Html tags added while exporting to csv

Hi,
I am facing issue of html tags got added to some columns while exporting report to the csv format.
Can anyone help me for this .
Thanks,
Vivek

The TextArea is being included in the csv file probably because it is added to the select query. The main report query has
select apex_item.hidden(49,triagemd5_wptg||triagemd5_compare) || APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(34,triagemd5_wptg||triagemd5_compare) checksel, id,APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(35, response, ''Will Fix;Will Fix,Will Not Fix;Will Not Fix,Not an Issue;Not an Issue'','''',''YES'','''','''') , APEX_ITEM.TEXTAREA(45,comments,0,0,''onMouseOver="title=this.value;" style="width:200px;font: 12px/16px Arial,sans-serif;height:50px; border:0 none; overflow:hidden"'')
This was implemented like this because the no. in the 1st column of the API (eg. 45 for apex_item.textarea) is needed to write the values to DB. If the textarea and formatting is added as part of report column attribute then writing comments and response to DB will fail.

HTML Tags escape while exporting to PDF

Hi friends,
I have two columns in my BI report like
Business Group(BG) and OU
Since in the BG column under the edit formula i used the html tags to show each and every BG column value in bold like below
'<b>' || "D1.Company"."Business Group Full Name" || '</b>'
Now the report is appearing fine in answers and dashboard but when i export the same report to PDF i can see the html tags in each and every name of the BG group.
Is there anything to be done to escape these html tags in PDF while exporting.
And also if we give the tooltip for the numeric columns like below under the column properties-->Data format-->Custom like
[html]<p title=\""Employee Count" \">#
And after that if i tried to escape the same report with the tooltip on the numeric column to pdf means, the number values are missing for the entire column in the PDF, but this case is not appearing while exporting the report to pdf if i set the tooltip to the text column, as the values is missing only for the tooltip of the numeric column. What could be the fix for this problem.
Thanks

Saro

Hi svee,
Thanks for the reply.
For an example i tried with the bold option in the edit formula inorder to portray the html tags problem while exporting it to the pdf inspite of using the default bold option within the column properites like u said.
Suppose if i used html tags like
<br>, </br>
in the edit formula section or if i used any other html tags which is not present as a default option in bi like bold. At that time while exporting the report to pdf i can face the issue.
And also i need ur suggestion regarding with the values disappearing for the numeric column if a tooltip is used in it while exporting it to the pdf.

Hi Nr
Here is how I approached this problem.
Go to report attributes tab
under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
create function get_heading return clob as
v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
v_col_heading CLOB;
begin
IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
ELSE
v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
END IF;
return v_col_heading;
end;
Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
return get_heading;
Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hide column in SSRS is not working while exporting to CSV format.

Hi,
I have a report where some columns are hidden based on parameter value. When I export to Excel all the hidden columns are hiding which is fine, but the issue is when I exported to CSV all the hidden columns are exporting to csv.
I tried to using " =IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "CSV", True,False)" in Column visibility but It is not working. When I select Hide option it is working fine. But I want to hide based on expression.
Any help !!!!!!!!

Hi sumancv,
In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), we can control whether an item is visible in CSV separately from whether an item is visible in other renderers. As Shahfaisal Muhammed posted earlier, the CSV renderers use the DataElementOutput property to control
visibility. When an item has DataElementOutput=Output, it will appear in the CSV. When an item has DataElementOutput=NoOutput, it will not appear in CSV.
Based on my test, we cannot use expression to control column visibility in the report when it is export to CSV.

URL defined in formula column not converting as proper HTML tags

We are migrating a report to 10Gr2 (10.1.2.0.2) from reports 9i (9.0.2.03); This report has to route to a different web page. For this we have a formula column with meta tag call to refresh;its Contains HTM property set to Yes. But when run, the view source of HTML shows as if the tag is truncated and put in <tt> tag around it.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.

