Espresso, etc.) and it seems that InDesign will not import any files if Unicode is specified as the encoding, no matter which other options are specified.
    Can anyone else confirm this?
    Importing as ACSII works, but obviously does not display my content correctly.

    Mike is having some trouble posting in this thread (and I am too), but he sent me a PM with what he wanted to say:
    OK. I think I might have a positive answer for you.
    I was getting lost in the upper ASCII characters you showed. In your test file I never could see any--a case of not seeing the trees for the forest.
    Your quote marks are getting dropped in your test file. Now, this may or may not affect other factors but it does in some further testing. I believe ID has an issue with dropping quote marks even in a plain ASCII file if the marks are at the beginning of a sentence and the file is tab delimited. Call it a bug.
    Because of all the commas and quote marks in your simple file, I think you should be exporting from Google Docs' spreadsheet as a tab-delimited file. This exported file has to be opened in a text editor capable of saving it out as a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) type of file.
    Also, I think you are going to have to use proper quote marks throughout, or change them in the exported tab-delimited file. Best to have a correct source, though.
    Here is your sample ZIPped up. I think it works properly. But then again, I think I might be bleary-eyed by now.

  • Assign Color to a Box with Data Merge ?

    Hi. I have a simple question with the Data Merge feature.
    I made a template and one of the info in my spreadsheet is a reference to a musical style. But I want to make this reflect dynamically in my layout with a bullet with a color. For example, if the record is about Rock music, it will be labeled RED in my layout.
    Is there anyway to make that happen with data merge, or maybe with XML ??
    Thanks to help !

    there is a way throug xml, yes. but you would have to add extra code (attribute with unique value : the name of the paragraphstyle to be used) into the xml for every instance where you would need different colors.
    If you are interested, I could send you an example.

  • Problem with date format from Oracle DB

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
    I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
    I have changing the field settings in DataSource  to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
    I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
    If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Varada

    Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
    The issue again in detail
    I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
    The problem is,  I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
    I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
    I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.

  • Date conversion from Excel to the SAP format

    Hi,
    I have created a BDC program which uploads daat from Excel sheet.
    There is a date field also, the format of which can be any as per the end user (it will be one of those allowed by SAP).
    However, the file will be used for execution by another user who may have a date setting which is different than that from the one in Excel.
    Eg. End User's date format: DD.MM.YYYY, SAP User's date format: MM/DD/YYYY
    So, how do I convert the date format from excel to the format which will be accepted by the transaction during the recording?
    Regards,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    I have faced the same issue while uploading the date to the bdc.
    if ur date format is DD.MM.YYYY in the excel file, first of all you need to change this to dats format ie YYYYMMDD ie character8 format and pass to the bdc, it will automatically convert to sap format
    ie you need to convert splitting at .
    data lv_date type char10,
            lv_dd type char02,
            lv_mm type char02,
           lv_yyyy type char04,

  • Help with date validation on input boxes.

    I need some help with date validation on input boxes.
    What I�m trying to create is a form where a user inputs dates and then the rest of the form calculates the other dates for them.
    i.e. � A user inputs 2 dates (A & B) and then a 3rd date which is 11 weeks before date B is calculated automatically.
    Is this possible and if so how do I do it ???

    java.util.Date cDate = yourCalendar.getTime();Regards
