Misalignement in Excel sheet,while downloading reports with huge data

Hi,
While downloading reports in excel with huge volume of data ,we are getting misalignments in the excel sheet(some data comes in wrong rows). Can you please suggest what could be the reason and how to correct it.

Roopak

Hi,
If you are using Office 2003, then you cannot download morethan 65000+. However if you use Office 2007, I think it gives you somewhere around 400000 records. (I didnt scroll below that!!!). Also the columns are morethan IV.
However assuming that, even that version can have limitation, you can always download your data in a wordpad/notepad/textpad etc which are basically text editing tools. They dont have any such row or column restrictions.
Once downloaded, you can randomly split them into some x number of files, based on the number of records and then open the same documents using xls sheet using tab value as delimiter. Now the alignment will be perfect in the excel sheet.

  • Error while downloading report into CSV or EXCEL

    Hi All,
    I am facing a strange problem while downloading data in excel or CSV format. I have created a report that is nothing but output of direct database request. The report is running fine and able to download data but since yesterday it is throwing error: -
    [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 1455, message: ORA-01455: converting column overflows integer datatype at OCI call OCIStmtFetch.
    [nQSError: 17012] Bulk fetch failed.
    Sometimes it starts download and after fetching some data it throws this error. The report is bulky and generally it brings around 40 k rows.
    Can anybody faces this error or have any idea about this. Please give some suggestion as I have searched it but not reached to any conclusion. Thanks in advance.

  • Formatting of EXCEL Sheets during download

    Hi all,
    There is a requirement for Formatting EXCEL Sheets when downloaded into an FTP site in background.
    The internal table is saved in application server with .xls extension and transferred to FTP thru RFC.
    is there any way to format this EXCEL file and get it formatted in FTP when it is seen.
    The report will run in background daily and every day the report has to be in same format.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Vivek ..

    Hi
    You can not format EL file that is uploaded. You have to format the internal table before generation XL file from the internal table. Internal table should have all fields in char type. set char length for each field like
       data: begin of itab..
               field1(20) type c,
               field2(20) type c,
    Append header record if u want into this itab as first record.
    Append all records into this itab.
    Generate XL file from this itab.
    I suggest you that..
    Upload this itab in to application server as 'DAT' format then generate XL file from this file. Dont set .xls when you upload itab to appl. server.

  • Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi,
      We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports).  Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not  Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
    Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
    Thanks,
    Vasu

    At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality.  It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab.  You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
    You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

    Can you please suggest any work around for this?

    I'm not referring to Servlet threading issues.
    I'll clarify.
    You have two threads, both entering ReportClientDocument.open(...) method.
    Thread 4 is waiting to acquire 'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@15214b9'
    Thread 0 is waiting to acquire ''com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@12e0415'
    So I'm thinking ??? are they the same objects?
    My specific question concerning the ReportClientDocument is that both are calling open - i.e., trying to open a new report.  You wouldn't be trying to open different reports using the same ReportClientDocument - so was wondering if you've cached the RCD and trying to open two different reports at the same time on the same instance via different threads.
    You'd normally tie a ReportClientDocument instance to a HTTP Session, to ensure each user gets their own copy.
    Sincerely,

  • How to create a report with survey data

    Hi All,
    I need to create a report with survey data in below format. Can anyone help me how to display the summary in this format.
    Swapna

    Hi Swapna,
    According to your description, you want to create a report with survey data and display the summary.
    Reporting Services is used for rendering the report with data retrieved from datasource. In Reporting Services, we can retrieve data from the datasource then design a report, after the report processed, data is fixed on the report. So it’s not supported
    to have the end users selection and do summary. For your requirement, it’s can’t be achieved currently.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

    I have same Problem. I tried all options - Reset All Settings, Erase Content & reset all settings, Upgrated to IOS8.1, Restore using iTune. But problem persists.
    When I turn Cellular Data or Wifi ON, then there is a lag while opening the Apps. But If I turn Data/Wifi off, phone becomes super fast. I have checked with my friends. They are not facing this issue. Not sure if Apple know this.

  • GL Trial Balance Report with Effective Dates as Parameters

    We have a requirement to show the GL Trial Balance report with Effective dates as Parameters.
    Current Analysis:
    The Journals get updated with corresponding CCID in GL_BALANCES table when the Journal is posted. GL_BALANCE is SOB specific, if the SOB has month as period then the balances in GL_BALANCES would get updated against the month(period).
    To overcome the period problem, we explored the option of using a View based on GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES for 'Posted' Journal Batches of a SOB. We are checking whether the GL_JE_HEADERS.default_effective_date lies between the :p_from_date and :p_to_date which is sent to the Report as a parameter. The above idea does not return expected data when the custom Trial Balance Report is run.

  • Error when executing report with large data selection in Infoview

    Hello,
    This is regarding Error we are facing in BO system.
    We have installed:
    Business Object Enterprise XI 3.1
    Crystal report 2008
    When we are trying to execute report in BO INFOVIEW on production  system, we are facing following error (After 10 mins of execution).
    ========================================================================================
    Windows Internet Explorer
    Stop running this script?
    As script on this page is causing Internet Explorere to tun slowly.
    If it continues to run, your computer might become
    unresponsive.
    ========================================================================================
    Please note: We are getting data via Crytal report. Only, execution in infoview is giving error.
    If we are executing same report with less data(E.g a days data) then we are getting output in Infoview.
    However, when we execute report with more data (6 months data) then we are getting attached error after 10 min of execution time.
    Helpfull reply will be awarded.
    Regards.

    If it is indeed a server timeout issue, the following document might be usefull: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/606e9338-bf3e-2b10-b7ab-ce76a7e34432
    It's about Troubleshooting Time-outs in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, but  a lot is still applicable.
    Hope this helps...

  • Using Fields in Reports with stored Data

    Hello,
    i like to use fields in Reports with saved Data in it.
    Is this possible ?
    Example:
    A Invoicereport with saved Data  in a File. Now i like to get the Field Invoice_ID to use this in VB.net.
    Any Idea ?
    VS2008 with CR_reports in 8.5
    Thanx

    You can export a report with saved data and then change the filtering without hitting the DB again. If you are asking if using a flat file as the data source there are multiple ways to do this. Define an ODBC data source to the file and specify the sturcture, or using ADO.NET and a record set, or using XML as the data source. Lots of ways in newer versions of CR. 8.5 was limited so the ODBC example is your best option.
    Or if you are asking how to get the data from the report you can use REadRecords. Not sure if 8.5 has this functionality though. It's way past it's end of life so I can't look.

    Not supported, 8.5 has no .net assemblies and no RDC, only option would be to use RAS to make changes or reading records so you need to upgrade.

  • Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found". 
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    Debbie,
    That's standard.
    It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
    Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
    We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
    If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
    In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
    I hope that clears it up for your.
    Regards,
    Mark
