Has anyone seen an issue when trying to export to excel within Discoverer, when clicking the export button,it always seems to want to save the file and not open Excel and import.
I can browse to the file location then open the file, but not auto import.
Is there a default action or macro to turn on?
Many thanks

  • Importing .xml to Excel

    Hi,
    Is there any way to import the .xml files created with LiveCycle directly to Excel (without having to use Acrobat)?
    Thank you.
    Gastón

    Excel supports *.xml files, so you can just open them in Excel, but there's no way to, for example, take a directory full of *.xml files and open them all in Excel as a single sheet.
    But, you could write some script in Excel to do that - for example, have your script create a master sheet, then iterate through each of the xml files you have and add rows to that sheet based on the contents of the xml file.

  • Is it possibke to extract import data from excel file not csv type

    I am getting training from somebody, who is telling me the excel file has to be type csv only to extract and import the excel data for creating infoobjects, is that true.
    Please kindly provide steps, if any one has steps to extract the excel data while creating info object.
    I am going thru an excersise for creating info objects, but while brining the excel csv file data to info objects do i again need to create each field column and its attributes etc.
    Thank you all for the helpful info.

    Hi
    If you want to load data from excel to BW(Info Objects or data source), then file should be in excel format. to import the data system directly import it into excel sheet(normal one)
    to load the data you should have all values and attributes in your excel sheet which you have created in BW system.

  • I need a digital camcorder that imports direct to iMovie - any ideas

    I have been using a MiniDV JVC camcorder to import direct into iMovie - worked great but the camcorder heads are now worn out. So I use an Hitachi HD flash card camcorder that outputs AVI files. I then have to convert through Handbrake to get a useable file for iMovie.
    This is much too slow as I produce lots of short video for customers - is there a better direct camera to get files straight into iMovie or should I use different software on the mac?
    Last resort, I have been told to buy a pc to use for producing edited DVD movies - I don't really want to move off the mac - HELP?

    Wow...good question.
    Do your FCP setups have capture cards? You could send a signal from the toaster machine to FCP via the capture card and recapture the footage in FCP. Will take a while, but it should work.

  • Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro

    Hi All,
    I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
    How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
    jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
    Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
              import java.io.File;
              import java.util.Date;
              import jxl.*;
             Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
    On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access  individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the  second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
              Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
    After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
    String a1 = a1.getContents();
    String b2 = b2.getContents();
    String c2 = c2.getContents();
    // perform operations on strings
    However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
      String a1 = null;
      Double b2 = 0;
      Date c2 = null;
                        Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                        Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                        Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                        if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                           LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                           stringa1 = lc.getString();
                         if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                           NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                           numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                          if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                            DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                            datec2 = dc.getDate();
                           // operate on dates and doubles
    It is recommended to, use the close()  method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.              
              // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
              workbook.close();
    The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.
    Regards

  • Error while importing data from excel to forms

    Hi,
    I am working on Oracle forms 10g, and I'm supposed to import data from excel sheet to forms.
    While the user enters the data,sometimes after entering a particular word he/she hits the alt+enter button.
    As a result the data appears in two lines in a single row
    So,when I try to import the data it's not importing the data in a right manner.
    S0,I want to replace this linefeed and carry with five spaces.
    Eg:The user instead of entering Geekpedia enters Geek
    pedia
    in the excel sheet.
    Now when I import this in the forms I want it to be imported as Geek Pedia.(5 spaces between Geek and pedia).

    Maybe you can consider save excel as .csv files and then you can load them as flatfiles to external table in OWB.

  • Import directive

    Hi,
    what does it really do the import directive/statement?
    Please don't tell me it includes all the bytecodes from the packages used in the bytecodes generated from the java class which use them.
    Please help.
    Marla

    The purpose of the import is to provide a shorthand to refer to classes in another package, without typing the entire fully qualified class name for each class in the external package each time it is used. It makes a package or an individual class available. And it manages namespaces.
    com.mycompany.model.Foo myFoo = new com.mycompany.model.Foo();
    vs
    import com.mycompany.model.Foo;
    <... class definition here ...>
    Foo myFoo = new Foo();
    When the compiler encounters the import statement, it searches the directories specified by the CLASSPATH looking for subdirectories that match the package structure in the import statement, and seeks compiled files of the appropriate name in the final directory.

  • Crashes while importing TIFFs.  Also, how to import directly into an album?

