How to refer to Excel tables (ListObjects) in PowerPivot

I am trying to figure out how to import ListObjects in PP.
As far as I can tell PP does not seem to "see" range names that refer to entire ListObjects i.e. =T_DTL[#All], while it "sees" ranges that refer to direct cells i.e. =Dtl!$O$3:$V$46.
Is that correct and is there a way to work around it?
The reason I am asking is that the tables I want to work with do not necessarily start on line 1 and PP references entire worksheets i.e. Dtl$, as per my example above.I tried different approaches with dynamic ranges but PP refuses to present them as choices
while Selecting Tables and Views. The only way to achieve what I need is by creating named ranges with hardcoded start and end, which is a bit odd since Tables (ListObjects) are a powerful tool since Excel 2007 and I would expect a stronger integration with
other powerful tools such as PowerPivot.Apart from the overhead of having to go through each workbook and define a range for every Table I wish to use.
Am I missing something here?

My PowerPivot attempt was abruptly broken about a month ago, hence my very late reply.
Peter is quoting VBA statements on how to refer to a Table (ListObject), which is familiar to me as I am also writing VBA code. Unfortunately my problem is in interactive mode, not in code execution.
When we open a file's PowerPivot window from within Excel we are prompted to select the tables we want to work with. That is where I cannot see my ListObjects / Tables. I am presented with all ranges that PowerPivot sees as declared in the file that I am
opening (as in Formulas / Names Manager) EXCEPT for the ListObjects. Those are missing.
Try it if you will and let me know if this behavior is relevant only to my installation or to yours as well.

Thanks in Advance
Arun Kumar

Dear Durairaj Athavan Raja
You might be knowing, In HR, in the table PA0008, basic may stored in any of the field from BET01 to BET20.
This is based on the wage type , which is once again stored in LGA01 to LGA20.
if i want to get the basic of a particular employee,
i'll execute a query for pa0008,
select * from pa0008 into corresponding fields of taable itpa008 where pernr = '1234'.
if i am able to get the field value thro index of a field,
my cod will be
loop at itpa0008.
    if itpa0008-LGA(index) = '1001'.
      actbasic = itpa0008-BET(index).
    endif.
endloop.
now variable actbasic will have the basic of that particular employee.
orelse, i have to check from LGA01 to LGA20 manually using if statement.
How can i achive this.
thanks in advance

How to refer to fact table to update the same fact table

Here is my scenario. Fact table is having measures basic_sal, Tax, net_sal with dimension key to employee dimension.
I neet to update the net_sal = basic_sal - tax in fact table.
I tried to do a map with fact_table as source and also target. but after deploying the map, it's not updating the net_sal to the existing rows. It's inserting the new rows with dimension key and net_sal columns. so now fact table is having the double the existing rows.
Thanks,
Srini.

Ola Srini,
We have some experience that updating a table while using that same table as source often takes a lot of time... Specially when the table contains a lot of data (which is mostly the case with fact tables).
You can use two solutions. Expand the mapping u use to fill the fact table... The calculations looks not that complex to me... But I could be wrong.
Other solution is to create a temp table where you store all sal types. You could load the fact table from this temp table. Disadvantage of this solution is maintenance of the temp table...

How can I use PowerPivot tables like Excel tables -- printing, etc.?

I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere, and even more surprisingly, no one else seems to have even asked this question...
How can I use tables I create in the Excel PowerPivot window in the same ways I use tables that are in ordinary Excel worksheets, to accomplish tasks such as printing? I am able to use the powerful capabilities of PowerPivot to produce tables with precisely
the information I need for reports -- connecting data from multiple tables/sources, filtering, etc. -- but then there doesn't seem to be any way to actually print what I'm seeing, nor can I seem to access cells in these PowerPivot tables from Excel worksheets.
If a PowerPivot table is conceptually an Excel table with additional power in terms of pulling in data and relating it, it would seem appropriate that all the power of Excel could be brought to bear on these PowerPivot tables, but on the contrary, the available
operations are limited. if, instead, a PowerPivot table is more correctly viewed as a data source that Excel worksheets can connect to, that would be fine, and indeed, one
can use a PowerPivot table as a data source -- except it can't be brought into an Excel worksheet as an ordinary Excel table, unlike most other data sources.
I hope I'm missing something really obvious, and that someone can point out what it is. Thanks.

