Importing from Excel as data source

Hi,
I developed rpd using Excel as a data source,rpd is consistent & i'm able to view the datas correctly in rpd.
But in Presentation Services it was throwing me an error when im combining columns from two different tables.
SELECT TransLog.Device_ATM_POS saw_0, RespCodes.R_C_NAME saw_1 FROM JPMC ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: -3079 message: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Type mismatch in expression.. [nQSError: 16002] Cannot obtain number of columns for the query result. (HY000)
Also my Date Format while viewing data is (e.x: 28-OCT-08); In presentation services,the error is,
SELECT TransLog.TRL_DATE_LOCAL_TXN saw_0 FROM JPMC ORDER BY saw_0
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 01-OCT-09 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
Please guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Princy

Your first problem comes from the ODBC driver.
The driver see the data in the columns of your join has two different data type. Check here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141284
For the second error, your date string must follow the format in the nqsconfig.ini.
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;I assume that with ODBC you get a DATETIME by default.
Then the data (the content and not the excel format) that you must
have in your excel sheet is "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss".
You can try to change it with a DATE data type in the physical layer of OBIEE and to have a string value of this format "yyyy/mm/dd".

Data Import from Excel - Users Logged on

Hello all,
I am new the forums and am learning SAP from a user and administrator perspective so please excuse if some of my questions seem obvious. I appreciate everyone's help very help
I have the task of setting up two new company profiles in addition to our current one.
I am at the stage of importing Item Master and Business Partner data.
1) What is the preferred method? DTW vs. Import from Excel? Is one more suitable then the other for this purpose?
2) The help file for importing via excel states "If SAP Business One is running on a network, you have ensured that other users will be logged off the system during the import." Could someone please explain:
- What are the risks of running DTW or imports while users are logged in?
- If users are logged into the live version of our company but I am testing DTW/excel imports from a TEST copy of that company are there still risks or is this okay?
- If users are logged into one database but I am performing data imports on a different company database (for example I would be the only one logged into the companies currently being set up - is this okay even though users are logged into SAP server but accessing a different company?)
Thanks very much!
Richard

Hi Kiwi,
Referring to the Rules of enagement you have to post one thread per question. Please adhere to the rules from your next post.
DTW is the very much Preferred method you have simulation to see if you record are find to be imported before importing to the DB, using DTW Import from Excel will only help importing BP and Item master data. If you have to make any updates then it will be a task again. In DTW you can save the template and keep adding data and changes can be updated from the template and re-imported
Please refer to the link below to "Differences between the Import From Excel and Data Transfer Workbench templates" the screen shots for DTW are from version before 2007A SP01 PL09.
[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/B1/DifferencesbetweentheImportFromExcelandDataTransferWorkbenchtemplatesandwhathappenswhentheyare+interchanged.]
1. When users are logged on It can cause some inconsistency, ensure no user is logged on the live DB before performing any major DTW import
2. It will be ok if you are Test importing data to test DB on the same SQL server.

Data Import from Excel for Items

I have used the data import for items, in the past , to import the prices for existing item. I am using this for the first time in SAP version 9.0. There are new fields due to the additional currencies. In an running a test with two items and two price list codes, code 1 and code 10. When I run the import gets stuck in a loop and keeps giving me errors on line 1 with invalid price code.
I want to import two price lists Price List 1 and Price List 10. For example I want price list 1 to be $10.00 and price lit 10 to be $5.00
In the import from excel I have the following fields
A Item Number
B Price List Code
C Unit Price - Primary Currency
D Primary Currency
E Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
F Additional Currency 1
G Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
H Additional Currency 2
I UoM Code
J Price List Code
K Unit Price - Primary Currency
L Primary Currency
M Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
N Additional Currency 1
O Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
P Additional Currency 2
Q UoM Code
I am using the following columns
A item number
B 1
C 10.00
J 10
K 5.00
This is the way I use this function in SAP versions 2007 and 8.8
Any suggestions
Dennis

Hi Gordon,
I tried what you suggested, but does not work. I tried with two items, when I run the import SAP gets stuck in a loop displaying error lines. The only way to stop is to restrt SAP.

Import from Excel to Project - blanks cells are having dates automatically added

Hi. I'm very new to Project but have started setting up a Roadmap using it which is working fairly well so far, although have hit one snag.
I have data in Excel: it is a list of projects with 4 columns containing the dates of various stages (planning, initiate, execute, close). I have created a reusable map so this can be imported into Project and the Gantt chart to show pre-defined markers
on the timeline for each stage on each project row. All well and good so far.
However, not all of the projects in Excel have all of their dates defined. E.g. a project might not yet have a close date. But when this is imported into Project a date gets applied for it. I have no idea why!
How do i get the import into Project to allow any blank cells from Excel to remain as blank so that nothing is plotted on the Gantt chart for that particular section?

Thanks for both of your replies. I have tried this and the same issue occurs. I have checked each row in the imported Project data and they are all showing as set to 'manually selected' yet at some point in the import Project is adding data to blank cells.
I have retried using a simple test excel sheet and when this too is mapped into Project, any blank cells get populated with the date that appeared in the preceding row for some reason:
I can then go through and manually delete this cell in Project (which then replaces it with an "NA") - but if i have to manually do this whenever importing from Excel into Project then it makes it very time consuming.
Surely there must be a way for Project to not auto-populate blank cells? Or am i missing something fundamental?

