JSP results on excel (.xls) file

Hi all,
I want to have a link on a jsp file which would display the contents of the .jsp on an (.xls) file
I know some webpages allow this like yahoo finance does.
Can anyone please help me with this and let me know how to approach it .
Thanks in advance,
Peter

....it's all about the content-type...
I'm going to bet that you haven't written an xls generator in Java... so we'll go with the next best option.... by default excel is associated with csv, so you can look at whatever mime type is assigned to csv and hopefully Excel will be used to open it.. a quick search reveals: "application/vnd.ms-excel" as the mimetype.

Export to Excel – XLS file formatting

Hi,
I have created process that exports report to XLS file. I write XLS file using XML tags, supported by Excel, which allow me to format each cell (especially look and data type). Unfortunately I can’t force Excel to see cell as date-cell.
I’m getting from database date in YYYY-MM-DD format and I want the same in Excel. I can export it as string value, but I want Excel to see it as date – not string.
This code works fine:
<ss:Cell><ss:Data ss:Type="String">'||x.begin_date||'</ss:Data></ss:Cell>
but Excel see the cell as a string.
I want something like that:
<ss:Cell><ss:Data ss:Type="Date">'||x.prnm_short_name||'</ss:Data></ss:Cell>
but this one doesn’t work, as well as “DateTime” type.
Do you know how to solve this problem?
Regards,
Przemek

Here is a sample of how you can create a procedure from an EXCEL file.
1. create, format and save Excel file as an XML file
2. edit file to add" htp.p(' " tags to begining of each line and "')';" tags to the end of the lines
3. add standard header tags at start of file (see code below)
4. add standard end tags at end of file (see code below)
5. grant excute privileges as required
6. test procedure: from browser (http://.../apex/owner.excel_rpt in this case; you do not need to use apex to do this
- you might want to secure the procedure once you got it running by limiting it to run only from your app
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE excel_rpt (fname VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'excel_rpt.xls')
IS
-- query to get data; can be used in CURSOR LOOOP to fill in report
CURSOR rpt_cur IS
SELECT PROGNAME, user_name, priv, dept
FROM test_data;
BEGIN
-- standard header to open file in EXCEL application -- REQUIRED
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(NULL,'application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || fname || '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- to get this, save your Excel file as XML, open in editor (I used Notepad++),
-- prepend "htp.p(' to all the line", postpend "');" to all lines
htp.p('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>');

Opening Excel XLS files in Numbers

I have Mac OS 10.6.2 on my MacBook using Numbers '09.
A windows excel pc user sent a xls file.
When I try to open this file on my MacBook with Numbers is get message
"The document is encrypted and can’t be opened."
The windows user says the file is not locked/protected/encrypted ...
I have opened other xls files ok.

I never got this behaviour (but my correspondants know that I hate …Soft products).
Maybe it's that the file was built by a recent version of XL which is not deciphered by Numbers.

Some Excel (.xls) files won't open

Hi,
I have Microsoft 2004 for Mac.
I found much to my dismay that two important Excel files on my computer won't open. When I double click on them, the normal loading window shows very briefly (the window says: Opening XXX.xls; Press Command + to Cancel), and then nothing happens - the file is not open. Double clicking it again produces the same results. I tried to open the files from the File-Open menu. It did not work.
All the other Excel files on my computer open normally (well I did not check every one of them; but for those which I did check anyway). The two problematic files are in the same folder.
The latest updates for Microsoft 2004 have been installed.
There is no special setting for the two files in question (like permission settings).
I tried to move the files to a different location of my computer and opened them from there - did not work.
There is nothing wrong with the file naming.
And when I sent the problematic files to my own gmail and tried to open the files from gmail (click view on the attachment file), I was able to open the files successfully from there.
Any ideas as to what is happening, and how to fix the problem?
Thank you very much!

Ok, I figured it out. Contrary to what I stated in the post, the software is not up to date. So I proceeded to update the software and the problem went away. The problematic files now can be opened.

Put excel (.xls) files onto dashboard

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which the user needs to see excel sheets on the dashboard. Is there any way to implement this?? If yes, please let me know
Thanks in Advance

You cannot use absolute path like 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\SHQuota.xls' inside an embeded content.If you want to open excel file inside embeded content then you have to put it on some web server and accesss it through proprt url like 'http:\\.........' .
One way is to put your excel sheet in OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics and then use the URL inside Embeded content
http://localhost:9704/analytics/SHQuota.xls. It will prompt you to open or save the file.It wont open the excel file in the same window.
If you want to open in the same window then embed your excel sheet into one html page and place that html page at
OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics path and access the html page by the url inside embeded content.
Thanks

How do I import the data from Excel (.xls) file into Oracle Database table

I have an excel file with 5 columns of 5000 rows.
I have to import 5000 rows of data into my oracle table with
same column names & Data types.
What is the best advise for this ?
Thanks.
Srini

You can connect to Oracle from Excel directly. I know you can read data but am not sure if you can export data.
Other option is to import the data into Access.
Create an ODBC connection for Oracle
Use the to connect to Oracle from Access
Export data to Oracle from Access

How can I get images in an Excel (.xls) file into Photoshop CC?