Kirchh,
When PowerPivot was first designed, the decision was to integrate closely to Sharepoint to allow for team sharing. We are constantly evaluating customer feedback to add more features, and this has been one of the feedbacks we have received. We will consider
supporting this in the future but with no gurantee.

I'm not questioning why PowerPivot is closely integrated with SharePoint. I'm asking why connecting to the PowerPivot model from within Excel was intentionally blocked by Microsoft, when all the functionality to do so appears to be present.
Is creating an OLE DB connection in Excel to PowerPivot as $Embedded$ supported?
No support. It was originally designed for SharePoint. This changed with Power Pivot for Excel 2013 (it's packaged with it). Originally the scope (in 2010 through 2012) was that it was for SharePoint users. So it became more obvious through that to market it
toward all Excel users. Thus the recent changes.

How to insert into a table with a nested table which refer to another table

Hello everybody,
As the title of this thread might not be very understandable, I'm going to explain it :
In a context of a library, I have an object table about Book, and an object table about Subscriber.
In the table Subscriber, I have a nested table modeling the Loan made by the subscriber.
And finally, this nested table refers to the Book table.
Here the code concerning the creation of theses tables :
Book :
create or replace type TBook as object
number int,
title varchar2(50)
Loan :
create or replace type TLoan as object
book ref TBook,
loaning_date date
create or replace type NTLoan as table of TLoan;
Subscriber :
create or replace type TSubscriber as object
sub_id int,
name varchar2(25)
loans NTLoan
Now, my problem is how to insert into a table of TSubscriber... I tried this query, without any success...
insert into OSubscriber values
*(1, 'LEVEQUE', NTLoan(*
select TLoan(ref(b), '10/03/85') from OBook b where b.number = 1)
Of course, there is an occurrence of book in the table OBook with the number attribute 1.
Oracle returned me this error :
SQL error : ORA-00936: missing expression

     --INSERT INTO SATYA_TEMP VALUES TBL(I); (I know this)
END;
My question is how to refer a particular field of table type..?
Please suggest.

Then you have to create a record type and give all the columns inside it as given below.
Then you can create a variable for this type and use it
Type IS RECORD OF
columnname1 table_name.column_name1%type,
columnname2 table_name.column_name2%type,
columnname3 table_name.column_name3%type,
OR Use
rec table%ROWTYPE;

How i can load excel sheet into a table in oracle through pl/sql procedure

Hi,
How i can load excel sheet into a table in oracle through pl/sql procedure or a pl/sql block. Excel sheet is saved on my c or d drive on my machine. In xls format.

Depending on how big your spreadsheet is and how frequently you want to do this you might want to contruct insert statements in excel, then run these. I have done this to load a few hundred rows for a one off test on dev.
e.g. if you have values 1 and 'a' in you spread sheet and want to insert them in to table xxx col1 & 2:
| /|   A   |   B   |    C
|1 |col1   |col2   |
|2 |      1|a      |="insert into xxx ("&$A$1&","&B1&") values ("&A2&",'"&B2&"');"then paste the contents of colum C
insert into xxx (col1,col2) values (1,'a');into sqlplus or a script.

How to attach image, screen shot or excel table to master vendor copy.

Hi,
Please let me know how to attach an image or excel table into "header text" table. This has to be printed and sent to the customer. We use SAP GUI to create purchase orders.
Thanks in advance.
Kushal

Past the code into the post and then click on the post preview tab to check to see if the image rendered...it should show, if not, then either the code wasn't copied properly or the wrong embedding code was used.
That will provide a link to the image in separate browser window or tab. But if you place a "!" (an exclamation mark) at either end of the link (with no spaces or quotation marks), the image will then be displayed inline, within your post.

A name is just a name. There are industry standards on certain names indicating certain file formats, but the name doesn't make it that format.

Hi,
the pear command is a programm, which is installed together with php, as long as you did not configured php with the configure-option "--without-pear".
After you have downloaded a package like Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.0.tgz into a folder like, let's say
c:\myDownloads\pear\ (on Windows-systems)
or /myDownloads/pear/ (on UNIX-systems)
you take your Commandline (console, xterm ... ( onUNIX)) or CMD (on Windows) and change to that directory:
$> cd /myDownloads/pear (UNIX)
$> CHDIR C:\myDownloads\pear\ (Windows)
After this, just type:
pear install Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.0.tgz
press [ ENTER ] and that's it. The installation will be finished.
After this small steps are done, you can start writing code, using Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
running
$> pear --help
will give you more infos on using the pear utilities.