XML with HTML Tags... (easy points) 11g question

Dear Programming Gods,
I have been researching this for about 2 weeks now, and I have hit the final road block.
Using BI Publisher 11.1.1
In APEX 4.0 I have a Rich Text Field. The data from the Rich Text Field is store in CLOB. The data has HTML formatting tags. I have a data model that selects the data. I create an xml which has the html tags. I export the xml and import it into MS Word using the BI Publisher add-in. I import my subtemplate which handles almost all of the formatting tags. I apply the template to the CLOB field so that the HTML formatting tags will be rendered when printed.
The problem is this. The subtemplate is looking for this < and / > however BI publisher convters the tags stored in the CLOB from raw html tags to this &.lt; and &.gt; so the subtemplate can not match to it.
Here is what I need to figure out and please explain it in very novice terms.
When I generate and export the XML from BI Publisher how do I prevent it from converting my raw tags?
Here is some further assistance when prepairing your answer.
My subtemplate is based on the htmlmarkup.xsl from the following blog but has been modified heavily to include support for simple tables, more formatting such as subscripts and superscripts, ect...
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/01/formatting_html_with_templates.html
I am also familliar with this blog but I do not understand how to implement it using BI 11g.
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/08/raw_data.html
I have tried adding this to my layout but it doesnt seem to work.
<xsl: element name="R_CLOB" dataType="xdo:xml" value="R_CLOB" / >
Please, help me. I have to have this working in 4 days.
Richard

This did not work either. Here's more infor on what I have so far.
My data template looks like this:
<dataTemplate name="Data" description="Template">
     <parameters>

               </group>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
After running this data_template there was no change in the xml file generated see partial : Note:
my test actually has the B with the html tags

I loaded in to MS Word but there was no change documnet still look the same. I left the commands import file command and xsl:apply-templates command in the word document template.
I really appreciate you helpiing me.

Problem While exporting HTML table to Excel(.CSV) in SharePoint 2010

Hi ,
I was exporting HTML table to .CSV file.
Problem is if any field contains '>' or '<' symbol then after exporting to .CSV, it was showing like '&gt' and '&lt' and the code is as below.
//Export HTML table to CSV
function toCSV() {
var data = document.getElementById('reportstable');
var csvData = [];
var tmpArr = [];
var tmpStr = '';
for (var i = 0; i < data.rows[0].cells.length; i++)
tmpArr.push((data.rows[0].cells[i].innerText || data.rows[0].cells[i].textContent));
csvData.push(tmpArr.join('\t'));
for (var i = 1; i < data.rows.length; i++)
tmpArr = [];
for (var j = 0; j < data.rows[0].cells.length; j++)
tmpArr.push(data.rows[i].cells[j].innerHTML);
csvData.push(tmpArr.join('\t'));
var output = csvData.join('\n');
SaveContents(output);
//For saving the file
function SaveContents(element) {
if (document.execCommand) {
var oWin = window.open("about:blank","_blank");
oWin.document.write(element);
oWin.document.close();
var success = oWin.document.execCommand('SaveAs', false, "FilteredReport.xls")
oWin.close();
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
According to your post, a problem occurred when you exported the HTML table to Excel(.CSV).
The following code for your reference:
function toCSV() {
var data = document.getElementById('reportstable');
var csvData = [];
var tmpArr = [];
var tmpStr = '';
for (var i = 0; i < data.rows[0].cells.length; i++)
tmpArr.push((data.rows[0].cells[i].innerText || data.rows[0].cells[i].textContent));
csvData.push(tmpArr.join('\t'));
for (var i = 1; i < data.rows.length; i++)
tmpArr = [];
for (var j = 0; j < data.rows[0].cells.length; j++)
tmpArr.push(data.rows[i].cells[j].innerHTML);
csvData.push(tmpArr.join('\t'));
var output = csvData.join('\n');
SaveContents(output.replace(/</g, '<').replace(/>/g, '>'));

How to avoid HTML tags in CSV output

Hi,
I have a Interactive Report, some of the columns are links which are derived from functions as shown below.
function1 (p1) - this function will return a url something like
          '<a href=f?p=........>'||p1||'</a>';
select col1, col2, function1(col3) from table1Report Output
11     22     _33_(link)CSV Download Output
11     22     <a href=f?p=........>33</a>Report output is perfectly fine and links are also displayed correctly..*no issues*
BUT when I download this as a CSV output...I am getting all the html tags *< a* along with href=..f?p=... */ a >* in the CSV file
Is there any way to avoid these html tags in the CSV download file.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,
I am using following conditions (Interactive Report)..as shown below.. just say columns are DEPT and DEPT_EXPORT.
IR Report column
   DEPT
     - condition- PL\SQL Expression... :REQUEST != 'CSV'
     (this will display as a normal IR column)
Export Column
   DEPT_EXPORT
     - condition- PL\SQL Expression... :REQUEST = 'CSV'
     (this will display only in case of export to csv)1. When I run the report and do CSV download..sometime ..I get the DEPT_EXPORT column in the CSV file..sometime not..*No idea why it is happening..it's not consistent.*
2. Secondly, I need to display DEPT_EXPORT column in CSV export..only when DEPT column has been selected in the Interactive Report.
If no DEPT column in IR...no DEPT_EXPORT column in CSV. Is it possible??
Thanks,
Deepak

