Missing user variable input values in export to excel functionality

Hi,
I have a problem in exporting data into excel, I could able to export the data with complete result rows but i am not able to see the user input variable values.
To be in detail: The moment i execute the report in web, user gives the initial variable values as selections and run a report. The data will be displayes as per the user selections. Then the user clicks on export to excel (designed as per SAP how to), now the excel data shows the body of the results but the initial input variable values are missing.
It would be really good if we also export variable values along with the report output.
If any of you solved this requirement, could you please help me in solving this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Here is a solution to make visible the Values of variables you selected in the Excel File.....
1.Create a Web Template with an Analysis Item and Info Field Item
2.Assign the Data Provider which contains varaibles to the Analysis Item
3.Assign the same Data Provider to an Info Field Item
4.In the Properties of Info Field Item,
Set the Visibility as "Visible"
Data Binding as "Variable Value" and mention the varaible
Save the Web template->Execute and Export to Excel
Now you will get it in Excel file

Missing characteristics value after exporting to excel

Hi
I created a web template with WAD 7.0 that is using a button with Export to Excel functionality.
The issue i have is that if I export to Excel, I don't see the characteristics/filter values e.g
Cal. year / quar
Company Code
Fiscal year/period
Vendor
Vendor Account Group
Structure
It displays only the data.
How do I get these characteristic values do display in excel.
thanks

Hi,
thanks for your response. I have checked and couldn't find options for select Analysis grid or Filter grid.
In the button, I used command * Export web application* and in the parameters I could find anything close to choosing the options you mentioned.
thanks

Template having export to excel functionality with filter values in WAD

Hi,
I need to create a template which has export to excel functionality with all the filter values that the user has selected in the selection screen.
export to excel can be done but how can be the output excel sheet contain only those values which we see in browser when the report is executed with some filters.
Regards,
Apeksha

Hi Apeksha,
you can achieve this requirement (unless I do not know the detailled requirement) perhaps by using this way of implementation:
1. Create a new template which contains an info_field which does a data binding to the variable values or the characteristic you want to display. Set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates and technical name of the web template created in step 2). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item).
3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly displaying the variable settings chosen in step 2 for the info_field.

Adding "Filter Criteria" to the XSLT List View Web Part impact on "Export to Excel" functionality within Document Library

Hi there,
XSLT List View displaying all the list items within the Document Library. In order to implement the Search functionality within Document library out of box "Text Filter" web part is configured as explained below. The solution is similar to
the one suggested at
http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=77
"Text Filter" Web Part added to the page.
Filter Criteria (i.e., XSLT List View columns) added to the XSLT List View where the filter parameters take the input from the "Text Filter" Web Part .
3. Both Web Parts (XSLT List View and the Text Filter) are connected.
When the search criteria is entered into the "Text Filter" Web Part, it is passed to the relevant Columns of the XSLT List View and the documents (List Items) that match the search criteria are shown within XSLT List View.
Search functionality working as expected.
Query: Selecting the "Export to Excel" icon from the ribbon generates the excel spread sheet with no data except Column Titles from the Document library. In the investigation it is
found that adding the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View is causing this bug. When the Filter Criteria is removed, then "Export to Excel" functionality is working as expected.
But it is mandatory to add "Filter Criteria" to implement the search functionality with in the document library.
Help: Help/input appreciated on the work around to get the "Export to Excel" functionality work when the "Filter Criteria"
exist on the XSLT List View.
Regards,

Once again thanks very much for your help Scott. very much appreciated.
In the investigation it is found that removing the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View makes the "Export to Excel" functionality work. But the 'Filter Criteria' is mandatory to get the 'Document Search' functionality.
I think that due to technical limitations it should be concluded that 'only custom development can make all work, no code solutions using the SharePoint Designer can meet all the requirements.
If you can think of any alternative solution that could help in resolving the current issue or fix the issue without any custom implementation please inform. Otherwise this issue would be marked as resolved with your suggested response.

VC Export to Excel Functionality not working

Hi All,
I have an issue an implementing the "Exporting the Table data to Excel."
My VC version is 7.0
Portal version NW 2004s.

Any assistance/advice appreciated.

Very strange, as I know there is no ü allowed. There should be used only ASCII.
And if there is a ü, this should translated, e.g. with base64 encoding or sth. like that.

Export to Excel functionality doesn't work when DataControlScope is shared.

