Missing column data in Excel output

I have a report where one object is not displaying when output to excel. When refreshing the report in Webi or Deski, the results show, but when it is exported to excel, that particular column is missing data...the column header still shows though. I have tried adding the formula =Trim([Object]) which worked once but is not working in this instance. Any ideas on what may be causing this and potential fixes?

Hi,
There are no merged columns. I made sure the table is flush to the top of the report. Also the column header is visible. See below. I highlighted the Summary column in webi to show the formula that had worked previously to alleviate this issue, but as you can see in the excel output, it is not working. Also, I made sure the formatting of that column is the same as the other columns.

Fixed column width in Excel output

Hi,
Can we fix a column width when we are viewing the report output in excel? Can we do that in RTF template?
If the column name is too long, it is automatically inreasing width of the column...But I need the column to be of a fixed width.

You should try Excel templates instead of RTF templates. This is the best method to control Excel output formatting like column width.did you try excel template ?
for example for 3 nested group?
from Re: Can XDODTEXE produce BI Publisher output?
i tested true excel template on ebs r12.1.2 and it works only for one group and for two group the result awful it duplicate and mix data
IMHO true excel template very limited yet

Dates in Excel output

I'm having problems with dates in excel. I create a query wizard report with a date field. I then change the output format to Excel. My date formatting is ignored, but that's a known issue. But the SYLK (.SHOW) file tells excel to treat the date as a string, not a date.
Does anyone have a workaround for this.
Thx

That works for formatting the date. But my problem is on the import. When you chose Excel as an output format the dates are not imported as dates, but as strings. The ASCII import works OK, but it's an extra step to save the ASCII file.

Dynamic data column; pdf vs excel output

I have created a amortization report using BIP dynamic data columns. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic columns are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
Any idea what could be wrong here. Why does it work fine in excel and not in pdf output.
Please let me know if you would like to see the rtf template and xml data file.
Regards
Hitesh

Can you send me the sample xml and RTF ?

XML Report - Excel output automatic cell expand

Hi,
I created a XML report with Excel output. It works fine but I have 35 columns in that report.
When I open the excel file - columns are not expanded, user needs to expand it manually.
But It should automatically expanded when the user opens the report. How can i do that?
Thanks in advance.

You need to create the rtf template with enough width for each column to render the output fully expanded when viewed from BI Publisher Desktop, which will look the same when run as a concurrent request. If you used the table wizard to create your excel layout, you can widen the columns in Word and paste/enter some spaces before or after each header field in the top row which will force the html rendering that XML Plublisher utilizes to widen the columns when creating Excel output. The fundamental disconnect here is XML Publisher is not rendering .xls or .csv output, but rather html that opens in Excel minus most Excel formatting. You might need to use a 22 inch landscape layout to fit all 35 columns after they are widened.

How can I plot data from excel in a XY graph

Labview experts,
I have a really simple problem in labview:
I have some data in excel: 2 columns with a certain number data. The two columns are related to each other. So I want to plot all the points in a x y graph. Coordinates point 1: (row1,col1) coordinates point 2: (row2,col2)...
Now i want, in a first step, import this data in labview and draw the X Y graph in labview.
So the points of the first column on the x axis and the data of the second column on the y axis.
that's how i do it now: Attachment
That's only working if i'm using a waveform graph, but i want a XY graph
Is there somebody with a solution,
Kind regards,
Jelle

To setup a plot of XY from dual column data in excel, select the two column including the name header for both column and then select to insert a scatter plot with the points connected by lines and Voila you have a 2 axis plot with x and Y dimensions and including the title for the trace from the column header already formatted for you. If you select more than 2 columns then the first is the X dimension and the remaindre columns all become Y axis traces for multiple plot lines for each column. This is easy folks and basic excel functions for plotting. One the graph is created and displaying the data, clear the data and save as a template. Now when you call the template and stuff the columns of data into the table fields, excel automatically updates the plot and all you have to do after stuffing the data in is save the excel file. Task done. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply.
it was quite helpful for me. But is there any way to display the data in the same line in excel as if we set row height exactly then it works but data going to be display in the next line.
e.g.

