Load prompt values from Excel or CSV files?

Hello all,
We have report and users want to upload filters to prompts on the reports from excel or csv files. They cannot enter one by one because they some times have hundereds of values (customer numbers) to filter. Is there a way to do that? If it is then how is it possible?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Zahid,
It is currently possible to create a relational multi-source universe with one data provider to an Excel document.
for this to work for Web Intelligence the 62 bit drivers must be installed on the Webi Server for Excel.
Here is a link to the kbase
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1828466
Also here is a link to the Information Design Tool Guide for how to create a multi-source universe:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1898185
One of the new features in BI 4.0 is creating a list of values on a Table or custom SQL.
also, here is the link to the available tutorials:

Scroll down to the information design tool.
Hope this helps!

  • How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

    hello everybody,
    I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
    Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
    So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
    Thank you in advance.
    cheers,
    shima

    Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
    Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
    Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
    Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
    DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
    Once done click 'Insert'

    Hello Sachin,
    You can use the following metalink note:How to Read Data from an EXCEL Spreadsheet into a Form Using Webutil Client_OLE2 (Doc ID 813535.1) and modify it a little bit.
    Instead of copy values into forms you can save them in your temporary table.

  • BADI implementation for importing values from excel

    Hi All,
    This is my first ever post in this forum and I am a newbie in ABAP. I have this doubt rather I would say I am stuck while implementing a BADI for importing Excel values.
    We have a BADI for 'Upload flow rate' button which is built on PLM frame work on webdynpro.
    The requirement is that after clicking the ' 'Upload flow rate'  button it should prompt for selecting the excel file and after selecting that file, the values should get loaded to the internal table.
    what I have tried till now is that
    CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'
       EXPORTING
        I_FIELD_SEPERATOR    =
         I_LINE_HEADER        = 'X'
         I_TAB_RAW_DATA       = IT_RAW       " WORK TABLE
         I_FILENAME           = 'C:\abcdl\book1.xlsx'
       TABLES
         I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = lt_result
       EXCEPTIONS
         CONVERSION_FAILED    = 1
         OTHERS               = 2.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
       MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
               WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    endmethod.   
    I tried hard coding the xls file but it gives error as 'CNTL_error' which I guess is a known issue when we use this function module in webdynpro.
    So how can I get the values from excel without using datasource and just by hard coding the file name?
    Regards,
    Anand

    There is no solution to this - SAP have said they will re-introduce this functionality, but they havent said when (as far as I am aware).
    However, we have developed a workaround (for Web reports anyway), let me know if you are interested.

  • SQlldr Error while uploading "excel" or "csv" file.

    Hello to community,
    We are using Oracle AS(application Server) 10g as a "web Server" & "database Server"
    The Database Server is having an NFS Partition,which has mounted onto "Web Server"
    So, if any client tried to upload any excel OR csv file , the Web Server will redirect that file data onto "database" server" through NFS partition.
    By clicking "upload" button from client end, they are getting a strange error. By checking "ias_console" log file, I have found below latest logs,which belongs to the error. Kindly let me know where is the problem coming from.
    The Database Server Shared NFS partition name is "web_upload" & we have same "web_upload" partition on the "web server". The command of mounting NFS partition is given below.
    On AIX web Server :- mount <ip address>:/file_data/web_upload/ /web_upload/
    SYNTAX :- <ip add of db server>/mount point "web server mount point"
    The error is as given below.

  • BULK INSERT from a text (.csv) file - read only specific columns.

    I am using Microsoft SQL 2005, I need to do a BULK INSERT from a .csv I just downloaded from paypal.  I can't edit some of the columns that are given in the report.  I am trying to load specific columns from the file.
    bulk insert Orders
    FROM 'C:\Users\*******\Desktop\DownloadURL123.csv'
       WITH
                  FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
                    FIRSTROW = 2,
                    ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
    So where would I state what column names (from row #1 on the .csv file) would be used into what specific column in the table.
    I saw this on one of the sites which seemed to guide me towards the answer, but I failed.. here you go, it might help you:
    FORMATFILE [ = 'format_file_path' ]
    Specifies the full path of a format file. A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in cases in which:
    The data file contains greater or fewer columns than the table or view.
    The columns are in a different order.
    The column delimiters vary.
    There are other changes in the data format. Format files are usually created by using the bcp utility and modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.

