Loading 400 excel files without manually opening them???

Hi,

Good morning

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

BO Live Office - Excel files no longer opening

Hi all,
I've been running into a problem and only encountered it when installing BO Live Office. On my old computer, I used to be able to click on an Excel file that was on my desktop, for example, and then Excel would automatically open up and open the file. Then when I downloaded Live Office, I was no longer able to do this. Now everytime I click on an Excel file (no matter where it is located), I keep getting an error. Excel opens, but it tells me "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
At first I thought it was just my computer messing up and or something else was going wrong, but now I'm not so sure. I just recently got a new computer and I tried out opening an Excel file (from my desktop, for example) and it worked. Then I went and installed Live Office with the latest FixPack, etc. Once I installed it, it would no longer let me open an Excel File by clicking on the file. I keep getting the same error - "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
On my old computer, I had Office 2003 w/Windows XP and now I have Office 2007 w/Windows 7. It doesn't seem to matter if I have the latest software or upgrades/fixpacks. This error still occurs. I've tried turning off/disabling the Live Office Plug-in, but this has not worked either. Has anyone run into this problem before? I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Charlette

Hi,
I also had the same issue (from couple of months) after we upgraded and it was very very frustating until I saw this post.
Thanks a lot Tracy.
I added "%1" at the end in the field labeled u2018Application used to perform action:u2019
"......\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" "%1" /e
The excel files are now opening. But there is also a message along with it. It says as below.
>>>
Windows cannot find '<excel file name goes here>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To searcg for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
>>>
It's odd that the file is opening fine even though the above message shows up. This happens to every .XLS and .XLSX file. Atleast the file is opening now, which is great!
I am not sure how to fix the warning message.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks again.

How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
for that use code some thing like this.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
I think this will do the trick.

Go to File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings -> Attachment Handling -> Make sure "Turn off attachment Preview" is not selected -> Click "Attachment and Document Previewers" button -> Make sure "Microsoft
Excel previewer" is selected -> OK -> OK -> OK.

Stuck - load the Excel file dynamically with different columns and worksheet names

I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. Any idea how I could
approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.

Hi Chimumu,
The SSIS stock adapters don't supporting dynamic column mapping, to achieve your goal, you need to use Script Task/Component to read the Excel sheet name and the columns in the worksheet, and then map to the output columns of the script component. You can
also refer to the following blogs:

SQLLDR to load data in Excel file without converting to CSV file

Hello Guys,
We are getting data in excel sheet and we need to insert data into oracle table. Is it possible to do with SQLLDR command that too without converting the excel file to csv format.
If its possible can any one share a pseudo code to do that.
Your help is well appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to do with SQLLDR command that too without converting the excel file to csv format
SQL*Loader does not know how to process the microsoft proprietary binary format of Excel files. If you really want to use SQL*Loader then the data will have to be exported from Excel to a format that SQL*Loader can use, such as CSV... otherwise, don't use SQL*Loader (see the FAQ I posted already)

Important Microsoft Office 2011 Excel File isn't opening Please Help!

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems opening one single excel file. I've tried others and they open with no issue. This file I'm trying to open now opened 2 days ago as it's a project I've been working on and I desperately need to get back to working on it!
I'm running OS X 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro with Microsoft Office 2011. When I open the workbook it loads the progress bar, then doesn't show anything from excel apart from the top bar with file/edit/view... etc
When I try and open it from this point it gives me a message
'XXX.xlsx is already open.
Reopening will cause any changes you made to be discarded. Do you want to reopen XXX.xlsx
PLEASE HELP and don't hesistate to ask for anymore information if you need it. Thank you.

Such instances are examples of why one should maintain good backups. I suggest you consider using Time Macnine backups. It would allow you to go back in time to earlier versions of the file if a later one is corrupted or if you save unwanted changes by mistake.
You would need a $80 external disk drive for the Time Machine volume. Your data is much more valuable than that $80 cost. Disks can fail at any time, taking all of your data with them.

For Each Loop Load Dynamic Excel Files

Hi All,
SSIS 2005
I want to load excel file .xls one at a time files that have different names without having to select the file in the connection manager, every time. So a user can easily place the excel file in the folder and right the sql job and it loads the file data.
The data flow tasks all work when I manually select the excel file, but I am unable to get this to work dynamically.
I have setup a for each loop with multiples data flow tasks and sql tasks to load my data from file.
Variables:
@filename d:\new file\*.xls
For Each Loop:
ForEachFile Enumerator
Folder: d:\new file\
Files: *.xls
Retrieve File Name: Fully Qualified
Variable Mappings:
User::filename (index 0)
Connection Managers:
Excel Connection Manager: Expressions, ConnectionString @[User::filename]
Error Message: Error at new buyer(package name) the connection string format is not valid. it must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, seperated by semicolons.
Can anyone assist thanks.

You still need the file name variable.
ExcelFilePath is the fully qualified file name of your Excel file. ie. it contains both the path and file name.
e.g. D:\inbox\myExcelFile.xls
All the steps you mentioned are correct, except you need to set the property of ExcelFilePath of the Excel connection to the variable that you map to in the ForEach Loop:
Connection Managers:
Excel Connection Manager: Expressions, ExcelFilePath @[User::filename]
Hope this helps.

Infopackage Loading error - The file is not open

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in my process chain. When the loading starts from deleting the psa contents then the infopackages - this is where the error starts. Infopackage source is 'Load Text-Type File from Application Server'. The error only says:
- Errors in source system
- The file 'path and filename.csv' is not open
There are 10 infopackages to load and they're getting the files from AL11. I had successful run of the process chain before, but now it's always an error. Manual loading of the infopackages is fine, but once they ran in the process chain - always an error. Anyone encountered this type of issue? Can't seem to figure out what the cause is.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have sometimes an error when I'm loading from frontend
=> the file is open in notepad or ms excel.
Have you the same on the application server?
=> Ask your admin to check this.
Or, have you now an other filename? UNIX server?
=> check upper and lower case.
Do you see the file in AL11. Can you open it there?

NuVo N200 and browsing files, without actually playing them

I'm not sure if there was any answer to that question in any previous thread, I did a search on N200 and there's so many results, checked a few of them but couldnt find anything.
The most frustrating thing for me at the moment with my N200, which I think overall is a very good player, is that there's no way to browse directories and files without playing them. That's a BIG handicap. I got a directory with about 00 MP3s, misc songs, and it takes forever to skip to a specific song because the player actually tries to load the tune play it every time you go to the next. What would be great and almost necessary is a browse feature that allows you to skip over directories and files, while the player is still playing the current tune, and then will play the new song when selected.
Also, a STOP menu feature, which would be one of the first icons when loading up the menu, would also be very important. Sometimes you don't want to shutdown the player, just stop it for a few seconds.
Is there anyone else with the same wishes? Any possbility of a firmware upgrade someday?

Oh... on my MuVo nx I can do what you propose! The trick is to PAUSE the current track. Unfortunately, it's not possible to browse WHILE a current track is playing without interrupting it. I agree.. a firmware upgrade ought to be entirely possible! I too would like the ability to "look around" at the song collection while a tune is still being played in the background. I never really explored the functionality of any of the other flash-based portable mp3 devices before I settled on this one. I mearly jumped on getting this 256meg version when a supplier informed me that Creative had a 2 or 3-week promotional price on it. At Under $20 cdn about 2 months ago it was hard to pass up!
I wonder if the Muvo C00 would have been a better choice (but I don't like its "round" design). The C00 seems to have a larger display (which I like).
I guess we would have to download the User Manuals of all the devices we're interested in inorder to learn if a certain feature or function is available?
