Import xls file

Hi everyone. Im trying to load an xls or txt file with an esscmd script without a data-load-rule. The problem is that some cells are empty on the sheet of the xls file and in the text file there are some side-by-side tab (separator). When essbase load files, 2 or more spaces are detect as one and all datas are shifted. Can you tell me how can i do to load correctly this type of files? Thanks in advance. Fabrice.

Yes, that's true. In that case I can only see two options: 1. Pre-retrieve the current database values into the sheet and have the users overwrite those that are changed. This preserves both the tab-spacing and non-missing values in the database. 2. Build a load rule. Steve

Import xls file using SSIS

Hello All,
I am using Visual studio 2008 R2 and i have file which is in xls format.I tried to import the file but i am getting error like "external table is not in the expected format".I tried in different ways like use IMEX = 1 and debug property set 64bit
= false.
while importing i used 97-2003 in excel source .
My altered connection string is " Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Computer\Mathew\MYFile.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX = 1 ;MAXSCANROWS = 15;READONLY = FALSE";"
If i manually open the file and save as the same extension (97-2003) no issues for importing.But my file is dynamic and it picks everyday and use the data flow task to import xls from source ,getting the error which i mentioned above.
But still i am facing the same issue. Do anyone face this kind of issue before and please help me or suggest me to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Mathew George

Hi Mathew,
The error "External table is not in the expected format" usually occurs because the format of the Excel file is not supported by the Excel driver, for example, it will occur if we try to connect to a .xlsx file using the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Given the situation that the issue appears after you resave the Excel file as .xls, it seems the source .xls file is not the exact Excel 97-2003 format.
One possible solution is to use the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider other than the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider. Besides, I saw that you encounterred the error "Could not find installed ISAM" when using the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider.
This error may occur because of the extra space between Excel 12.0 and the following semi-colon in the Extended Properties. For example, "Excel 12.0 ;HDR=YES;" will cause this error, and we should use "Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;". Be sure to use the Excel 12.0 other
than Excel 8.0 extended property because the Excel 12.0 works with both .xls format file and .xlsx format file. Here is a screenshot for your reference:

Adobe Livecycle Designer 8 to import XLS file data

Hi,
I have several pdf forms using excel files with data. These excel files work as a data repository, send periodically to us by another department. We then use the pdf forms to generate the final documentation.
I had them working with Designer 7, using ADBC. I know now that i have to use another approach because Designer 8 does not let me work with ADBC anymore.
There are some articles showing how to modify some registry values in order to enable ADBC, but adobe does not recommend that. According to what i've read it could be referred as a security issue. So it doesn´t seem to be the right approach.
Does anyone has some idea how to make this work in designer 8 ?
What i want to do is a data connection to an xls file, and let the pdf show the data.
TIA,

Did you ever figure out a way to do this? I have a similar problem that I have been working on for quite a while. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gabe

BPC NW 7.5 IMPORT.XLS Files missing

Hi All,
I have a scenario, here I have uploaded my .CSV file, the normal process in Data Manager the source file is loaded, but when I try click on destination file and click on private it got saved. But when I go into System Aministrative Folder, I can't find the ImportMasterData, but instead I archive and other option. Is there anything I'm missing.
I find the following post was not pointing me into right direction.
Re: While importing file error msg - 7.5NW.
Please advise
Zan
Edited by: Muhd Rikhzan on Dec 10, 2010 4:19 AM

Hi Zan,
Search 'Import Master Data' package in 'Data Management' folder instead of 'System Administrator' folder.
If you dont find then create a new package with standard BW process chain 'Import_Master'. If you cannot find this process chain, then you need to activate BI standard content.

.xls file import error (P6 v7.0)

Hello,
There is a problem to import .xls file.
Usually, when I click Finish Button, there is a message that informing the result whether it is succesful or not.
But, when I click Finish Button, there is no message and P6 stopped.
Please help me.
I use Win 7, and DB is oracle 10g.
Thank you.

Without some more information and troubleshooting it's hard to determine exactly what is wrong.
If I had to take a guess I would suggest you look at your local Oracle installation. You mentioned already having oracle sql plus10g installed but do you have a full fledged database server installation or just the 10g client installed?
P6v7 Standalone by default installs Oracle XE. As it sounds like you already had at the very least a 10g client installation look at the TNSNAMES.ORA file and confirm there is an entry for your P6 database instance. You may also find that if the client is installed multiple times that there is more than one TNSNAMES.ORA. In that case I believe what happens is whichever one is first in the PATH statement will be utilized (unless you explicitly set it up differently).

Import CSV data to an existing populated XLS file

Hi Guys,
Looking for some assistance, with some powershell I have never done before.. and don't know where to start..
I have a CSV file that contains some data - Several items exported from a standard powershell command.
I also have an XLS file that has been manually populated for the last 6 months with data.
What I want to get to (and have started with exporting the data to csv) is for the script to run, and add the data from the CSV to the XLS in the already exisiting colum heading.
SO in the first row - we need to add the date, followed by adding data under each subsequent column that already has a heading..
Anyone got any suggestions on where to start with this? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allan Harding

I think your question is a bit too broad and vague.
If you are not a scripter then I recommend asking in the Exxcel forum. THey will help you learn how to use Excel tomerge data tables.
If you want to scrpt this then youneed to start by learning how to write a script. YOu will want to use Import-Csv and the Excel object model.
If this is critical then I recommend contacting a consultant.