    Date, Time, Time Zone, Name, Type, Status, Currency, Gross, Fee, Net, From Email Address, To Email Address, Transaction ID, Item Title, Item ID, Buyer ID, Item URL, Closing Date, Reference Txn ID, Receipt ID,

    Do you need more than 2 rows? I did not include all the columns from the actual csv file but most of it, I am planning on taking to the first table these specfic columns: date, to email address, transaction ID, item title, item ID, buyer ID, item URL.
    The other table, I don't have any values from here because I did not list them, but if you do this for me I could probably figure the other table out.
    Thank you very much.

  • Help me in creating a Device Collection - i have a list of machine name (in a excel or CSV file)

    Hello Guys,
    I have created a Device collection for UK region (2000+ machines)
    Now i have been given a list of 1000 machines to which i need to deploy an application.
    I have to create a device collection for this 1000+ machines. as an input i have a excel or CSV file with a list of machine names.
    Please suggest me how can i create a device collection with CSV file as input. Is my CSV file should be in particular format.
    Or is there any other way i can create a collection for this 1000 specific machines.
    Please suggest.

    My previous post was for sccm 2012.
    here its for 2007
    In the Operating System Deployment section of SCCM right click on Computer Association and choose
    Import Computer Information
    when the wizard appears select Import Computers using a file
    The file itself must contain the information we need in this (CSV) format
    COMPUTERNAME,GUID,MACADDRESS
    (sample below)

    the file can be a standard TEXT file that you create in notepad, and you can rename it to CSV for easier importing into our wizard...
    so, click on Browse and browse to where you've got your CSV file
    on the Choose Mapping screen, you can select columns and define what to do with that mapping, eg: you could tell it to ignore the GUID value (we won't however)
    on the next screen you'll see a Data Preview, and this is useful as it will highlight any errors it finds with a red exclamation mark, in the example below a typo meant that it correctly flagged the MAC address as invalid
    so edit your CSV file again and fix the error, click previous (back) and try again
    Next choose the target collection where you want these computers to end up in
    review the summary
    in SCCM collections, we can now see the computers we've just imported from File,
    Enjoy

  • How do I create a series of text frames using values from Excel list?

    First of all, this is the very first script I'm attempting to write from scratch. I'm completely green at scripting, and I've picked up a few snippets from Adobe's ID scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck yet relating to this particular objective.
    My supervisor keeps a master list of ad spaces, with the name of the account, how wide the space is, and how tall the space is, all in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I am stuck manually drawing one rectangle for every space, which takes a very long time.
    I'd like to create/have help creating a script that will take these values and "automagically" draw these spaces in the form of text frames, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the master list, as well as the name of each account appearing in the subsequent text frames.
    The script doesn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values straight from the Excel sheet; I can transfer the values to a support text file if needed, or directly into the script, changing it as I need it. A big thing (if it is not able to pull right from an Excel sheet) is that the number of spaces changes weekly, and so do the accounts, and the width and the height. Accordingly, it would be ideal if the values from the sheet could be changed easily, so as to create a new set of spaces as needed.
    Positioning for each space is not crucial, only height and width. If they all appear on top of each other on the same page, that will be a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.
    To me, this sounds like a tall order, but hopefully some experienced scripters out there can assist me, as I wish to become experienced as well.
    So, the TL;DR version:
    - Script needs to draw a series of text frames.
    - Text frames dimensions need to be defined by width and height values from Excel sheet.
    - Text frames must have account name as contents (from account names in Excel sheet).
    - Accounts, width and height change every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all of the values.
    - The width values are on the Excel sheet as columns. It would be ideal if the script could convert those numbers into multiples of columns as needed.
    - (Optional) Script can pull values directly from Excel sheet.
    - (Optional) Script can define text frame fill color as gray. (If it works as I think it will, I could just select all the resulting text frames myself and set them all to gray at once... I'm not that lazy )
    Thanks in advance to whomever can assist in any possible way, even if it is just a push in the right direction. This script will save 1-2 hours of tedium every week.

