Importing data file with multiple columns of data

Hi folks,
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere in the forum, but I have searched pretty thoroughly and can't find an answer!
I have a data file that I need to load into my BPC application. It has all 12 periods of 2008 across the top, correctly labelled as 2008.Jan, 2008.Feb, etc and account numbers down the side in column A.
In my transformation file, my Time dimension is mapped like so:
time=*myval(2:14) - remember the first column contains the account numbers
My question is, how do I map the AMOUNT to my data area in the file? I have looked through the online help (which is pretty rubbish) and have searched the forums to no avail, but I'm sure this is do-able easily.
Any help you could offer is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
All the best,
Jason

  • Import Illustrator File with multiple layers and sublayers as composition retaining all layers and sublayers

    I have drawn a country map with multiple layers and sublayers including streets, cities, rail lines, ...
    Now I want to create a template for my collegues in After Effects.
    For this I want to import the .ai file into After Effects retaining all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.
    When I do that, I get the first couple of layers correctly, the other ones comes in one merged composition.
    What can I do, to get all layers each as a layer in After Effects?
    Yours, Raphael

    Illustrator only imports the first level of layers. If you have groups or paths below you need to release the groups to layers. The layers will then be stacked in order as sub layers. Then you need to move them up.
    The steps are to select a layer in the Illustrator layer panel, then without selecting any specific element in the layer click on the menu in the top right corner and select release to layers. All a elements in that layer will be converted to layers. Now select them all and drag them up above the original layer. This will leave the original layer empty and put all elements in new layers.
    Here's a tutorial I did a zillion years ago which uses this technique to turn a blend into a morph.

  • How to import csv file with multiple tables into sql server

    I have multiple csv files that has one sheet but has 130 headers with each header having different data. 
    I'd like to import each one of these header rows with data into its own file in sql server. 
    I know very basic SSIS and am but am not familiar with the scripting in it though which what I assume I'd have to use. 
    Each header in the csv file is structured as such(also see example pic):
    first header would be this:                             
          ITEM = ORG_V                              
          DATE = 2013-07-22 10:00 ~ 2013-07-22 10:15      
    column names
    data
    second header would be this:
    ITEM = TER_V
          DATE = 2013-07-22 10:00 ~ 2013-07-22 10:15
    column names
    data
    The headers can be at any random row number as well as the data size in each excel file differs but they all start with "ITEM ="
    and then in the next row "DATE ="
    I could also convert these to excel files if it makes this process easier. 

    Why don't you put a filter on D3, filter out the blanks, copy/paste to a new CSV file, save it, and import it.
    There's no way you're going to get SQL to do that kind of thing for you.  The language is for set based operations, not for complex data manipulation tasks.
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

  • Downloading .xls file with multiple rows and Columns

    Hi ALL,
    I need to genarate .xls file with multiple rows and and Columns and sent as an email.Since our customer having Problem with .CSV files need to genarate .XLS file.
    Please do the needful.
    Thanks
    Madhu

    Hi Madhu,
    You might also consider using Excel Spreadsheet XML as the target structure (namespace is urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet).  When you double-click the resulting xml on a PC it automatically opens with Excel. So, users don't see a difference.  It will open up a lot of options with formatting including creating multiple worksheets if you wanted to.  Best of all you can stick with XML.
    See my response in this thread:

  • Importing From Flat File with Dynamic Columns

    HI
    I am using ssis 2008,i have folder in which I have Four(4) “.txt” files each file will have 2 columns(ID, NAME). I loaded 4
    files in one destination, but today I receive one more “.txt” file here we have 3 columns (ID, NAME, JOB) how can I get a message new column will receive in source. And how can I create in extra column in my destination table dynamically …please help me

    Hi Sasidhar,
    You need a Script Task to read the names and number of columns in the first row of the flat file each time and store it in a variable, then create a staging table dynamically based on this variable and modify the destination table definition if one ore more
    new columns need to be added, and then use the staging table to load the destination table. I am afraid there is no available working script for your scenario, and you need some .NET coding experience to achieve your goal. Here is an example you can refer
    to:

    Hi,
    The structure what you have created wrong, create this structure and change occurrence of DATA to 1 to unbounded.if you want to read multiple records (same structure) then it is not required to create same structure multiple times.
    *<DATA>+ 1 to unbounded.*

  • List with multiple column

    hello all ,
    how to create a list with multiple columns ? can anyone share some examples or code snippets

    What I would usually do is create a movieclip/sprite that contains a row with every column in it (each column being a textfield).  Then pile up the rows one atop the other (using Actionscript) as they are populated with data.