    Just got Aperture last night in the mail. Upgraded to 1.1.1.
    I have about 250 CDs with TIFF images that I've created over the years. The TIFF files were created by a Nikon film scanner. Some of those images were later re-touched and re-saved using Photoshop.
    In any event, I started importing all those CDs into Aperture to consolidate all my photographs in one place. On the first CD, Aperture crashed unexpectedly for no reason. The Aperture database would also get corrupted and I would have to delete it, and start from scratch.
    Here's what I discovered. If I wait for Aperture to generate a thumbnail of all the images in the CD before I click on the "Import All" button, there are four images in the CD for which Aperture does not generate a thumbnail. Furthermore, if I tried to import the same CD into iPhoto, all files but those four would get imported. At least iPhoto doesn't crash, and after the import is finished it would tell me that four photographs could not be imported because the format was not recognized. The interesting thing is that Photoshop can open every single file on the CD (again, all of them are TIFF images)
    So my (painful) workaround is to import all my CDs into iPhoto first, and then import into Aperture from iPhoto, which works very well. That way the Aperture repository doesn't get corrupted.
    So, question 1: does anybody know if there's a special setting in Aperture that would stop it from crashing and gracefuly skip over any photographs that it can't recognize?
    Question 2: I want to import every single CD into its own album so I later know what CD I can find the image on. Aperture seems to import always onto the project, not the album. Is there a way around this?
    When I import into iPhoto, I create an empty album and then drag the files from the CD onto that album. If I then import the iPhoto album into Aperture, Aperture automatically creates an album, which is nice. I'd love to do the same but with iPhoto out of the picture (excuse the pun). That would speed up the import process tremendously.
    Thanks for your help,
    Julian

    Are there two questions here?
    1. You can indeed create an album under a Project in advance and Import direct to that. One Album per CD? Works fine. Just point the Import Arrow at the Album. NOTE: the Masters are actually held in the Project (this is true across Aperture) and Pointers are held in the Album .... but the effect is of Albums with photos > Project containing all the photos.
    2. These TIF files are not corrupt, if Photoshop or iPhoto opens them. This has got to be an Aperture bug and I have the same issues with TIF's. Created a thread about it, so I hope the Aperture development team did read it (please, please, please). You could convert in Photoshop to .PSD vs. resaving (unless this is what you did) as I haven't noted this problem with .PSD files

  • Is there a way to import data from excel -when one of the columns in excel is hyperlink column?

     Is there a way to import data from excel  - so if a column is hyperlink - the whole data will move to the list (text + link of the hyperlink column)?
    keren tsur

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to export excel which contains a hyperlink column to SharePoint list.
    Refer to the following steps:
    Open the Excel, insert/create the table. 
    Now click on any cell of table and go to the ‘Design Tools’.
    Click on the Export and then ‘Export table to SharePoint List’.
    You will see a popup where you need to provide the URL of SharePoint site, list name and description.
    Then click on next, On the next screen you will see columns with data types which are going to create in SharePoint list.
    Now click finish and wait until the operation gets finished. You will see that list gets created in SharePoint site with the records.
    Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

  • Convert/Import TDMS to Excel

    So I have some LabVIEW code which logs to TDMS just fine.  I installed the TDMS Excel Add on to Excell 2007 and it imports the TDMS just fine and it looks good.
    What I would like do do now is instead of just having that TDMS file, I would also like to have the XLS equivalent as well.  As if I imported the TDMS in Excel, and then went to save the workbook as XLS or XLSX.  So I wanted to programatically import the TDMS file, get the active workbook from Excel, and then programatically save the active workbook as XLS, or XLSX in the same directory as the original TDMS.
    I'm having problems with the first step of my plan.  I see here there are some details about how to call the TDMS import using ActiveX but when I use it I get an error.  Calling  ShowAboutDlg or ShowConfigDlg work just fine, but when I call the Import it I get a "An unknown error occured: 0x80004003" which I believe is a invalid pointer.
    Attached is the VI I was using to try to import a TDMS file.  Saved in 8.20, running TDM Importer 3.1.0.25, with Excel 2007, on XP SP3. Thanks.
    EDIT: The VI is pointing to a TDMS file which comes with LabVIEW 2009, this path may need to be changed.

    Import TDMS 82.vi ‏9 KB

    Yeah sorry forgot that I used that OpenG VI, attached is another version which doesn't use it for those of you not on the OpenG bandwagon.
    I've been using this VI for a little while now and it's worked great on several machines.  But recently I've started to see problems where I get an error 97, LabVIEW:  Null Refnum was passed in as input.
    This happens for me coming out of the property node ITDMAddin.  I probed the reference going in and its value is 0, with the variant data also of value 0.  Any ideas on how this could happen or what can be done. 
    I changed the COMAddIn propety node from Object to Description and the string is "National Instruments TDM Importer for MS Excel" So that makes me believe that I am getting the reference to the AddIn but for some reason the Object property returns a value of 0.
    EDIT: Okay I think I figured it out, if Open New Instance is TRUE for the Open Automation it works fine. Not sure why but it fixes it, a new version with the fix is up.

    You're not on 1.2.1? That's the latest production release. When you import from xls, into a table, you need to be sure to match your columns on the second tab.
    So on tab1, you need to shuttle the columns you will import into. Then the second tab, you need to match the Data Types. You can check that the Import will work by reviewing the DML in the last tab.

    Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
    I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
    Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
    Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!