    Sound like the perfect thing for InDesign Scripting.
    I would copy the Excel contents into a text file, to get a format that is easily read from InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each "cell" just using copy/paste.
    Here is a piece of code, that you perhaps could go on with (adding variable to change pages and location on page, and other stuff).
    The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily re-used with any function using "callback". You simply supply the function to it, that you want to be executed for every line of text that is read:
    const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
    var pageIndex;
    var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
    // Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
    // the current document instead of creating a new one.
    var myDoc = app.documents.add();
    // The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
    readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
    function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
        // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
        // excel file into a text document.
        var cells = row.split('\t');
        var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
        var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
        var height = cells[2];
        // Create a new text frame for every row handled
        if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
        var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
        newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
        // The text frame is created in the top left corner.

  • Error while loading the data from excel to database.

    Hi,
    I am using PL/SQL developer to load the data from excel to database. I will set the data source in the control panel and will proceed through ODBC importer in pl/sql developer to import the data.
    What exactly the error is when i click the filename to view the result preview it shows an error as:
    The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
    Kindly help with solution.
    Thanks/Regards
    Sakthivarman J.

    Hello;
    That error message comes from Microsoft, so something in you Excel sheet is the cause.
    Its a pain but I would check properties of each column in case Excel decided to add something, a comma for example.
    Do you have a column over 255 characters? Look there first. If any length is greater than 255 it will crash and burn.
    Or convert it to a CSV and create an external table.
    Best Regards

    Might also throw an 3163 as an error where you cannot see it.

  • How to upload the data from excel(3 tabs) file to sap environment

    Hi all,
    This is Mahesh.
    how to upload the data from excel(3 tabs) file to sap environment (internal tables) while doing bdc.

    Hi,
    The FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' makes it possible to load a worksheet into an internal table in ABAP.
    However, if you want to get the data from several worksheets, I think you are stuck with OLE access to your Excel Workbook...
    You can find a solution for 2 worksheets in this post :
    TO UPLOAD DATA FROM 2 EXCEL SHEETS INTO TWO INTERNAL TABLES
    I think you can easily modify it to handle any number of worksheets.
    Hope it helps !
    Best regards,

  • Ssrs 2008 export to excel and csv file

    In a ssrs 2008 report, the user will export data to PDF, excel, and CSV files. When the report is exported to excel or csv file, the user wants me to hide some tablixes. Thus can you show me code on how to export the reports to csv or excel file without
    and be able to hide a few tablixes?

    Hi jazz_dog,
    According to your description, you want to set the visibility for some tablixes based on the exporting file type. Right?
    In Reporting Services 2008, we don't have any parameter to get type of exporting file. So we can only create a parameter and select a type before exporting to a file. Then use conditional expression to control the visibility. It's definitely not a good workaround,
    so your goal can't be achieved in Reporting Services 2008. However, for Reporting Service 2008R2 or later version, we have a build-in parameter called Render Format Name, this parameter will display the type of exporting file automatically. So we can make
    the judgment in expression based on the value of this parameter.
    Reference:
    Built-in Globals and Users References (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou

  • Importing data From Excel (or CSV) to Oracle.

    Is there a fuction to import data into Oracle from Excel or CSV? I know I can use SQL loader but I need to upload into an already existing table. Also, some of the fields might already be populated. Meaning, if Social Security number is already in this table, I simple want to update the information for that particular entry in the table.
    Any suggestions?

    no, I'm suggesting creating an external table instead of using sqlloader. from there, you might be able to do a MERGE straight to your final table. but that really depends on your requirements. if you need to do a lot of complex manipulations prior to going to the final table, you may find it easier to use a temp table in the middle.

  • Insert Data into Table from TXT or CSV file !!!!!

    Dear All,
    Recently I have started working on APEX. In Oracle Forms, we used to use TEXT_IO for inserting records into tables from txt files. Now I want to do the same thing in apex 3.2. How can I insert data into tables from txt of csv files.
    Waiting of your valuable suggestions.
    With kind regards,
    Yousuf.

    Yousuf
    wwv_flow_files is used by APEX to hold uploaded files.
    If you incorporate a file browse item on you page, browse for the selected file, then submit the page (having the PL/SQL process described as an on suibmit process) then what I detailed should work.
    If you don't need users to have access to this then just go to Home>Utilities>Data Load/Unload in APEX and there is a handy load utility there that does it all for you.
    Cheers
