Importing excel data into ZAM 7.5 using SQL2005

Hi,
I am running ZAM 7.5 and have about 6500 workstation records in inventory. I have an excel spreadsheet that has been maintained for several years with some demographic info in it such as Site, Department, Building, etc for about 4000 of those workstations. I would like to get that information into the ZAM SQL2005 database. Can I import the data into the SQL database directly or is there a tool to do it? There are no purchase records tied to this data so using the purchase record import does not seem like an option. Any advice?
Thanks,
Jay

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Imran

Help with Importing Excel Data into Formatted Tables

This is my first post, here, so please be gentle!
I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I am creating a 70-pg manufacturer's price book. A very large portion of each page is going to be size and price information imported from a large Excel spreadsheet.
I have created the table format that I'd like to use for each page, but the trouble comes when I import the Excel data into that table. For some reason, when I import, it all dumps into one cell. Would it be best to import as an unformatted table, and then format the table each time, or is there a way to simply import the data into my pre-formatted table? I've seen how the former is done, but the latter seems much easier (...although that could be my inexperience talking).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Laura (V1500)

Thank you both so much for your time! This is exactly what I needed.

Importing excel date into InDesign

Ok so I have a load of names badges to do, name (in blue and bold 18 pt), job title (12 point bold, black) then company (10 point regular).
Now I am currently copy and pasting the text in and using character styles to get it in the right format, but this is taking me a long time. I know there must be a way where I have maybe three text boxes set and it pastes in and automatically does the styles for me,
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks,
Dave

Read about Data Merge in the help files.
This might also be a way to handle the page numbering, but probably not the best. More in your other thread after I read what Eugene had to say.

Import excel data from OWB10.2

I wanted to import excel data into OWB 10gr2. So i have followed the steps in the attached link. But i cannot perform the operations from step 6 in OWB 10rR2.
In OWB10.2 how could i create a new database link. Inorder to create a new module below ODBC i have to give the location. I cannot create the location.
Step 6: Create an ODBC Source Module and a Database Link
Use the following steps to create an ODBC source module and database link:
1. From the Warehouse Builder console, create an ODBC source module. On the
navigation tree, ODBC modules are listed under the Others node of the Databases
node.
2. On the Connection Information page, click New Database Link to create a new
database link that reads data using the data source created. Figure 3–3 shows the
entries used on the New Database Link dialog.
Note: Ensure that the initialization parameter GLOBAL_NAMES is set
to FALSE in the database's initialization parameter file. FALSE is the
default setting for this parameter.
Step 6: Create an ODBC Source Module and a Database Link
3-4 Oracle Warehouse Builder Case Book
Figure 3–3 New Database Link Dialog
Notice that the Oracle Service Name field uses the Oracle system identifier
specified for the agent.
3. Ensure that the Use for Heterogeneous Services option is selected.
Because you are not accessing an Oracle database, you can enter any value for
username and password.
4. Create and test this database link. Close the New Database Link dialog.
5. Leave the Schema name <unspecified>. Click the Change Schema button and
select <unspecified>. The Connection Information page now looks as shown in
Figure 3–4.
Step 8: Create a Mapping to Load Data Into the Target Table
How Do I Load Data Stored in a Microsoft Excel File? 3-5
Figure 3–4 Connection Information Page
6. Create a new deployment location for the module or specify an existing location.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Cases/case3.pdf
But i cannot create in OWB10.2.
Can any body suggest me the process.

Gillies,
I am not able to create a new location for ODBC in connection explorer.
Which option should i consider. Should i consider database link or host:port:service or sql*net connection. suppose If i take database link option what is the description i have to enter in database link box. Should i create a database link manually from sql*plus.

Import excel data for labview control

Where in the code are you reading from the Excel Spreadsheet? What VIs are you using? What are the problems are you experiencing (errors, unexpected values, etc.)?
There is a Read From Spreadsheet File.vi in LabVIEW. LabVIEW uses ActiveX controls for .xlsx files, so saving the spreadsheet as a CSV file may be better for this VI. Try it out! See what happens.
Here some more info on reading from spreadsheets:

Inability to import Excel data with xlsx or xlsm extensions

Inability to import Excel data with xlsx or xlsm using Microsoft Project Standard V14 Import Wizard.

Nothing no wizard or data when when trying xlsx.

Thank you in advance.   Pete

Pete H --
No, it is not possible to import Excel files with either the xlsx or the the xlsm file extension. This is simply a limitation of the Import/Export Wizard. Sorry. Hope this helps.

How do i import excel data base into pdf form drop down field

Hi,
I have a table of about 2500 rows and three columns that i would like to import into a drop down window on a PDF form to be self populated when item selected rather than entering the data. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
I did not know only two entries for each option item is it. I have manually entered data in the drop down an list boxes. With 2500 lines of data I was hoping there was an easier way other than manually entering the data.
I have no knowledge of Java Scripting.....
I was just wondering if there was a way from an Excel spreadsheet to import that data into a PDF form to be selectable to populate PDF fields in a form. It doesn't sound like it.
Thanks......