I received an Excel file with images that need editing in Photoshop. This is the only file type in which I have these images (no .jpg, or .png). How can I Import them into PS CC?

Open the Excel file
Save it as a web page (*.htm ,*.html) (save as type: in save as... under file) in a folder say "My Documents",
Go to My Documents and there will be a folder with the same name of the file. In that folder, you'll find all the images that are in the Excel file.

DW8 Form to create and attach a CSV or XLS file instead of just an e-mail?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a Dreamweaver 8 form that submits an
e-mail that contains/attaches a comma deliminated file (CSV) or an
Excel XLS file containing the contents of what the user filled out
in the form?
I can't seem to find anything about this anywhere. I have
seen it done before (not sure if the form was created with DW or
not). We want a file attached to an e-mail so we can import the
results of a form into an Access database instead of having the
user enter in what was returned in the content of the e-mail (don't
want user input errors, extra work, etc...).
How would I do this?
Thanks,
-paulw

>Thanks, but the application is not a web application.
Then you will need to provide more information about your
client and server environment and more of the requirement details.
Until we know what you have to work with, we can't offer any
suggestions.

Using XML for Live Data- How do you get the XML file to pull data from another xls file?

Post Author: joseph_atkinson
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I was wondering you can help me.
I am currently receiving an *.xls reports on a daily basis (same report, same format, different data). I have put this report into Crystal Xcelcius Designer 4.5 Professional version and created the dashboard I want.
I am aware of the xml mapping functionality where I can map from the *.swf straight to a database. However, is it possible to map to an xls file that will change on a daily basis? (obviously I can you the refresh button in Designer, but I need to automate this process).
Your help really would be appreciated.

.xls file format - downloaded from Gmail, can't open in numbers

I tried to open it using a 3rd party "conversion" program called icExcel.app which i found on the web. I saved the file as Appleworks 6 which is the file format the program offered which Numbers would open -- but it didn't work. Any experience? I don't know what version of .xls in office the file was saved in.

Hi Ian Mcgrady,
Welcome to Numbers Discussions.
Is this file you're attempting to open a true MS Excel .XLS file? Or is it a Google web app? What message are you getting, what happens, are you attempting to open it over the web or off your desktop? The more information you can provide us the better someone will be able to assist you. I've been able to open XLS files without difficulty.
Also, please be aware these discussion groups are users as yourself helping users.
Again welcome to Numbers discussions.
Sincerely,

Read perticular collumn of xls file

hi

help reuired please
thanks
Solved!

Hi kabariya,
first you should rename that file to "*.csv", it's not a real Excel XLS file...
Then you should use ReadFromSpreadsheetFile to load the file and IndexArray to index the 3rd column. When you know the time of the data creation you could use a waveform to plot your data, otherwise simply plot the column data over an arbitrary X axis...
Edit:
You have asked this in a different thread before. WHY DO YOU CREATE DOUBLE POSTS FOR THE SAME TOPIC?

I believe someone has written some code to do this for Java. I remember reading it a couple months ago. You should do a search through the Forums here to see if you can find where to get this code.

How to dump a query on a XLS file?

I´m working in a stored procedure on that i can send a dinamic query and it return me the result into a xls file.
I´ve found the way to generate that xls file from Pl/sql, but now I need be able to assing each field of each row into his corresponding cell. For this I need to put each field of each row in a variable and then work on it.
For generate xls file, I´ve created a datatype by following the indications of Jasson Bennet´s blog.
http://radio-weblogs.com/0137094/2006/10/26.html
In the example, values are assigned directly to the cells. But it not is valid for me because I dont know what will be these...
I think that if you want see the blog, you´ll can understand better what I´m refering...
Thanks for your time...

Strange requirement, you don't know the query, the columns and the number of rows you get, but you know that you want the value of the second column of the second row :)
But try this
declare
t_c integer;
t_r integer;
t_v varchar2(100);
begin
t_c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse( t_c, q''select 'Roy' name, 'sales' deptno, 25 age from dual
union all select 'Sara', 'HHRR', 30 from dual
union all select 'Mike', 'finances', 35 from dual'', dbms_sql.native );
dbms_sql.define_column( t_c, 2, t_v, 100 );
t_r := dbms_sql.execute( t_c );
t_r := dbms_sql.fetch_rows( t_c );
t_r := dbms_sql.fetch_rows( t_c );
dbms_sql.column_value( t_c, 2, t_v );
dbms_sql.close_cursor( t_c );
dbms_output.put_line( t_v );
end;