Output report data to excel file format or csv format

Is there any way to save softcopy of report output to excel file format or csv format.

Hi,
Regarding csv file format, i have no issues. The file is generating without any issues in using oracle reports without using any PL/SQL code.
My requirement is to design oracle reports to generate excel (.xls) file with multiple worksheets. Each sheets are having many data and graphs(chart).
Using oracle reports alone, how to achieve this.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version, I tried by creating .rdf file but, it is generating single worksheet only.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 ver, I tried by creating .jsp file. For this first i am creating excel template about how my ouput column headings all that going to be with one sample hard coded data and save the excel file as web page.
Eg employee.html.
Next open the html file in oracle reports builder and double click the websource now, you will see the jsp tags, html and xml tags. Now include the contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel " and charset also.
Next, include the <rw:foreach id="G_EMPNO_1" src="G_EMPNO">
here insert the fieldl for each column by removing the hard coded values.
close the tag
</rw:foreach>
Save the file as .jsp and deploy it in oc4 enabled folder (say, devsuite_home/reports/j2ee/reports_ids/web
Start the oc4J server
Run it in the browser http://server:port/reports/emp.jsp?useride=uid/pwd@db
It is invoking the Microsoft excel with 3 sheets default and my emp table output in the first page.
We can save this output file as .xls file by clicking file -> save as.
1) The question is, it is working fine with Microsoft excel 97-2003 version. But for excel 2007, i am not able to create single html file like how 2003 save web page option.
2) I found this in oracle getting started demo
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Which is more useful. This is what i am looking for.
I done that in excel 2003 as per demo. But excel 2007 with reports 10g issues.
Is there any demo for 10g with excel 2007
3) For most of excel issues working fine with excel 2003 and 10g. But excel 2007 with 10g reports are issues.
I want the excel output from oracle reports with multiple worksheet similar to the above demo.
Thank you.

Missing Header Row When Exporting Data to Excel and Program Runs Slow

Hello all,
I am new to programming. I’ve dabbled with VB.NET at times over the years but this is the first time I’m trying C#. Although, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done any type of programming other than writing SQL queries at work. For the sake of trying to
learn I have given myself a project that is something I can actually use at work. Right now I'm doing it at home. I’m querying a database on SQL Server 2008 R2; putting the data from the DB into a DataViewGrid and then exporting the data into Excel and saving
the file on my C:\ drive. On the form I have two buttons; one that queries the DB and the other to do the export. The code below does work but I have two issues that I need assistance with:
All of the SQL table data goes into Excel properly with the exception of it is missing the header row.
After I click the Export button it takes a long time to create the Excel file. It takes between 2.5 and 3 minutes. It is not a big file (only 447 rows and 125 KB in size) so I don’t know why it takes so long. Does it have anything to do with the number
of times Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel is being referenced? I read somewhere online that is an old COM method although I’m not familiar with what a COM method is
and why it would make things run so slow.
When I click the button to run the SQL query and load the DataGridView it runs immediately.
I plan on taking this project further such as adding date parameters including validation on the dates and then maybe adding buttons that can be used to insert, update and delete records. But I don’t want to go any further until the two issues mentioned
above are resolved. Any assistance / guidance will be greatly appreciated. Here’s the code:

Hide column in Excel output?

I have a .cfm file generating Excel output using CFContent.
The client want to have certain data in a hidden column.
I am already using XML to freeze the header and I tried
hiding the column by using a <LeftColumnVisible> tag within
the WorkSheetOptions (which is what Excel generates when you hide a
column). But it doesn't come through in the CF output.
Any suggestions?
Ken

Thanks. But "Exclude XML output" does not work dynamically. It cannot be set to "No" or "Yes" programmetically.
What I would like is to provide my user a parameter "Show Column X? (Yes/No)". Based on user's choice, the Excel output should display or hide column X.
Thanks for the response!

Date format and Alignment Change in the Excel Output.

