How to edit a spreadsheet (excel file) in the portal?

Hello experts,
at the moment i am working on the requirement to edit a spreadsheet in the portal.
Until now i was able to display an excel file with the help of the 'KM Document iView (without content filter)'.
Everything is displayed alright and i can perform changes in the spreadsheet.
BUT: There is no such thing like a Save-Button or something like that. Does the SAP NW Portal already provide a solution for this requirement? Or will i have to develop an own application?
I have already searched the forums and sap help, but i haven't found any solution. I can't imagine that such an easy requirement would need coding.
Best Regards
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
I do not think you can do the task the way you want. You will have to look for some workaround that may be download the file, edit it and then upload it back. You will have to code in your application for that. If you want to do this way I can help you further to edit and save the excel.
Regards.

How to Edit Word and Excel file in N9

Hi, I can open the Ms Word and Ms Excel Files in N9 but I can not edit the text or Cells. Please advise the way to edit the text in the Word or Excel Files.

Apparently, Nokia considers it to be strange that someone want to edit documents on smartphone, and considering that most of the developers (who are able to produce office software) are not interested in MeeGo, we will not have this option available.

Keyboard help needed for spreadsheet / excel files!

When editing a spreadsheet / excel file, how do I keep the keyboard from switching back to numerical mode every time I press the space bar? When entering text into a cell, I need the keyboard to stay locked in alpha mode. I've tried both office hd and quick office, and in each one, every time I write a word and then press the space bar, it automatically goes back into the numerical keyboard mode.

How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
for that use code some thing like this.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
I think this will do the trick.

How do I save a excel file to be compatible...

How do I save a excel file from a pc to be compatible with my Mac?

Hi juicebars,
iWork is a productivity suite for Macs running OS or iThings running iOS. With a MacBook Pro you will need the OS version.
iWork consists of:
Pages, a word processor and page layout app (page layout mimics a drawing app). Pages can import Microsoft Word documents and you can edit and save them. Also Export as MS Word, PDF, plain text, RTF or ePub.
Numbers, a spreadsheet app that mimics a database. Numbers can import Microsoft Excel or CSV documents and you can edit and save them. Also Export as MS Excel, CSV or PDF.
Keynote, a presentation app. Keynote can open Microsoft Powerpoint. I don't use Keynote, so I can say no more.
You can buy the iWork suite from the App Store, or buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote separately.
There are some minor conversion glitches when converting between MS Office and iWork. If you are continually converting, it is best to buy Office or LibreOffice for Mac.
iWork does not take kindly to huge documents.
However, I find that Numbers and Pages for Mac OS to have a sweetly intuitive way of doing what I want.
Regards,
Ian.

How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

Hello
I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them.
I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
Cheers
James

What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
icon in the header and you'll be done.
Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
    RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
    ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
in
    ExpandData

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

How to Read data from excel file without converting a excel file into .csv or any other format

Hello,
Can somebody suggest me how to read from an excel file (consisting of 10 work sheets) to an array?
Thanks,
She

You have to be careful when using the spreadsheet-files vi's. They are located in the Functions Palette under File IO, you will find "Write To / Read From Spreadsheet File.vi"s.
Here is what the Context Help says about the vi function:
"Reads a specified number of lines or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards. You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI calls the Spreadsheet String to Array function to convert the data. "
This is quick & easy when the spreadsheet is all the same format. You can set the format to string as well. HOWEVER... you do have to convert the Excel spreadsheet to text before using it.
I haven't experimented with the Active-X, but it may look as the way to go if you have combination text / numeric values in the spreadsheet.
If you did convert it to text, then you can use array functions as well and treating the file as an array of strings (see very brief example attached). The example is to illustrate a point only

How to create a New Excel File programmatically

Hi !
I am documenting acquired data continuously in an excel file, what I need to do is to create a new excel file automatically when the size of the previous file exceeds a certain limit lets say 1MB.
I have tried using the simple 'Create/Open File' function and the 'Write to Spreadsheet File' function to create the new excel file. I does create a file but when I open the file it says the format of the file is not what you have opened it with.
Also when the new file is created, three new worksheet are to be added programmatically with pre-defined worksheet name and also Column headers for each of the worksheet are to be added.
I am also using 'Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Office'.

Reeves

@ Aldo A
Thanks for the reference to tutorial, I didn't know about them. They are useful in general but unfortunately they don't answer the problem of creating an altogether new excel file programmatically.
@ ben64
The template thing simplifies the issue of formatting the new file. But I am still working on the new excel file creation challenge.
Let me put my problem in a different way.
Certain data is being acquired continually and is being written to a certain excel file, when the size of the file exceeds lets say 1MB the program should start saving the data in a NEW FILE instead of the previous file.
I have attached the VI to explain what I am trying to achieve here.

When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
Type
man du
when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder. To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path. If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help. If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory. That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.