The fastest way is to use external tables or sql loader (sqlldr). (If you use external tables or sql loader, you don't use C# at all).

How to import MS Excel data into an exisiting SharePoint List?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to import an excel list or excel data into a SharePoint List that has already been created? Not create a new list.
I know you can import a spreadsheet which will create a new list, but I don't want that because I have created columns already that do calculations and such and I don't want to recreate them....
It can be either an excel or access list, but I want to make sure the pre-existing columns in still my SharePoint list.

Sure,
Go to list datasheet view in IE
Open excel and copy the range
Paste in datasheet view
If column range match and validation overcome, data will start pasting as expected.

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

Importing excel file into OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
I am trying to import excel file into OBIEE and would like to use it as a data source. Fro this, I have already created an excel file (using MS excel 2007) with some sample data and named the data ranges with in the excel sheet as well. and I have placed that file under C:\ drive directly. And then created DSN and made sure that it points to the excel file.
When I go to Administration tool -> Import from Database -> seelct ODBS 3.5 and selected my DSN and clicked OK. Here I have not provided the user name and password (though I have provided the username/pwd as Administrator it is not taking).
when I click ok, it is throwing the following error :

Upload excel data into Internal table

Hi,
I'm trying to upload excel data into internal table, well the excel file layout will be different on each run of the report.
Excel file will have 60 columns and 500 record limit. I can upload the excel data using 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' and 'KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT' but the output table is generates 60 lines for each record i.e.., 60 * 500 = 30,000 which could cause performance.
I try with the FM 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP', but this will only work if the file structure is static. It didn't work for dynamic file layout. Even GUI_UPLOAD doesn't work to upload excel file, it will work if I convert the file to Tab delimited file.
Please advise if you know any alternate procedure to upload excel data into internal table.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Want to load excel data into oracle table with out changing it to CSV

Hello all,
I have a requirement in dumping excel data into oracle database table without changing it to CSV file and this has to be used in normal sql/plsql environment i.e., pkg/procedure cant be used in the forms also...
so, can u guys can help me out in this
thanks.............

The link Pavan provided discusses Oracle Heterogeneous Services. This allows you (using ODBC) to create a database link from Oracle to a non-Oracle data source like Excel. This would allow you to query the Excel data source from SQL*Plus or any other client tool. But that is probably going to require that your Oracle database is running on Windows since I'm not aware of any Excel ODBC drivers for Unix.
Another potential option would be to write a Java stored procedure that parsed the file. There are a few different Java libraries that can read and write Excel data files. You could load one of those libraries into the database's JVM and then write Java code that parsed the file. You would then be able to call your Java stored procedure from PL/SQL.

Ability to Import Spreadsheet Data into Table in Apps added Anytime Soon??

I love HTMLDB so much, and I thought I would never find anything it couldn't do, but I have run headlong into a problem that I've discovered many users have.
The Import Spreadsheet Data into Table functionality available in Data Workshop is such a treasure, and I was hoping with all of my heart that such functionality would be available for use inside the User Applications in HTMLDB 2.0. Alas, it is not so.
I know some brave folks have come up with work-arounds for this lack, and I applaud them. However, none of those will work for the situation I am faced with. I am about to strike out into the no-man's-land of trying to create my own PL/SQL csv file parsing function. Please wish me luck. Also, could you please tell me if this functionality is going to be included anytime soon?

Well I looked at the FLOWS_020000.WWV_FLOW_LOAD_DATA.LOAD_CSV_DATA procedure
From what I can gather(considering nobody cant look at the actual procedural code):
P_FILE_ID seems to be file id you find in FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$
P_CNAMES seems to be the column names of table you are loading into
P_UPLOAD seems to be the names of field from file you are loading
P_SCHEMA seems to be the schema that contains table where data will be loaded
P_TABLE seems to be table that you load data into
P_DATA_TYPE seems to be the datatypes from file to be loaded
P_DATA_FORMAT not sure
P_PARSED_DATA_FORMAT not sure
P_SEPARATOR seems to be the field seperator from file
P_ENCLOSED_BY seems to be what fields will be enclosed with
P_FIRST_ROW_IS_COL_NAME seems to be to tell whether or not first row contains column headings
P_LOAD_TO not sure
P_CURRENCY seems to be the currency symbol that comes from file
P_NUMERIC_CHARS not sure
P_CHARSET not sure
P_LOAD_ID not sure
Essentially you could run this process provided you get all the kinks worked out(that is what all the parameters mean/are expected)...
...or..
you write your own process:
- that reads the blob/clob content line by line
declare
n number;
buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
(do some sort of loop until end of length of lob)
n := dbms_lob.instr( "your lob", ',',"next comma position" );
if ( nvl(n,0) > 0 )
then
buffer := dbms_lob.read( p_lob, "amount of lob length to read", n);
end if;
end;
The above code with some tweaking will read the lob. However you still will have to add a piece that creates sql insert statement. One of the pitfalls I see with custom code is the fact that if you end up with huge lob string you will run into problem of creating sql insert statement. Not the actual statement but assigning the statement to a variable due to datatype lengths.
Hopefully this will help you more in the right direction!
