LiveCycle and Excel Data

I am relatively new to LiveCycle and I have looked across the forums but haven't found solid answers to what I am trying to do therefore I was wondering if someone is able to answer my questions:
1. Can you setup a LiveCycle for so that it will read from a set of Excel data files (or converted CSV/XML files) at the time you launch the PDF with a LiveCycle form in it. We intend to create Graphs and Charts from the data and wanted it so that for these to be updated, all that needs to happen is that the data files are overwritten with a new set of data. Can LiveCycle do this, or does the data get embedded in the PDF at the time that the PDF file is published??
2. Could you put the PDF onto Microsoft Sharepoint and have the data files in a document library and then have the PDF form read the data from these files within the document library?
Thanks for any help with these questions.

Are you saying publish the PDFs using a LiveCycle server? I know you can use LiveCycle server to initiate workflows that would include what you are asking but I have no experience in this.
I use VB.net with an iTextSharp plugin to deploy all our forms. It takes the PDF and imports XML generated by our data architect from a shared drive to generate many PDFs into a production environment.

Synchronize InDesign and Excel data

Hello there! I am making a catalog with pricing and text information. Just curious if there is a way to bind your excel data to a textframe. For example, once you have placed your text frames with the text information and later you decided to change the prices but I don't want to manually update it one by one. Is there a way to tie this data to a textframe and later if I change my data on the excel file I will be able to pull the new information?
Please let us know. Thank you very much.

There are ways to do this, but it sounds to me like you really want a catalog plugin of some sort. (That you'd have to pay for, of course.) It depends on how often you need the data to update - are you willing to relink/update a csv file to update all prices all at once? If so, perhaps you don't need a commercial plug-in; look into the built-in Data Merge tool in InDesign.
But, if you're expecting to use your Excel file as-is without any pre-processing, your options are more limited. You can import named ranges of Excel files; I've seen that described on the forums but have never tried it myself.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Excel data source

I want to use a large Excel-sheet (with 139569 lines) as a data source for a report. Crystal Reports 2008 only seems to accept Excel sheets as a data source if they are stored in Excel 97-2003 format. But, then there is a limit of 65536 lines and I miss more than half of the data I need to process. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem??

Hello,
No work around in CR when connecting to xls files. CR can only use xls files which has the 65K row limit. Our next version does support xlxs files though. Cr for VS 2010 is available, no Designer outside of the IDE though. CR 2011 is still in beta and no release data announced yet.
For now all you can do is limit your sheets to 65k or export your XLS files to Access, must also be an MDB file type, not the new extended type. Once in an Access database now you can use it as your data sources.
You can use a temp database so it gets destroyed each time or simple delete all records. Up to you how to manage it.
Thank you
Don

Problem with Create PDF and linked data

Using Acrobat X standard.
I have a Word 2010 doc with links to Visio and Excel data.
When using the CreatePDF option from Word, I consistently get a prompt asking whether I want to update the linked data before creating pdf. I would like to either (1) turn this prompt off or (2) -- less preferable -- have the linked data always update without prompting.
Is thre a setting that would accomplish one of these two solutions?
Thanks,
Craig
PS. All settings in Word have been set such that data IS NOT updated when printing on a regular printer.

You can print to Adobe PDF.

Transfering Access and Excel to XML

Dear all,
Does anybody know the classes and APIs used to transfering Access and Excel to XML?
Kevin

There is no single Java API that is built to translate Access and Excel data into XML. However, you can use a simple combination of APIs to accomplish this task. A direct way of doing this is to create ODBC datasources from your Access or Excel sources, use JDBC to connect to and query those datasources. From there you can use the WebRowSet to convert your ResultSet into XML. If you require more control over the formatting of the data, you'll need write something that iterates over the ResultSet data, translating the column names and values into XML. I would recommend using JDOM to build your XML documents. WebRowSet is part of the Rowset API.
Hope this clears things for you.

Convert Word and Excel combined document

I need to convert a scanned document which has word data and excel data.Both are in separate parts of the scanned file. How do I convert each.

It sounds like Acrobat would be a better solution for you than ExportPDF. With Acrobat, you'll be able to OCR the document while it's still a PDF, then extract the content you need, section by section.
With ExportPDF, you can convert the entire document to a Word or Excel file. I would suggest converting to a Word file. You may be able to move the Excel content at that point.

