Macros in EXCEL output from XMLP

Hi all,
I am using XMLP 5.5.
I would like to know if in the 'Excel' output we obtain using XML Publisher, can we have macros. If yes then how can one achieve it? A sample would help us in exploring further.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the quick reply.
The so called 'Excel templates' have been demonstrated to clients in this year's Oracle Open House (San Fransisco) i guess, and it is from there, that the need to develop such complex reports have come. It seems there was a demo that was given out to all the participants on this new technology. It would be great if you can share the demo with me or send me same/its link to my mail id ([email protected]). It would be extremely helpful in mapping the requirements with the upcoming tools from Oracle.
Expecting the demo on this Excel templates from you. Awaiting the release of the new version soon.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
Change the Desforamt as Delimited and give the File name as file.xls and run the report
you will get the Excel Output but the total will be pronted On RHS for every row.Hope this would help you to print the report in Excel File.
Thanks,
Vikki

Not able to view the excel output from eBS

Hi All,
I am not able to open the reports for the first time and this error is keep on coming everyday whenever i try to open any report for the first time.
     Microsoft office Excel cannot access the file 'http:// '. There are several possible reasons:
     The file name or path does not exist.
     The file is being used by another program.
     The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook
But in the second time o/p opens without any issues.
Can you please let me know what will be the cause of the issue.
Thanks

Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)

Hi All,
Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
XML tool works based on query.
I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
Now we are looking at a different perspective:
Basically our client is looking for the following:
1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
2. Use of macros if possible.
And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
Thx,

Excel output using XML Publisher 5.5

Hi,
We are trying to obtain output of a simple customer summary report in 'EXCEL" format. For this purpose we have registered a 'RTF' template using which we get output in PDF/RTF formats. We are trying the 'EXCEL' format for the first time. Each time we run the concurrent request for XMLP, and then click 'View Output' we get a pop saying the following message
"ORA-1403: no data found". The same report works perfectly fine when i run it using the template builder/viewer tool i have on my desktop. Can some throw light on this issue that we are facing.
Please note that this is extremely important for us, as we plan to design a 'Gross Margin' report using XMLP in 'EXCEL' format and for this, this needs to work. Any inputs will be helpful.
It would be great if someone in thr group can share a sample RTF template that generates output in 'Excel ' format.
Tx,
Nitin Jain

Hello Tim,
First time posting a message in this forum. We have a report that we export to Excel for users to analyse it futher. Report consists of all percentages with % sign at the end of each value in the cells. Negetive numbers are highlighted in red enclosed in brackets with % sign at the end. All numbers are rounded to one decimal in the source query, so the XML data has values rounded to one decimal. When we export the report to Excel, all positive numbers are rounding to 2 decimal points and negetive numbers to one decimal point. When exported to PDF, all values are rounded to one decimal. Is there a way to fix this in Excel output?
Thanks in advance.

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Special character (Space) coming in excel output

Hi,
I am using rtf to develop a XML report. The output type is excel so I am using force Ltr property to allign few fields. But I am getting special character when I copy and paste a value of the O/P in the notepad. When I don use Force LTR the problem is not there but the allignment goes for a toss. So is there any way by whcih the issue can be resolved keeping the force LTR.?

This seems to be a BUG, please share if there is any workaround for the above issue.
I have tried below approach in order to retain leading zeros.
