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.

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

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.

I've imported an Excel file, but the columns won't add up or respond to formulas?

Hey everyone
I'm working out my expenses for the year for the taxman. Lion won't open my Excel files, so I grabbed Numbers and opened it there. The data is all intact but the "total" cell no longer update, and I get formula error messages when I try to create new sums. Any clues to a workaround?
Thanks
C

Hello Badunit
The formula was using SUBTOTAL()
In fact, when I urged him to put the formula =SUM(D), the OP just inserted a new standard row so, of course, he got the error flagged by the red triangle.
In the imported file, the cells embeddinbg the subtotals were flagged by a blue triangle (top_left)
The import process ended with a long, dense report describing the changes brought to the original document.
No need to post it here, on my machine it's in French
When I got the doc I was just puzzled during 10 seconds because the currency, in the Numbers document filed by the OP was displayed in front of the amount £UK123,45 when the import of the XL document was delivering tables with values displayed as 123,45 £UK
But it didn't mattered.
When I inserted two footer rows,
one for the imported totals,
one for the formulas =SUM(column) both documents behaved the same correct way.
As I have no practice of XL, I don't know if headers and footers with the Numbers meaning exist in this app.
If they don't, it's not surprising that newbies are surprised.

"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
SQL Server Import Export Wizard to import Excel into SQL Server database.

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).

Import Excel file to update project

I’m trying to update my current project activities with codes in User Defined Fields created in another version of the project. Everything seems to be okay up to the point when I’m selecting the project to import the excel file to. I try and select a project, but there are no projects displayed (I’m actually trying to do this from within the project I want to import to). Is this something to do with the Citrix system my software is running on or what? Searching the internet, I found something that says I have to have exclusive privileges as an “Admin Superuser” or an “Project Superuser” whatever they are – I couldn’t even find that option under Admin Users.
Many thanks.

You need to login as an admin user and go to User Access. Check the Global Security Profile column for your user in the user access. This is where the settings are eefined of Admin user and Project supervisor

Can't import excel file using Powerpivot Import Table Wizard

I am new to the powerpivot in 2010 Excel. I was trying to use the Powerpivot's import table wizard to import an Excel file into Powerpivot. I was able to connect the target source file when I was in the wizard window testing the connection.
However, after I accepted to import the file and clicked finished, I couldn't see all the columns of the file were completely uploaded into the PowerPivot worksheet. Also, the file has only 138 rows but it ends up over thousands row. Can you please
let me kow if this feature works at all or did I miss any steps?
