Import Excel Files

Hi,
We have excel files stored in the database. Is it posibile to pull them out and turn them into a report?
best regards
B. :/

Hi,
It is possible to show a BLOB in the report. However, when you choose a BLOB column, you need to specify its format, out of the formats supported by Reports, eg, image. Reports does not support Excel as a format. So you may not be able to directly show the Excel sheet's contents like that. Reports cannot read an Excel sheet's contents.
So what Rainer says might be the only possible solution - get the BLOB into the file system, and use JDBC-ODBC bridge to get its contents into Reports.

  • Adding hyperlinks to imported excel file cells

    Good Afternoon All,
    I am having trouble assigning hyperlinks and defining names to the individual cells of an imported excel file (import into Visio). Ideally, I would like to be able to hyperlink shapes in other Visio pages (of the same
    workbook) to individual cells of the imported excel file and vice versa.  Is there any way of doing this? 
    Please let me know if I can clarify.

  • How import excel file as data sorce in OBISE Physical layer correctly?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to import an excel file as data source in OBISE Physical layer. I create the ODBC that link the correct file (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html#t1)
    than imported the Excel using the import from database tool in the Oracle BI Adminstration. I see the Excel but i can't see data in it. Can you help me, please? I'm new in this.

    Did you enter a range in excel file?
    The range represents table name in the physical layer after you import excel file.
    See in this blog example:
    http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/06/obiee-excel-import-prepping-data.html
    Did you use import from database and select excel data source that you created in ODBC?
    I did the same and works for me.
    Save repository first and view data and check connection pool/data source name in your excel database folder.

  • Importing excel files - problem with single quote

    When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
    When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
    Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
    REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
    REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
    REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
    REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
    REM Error report:
    REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
    REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
    REM *Cause:   
    REM *Action:
    One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
    Thanks

  • How do i import excel files from my pc to my iPad 2 numbers app

    i was able to import PDF files from my PC to my iPad; however, if i try the same method to import Word or Excel docuements, the files do not import after i sync.
    Successful method to import PDF files form my PC to my iPad:
    open iTunes
    select my iPad in devises
    click on Apps
    select PDF app under File sharing
    click on Add
    select file from appropriate folder in my PC
    file now shows under share File sharing
    Sync
    file shows in my iPad in my PDF app
    this method does not work for word or Excel docs
    I am selecting Numbers and Pages respectively
    your help is greatly appreciated.

    You could use Icloud to do it.
    Turn on Icloud on your ipad in settings, icloud. You can have everything off if you want in icloud, but documents and data turn ON. Then on your computer go to www.icloud.com. * Click Iwork, numbers. Then just drag the files into there.
    *Install the plug in if its a pc.
    Thats the way I do it, so I cant walk you through the steps the other way off hand. Someone else might.

  • "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE" Error while importing Excel File

    Hello,
    I am getting following error while importing data from Excel 2003 to SQL server using SSIS 2008,  [Excel Source [1]] Error: There was an error with output "Excel Source Output" (9) on component "Excel Source" (1). The column status
    returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
    If i open the excel file and done any editing then the same file loads without any issue. Can you guide me why it's  happening ? , i have edited "TypeGuessRow" property to 0 , IMEX = 1 but no help.
    Thanks

    Hi Ved_Prakash,
    The error is generic and can occur due to various causes. In order to troubleshoot this issue, I need to clarify some information:
    Could you please post some sample data for that column in the error message?
    Have you modify some properties after accessing data from that Excel file?
    Since the error message is incomplete, could you post other error messages from the Output pane？
    Besides, we can also use

  • Importing Excel File Setup by Columns

    I have an engineer that is requesting data to be converted from an Excel file for use in DIAdem. The file is a compilation of data based on a search query in a database. Each line is a seperate occurance logged in the database. In the example below "TEMPERATURE MAXIMUM" was searched over a certain time period for a particular Unit ID. To import this into DIADEM I would want to make each unique UNIT ID a group, and each unique Definition Description as a channel name within the corresponding group. For the data I would want to have Begin Capture Time as a time channel ( it would need to be organized from earliest date to latest) with it's corresponding value placed into the channel named by the definition description.
    I also have the ability to export the fiel from the database program into a .csv file.
    Can this be done usign the standard import wizard. I was unable to find a way.