Sharepoint 2013 Excel External Data Source Refresh Issue

I have been facing this issue for quite some time now.. i have created an Excel sheet in Excel-13 and have imported data from an external data source [SQL server 2012].
Everything is working fine, with the excel sheet on the desktop. Data refreshes, every-time i open the excel file and also at regular intervals that i have configured in the data source properties.
The problem begins when i save that excel sheet on my sharepoint server. the issues that i am facing are :
1. Changes made into the original data source, are not reflected immediately inside the excel sheet inside the browser. after 5-10 minutes, it reflects the changes..
2. The data doesn't refreshes automatically. After i update my data inside the sql server table, i have to manually trigger the refresh of the data connection when viewing the excel sheet inside the browser, even though i have marked "Refresh when opening
the file", and refresh every 1 minute inside the excel sheet. Any solutions ??
I have been troubled a lot by this issue, and seek for some quick solution.. Any help here ??

I found the solution finally, my self ..
Issue - 1 : It's going to take atleat 5-minutes to refresh the data connection, that is generally not a big time span.
Issue - 2 :
--> Set Your connection to refresh everytime the file is opened. go to internet explorer -> file -> internet options -> general -> Browsing History -> Settings -> Check for newer versions of stored pages... Check 'Every time I visit the
webpage'.
Now everytime i update your original data source, wait for 5-10 minutes and refresh my web page containing the excel sheet.. The Contents of the excel sheet are updated as desired..

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

Can the uses import from excel?

Apex comes with a neat feature to import from excel. As far as I can see this is meant as a developer tool, to help migrate from excel to apex. Can this feature be provided to the users inside an application? I would like for the users to be able to insert rows into a predefined table based on their excel sheets. Similar to the import feature they should be able to just cut'n paste from excel into a text area, click next and then get a neat display of the data they are about to insert (just like in the tool->data load/unload tool).

SQL Developer: import from Excel bug

SQL Developer 1.1.2.25 Build MAIN 25.79
This is a test for import from Excel.
Test table:
create table bla
(x number null,
y varchar2(1) null);
Excel data:
x y
1 a
2 b
3
SQL Deveoper generates:
Error at line 3:insert into BLA (X,Y) VALUES(3,'NULL')
IMPORT into table BLAcomplete
Inserted 2rows.
Failed to insert 1rows.
SQL Error:ORA-12899: value too large for column "BCRCEK"."BLA"."Y" (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
I think there is a bug, because there must be generated NULL without apostrophe.
insert into BLA (X,Y) VALUES(3,NULL);

Using Excel as data source

Hi,
i have created a crystal report that uses Excel as data source. Reason i used excel is for easy updating of data by non IT users. The report runs perfectly on my computer, but when i upload it to Infoview, there is error when i run the report from Infoview:
"The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
"Unable to retrieve Object.
The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
May i know what causes the error? There is no user id/password to access the excel file.
I have also tried saving the excel in the same server as the crystal report server, but i still face the same error.
Pls help!
Thanks

You would have created a connection in your local system to access the XLS data
You should be creating a similar connection in the server as well and then update the rpt file with the connection details in CMS
Thanks,

Web Form Import From Excel Error

Hi all,
I've an issue regarding the import from Excel function in HFM (9.3.1) web forms.
First of all I export in Excel a form, I input data in yellow cells and then I save the file (I don't change the file extencion that remains xls).
Finally I try to import the modified form by using Import from Excel function.
Once the system finish to load shows me a windows saying that "The data have been saved to the DB" (or something similar) but when I open the web form there are no data.
I've checked carefully the POV and it's the same and I'm using an administrative user.
What can I try to do to fix this issue?? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Giacomo

We submitted a bug report about this in May, 2009.
Bug.7381401--- DATA'S NOT GETTING UPDATED AFTER IMPORT WDEF FROM EXCEL 2007.
After updating from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3, the issue has been resolved. I would assume the bug detail is unpublished, which is unfortunate as this info would pop up in a search of the Oracle Support KB and help out others with the same issue.

Implementing Logical FACT & Logical dimension from 2 different data sources

Hi Gurus,
Here is my situation. We have 2 Different Data sources. One is SRMW and the other one is a different source. What we are trying to implement here is we wanted to create logical dimensions and logical facts as well in the BMM layer. For ex: w_day_d from SRMW and other time dimension from another source makes a logical table. And similarly a fact from SRMW and and another similar fact (Same data types though) will make a logical fact in the BMM.
I have done the POC of it, but the only problem is that i was able to fetch the data from only one data source not the other source.
Any suggestions ??
Thanks in Advance.

What I already mentioned is that you have to create multiple logical table sources and set the fragmentation content on each logical table source.
When you have two physical tables for the product dimension, for example DIM_PRODUCT_A and DIM_PRODUCT_B, you must add them to your logical table Products as two separate logical table sources and map all columns to the corresponding logical table columns on the Column Mapping tab.
Hereafter you should go to the Content tab of each logical table source and describe what content is in the logical table source.
For example for the logical table source of DIM_PRODUCT_A:
"BM"."Product"."Product Name" <= 'Product 2'
and for the logical table source of DIM_PRODUCT_B.
"BM"."Product"."Product Name" >= 'Product 3'
Then you must also check "This source should be combined with other sources at this level"
When you run a query in Answers only on the product table, two queries will be generated to get values from both tables.

Stijn

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

MR,
Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.
