  • Help! How to read data from an Excel file?

    Hi,
    I need to read data from an Excel file that may contain more then one table in a sheet. How can I read them?
    I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can give me any information.

    Did you try POI from Apache?

  • Reading data from an excel file

    Hi,
    I want to read data from the excel file and display it in

    You might want to look at the POI project (an open source Jakarta sub-project) that allows you to create/modify/read excel files via Java code. That might be more flexible and easier than what you're currently trying to do.

  • GUI_UPLOAD to read data from an Excel File

    Hi Folks,

  • Read all cells from an Excel file?

    Hi!
    I'm trying to read every cell from an Excel spreadsheet file, e.g.
    test.xls. The example in the NI Dev Zone (ActiveX Read Cells from
    Excel2000 VI) works if you know in advance what the first and last cell
    are, e.g. A1 and E453.
    The trouble is that the number of rows & columns in the file will vary;
    the last cell of 1 file might be E453, another might end at F29.
    How can I programmatically read every cell in the file? I thought of 2
    approaches:
    1: Find an ActiveX property that returns the last cell (or last row and
    last column).
    2: Use some other way to read an .xls file, maybe not by launching Excel
    but by using another program ...
    The NI applications engineer couldn't find a reasonably easy solution,
    so I'd w
    elcome any input.
    Thanks! Mark

    Mark,
    I haven't been able to find out if there is an ActiveX property or method the excel exposes to be able to do this ... searching on http://msdn.microsoft.com didn't return anything particularly useful.
    I've tried this sort of thing a couple of different ways. The simplest is if I have control over the file generation code, in that case I've just used the first row A1 and B1 to contain the number or rows and columns respectively and moved on from there.
    If that isn't a possibility then you could enter nonsense data around the acutal data and then look for that and then resize the array. This could get pretty slow if you read row by row, I've somtimes read chuncks of rows and then adjusted the next read and and combined arrays. With a large data set the memory and s
    peed implications do need to be looked at.
    The last thing is what you are referring to in 2. You should be able to save the .xls file as a comma delimited file. In this case the "Read for Spreadsheet File" vi should be able to just read all the data in. I'm not sure how easy it is to export an .xls file to a comma delimited format programatically.
    I think this should work all though I haven't tried it. If it doesn't then you could just read one row and then count the number of commas to determine the number of columns. You can then read the entire file and convert the data into an array, as every comma would separate each column and a carriage return would seperate each row.
    Haven't got LabVIEW on this machine so if I find anything new tomorrow I'll post again.

  • Reading & writing from MS Excel files in Webdynpro ABAP

    Dear experts,
    We have a requirement to read and write from an MS excel file in a Webdynpro ABAP based application. The application would be deployed on WAS (Web Application Server) which is running as part of SAP ECC on UNIX platform.
    What is not clear is
    1) If we store the MS Excel template on the server which has UNIX, will the file be recognised for reading/writing programmatically in Webdynpro ABAP? If this works, we have a requirement where the end users will download the excel template and upload the same after filling data into the excel file. The data filled into the excel has to be read and updated in the SAP backend (ECC).
    2) There is an article on "Modifying Excel using WD ABAP" at the following link
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/ModifyingexistingexcelsheetusingWDABAP
    But again it is not clear whether this approach will work on Unix based SAP server (ECC WAS).
    Thanks
    Suresh

    I don't know if there is an application in Unix that can read Excel files - if that is what you are asking.  However that has nothing to do with this forum.  If you are uploading the file to ABAP using Web Dynpro ABAP, then it doesn't matter what Operating System the server is running on.  Unix, Linux, Windows - all the processing is done in ABAP and is OS independent. The actual reading of the file in ABAP involves reading either an XML or Text Tab Delimited version of the Excel file however - if you read through the links on manipulating Excel in ABAP.

  • How to read data from many excel files

    I'm aquiring data continusly from several sensors, and every days file name are changed. Data are saved on xls files.
    Now, I'd like to read every data from this files and put them in a waveform. How can I concatenate all files and read the values?

    You probably do not want to use a traditional waveform. LabVIEW has a Waveform Chart which inputs one point at a time. Waveform Graph inputs an array.
    I suspect that the data is stored in an array. You need to read the arrays in and build them into larger arrays. If your right click on the build array vi, you can select concantenate which will append one array to the end of the other. When you have built your giant array, just feed it to a waveform graph.
    If you need to see some example code, go to the advanced search page. It is at www.ni.com >> support >> advanced search (it is at the botton--click on the words). Enter excel read in the all the words field and search just the example programs. There were for hits.

  • How do I display a few cells from an excel spreadsheet

    Can a page be created that sets a field that displays
    information located in an excel spreadsheet located on a different
    server?
    Basically there is a cell within an excel spreadsheet that
    gets updated daily, and I want the coldfusion to reflect the change
    real time.
    I can see the excel file using this code:
    <cfhttp method="get" url="
    http://test/test.xls"
    throwonerror="yes">
    <cfoutput>#CFHTTP.filecontent#</cfoutput>
    </cfhttp>
    But it shows up as a bunch of gobblygook on the screen. How
    can I detail it down to only 2 cells in the spreadsheet, and make
    it look normal?

