Apex 3.0: export a report as .csv file without any Enclosed By character?

In Apex "Report Attributes page/Report Export" is possible to define the Enclosed By field.
The default Enclosed By by characters are a double quotation marks (" ").
Is there a way to export the report as .csv file without any Enclosed By character?
Example line format:
a) using default Enclosed By
"value1";"value2";"value3"
b) using ('') as Enclosed By
'value1';'value2';'value3'
c) using blank space as Enclosed By
value1 ; value2 ; value
d) without any Enclosed By character
value1;value2;value3
What can we do in Apex to export a report as .csv file with the line format example d)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
There is no Out of the box feature in Apex to achieve this functionality. But what you can do is write a page process to generate the CSV that you want.
For this what I will do is on the first page where you press the Button it will call a PL/SQL page process which actually generates the csv. You can keep the existing report only for display purposes. Find the below process which generate the csv that you require.
begin
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.csv"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.prn('columnHeader1,ColumnHeader2,ColumnHeader3'||chr(13));
-- Loop through all rows
for x in (
Select column1,column2,column3 from table;
loop
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
htp.prn(x."column1"||','||x."column2"||','||x."column3"||chr(13));
end loop;
-- Send an error code so that the
-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; --You can leave out this line if you still want to display the existing HTML report.
end;
This will show a download box, so you can download the csv file. The page process should be called before header and the condition should be the button press.

When Export ssrs Report to CSV file runtime filters not working

The Runtime Filters not working when Export SSRS Report to CSV format

Hi PatilPriti,
As for my understanding, the filter worked fine when you preview the report,
but it did not work when you export the report to CSV format. I tried to export the report to CSV file on my side, and the data was shown as expected. I guess the issue is due to the parameter or filter. please try to export to Excel format to test again
and make sure you created the filter correctly. Please refer to the following
blog about how to add a filter in SSRS:
http://arcanecode.com/2010/07/12/adding-filter-parameters-to-sql-server-2008-reporting-services-reports/
If the problem is not resolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us
detailed description of your problem.
It’s better to provide the table structure and some sample data, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

Edit CSV files present in document library using Microsoft Excel

I have a document library with CSV files uploaded. I have used the below mapping in DOCICON.xml present in \14\TEMPLATE\XML folder.
<Mapping Key="csv" Value="csv16.gif" EditText="Microsoft Excel" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
And I modified mime type with "application/vnd.ms-excel" for csv in IIS7. Now, when i click on the file popup is getting displayed with 2 Radio Buttons.
1) Read Only
2)Edit
When i select "Read Only", the file is opening in Microsoft Excel in readonly mode But when i select "Edit", the file is opening in Note pad and its editable.
Now, My requirement is to edit the csv file in Microsoft Excel not in NotPad.
Can Any one help me to acheive this!! Thanks in advance.

Try below:
http://nickgrattan.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/sharepoint-opening-csv-files-with-microsoft-excel/
Run the “Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager” application from the Start/Administrative tools menu.
Select the server in the left-hand pane.
Select “MIME Types” in the list of options in the middle pane.
Then locate the .CSV entry (it should already exist) and change the MIME type to: application/vnd.ms-excel, and click
OK.

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
on horseback ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard

How to save excel report as CSV file with ActiveX

Hi,
I'm trying to save my excel test report as a CSV file using ActiveX and I'm having difficulty getting started. I can't find an invoke node method that enables CSV file conversion.
Can anyone shed light on this? See attached screenshot.
Thanks

As long as you are using the Report Generation Toolkit, there is no need to use ActiveX for the purpose of saving the Excel file -- Save Report will do that for you. You can then export (as text) all of the Excel data and use the Write Spreadsheet File to make the .CSV file. Here is how I would rewrite the final bits of your code --
I cleaned up the wires around Excel Easy Table a bit. You'll see I made a VI Icon for Replace Filename, which does (I think) a nicer job of self-documenting than showing its Label. To make the filename, add the correct extension (.xlsx for Excel, .csv for CSV), use Build Path to combine Folder and Filename, and wire to Save Report.
The next two functions add the Extract Everything and Write to Spreadsheet, using a Comma as a separator, which makes a CSV copy for you.

How to forbidden to save report in Excel files

Hi,
I use Edge BO 3.0.
In WEB Intelligence report, is it possible to forbiden to users to save data in an excel file ?
I created an acces level and I denied for Webi report the rules :
Export the report data
save as Excel files
save as CSV files
I just allow users to save as PDF files.
I created a group and give this acces level to this group for Web Intelligence application.
But my users can allways save data in Excel files...
What's wrong ?
Thank you
Michel (from FRANCE)

Hi,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
In BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, users can save Web Intelligence reports as portable document format (PDF), Excel, comma-separated value (CSV), and other formats to their local computer. It is necessary to restrict this right for a group of users by disabling the Save As option.
Resolution
Here are the steps:
Log on to the Central Management Console as administrator.
Click Folder > folder containing report > Rights tab > Add/Remove.
Add the appropriate group. Click OK. The User Folders window appears.
Click Advanced in the Net Access Column.
Clear the <group name> will inherit rights from its parent groups option.
Clear the <folder name> will inherit rights from its parent folders option.
Expand the Web Intelligence Document section.
Click the Explicitly Denied option for the right to Export the report"s data.
Click Apply > OK.
When the Web Intelligence report is opened, the users will no longer see the Save As option.

