Missing Font in Imported Excel File

I keep getting a "missing font" preflight error on an imported Excel chart placed into Indesign. Indesign CS4 wants me to apply a different font to the original file in Excel. The font in the original file is Arial. And Arial has been "installed" correctly. Not sure exactly why I keep getting this error. I've also tried changing the font to something else and I get the same error. Its as if the "Arial" Excel uses is not the same "Arial" that Adobe uses.
This is how I'm importing the Excel chart. I used the Adobe Acrobat distiller to convert the XLS to a PDF. Then I place the PDF file where I need it in my Indesign document. I export the file as a PDF because its easier to work with since I don't need to make any changes to the chart itself. I also find that Indesign doesn't like working with bigger Excel files for example, the selection box doesn't include the entire chart and its difficult to adjust the cells since Indesign adjusts the cell widths to be more narrow. If I import it as an unformated table, everything looks terrible and I end up spending so much time trying to get the chart to look the way I want it to.
Anyone having the same issues? I'll thinking about just ignoring the preflight warning as I can't find a way around this.

Basically I create the chart in Excel with the font "Arial", I then use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button on the top of the toolbar. It does it's process of converting it then acrobat will open and show me the converted file. The file looks just the way it did in Excel which is what I want. I'm not exactly sure how to embed the font during this process. To me it seems that it should automatically do that when acrobat converts the file. I then "Place" the file into my Indesign document. Once placed the chart looks perfect and there are no highlighted missing font fields. Its just when I do a preflight check is when the error message appears.

Importing excel files - problem with single quote

When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
REM Error report:
REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
REM *Cause:
REM *Action:
One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Steve

Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
Thanks

Adding hyperlinks to imported excel file cells

Good Afternoon All,
I am having trouble assigning hyperlinks and defining names to the individual cells of an imported excel file (import into Visio). Ideally, I would like to be able to hyperlink shapes in other Visio pages (of the same
workbook) to individual cells of the imported excel file and vice versa. Is there any way of doing this?
Please let me know if I can clarify.

How import excel file as data sorce in OBISE Physical layer correctly?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to import an excel file as data source in OBISE Physical layer. I create the ODBC that link the correct file (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html#t1)
than imported the Excel using the import from database tool in the Oracle BI Adminstration. I see the Excel but i can't see data in it. Can you help me, please? I'm new in this.

Did you enter a range in excel file?
The range represents table name in the physical layer after you import excel file.
See in this blog example:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/06/obiee-excel-import-prepping-data.html
Did you use import from database and select excel data source that you created in ODBC?
I did the same and works for me.
Save repository first and view data and check connection pool/data source name in your excel database folder.

Itunes & numbers will not import excel files

I have tried with several different files and with different types. But numbers will not import any excel files to my ipad. Is there something i am missing?

Have you copied the files from iTunes to the Numbers program? Go to the My Spreadsheets page in Numbers and tap the in box (Open box with in arrow). You will see a couple of option with one of those being "Copy from iTunes". Try that and the file should appear in My Spreadsheets.

How do i import excel files from my pc to my iPad 2 numbers app

i was able to import PDF files from my PC to my iPad; however, if i try the same method to import Word or Excel docuements, the files do not import after i sync.
Successful method to import PDF files form my PC to my iPad:
open iTunes
select my iPad in devises
click on Apps
select PDF app under File sharing
click on Add
select file from appropriate folder in my PC
file now shows under share File sharing
Sync
file shows in my iPad in my PDF app
this method does not work for word or Excel docs
I am selecting Numbers and Pages respectively
your help is greatly appreciated.

You could use Icloud to do it.
Turn on Icloud on your ipad in settings, icloud. You can have everything off if you want in icloud, but documents and data turn ON. Then on your computer go to www.icloud.com. * Click Iwork, numbers. Then just drag the files into there.
*Install the plug in if its a pc.
Thats the way I do it, so I cant walk you through the steps the other way off hand. Someone else might.

"DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE" Error while importing Excel File

Hello,
I am getting following error while importing data from Excel 2003 to SQL server using SSIS 2008, [Excel Source [1]] Error: There was an error with output "Excel Source Output" (9) on component "Excel Source" (1). The column status
returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
If i open the excel file and done any editing then the same file loads without any issue. Can you guide me why it's happening ? , i have edited "TypeGuessRow" property to 0 , IMEX = 1 but no help.
Thanks

Hi Ved_Prakash,
The error is generic and can occur due to various causes. In order to troubleshoot this issue, I need to clarify some information:
Could you please post some sample data for that column in the error message?
Have you modify some properties after accessing data from that Excel file?
Since the error message is incomplete, could you post other error messages from the Output pane？
Besides, we can also use
SQL Server Import Export Wizard to import Excel into SQL Server database.

Importing Excel File Setup by Columns

I have an engineer that is requesting data to be converted from an Excel file for use in DIAdem. The file is a compilation of data based on a search query in a database. Each line is a seperate occurance logged in the database. In the example below "TEMPERATURE MAXIMUM" was searched over a certain time period for a particular Unit ID. To import this into DIADEM I would want to make each unique UNIT ID a group, and each unique Definition Description as a channel name within the corresponding group. For the data I would want to have Begin Capture Time as a time channel ( it would need to be organized from earliest date to latest) with it's corresponding value placed into the channel named by the definition description.
I also have the ability to export the fiel from the database program into a .csv file.
Can this be done usign the standard import wizard. I was unable to find a way.

Hi MK,
You didn't see any difference because you didn't query the data in the file-- see the attached screenshot of what that looks like. With a query you can pick exactly which rows you want to load from as many files as you want. It's hard for me to guess your use case based on 14 rows of data that are all temperature. Are you usual data files longer than this? Do you ever have data other than Temperature in those data files? Do you want to compare data from multiple files?
I would welcome a set of ASCII files, if your process is to import those CSV or TXT files into Excel. Then the DataPlugin could save you that steo as well.

Importing excel file to SQL Server

I have an application that needs to import an excel file with
10 columns of data into an SQL Server database table with 13
columns of data. Two of the 3 extra database columns are manditory,
and I need to manipulate the values going in.
I've determined the best method to do this using coldfusion
is to import the excel file into a cvs file then use SQL to import
the cvs file into SQL server. Does anyone know how to import an
excel document into a cvs file using ColdFusion?
Thanks!

A couple of things come to mind. You might consider using DTS
to import your data directly into SQL Server from Excel, rather
than putting ColdFusion in the middle. Or, you might consider
creating a ColdFusion ODBC datasource out of your Excel file, use a
cfquery to select the applicable data, then insert the data into
SQL Server in a loop. Not very efficient, but it can be done.

Missing Fonts in my inDesign file...

Just recently completed an inDesign file, but it is telling me it has missing fonts. The file was originally started in CS4 by a coworker and completed by me in CS5. I'm confused because the fonts show up in the file, but still are classified as missing. I tried to send this file to print, but they could not print it because of the missing fonts. If anyone could help me out, you would be doing me a huge favor. Thanks everyone and have a great day.

I understand how to get the fonts to work and I just received the Helvetica font's from him and got those working but the Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk aren't working. They can in a file with a strange icon (a grey box with green letters that spelled out "exec").
This is the one:
It's Mac OS X very unhelpful 'unrecognized file type' default icon, and it might be anything, from an unrecognized file format (unlikely because OS X should recognize most font files) up to a damaged download.

When I "find first" to see where the missing font is located, its on the first and second pages and it is the background graphics, which I think an outside party designed. If I can't get the Berthold fonts to work, what should I do next?
That's a problem on a different level. Is this in a placed EPS or PDF, or (sigh) even a placed InDesign page? Then it was up to the original designer to embed the fonts used into the image -- or, failing that, convert to outlines (which ought not to be necessary in a moderately modern workflow). About the only way to get it to work is to actually install these fonts on your system as well and hope it's the exact same version.