    If you know Java, you can use POI:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
    It's fairly easy to use, but I haven't written anything
    that's general enough to do something like "Give me cell A2 from
    this Excel file". Everything I've done with it has been specialized
    to the specific task at hand.

  • I want to read and use some informations from a excel file

    To test a graphic, i need to take a lot of numbers  in a excel file...
    but i dont know how to open and read this file but i dont know how...
    thx for your help...

    Hello,
    You can open, read, and even write excel files (if you write a file with extension .xls, windows will interpret it as an excel file be default) using the File I/O VIs in LabVIEW.  To extract the data, all you really need to realize is that spreadsheets programs like excel store data with the following basic rules:
    1. the entire spreadsheet is really just a large string - to read them, you just have to know the data you read is stored based on rules 2 and 3; to write them you just have to conform to rules 2 and 3.
    2. cells in a given row are delimited by tabs (usually by default) and sometimes commas (but usually only if you set this specifically in the spreadsheet program)
    3. rows are delimited by end of line characters, which will usually be one carriage return and one linefeed character in that order on windows.
    In fact, for writing spreadsheet strings (which can be opened in excel) from LabVIEW, check out the Array to Spreadsheet String and Spreadsheet String to Array functions in the String Palette.  That is, if you imagine the excel spreadsheet as a 2D array, those functions will essentially convert between the large string, and a 2D array in LabVIEW containing the values you would see in excel's corresponding cells.
    I have attached a program that will use the array to spreadsheet string function to write an excel file containing those values - it will be named test.xls and should be on your C: drive directly.  A good exercise to get started would be to write a VI using similar (some inverse) functions to read that string, and convert it back to an array.
    I hope this helps!

  • Is there any way to read the data from an excel file w/o using a loop structure?

    I am retrieving a large amount of data (multiple sheets) from an excel file and would like to extract the entire range without retrieving individual cell values(too slow). I can write an range all at once but cannot read it.

    If you are able to write a block of data, then you should be able to read a block. The four requirements that you want to verify are:
    1. The Range specified must match the exact size and location of the data block you want to read
    2. The returned data is in a 2D array of Variants (either strings or numbers)
    3. Use Variant to Data to convert to 2D DBL or 2D Strings
    4. Check for the correct orientation for your application (use transpose if it is not)

  • Read a Column from an Excel file

    Guys,
    Is there a way I can read a specific column from an excel file, use that data to query and select data from a table and then insert the output into another column of that same excel file.
    Please advise! Thanks

    > Is there a way I can read a specific column from an excel file, use that data to query and select data from a
    table and then insert the output into another column of that same excel file.
    Not easily. An Excel file is typically in a proprietary binary file format. Perhaps saved using the new MS Office XML format.. which would be possible to process via Oracle's XDB.
    But assuming it is in a binary format, you need "something else" to read and parse that file for you - like ODBC or DDE or COM/DCOM, etc.
    Oracle supports Heterogeneous Database Services. On a Windows Server, you can create a database link in Oracle that uses an ODBC driver to connect to an ODBC data source. There are ODBC drivers for Excel. However, this requires the data in the worksheet to be properly marked as a data table. Or did last time I looked at it about 2 years ago.
    You can also call external "interfaces" from PL/SQL using EXTPROC - such interfaces can be DLLs. Which means you do have access to the Win32 API and application APIs from PL/SQL. This can be used to access the content of an Excel file - DDE for example can quite easily do this (you use it to peek the contents of an Excel grid location), but requires Excel to be running and that spreadsheet to be loaded. DDE can also be used to poke contents (write something back to a cell in a spreadsheet).
    But using Oracle code to use an Excel file as a kind of database file... that IMO does not make a lot of sense. At all.

  • How can I create multiple QR Codes from an Excel File?

    Hi there,
    I am currently trying to set up business cards with a QR Code on the back of each card. Therefore I have an excel spreadsheet, which contains all the data necessary for the business card like name, function, e-mail adress,... the data is then filled in automatically by using the standard function with tags for each column (e.g. table column name is filled in as <<name>> in the specific location on the business card and once executed it is matched with the data from the excel file).
    Is there anything which could help me to automate the personalization of the QR Codes?
    All the best

    For free? Not at the moment. CC does have the ability to create QR codes but only one at a time. In CS6 (perhaps earlier versions?), regular poster/advanced scripter Jongware devised a script to prepare a QR code but again, could only do one at a time.
    However, someone did build on Jongware's QR code to do this from an InDesign file that had the necessary information in tagged text boxes and would prepare QR codes accordingly. However, it would leave them in the InDesign file (e.g. not separate EPS/PDFs).
    So, a long workaround would be:
    install the script and read the thread on the adobe forums (jongware's QR code plus the additional improvement): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4787823#4787823
    data merge the current data into the indesign file using the similar structure as the fourth poster in that post had written
    once all the QR codes are written, create a PDF of the file and then use one of various methods to break up the PDF into single page files: http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-indesign-files-into-i ndividual-pdfs-that-is/
    It's a lot of work to generate multiple QR codes. A paid solution offered by either Meadows DPS or Woodwing (two companies I have no affiliation with whatsoever) or any other plug-in provider for that matter: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/indepth.displayTab3.html may be an alternative that is worth pursuing.