Have file save dialog configure csv file type

I am saving a program recipe file in csv format.
I can save and retrieve the file without problems.
What I would like to do is have the save file dialog box show a file type of *.csv instead of the default all file types *.* and then depend on the user to enter file.csv
Does anyone know a way to do this programitically?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Clark,
the FileDialog has some "pattern label" inputs. Have you used them or read the context help for that function?

How to export Bi Publisher report into .csv file in different sheets?

Hi,
I have a report request in BI Publisher to generate the results in different tabs in Excel format with headings etc.
But the users are now asking for the same report in .csv format with the same number of tabs in one file.
Can I do that in .csv file?
Regards
Sailaja

Can I do that in .csv file?
no
csv is simple plain-text
A comma-separated values (CSV) (also sometimes called character-separated values, because the separator character does not have to be a comma) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain-text form. Plain text means that the file is a sequence of characters, with no data that has to be interpreted instead, as binary numbers. A CSV file consists of any number of records, separated by line breaks of some kind; each record consists of fields, separated by some other character or string, most commonly a literal comma or tab. Usually, all records have an identical sequence of fields.
Comma-separated values - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can any version of Excel save to a CSV file that is either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded (unicode)?

Are there any versions of Excel (chinese, japanese, russian... 2003, 2007, 2010...) that can save CSV files in Unicode (either UTF-8 or UTF-16)?
If not, is the only solution to go with tab-delimited files (save as Unicode-text option)?

Hi Mark,
I have the same problem. Trying to save my CSV file in UTF8 encoding. After several hours in searching and trying this also in my VSTO Add-In I got nothing. Saving file as Unicode option in Excel creates file as TAB separated. Because I'd like to save the
file in my Add-In application, the best to do is (for my problem) saving file as unicode tab delimited and then replacing all tabs with commas in the file automatically.
I don't think there is a direct way to save CSV as unicode in Excel. And I don't understand why.

How to Export BW Query Report to .csv file

I try to export BW QueryReport to .csv file using ReportAgent and URL command in WEB Template:
<SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER='VIEW1' CMD='EXPORT' FORMAT='CSV'>
but can't find the result file.
Is someone have experience in exporting BW Reports to file in automatic way?

Another way to do it would be to use transaction RSCRM_BAPI.
Not ideal for large volumes but allows you to extract from a query.

Hi,
I have a Interactive Report and displaying the column values (multiple values in same ROW) as mentioned below.
SQL Query
select deptno,
       function1(empno) empno

IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA,BBB,CCC, ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX,YYY,ZZZ, ...    // - Row 2 Now I want to display each employee in a new Line, so modified the SQL Query
Modified SQL Query
select deptno,
       REPLACE(function1(empno),',','<br>') empno

20         XXX
           YYY
           ZZZ
            ...    // - Row 2 SO, Interactive Report Out put looks fine and that's the way we want.
But the problem is when I download the Report in CSV or in PDF using the Action Menu -> Download..
I am getting break line B R in the output, and also I have two different output in CSV for two different column. [Logic is same for both the columns.]
CSV output1
Employee No
AAA<br>BBB<br>CCC
XXX<br>YYY<br>ZZZI have other columns also with multiple values...for that column, I am getting the following CSV output
CSV output2
City List
1111<br>
2222<br>
3333<br>So, in CSV for one column, I am getting all the values in same line with the seperator B R (Output1)
for other column, I am getting values in new line with the separator B R. (Output2)
Is there a way to FIX this CSV or PDF output for Interactive Report.
I DON'T WANT THE SEPARATOR BR in CSV and also the values should always be in New Line.
I want to have the following Output in CSV
Employee No
AAA
BBB
CCCThanks,

Thanks.. Jari.. for the quick response.
I updated my SQL query with Chr(10) and added the code in Page HTML header.
Now the CSV & PDF output are fine..getting each individual value in seperate line (no BR tag)
BUT in the Interactive Report Output, I am now getting first 2 values in 1 line, then next value in next line, and so on..
IR Output
Employee
AAA BBB
CCCCCCC
DDDDDI have few more issues with CSV & PDF output
1. In PDF is there a way to increase the column width, as for some of the columns, the values are getting truncated.
2. For some of the columns in IR Report, I have user BR tag in Column Heading and this also come in CSV output (column heading with BR tag), is there a way to fix this. In PDF Column headings are fine (no BR tag)
and by the way..what exactly this does.

Interactive Reporting & Imported CSV File

I have a query that joins an IR result set w/ a CSV file that I've imported into IR. I would like to import a more current version of that CSV file (I can use the same file name each time) without having to update the query, is that possible? I tried importing a CSV file with the same name as a file that was already imported and all IR did was add a 2 to the end of the filename.
I looked in the Dashboard Studio Optimize Utility and it shows DataModel6 as being the parent of this query; however, I do not see DataModel6 when I'm in the IR Studio.
Thanks.

How to read the name of .csv file from a particular folder using Oracle.

Gurus,
I have a folder called 'data_dir' in Oracle Server and it contains 10 different .csv files and the name of the each file is being suffixed by date and time(24 hrs format).
First i need to read all the file names then i have to process those files by UTL_FILE to load the data into a relational table.
Is there any mechanism is available in Oracle to read the file names?
(In this case all the 10 different csv file names)
If so, then please help me accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venugopal.K

Is there any mechanism is available in Oracle to read the file names?Sounds to me like you need to use External Tables (*not* utl_file).