Hi Forum,
Greetings to You!!!
I was created one RTF format file. In this i have to display date format as (dd-mon-yyyy) in the excel output and also some data in the column have varchar2 and numbers. When i generate the output in html, pdf format using the xml file its coming fine.
When i generate the output in excel format then date format is changing to dd-mon-yy and who have data in number format is automatically going to rtight alignment.
But client need all the date output in the left alignment (dd-mon-yyyy) ..Please advice me ..
Thanks & Regards,
Nag.CH

Hi Helios,
Thanks for giving reply. We are using 11.5.10.2 Application . We are not using any ADI..I just run the xml file in my local system itself in excel format..Date format is coming dd-mon-yy.Not in Apps environment.
Thanks,

Store data in excel file in multiple columns

Hi,
I am working on a data logger type of project. I have to store data received from serial port into excel file. I have attached images of data I am getting at serial port ,image of how I want to store data in excel worksheet and image of VI i tried.
please note that I know VI I built is incomplete. I have mentioned in image, In which part exactly I need help...
If anyone can suggest more efficient ways to do this that will be very helpful.

You are not writing to an Excel file -- you are writing a "spreadsheet", which is entirely different.
It is usually a good idea to write yourself some documentation, as it can help decide how to structure your program. For example, do you collect all of the data, and then write it all at once? That suggests three sub-VIs, "Acquire Data from VISA", "Extract Data from Serial String", and "Output Data to Excel". The output from the first VI could be an array of Strings that look like "XCount: 123 Depth: 456 YCount: 789", the output from the second could be a 2D array whose columns are the XCount, Depth, and YCount values, and the third sub-VI would take this 2D array and use the Report Generation Toolkit to write a true Excel file (.xlsx) with headers XCount, Depth, and YCount and containing the values from the 2D array. Each of these tasks is relatively simple to do "stand-alone", and it will be much easier to maintain/modify your top-level design if you only have 3 sub-VIs (with maybe some "bookkeeping functions" like getting file names) to worry about.
On the other hand, if you need to acquire/parse/output a point at a time, this can still be done, but now you have to mix everything together. Still, conceptualizing it as three sequential tasks (and maybe making three sub-VIs that do "one piece" of each task) might help you develop your algorithm.

Clob column in excel output

Hi All,
I have a clob column in my RTF. when I preview the output in excel...complete data is not visible in the cell of the spread sheet but when I click on that perticular cell of the spread sheet. I can see the whole data at the top of the spreed sheet. I've searched this forum and came accross same issues but they where left unresolved.
Is there a way to show the complete data in the cell of the excel sheet ?
Thanks in advance....

I've never worked with Clobs in Excel output, but from the sounds of it, all of your data is present in the Excel output, it's just that the column is not wide enough or the cell is not tall enough to display all of the data.
As "rick_me" wrote in this post Re: Number and cell formatting in RTF
Excel takes it's cue from the RTF template for how to size the columns.
You can also give Excel general guidlines as to the row height.
Put your data into a Table in the RTF template and experiment by altering the height and width of the table cells.

Excel for iPad has missing columns

I've downloaded Excel for ipad and also have Office 365 Subscription. When I download Excel Spreadsheet from my OneDrive it opens up just fine, however, it is missing columns that are on Excel sheet from OneDrive. I also see no way to scroll sideways on the sheet. When I open a blank (new) sheet it scrolls just fine. Anybody else have these issues?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Upload data from excel where one column has text of 3000 characters

Guyz,
I have a query. One of my requirments is to upload data from excel sheet & create a material. In the excel sheet one of the columns has text for BASIC DATA TEXT under ADDITIONAL DATA of a Material. This is a text of running length.
the selection screen has feature of file upload & the users will upload excel files from their respective presentation servers.
Now my problem is that I need a function module which can convert this column in excel sheet into an internal table & later call the BAPI for MM creation.
I have used TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP & when i read my internal table to check this column length, it shows only 255 characters where as data in the excel sheet has 3000 characters (say for eg.)
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks in advance
GPK

Hi,
You can try using this function module and see that whether all your data is coming into the internal table properly.
MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT
For the other part you needed to convert the internal table data into the structure as need by the BAPI and then call the create BAPI to create the materials in the SAP System.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.
