How to import MS Excel data into an exisiting SharePoint List?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to import an excel list or excel data into a SharePoint List that has already been created? Not create a new list.
I know you can import a spreadsheet which will create a new list, but I don't want that because I have created columns already that do calculations and such and I don't want to recreate them....
It can be either an excel or access list, but I want to make sure the pre-existing columns in still my SharePoint list.

Sure,
Go to list datasheet view in IE
Open excel and copy the range
Paste in datasheet view
If column range match and validation overcome, data will start pasting as expected.

There is no OOOB way. But you can achieve this with custom code.

Import CSV/Excel data into Flex Datagrid using Java/JSP

Hi,
Is there any way we can import excel/csv data into flex datagrid component.
I see that is been done using php in this site. http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can store the list of data from the Excel sheet that you have read already into an ArrayList
Then go through the JDBC tutorial, and learn how to insert a single record into the table.
After you understand how to insert a single record, you can iterate through the ArrayList of data and insert them into the table in the database.
If you know JDBC, see if you can use OR Mapping frameworks like Hibernate or iBatis, they make it very easy to manage database in Java.

Importing excel data into ZAM 7.5 using SQL2005

Hi,
I am running ZAM 7.5 and have about 6500 workstation records in inventory. I have an excel spreadsheet that has been maintained for several years with some demographic info in it such as Site, Department, Building, etc for about 4000 of those workstations. I would like to get that information into the ZAM SQL2005 database. Can I import the data into the SQL database directly or is there a tool to do it? There are no purchase records tied to this data so using the purchase record import does not seem like an option. Any advice?
Thanks,
Jay

Help with Importing Excel Data into Formatted Tables

This is my first post, here, so please be gentle!
I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I am creating a 70-pg manufacturer's price book. A very large portion of each page is going to be size and price information imported from a large Excel spreadsheet.
I have created the table format that I'd like to use for each page, but the trouble comes when I import the Excel data into that table. For some reason, when I import, it all dumps into one cell. Would it be best to import as an unformatted table, and then format the table each time, or is there a way to simply import the data into my pre-formatted table? I've seen how the former is done, but the latter seems much easier (...although that could be my inexperience talking).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Laura (V1500)

Thank you both so much for your time! This is exactly what I needed.

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Hi,
user642297 wrote:
Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Imran

Hi
To make Excel sheets from sqlplus, you can use the markup html tag in sqlplus.
Here's an example.
Example
<code>
SET LINESIZE 4000
SET VERIFY OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 999
SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF
SPOOL c:\test_xls.xls
SELECT object_type
, SUBSTR( object_name, 1, 30 ) object
, created
, last_ddl_time
, status
FROM user_objects
ORDER BY 1, 2
SPOOL OFF

How to import multiple Excel/CSV columns into a single Sharepoint metadata choice column?

Consider: I work for an organization that has eight service territories. We have a series of procedural documents that can apply to from one to eight territories. We are moving this data over to sharepoint, and I'd like to add territory
data as metadata. Unfortunately, with our current knowledge management system, the best we can get is 8 separate fields flagged as yes/no.
is1 is2 is3 is4 is5 is6 is7 is8
1   0
1   1   0
0   0
0
0   0
0   1   1
0   0
0
0   0
0   0   0
0   1
0
I would like to be able to import this data into a SINGLE sharepoint metadata column as Choice/checkboxes/allow Multiple values. Is there a way to do this? We're using Foundations 2010, and our area does not have access to
development tools (including SPD).

Thanks for the reply. We have eight individual Columns in the Excel File, and when we do the import to Sharepoint, yes we get eight individual metadata columns.
I would LIKE to be able to import the eight columns into ONE column in Sharepoint.
Consider three documents.
Doc1 is information applicable to Territories 1,3 & 4.
Doc2 is information applicable to Territories 4 & 5.
Doc3 is information applicable to Territory 7.
      is1 is2 is3 is4 is5 is6 is7 is8
doc1   1   0
1   1
0   0   0
0
doc2   0   0
0   1
1   0   0
0
doc3   0   0
0   0
0   0   1
0
This metadata would import to a SINGLE column in SharePoint called IsTerritory, which is defined as a Checkbox (multiple values) Choice Field, limited to the values 1-8.
Doc1 would have checkboxes 1,3, & 4 checked, Doc2 would have checkboxes 4 & 5 checked, and Doc 3 would only have checkbox 3 checked.
Does that make a little more sense? I'm having problems validating my account, so I can't upload screenshots yet...
Thanks in advance for your reply.