Extraneous html included in Report Export (csv) for Version 3.1

Hi, I'm not hopeful of anyone being able to resolve my problem, as none of my colleagues are experiencing it, which occurs in my application for all new reports that I have created since the upgrade to 3.1 (from 3.0).
I have many existing reports which utilise the Report Export facility and they still work as they should. However, for any new report created after the upgrade, the file created contains an html tag:
At the top of the first column: div id="report_1562114506105406_catch"
with the corresponding tag at the bottom of the column /div
Initially, I thought that the complexity of the report might have been relevant, but not at all. I have added report regions to existing pages with an SQL query of SELECT sysdate FROM dual
I deleted and restored an earlier version of the application, but the problem recurred. As I said, my colleagues cannot reproduce the issue (happily - for them!) and neither could I when I created a new application (using the same theme - Blue and Tan), but I still experienced the problem with my application working at a colleague's PC. Also, if I activate the Report Export for an existing report, the file created is fine, which seems to indicate the problem relates to the report creation rather than the Report Export facility.
Any suggestions gratefully received,
David

Additional info
Where previously I thought that the number included in the "_reportnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn_catch" was randomly generated, I have now found out that it is actually specified within the "Print URL" on the Print Attributes tab.
This doesn't seem to be any different to the other reports (that were created before the upgrade), but of course until now I had no reason to view the Print Attributes tab, so was unaware of this.

Remove Html tags from export Crystal report Setting i

Hi,
I ma using CR 2008, BOXI 3.1 , Oracle
i)When ever i try to export i export it into CSV format and i am getting HTML tags , how do we remove them
ii) My second question is; I have a crystal report that is given by my friend and when ever i open it i ma getting a error saying UFL u2lgmt.dll missing .
i am using a java version ; How to overcome this?

hi Venkatesh,
regarding the first question...you need to replace these tags manually in a formula and have that formula on the report instead of the db field.
e.g.
stringvar s:= {your field};
s:= replace(s, '<div>', '');
s:= replace(s, '</div>', '');
you'll have to do this for any potential tag in the field unfortunately.
please post question 2 as a new discussion as per the forum rules.
cheers,
jamie

Report in HTML web service... unnecessarity tags added

My requirement is to generate a report in html format in sap and get it through a web service.
I need to invoke a sap web service which executes a report function and returns the report in HTML format.
I am using an RFC BAPI which uses WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function to convert report to html.
The problem is when the RFC is returning xml data with the html extra data is also being sent which are not of UTF8 charset format but windows-1252 charset.
So I am unable to parse that xml.
The extra tags added are <LIST_PAGES>...</LIST_PAGES>, <HYPER_TAGS>...</HYPER_TAGS>, <XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>...</XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>. I think these are being added by WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function.
I don't want these tags to be sent... how can I solve it.
I hope the question is clear... Please try to help me.
Thank you.

I managed to test the web service working from another APEX environment.
Then I created Form and Report on Web Service page but when I tried to Submit the page to get the report filled with web service, it gave me this error:
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node

When Exported in PDF reports displays HTML Tags

Hi All,
Business Object XI R2
WebI Report
I am Reporting on Oracle CLOBs. This CLOB contains Data with HTML Tags, Clearly this CLOB is the combination of DATA formatted in HTML tags.
When I create a WebI Reports on this (CLOB) WebI displays correctly in the sence data only.
When I export this report to PDF; The PDF display contains both data with HTML tags as well.
Is there any solution/workaround or any setting in the BO Server to overcome/solve this issue.
Appreciated you prompt help.
Thanks,
Ashok

Christine,
My question is wether Adobe support CLOBs or not.
I was reported on oracle CLOBs (This CLOBs contains data wrapped in HTML tags), by using Business Object Web Intelligence. This WebI displaying the reports as I desire, there is no problem, in WebI. WebI displaying data with no HTML Tags.
My problem is that when I export this WebI report, this Adobe is getting HTML tags, why? Since this WebI is not displaying the HTML tags, since adobe does not know wether there is a HTML tags or not.
Apprecited your prompt reply.
Thanks,
Ash
