How import excel file as data sorce in OBISE Physical layer correctly?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to import an excel file as data source in OBISE Physical layer. I create the ODBC that link the correct file (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html#t1)
than imported the Excel using the import from database tool in the Oracle BI Adminstration. I see the Excel but i can't see data in it. Can you help me, please? I'm new in this.

Did you enter a range in excel file?
The range represents table name in the physical layer after you import excel file.
See in this blog example:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/06/obiee-excel-import-prepping-data.html
Did you use import from database and select excel data source that you created in ODBC?
I did the same and works for me.
Save repository first and view data and check connection pool/data source name in your excel database folder.
Regards
Goran

  • Import Excel file into SQL, using bulk copy - date issues

    Hello. I have a VB project where I need to import multiple excel files with lots of rows and columns into SQL 2012. Currently the import is set up, using OleDbConnection and insert commands and it takes up to 10 minutes to process all the spreadsheets.
    I'm trying to switch the code to use SQLBulkCopy, but experienced issues with dates columns. Some rows have Null dates and those are interpreted as strings and won't import into SQL tables. Is there a way to format the column prior to import programmatically?
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Note -
    If I add column mapping and exclude all dates columns - import works fine. All excel files have date fields, excel files are reports from other vendor and change on weekly bases, manual formatting of the excel files prior to import are out of the question...
    The code is just basic:
    Public Sub ImportFormExcelSample()
    Dim ExcelConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcelSpreadsheet.xlsx;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=Yes""")
    ExcelConnection.Open()
    Dim expr As String = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"
    Dim objCmdSelect As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(expr, ExcelConnection)
    Dim objDR As OleDbDataReader
    Dim SQLconn As New SqlConnection()
    Dim ConnString As String = "Data Source=MMSQL1;Initial Catalog=DbName; User Id=UserName; Password=password;"
    SQLconn.ConnectionString = ConnString
    SQLconn.Open()
    Using bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(SQLconn)
    bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "TableToWriteToInSQLSERVER"
    Try
    objDR = objCmdSelect.ExecuteReader
    bulkCopy.WriteToServer(objDR)
    objDR.Close()
    SQLconn.Close()
    Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox(ex.ToString)
    End Try
    End Using
    End Sub
    The error I get is System.InvalidOperatiomException: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type date of the specified target column. System.FormatException: Failed to convert parameter value from String to a DateTime...
    Thank you!

    Hi Alla,
    This issue might be caused because the field contains a NULL value, but the date/time columns in your table does not allow NULL values. Furthermore, please aslo take a look at "Data Type Issues" session in the article below:

  • Adding hyperlinks to imported excel file cells

    Good Afternoon All,
    I am having trouble assigning hyperlinks and defining names to the individual cells of an imported excel file (import into Visio). Ideally, I would like to be able to hyperlink shapes in other Visio pages (of the same
    workbook) to individual cells of the imported excel file and vice versa.  Is there any way of doing this? 
    Please let me know if I can clarify.

  • Importing excel files - problem with single quote

    When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
    When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
    Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
    REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
    REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
    REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
    REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
    REM Error report:
    REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
    REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
    REM *Cause:   
    REM *Action:
    One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?

    You first convert them to ProRes with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP, then import the ProRes files into FCP.  FCP doesn't work with the AVI container...footage must be Quicktime, and must be in a codec FCP works with.

    Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3.  That version deals with files from the NX5 the best.  If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com.  As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with.

  • How to see the tables which are in the physical layer of SampleAppLite rpd

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to OBIEE and I installed OBI Apps with Oracle 11g in my laptop. I tried to create reports using the OracleBIAnalyticsApps rpd. How can I know from which schema the tables are coming in the physical layer of the repository so that I can create a connection pool to the database. I got the default SampleAppLite rpd when I install the OBIEE but I am unable to see those tables in the database schema which are used in the SampleAppLite physical layer. Can anyone tell me how can I see the tables in the database which I see in the rpd. Actually my question may be wrong as I am new to this field, so please let me know if this is a wrong question. As I unable to express my question correctly. Thanks.

    For the OracleBIAnalyticsApps rpd - the tables are under "Catalog" then "dbo" in database "Oracle Data Warehouse" in the physical layer. The RPD comes out of the box with the required connection pools - you dont need to create any. The connection pools "Oracle Data Warehouse Repository Initblocks Connection Pool" and "Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool" in "Oracle Data Warehouse" read the data from the business analytics warehouse that you created in a schema name of your choosing with the DAC. All you need to do is edit the user name and password and the data source name with a connect string - which is the local net service name to your database for default call interface OCI 10g/11g assuming you used an Oracle database for your warehouse. One way to test the connection pool is to right click any table/alias then "Update Row Count".
    BTW Using the Admin Tool open the OracleBIAnalyticsApps rpd then do "Tools" then "Utilities" then "Repository Documentation" then "Execute". This will create a spreadsheet showing you all the mappings from the presentation to business to physical layers.

  • How do i import excel files from my pc to my iPad 2 numbers app

    i was able to import PDF files from my PC to my iPad; however, if i try the same method to import Word or Excel docuements, the files do not import after i sync.
    Successful method to import PDF files form my PC to my iPad:
    open iTunes
    select my iPad in devises
    click on Apps
    select PDF app under File sharing
    click on Add
    select file from appropriate folder in my PC
    file now shows under share File sharing
    Sync
    file shows in my iPad in my PDF app
    this method does not work for word or Excel docs
    I am selecting Numbers and Pages respectively
    your help is greatly appreciated.

    You could use Icloud to do it.
    Turn on Icloud on your ipad in settings, icloud. You can have everything off if you want in icloud, but documents and data turn ON. Then on your computer go to www.icloud.com. * Click Iwork, numbers. Then just drag the files into there.
    *Install the plug in if its a pc.
    Thats the way I do it, so I cant walk you through the steps the other way off hand. Someone else might.

  • Importing excel files linked to data

    Hi all,
    I have a client that wants to import Excel charts and graphs into InDesign and have InDesign maintain a link to the original dataset in Excel. In a perfect world she would like to update the data in Excel and have the information dynamically displayed in the InDesign chart. Word allows for this type of relationship, but from my research it doesn't look like this is possible with InDesign without using the InDesign Server and XML. Both of which I feel would be too much of an investment for this purpose. So at this point I would just like to confirm my suspicions or hear of any other ways I may not have thought of.
    Thanks.
    cscott

    We're also curious to know any current and/or creative solutions to this issue. Wondering if there are any other methods or experiences on this topic??
    We played with this a long time ago, and from my recollection, if any cells changed (adding, deleting, etc.) in the excel file, the process would break down. It had to be the IDENTICAL file, with only data changing.
    And we may also have tried the PDF from Excel method. But obviously, Excel is not known for it's styling capabilities. This is what we're using InDesign for. So this method probably won't work either.
    - Any other ideas? Plugins? Scripts?
    Thanks.