Importing protected .xls files

How can I import protected (protected with a pw I mean) .xls files in numbers? Tx

None of the iWork apps can open password-protected Office files. You have to have the sender remove the password & send it again or you can use Office or one of the free clones such as LibreOffice.

can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.

Can't open .xls files created by Numbers

All of a sudden, using Numbers '09 I can no longer open certain .xls files that I created in the first place by saving .numbers files as Excel files (using the "Save copy as Excel Document" checkbox in the Save As... dialog box). Some will open, but the vast majority attempt to open, and then I get an "Import Error - An unknown error occurred." message. Backed up copies of the same files produce the same result. New .numbers files I save as Excel documents can't open either.
Background: Earlier tonight while saving a .numbers file as an Excel Document, the blue "progress" bar got about halfway and then just hung there. Having not rebooted the computer for a couple of weeks, and lots of apps open, I proceeded to shut down other processes and eventually the blue progress bar finished and an Excel file was saved. However, after rebooting the computer, the above inability to open Excel files started to occur. Something in the "save as" process must have corrupted?
I quit Numbers, deleted the com.apple.iwork.numbers.plist file from Library/preferences, emptied trash, and restarted Numbers -- but that didn't solve the problem.
What would you all suggest now at this point? Would reinstalling Numbers solve this? (hmmn, where is that disc?) I'm personally fine with the .numbers format, but my clients are not, hence the need to save as Excel documents. Any help would be appreciated!

ack, this whole thing is frustrating. I can create new .numbers documents, save them as Excel documents, and those resulting .xls documents will open fine. HOWEVER, if I grab an old .xls document from a time machine backup (over a month ago), I cannot open it. Nor can I open an newly saved .xls document saved from the same original .numbers file.
It would seem that the only thing I can do now is take those old .numbers files and copy/paste the content into a brand new .numbers file. After saving as, the resulting .xls files open fine (with the usual "import warnings", but I'm used to those )

How do I add an attachment (xls file in my case) to the pdf

Hello,
I need to add a excel file as attachment in the generated PDF form.
Someone could tell me if this is possible and how to do it?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
I did little research and found that we can attach any attachment to Interactive form.
1.Get the XLS attachment(You can add File Upload UI Element(Say XLS) to your Application and Bind data,filename and mime Type Properties)   with this , user can choose the XLS file to be attached from Desk top.
2. In the Interactive UI Element,bind the property "pdfsource" (Say PDF_SOURCE), this will contains the PDF in xstring format.
3. Add a button (Say Attach XLS) on the application and add an Action Method.(Say ADD)
4.in the Action Method(ADD) of the Button, follow the Steps.
    1. Get the File(XLS File) Uploaded,Mimi Type from File Uploade UI Element(Say lv_xls_data,lv_mimetype,lv_file_name)
     2. get the pdf source( PDF_SOURCE) from Interactive form.(Say lv_pdf_source)
     use the Following Code
DATA: l_fp           TYPE REF TO if_fp,
        l_pdfobj       TYPE REF TO if_fp_pdf_object,
        l_pdf          TYPE xstring,
        l_att          TYPE xstring,
        l_fpex         TYPE REF TO cx_fp_runtime,
        l_type         TYPE string,
        l_errmsg       TYPE string,
        l_short        TYPE sdba_actid,
        l_ext          TYPE sdba_funct,
        l_filename     TYPE skwf_filnm,
        l_mimetype     TYPE skwf_mime,
        l_attachment   TYPE sfpattachments,
        l_attachments TYPE tfpattachments,
        l_len          TYPE i,
        l_tab          TYPE tsfixml,
        p_dest         TYPE rfcdest .
MOVE cl_fp=>get_ads_connection( ) TO p_dest.
l_mimetype   = lv_mimetype.
* Get FP reference.
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
TRY.
*     Create PDF Object.
      l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = p_dest ).
*     Set document.
      l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_pdf_source ).
       l_attachment-FILENAME = lv_file_name."Name of the Attached File.
      l_attachment-mimetype    = lv_mimetype.
      l_attachment-description = 'XLS_Attachment'.
     l_attachment-data        = lv_xls_data."XLS File to Be attached .
      INSERT l_attachment INTO TABLE l_attachments.
      l_pdfobj->set_attachments( attachments = l_attachments ).
*     Execute, call ADS.
      l_pdfobj->execute( ).
*     Get result.
      l_pdfobj->get_document( IMPORTING pdfdata = l_pdf ).
    CATCH cx_fp_runtime_internal INTO l_fpex.           "#EC NO_HANDLER
    CATCH cx_fp_runtime_system INTO l_fpex.             "#EC NO_HANDLER
    CATCH cx_fp_runtime_usage INTO l_fpex.              "#EC NO_HANDLER
ENDTRY.
Finally "l_pdf" contains the PDF with Attached XLS and you can send this as PDF Document.
Thanks.
