How to influence the rowheight in excel output

Hello all,
I am using the BI publisher desktop so I use RTF to build my template.
the desired output is excel.
I have in other templates some tables where cells automatically adjust to the size of the cell. But didn't know how I did this (I thought this was normal)
now I want to do this again in a new template and I don't have this functionallity anymore and the cell is just as big as I made it initially...
Can anyone help me out on this?

Hi,
Standard RTF table properties for autosizing and fixing table column/row/cell width/height should apply. At the time of RTF creation you don't necessarily have data representative of the size of the data you're going to get when you run the report. And using autosize to fix the width at design time will be impacted by the presence both your form fields and lack of data. So you probably do want autosized columns especially for Excel/HTML where output is not "pagesize" restricted.
Anyway, I digress, I thought I'd try to get BI Publisher (5.6.3) to put in an "auto" width or column-width for specific columns:
- tried using Word autosize - didn't work
- tried using xsl attributes (column-width) but BI Publisher seemed to ignore it.
Then strangely enough autosize worked in one of my test cases!
So here are the steps I used to get autosize with Excel consistently working:
If you are creating a new table:
1a. Table, Insert, Table, choose your number of columns/rows and choose the Autofit to Contents option (or the Fixed Column Width: Auto) option
Or if you want to autosize an existing table
1b. Select your table and go to Table, Table Properties, Cell tab and uncheck the "Preferred Width" checkbox - and in Row tab uncheck specify height
2. After the table you want appearing on your output insert another "dummy" autosize table (as per 1a), but with just 1 row, 1 column and make remove the border so it doesn't appear.
See if it works!
PS. would be excellent if Tim sees this, me thinks might be a gremlin in the code ;-)

Gareth

  • Re: how to influence the rowheight in excel output

    I tried to use dummy table with one row and column around the existing table with data. The properties were set as 'Autofit to Contents option' for both tables.
    For both tables, i specified  - Table, Table Properties, Cell tab and uncheck the "Preferred Width" checkbox - and in Row tab uncheck specify height.
    Still i see that in Excel output, the row height is increased since data is large enough to fit in one cell. Can someone help me understand if iam doing anything wrong here.
    Thank you.

  • How to read the data in excel sheet

    Dear sir,
    How to read the data in excel sheet when i recieve a data serial communication... ie i have store a data in excel such that
    Cell A       Cell B
       A           Apple 
       B           Ball
       C           Cat
       D           Doll
    when i recieve A from serial communication i have to display Apple, and when i recieve B i have to display Ball and so on.. 

    Hi, 
    I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached. 
    Trust this would help you solve the issue.

  • How to upload the data from excel(3 tabs) file to sap environment

    Hi all,
    This is Mahesh.
    how to upload the data from excel(3 tabs) file to sap environment (internal tables) while doing bdc.

    Hi,
    The FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' makes it possible to load a worksheet into an internal table in ABAP.
    However, if you want to get the data from several worksheets, I think you are stuck with OLE access to your Excel Workbook...
    You can find a solution for 2 worksheets in this post :
    TO UPLOAD DATA FROM 2 EXCEL SHEETS INTO TWO INTERNAL TABLES
    I think you can easily modify it to handle any number of worksheets.
    Hope it helps !

    Hi,
    whenever you click on Excel download option select spreadsheet instead of unconverted
    There is a possibility of download the spool file as txt-file. .
    Use Tranx SP01 - select the spool entry -->"spool request --> forward as text . You will find the file in your SAP work directory as <sid><spool#>.
    or use fm RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB.
      Download in Background in Excel Format
    How to download the data in excel format directly while executing in background mode? 
    If you will execute it in bacground with ws_download or download, it will be aoutomatically cancel. so what is the procedure to do this.  How is can directly read the spool from program?
    Download from background is possible, if you could setup the environment
    1. create a custom table first
        Table  : Y001
        Displayed fields:   4 of   4  Fixed columns:
           MANDT BNAME       Y_SITE    Y_PATH
           010      <userid>     <site>      cd <novell_path>
    2. rewrite ws_download to z_download (light modification required, see attachment)
    3. ask your basis team to make a copy of command FTP and CHMOD to ZFTP and ZCHMOD resp., make the setting according to your environment.

  • How to export the result to excel or txt as the SQL result format.

    Hello,
    I want to know how to export the result of the Oracle select result to a txt or a excel file.What is the command.
    I knew the command of spool,but the format of it export is not the same to the result of Oracle result area.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello Yucky,
    what do you mean by
    the format of it export is not the same to the result of Oracle result areaDo you mean the output of a tool other than SQL*PLUS?
    To enhance the formatting of a spool file you can set
    SET MARKUP HTML ON
    SPOOL ONthis will add html markup to format the output as a html table which you can open in a browser or in excel.
    Regards

  • Planning Workflow (9.3.1): how to influence the view of an enduser?

    Hi all,
    In Planning (9.3.1) Workflow the administrator and planner views are quite different. Where the administrator sees a nice top-down approach when opening Workflow (in other words: an administrator can navigate from generation 0 down into the entity dimension) a planner always sees the level 0 members. All of them… which is not very handy.
    How can we influence the way a planner (=account with role “planner”) sees his part of the Workflow? Now, if a planner has to see multiple departments, he can see 100s of cost centers in Planning, while just viewing and influencing the highest level depending on a person’s actual security (for instance a department as a whole) would be enough already.
    There must be some place where this can be influenced within Planning, but we can’t find it in the documentation or in the standard interfaces of the Planning administration site.
    Thanks in advance!
    Gr.

    Hi,
    some FM elements always need special treatment. This is true for graphics (objects), cross links and tables especially.
    The EDD can do lots of things, but is also limited in doing others.
    There are also different ways to reach a goal, depending on your preferences.
    Some things have to be done in the template, some things need to be done in the EDD, others need to be done in the RWR.
    It always depends on what you have as given input, how good your skills at certain things are, how consistent your input is or how the general workflow is laid out.
    The best way to learn structured FM is to take a look on existing EDDs, DTDs, RWR and templates.
    Check out how other people solved those problems. See if the same way works for you.
    In your special case, my solution was the quick and dirty one. But there could have been another solution.
    You could have wrapped your reference within a font formatting tag (such as <b> or <i> in DITA/HTML) and add the font properties there.
    But introducing a font tag usually has influence on your XML input/output.
    This means you would need to either get this information already within the XMl source, add it with XSLT on import (remove on export), redefine your structure or use FM scripting.
    As you see, there are many ways leading to the desired output - it just depends on your special case, what is best for you.