Excel data read from users and upload in to Oracle DB using custom webpart

Hi Team,
I need to get the excel date from user using file upload control and read the data from the excel using custom webpart and validate the each rows whether having the values or not and need to upload the data to the oracle database.
Can you please let me know the best approach to read the data from excel using sharepoint custom webpart.
Thanks,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read excel data from the uploaded file and insert the data into Oracle Database.
The following way for your reference:
1.Create a Visual Web Part using Visual Studio.
2. Add an asp.net upload control into the .ascx file.
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" onclick="btnUpload_Click" Text="Upload" />
</div>
3. Add some logic methods into .ascx.cs file.
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//read data and insert the data into Oracle database.
4.We can create a web service for adding data to Oracle database, then consume this web service in the visual web part.

Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

How to get new and updated data into LO Excel in Xcelsius

Dear Experts,
I have created dashboard on top of webi report by using Live-Office connection. Latest data of webi report is imported into excel and mapped data with components and generated SWF file and exported into server.
To day my webi report has latest instance with new and updated data. But until unless by clicking "Refresh All Objects" i am not getting updated data into excel.
When i am trying to open dashboard in BI Launch Pad/CMC it is showing data whatever exist in excel(i.e yesterday data). But here we need to show data of latest instance of webi report.(i.e New and updated data as of now).
I have selected option "Latest instance: From latest instance scheduled by" in "refresh options".
My Question & Doubts:
1) Is it mandatory to open dashboard every day and need to click on "Refresh All Objects" to get updated data into excel or dashboard.
2) Is there any option to automate this process.
Regards,
PRK.

Hi,
Schedule the webi report to get the latest data from the source. To answer your query no is doesn't require to open the dashboard every time to refresh the excel to get the latest data.
Please use the Refresh Before Components are Loaded: Select this option to refresh the data each time the model loads and to use that data as the initial data for the model (using a Reset Button component, it will reset the data to the values from the last time the model was loaded).
You are using the Live Office so here automatic refresh is not possible without touch the swf file, you need to use the refresh but to get the latest data. If you are using QAAWS, Web Service & XML then automatic refresh is possible.
For more information please check the below document for in-depth idea on the design pattern.

How to read and write data from Excel to TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs

Hi,
How can I read in columns of data from Excel into a TestStand array and write columns of data to Excel from TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs?
I don't think the Property Loader custom step type in TestStand will work because the data I would like to read in from Excel is in a column that is thousands of rows long and the data has to be in the proper format to use the Property Loader to load in an array from Excel.
Thanks for your help.

That example does not use LabVIEW and it does about 40% of what you need to do by calling Excel through ActiveX. If you don't know how to use Excel through ActiveX then you'll need to brush up on that.

Copy and Paste Excel Data into an Adobe Lifecycle Table

I've created a form in Adobe LifeCycle that includes a table. I've set up the table so that they are fillable Text cells (5 Colunm's worth). What I need to do is Copy data from Excel and paste into the Adobe Form's table (with the same headings). After realizing that it would only paste all 5 cells of Excel data into 1 Adobe Form's cell, I tried merging all 5 Adobe Form cells. That smushed all of the Excel data and still isn't usable.
How can I create one text field object for each column in the spreadsheet when pasting from Excel into an Adobe Form Text Table?

You can't ....you have to do cell by cell copies

SSAS2008 r2 and Excel Line Chart and Date Axis

Hi
Excel 2010. SSAS 2008 R2
I have a excel line chart made out from SSAS pivot table with a date dimension (date) and No of licences.
Currently, it displays 1/Jun/2014 to 30/Jun/2015 (FY2015) and this looks really ugly.
While keeping the details, I'd like to display by Month-Year.
However, while I can do this with other normal excel data, I just can not do it with SSAS Pivot table.
Under Axis options, I ticked 'Date axis' but it won't bring up date options.
I think I tried everything but just can not figure it out. I wonder if it is even possible.
Th date dimension is recognised as date because I can apply date filter. I want to make it neat. Can anyone help me with this please?
It must be 'Date' Level.
Kind regards

Hi SQLMa,
Could you please elaborate more detail regarding the "Date" dimension structure? In order to display the date format with Month-Year, we should build a hierarchy to organize the granularity of date dimension at SSAS level. Please
refer to the documents below:

Trying to export x and y data points into excel

Hi guys,
I'm in a bit of a time crunch and I've been trying to figure a simple issue out. I've been trying to export the x and y data points into an excel file. I thought trying to use a property node would work but I've been tinkering with different subsets of the specific property nodes without any success. The current issue I'm having right now is that the current way I have the data points into the excel file is incorrect because it's not including the x axis data points. Additionally, I have thousands of data points that really slows things down. I have attached the vi. Thanks.