    Hi MK,
    You didn't see any difference because you didn't query the data in the file-- see the attached screenshot of what that looks like.  With a query you can pick exactly which rows you want to load from as many files as you want.  It's hard for me to guess your use case based on 14 rows of data that are all temperature.  Are you usual data files longer than this?  Do you ever have data other than Temperature in those data files?  Do you want to compare data from multiple files?
    I would welcome a set of ASCII files, if your process is to import those CSV or TXT files into Excel.  Then the DataPlugin could save you that steo as well.

  • Importing excel file to SQL Server

    I have an application that needs to import an excel file with
    10 columns of data into an SQL Server database table with 13
    columns of data. Two of the 3 extra database columns are manditory,
    and I need to manipulate the values going in.
    I've determined the best method to do this using coldfusion
    is to import the excel file into a cvs file then use SQL to import
    the cvs file into SQL server. Does anyone know how to import an
    excel document into a cvs file using ColdFusion?
    Thanks!

    A couple of things come to mind. You might consider using DTS
    to import your data directly into SQL Server from Excel, rather
    than putting ColdFusion in the middle. Or, you might consider
    creating a ColdFusion ODBC datasource out of your Excel file, use a
    cfquery to select the applicable data, then insert the data into
    SQL Server in a loop. Not very efficient, but it can be done.

  • Word Wrap -- Imported Excel File Doesn't

    I have a number of Excel files that I'm trying to work with in Numbers.
    In a number of cases the text I enter in a cell is longer than the width of the column. In Excel I indicated that this was text and that the program should wrap. The data transferred over showed the text as I need -- spilling to a second line when needed. But when I enter new text in the same sheet and same column the text is truncated to the width of the column. I have the "Wrap" button clicked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    In a previous post one of our Discussions colleagues was kind enough to suggest that I should read the User's Guide. Let me say that before I post here I do try the Help function and the User's Guide. Often it seems I lack the appropriate vocabulary / can't figure out how to ask / etc. I only post here when I can't figure it out.
    Also I am new to Numbers and am making an effort to switch from Excel. I wonder / fear that the files imported from Excel are not as "clean" as we might expect and so add to my challenges.
    Finally I have a few questions but for the sake of matching a specific solution to a specific issue I will post a number of questions rather than ask all my stuff in the same post.

    Sounds like Numbers (or the user) is setting only the individual cells to wrap. To apply that setting to a whole column, click on any cell in the table to make the row and column reference tabs appear, then click the reference tab for the desired column to select the whole column. Now click the Wrap checkbox to apply or remove the Wrap setting to/from all cells in the column.

    Understood. The Preface and Chapter 1 of the Numbers '09 User Guide provide a lot of the vocabulary specific to Numbers. You'll also learn a lot of that vocabulary by scanning the menus.
    Also I am new to Numbers and am making an effort to switch from Excel. I wonder / fear that the files imported from Excel are not as "clean" as we might expect and so add to my challenges.
    That's always a possibility, of course. Also, you'll find that Numbers does not support all of the functions and features found in MS Excel (although for many unsupported features, there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, or something similar, in Numbers).

    The import facility of Excel or Word Document is only on a PC system of Dreamweaver.
    File >> Import >> Excel Document
    File >> Import >> Word Document
    For mac system I understand this facility isn't there.  What can you do about this?
    1) Get hold of a PC and download a trial version of DW and import the file(s) and you are done;
    2) Ask a friend to do it for you;
    3) Post your excel file online and some nice guy like Nancy, john or Murray will help you out.
    Good luck and let us know if this has given you some more ideas to explore.