  • Flat File with multiple record types (OWB 10.2.0.2)

    Hi!
    I`m using OWB 10.2.0.2 and I`m trying to load a flat file with multiple record types, using SQL LOADER.
    In the flat file editor in the Record tab, I`ve set the type values and the corresponding record names like this:
    Type Value Record Name
    ======== ===========
    T TRAILER
    0 DETAILS
    1 DETAILS
    2 DETAILS
    When using this flat file in a mapping to load the data in a staging table, the generated code looks like this:
    INTO TABLE TRAILER
    TRUNCATE
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    WHEN (1:1) = 'T'
    INTO TABLE DETAILS
    APPEND
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2'
    The above clause (WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2') is wrong as I expect one "INTO TABLE..." clause for each record type.
    Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Yorgos

    We`re using two target tables, one for the trailer record and the other for the details records.
    We are facing this problem from the moment we upgraded from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2.0.2, so we think it must be something with the way the sql loader code is generated in the new version.
    As our data sources are mainly flat files coming from mainframes, this is a huge problem for us. We even asked an expert in DW from Oracle to help us on this, but still haven`t found a solution.
    Is there any workaround for this or should we forget sql loader and go with an external tables + custom PL/SQL code solution?
    Your help is greatly appreciated Jean-Pierre.

    Yorgos

    but data is not uploading can ypu please suggest the solution.
    Is there any function module to upload with multiple field seperators
    Example of flat file:

    HI Raghu,
               Use the function module 'GUI_UPLOAD'.
               In that you have to specify the field_separator value = 'X' in export section.

  • Issues with multiple Files with multiple subdbs on a single environment.

    I'm having an issue with Berkeley DB 4.2 on 32-bit platforms, regarding multiple physical files with multiple subdatabases in a single database environment. Specifically, when I open a subdatabase for a physical file, Berkeley DB thinks that it is using the same subdatabase in a different physical file.
    I'm doing the following:
    1. Create and open a db enviornment.
    2. Move file1 to the common area.
    3. Open, get and close the subdatabases in file1.
    4. Move file2 to the common area.
    5. Open, get and close the subdatabases in file2.
    6. remove file2 from the common area
    7. Move file3 to the common area.
    8. Open a subdatabase from file3. About 1/2 the time, the fetches
    return data from file2, not from file3.
    It's possible that at some earlier time (i.e. before step 1 of this
    test case), file1, file2 and file3 were the same file. I noticed
    that there is something called env->fileid_reset, but that is not
    in 4.2.52.
    Any ideas?

    Looks like I've resolved the issue

    the format with multiple columns i dont believe will show you the value 2x, but allows you to display the values across instead of down.
    i think you may want to use a sub report

    You didn't answer probably the most important question: whether you're using hardware or software Mercury Playback Engine (MPE). However, since you've set Maximum Render Quality on, it's largely irrelevant.
    When you're using hardware MPE or have the MRQ flag set for your export, rendering is performed with linear color. Linear color processing affects how color channels and alpha channels are composited--anything less than 100% opacity is subject to linear color processing. Check out this article for more information on linear color/linear light: Linear Light - Artbeats
    Since it sounds like you're seeing the results you expect in the Program Monitor, but not export, I'll wager you're not using hardware MPE. Only by disabling the Maximum Render Quality flag on export will you be able to get results that match what you see in the Program Monitor (within reason, of course). The only way you could see the effects of linear color within Premiere would be to either use a qualified GPU that enables hardware MPE, or go into your Sequence Settings and check the "Maximum Render Quality" option and then render previews.
    Please let me know if that helps resolve the issue, or at least provide a little insight into the problem.
