Loading hierarchies in BW from excel

Hi all ,
how to load hierarchies from excel into the BW .
do the excels need to be in .csv format or can they be loaded from .xls format.
do i need to have a specific format of the columns in excel as a pre-requisite for loading .
please also let me know all pre-requisites for format of excel.

Hi Neeraj,
the file needs to be in a special format and depends on the hierarchy of your infoobject, whether it is time-dependent or not. You can see the necessary file structure if you goto infosource, choose your hierarchy datasource. then you will find a button hierarchy structure. If you press it you will see a table with the expected columns. The file should be an csv file. You select it in the infopackage to your infosource. You can upload it directly from your desktop but only if you start the package immediately. The file must not be in use by anyone other, otherwise load fails. be careful if you number your nodes. the number must be unique
ue in the file. the node numbers are the keys for your infoobject or of infoobject 0HIERNODE for text nodes.
I'm looking for a sample file if you want.
Kind regards,
Juergen

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!
SAM

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

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.

Load Hierarchies to 0gL_Account

Hello,
I try to load Hierarchies to 0GL_Account from R3 system.
i use at tran SBIW at source system (r3) -
> generate data source for set hierarchies -
>at the field name
i choose RACCT .
which table to choose to create to data source ?
the data source is 4R_SAKNR_0000_HIER
thanks in advance,
yuval

Dear,
If i understood correctly yours questions, you would like to know the details for GL account hierarchy.
There are two hierarchy available at ECC side ( GL account and FS Item level). Both used for analyzing the financial data. You can have multiple hierarchy in ECC system to see and analyze the data and same way you can have multiple hierarchy can load in SAP BI at info object level and later restrict the report at query designer level or run time.
No need to create any custom data source for uploading the GL hierarchy. Pls check with SAP FI consultant to know the correct hierarchy to upload.
Activate both of data source and use the InfoPackage at info object level to upload the hierarchy. In info package (SAP BI) you can see the option ( Available hierarchy at OLTP), at a time you can select one hierarchy to upload. later you can go by restricted KPI with filtering with proper node to get the desired report output using BE-x.
Hope you get the answer. Best of luck.

Load hierarchies from ODS

Hi, all.
Please advise, how I can load hierarchies from ODS, if
ODS stores data about structure of hierarchies. If any solutions exists excluding, extract data to flat file and load it again to hierarchies.
Max.

Hi,
Hierarchies data one type of data master data.
BW data base was desifned master data stored out side the cube. When ever other data target (cube) can use those master data .I.E you can load data on info object level. Becose this is master data.
You can load data from flat files .
The structure is like this.
when ever u r creating hierarchies three table is going to create /BIC/HZGLACOUNT,/BIC/KZGLACOUNT,/BIC/IZGLACOUNT
While loadong falt file you need to take this table /BIC/HZGLACOUNT structure. According that structure you need to create excel sheet and loading is like flat file.

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

Error while loading data from EXCEL to OWB

Hi Marcos,
Thank you. I got way.
I did in the following steps...
1. I created system dsn odbc_excel.
2. I created initSID.ora
3. I updated in the listener.ora.
4. I created a soure module in odbc in owb.
5. I created destination module in oracle where I want to load the data from excel.
6. I am able to get the metadata of excel.
7. I created a mapping.
8. Validation and Generation phases completed successfully.
9. At the time of deployment I got the following error.
ORA-06550: line 16, column 22:
PL/SQL: ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object odbc_excel.EmployeeRange@EXCEL_SID.US.ORACLE.COM@CONNECTOR_EXCEL_OWB_SRC_DEST
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
here
--excel_sid is the service name given in listener.ora.
--connector_excel_owb_src_dest is the connector from soruce to destination.
--Employee range is sheet name of excel.
I am fighting with this problem from past few days...
Thanks and regards

Maybe you can consider save excel as .csv files and then you can load them as flatfiles to external table in OWB.

Thats my connection string
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=E:\SrcData\Feeds\Utilization.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=NO";
Excel 2010 installed and its 32 bit edition
Are you referring to install this component -AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe?

Mudassar
You can try an OLEDB provider in that case
see
http://dataintegrity.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/xlsx/
you might need to download and install ms access redistributable

Difference b/w Loading a Flat File made from EXCEL and NOTEPAD

Hi
Is there any difference in Loading a flat file made from MS-Excel and Note Pad. Imean performance or errors etc....
GSR

S R G,
Theres no much difference only that when loading from excel we store excel in CSV format. In notepad we use seperators like comma aand write one row at a time, then next....
Rest everything is same...
thats y it is preferable to load from excel as it is easier to represent and create...

I also have a question regarding dimensions. I have a model in PAS which has data from different data sources (BW and excel). In excel I have dimensions which are not loaded from BW (they don't exist there). How to create such dimenison?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Petra

Petra,
The Forum isn't really designed as a training system but rather where people can share questions or get a separate pair of eyes to look afresh at issues that aren't working for some reason. This is particularly the case for something which is as important as creating dimensions.
The idea of the SSM Cube Builder/Model Designer was to enable people to build models with their relevant dimensions and metrics for demos and simple initial systems using manual data entry. If you are getting into building dimensions that will be outside BW then you are moving into the implementation arena rather than demo creation and need to work carefully so that things tie up.
I doubt people would expect to be able to set up/implement BW without training and SSM is the same.
If you would like training or would like to collaborate on a first project to enable skills transfer then my colleague Pedro and I would be happy to discuss this. We have done this with other people and it has worked well.

Colin