Hi All,
I have a taskflow whose transaction setting is as Below:
1.Always Begin New Transaction
2.DataControlScope is isolated(Share data controls with calling task flow checkbox is unchecked).
I have an Export to Excel functionality with exportCollectionActionListener.The jsff source snippet is given below.
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{smviewcontrollerBundle.EXPORT_TO_EXCEL}"
id="cmi1" icon="/images/excel_icon.jpg"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_fragments_RefSetSearch.cmi1}">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="resId1"
type="excelHTML"
filename="SmRefSetCodes"
title="System Reference Inquiry Result"/>
</af:commandMenuItem>
The jsff is used in the above mentioned task-flow.Having this configuration in task-flow,export to excel doesn't export any table data in the excel sheet.But the moment,data-control-scope is changed to shared,export starts working.
Is there any specific reason on this kind of behavior.
In all other task-flows in my application,I have data-control-scope as isolated only,but there,export is working perfectly fine.
Please help.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply.
Exactly,I have just one task-flow in which I have a page fragment for which export to excel is not working.The moment I change the data-control-scope to shared,export functionality starts working.
I do have correct table id mentioned in exportCollectionListener.
Is there anything I need to look into?
Thanks,
Gaurav.

Text Elements in Export to Excel functionality

Hello Gurus,
I have added Export to Excel functionality button on my web template and also added a Text Element Web Item to my web template. I am unable to get the Text Elements into the Excel Sheet when I click on Export to Excel button. Is there a way to show them in the Excel sheet when I click on Export to Excel or it is not possible to show them.
Please let me know.
Thanks a lot
Raj

Raj,
Export to Excel will work only for the table item. Not 100% sure, but don't think that it can be setup for teh text items.
Put the text elements into parts of teh query, for e.g. in the query title or column headings.
The idea of export to excel is that the data gets exported. There is no transfer of context of the information.

New user coloumn with user variable input

Hi,
I want a user defined coloumn in a new Query for Report and also it should prompt for user defined values.
Case scenario.
In a report for stock status ( Qty, rate , Total etc.) i need a new column " Forex Rate" which should prompt user to put exchange value manually as on the date of running this report anytime i.e this new column has variable input.
Since the items are purchased from various sources, the report has to display the value in respective purchase currency. The value on report generation date is based on input of exhange rate as explained. This should prompt before running the report.
I just need the query part for creation of such column and user prompt. Will integrate that into rest of query.
Thanks,

Hi,
Do you have any UDF defined already?
Thanks,
Gordon

Variable input values in the query are displayed wrong

Hi experts,
I executed a report and in the variable input screen it asks for a key date and company code.
We entered key date and company code and executed the report.
We want to take a print out of the output. But the variables which we entered in the variable screens are
dispalying wrong. i.e if we have entered company code as gsml and key date as 01.01.2008.
In the report output I am getting as:
Company code: gsml
Keydate: #..27-11-4745
But keydate should be displayed as 01.01.2008
How to solve this ?
Regards,
Nishuv.

Nishuv,
Please follow below steps:
1. Open query through Bex - Query Designer
2. Beneath the Rows Area( where you actually drag in charactertistics), you'll be finding two tabs Filter and Rows/Columns
3. Click on Filter Tab
4.You'll be navigated to a window, there you can trace two Workareas
a. Characteristic Restrictions: Where drag in the relevant Prompts/Input Variables
b. Default Vaules
5.First, Drag the required promts/Input Variables in Characteristics Restrictions.
6.Click on the varible which was dragged in Characteristic Restriction area and drop it into default values area.
7.Now you'll have visibility of variable in two regions, Characteristics and Default Values.
8. Save and Execute the Query

BEx variable input value

Hi,
I have created a BEx Query, now based on selection screen inputs.
Selection Screen Inputs:
MATNR -
PLANT-
SLEVEL-(User Input Value) Mandatory
Now when i select inputs at the time of running query eg;
MATNR - 'ABC'
PLANT-'A123'
SLEVEL-'0.55' (User Input Value)
Now my report should look like this.
MATNR | PLANT | SLEVEL
ABC A123 0.55
ABC A123 0.55
Here SLEVEL value shld be user input value. How to achive this?

Hi,
Using Formula varible and Boolean expression concept you can get it.
1) Define a formula varible with user entry.
2) USe the varaible in the expression ,for ex:
FV2 = (fORMULAVARIABLE == SLEVEL ) * SLEVEL
3) PUT CONDITION on FV2 not equal to 0.
OR
Simply use Condition Varaible.

LOV on user defined input values

Hi
I have created an element and created an input value of Description.This input value 'Description' will contain 2 or 3 criterias like 10% Basic,20%Basic and 30% Basic. To Reduce data entry and minimize spelling mistake i was looking to put this description in lov so that user can select from list instead of typing each time.
How can this be done.
Regards

read the online help of the element type screen. It tells you how to use an application lookup, or a value set to populate the LOV.

Send Captivate user variables and values to the LMS ?

Hi all. has anyone got a clever way to send a bunch of Captivate user variables and their values to an LMS (Moodle) so that they end up recorded as part of the SCORM course results or do these need to be explicitly part of a Quiz ? I think that I can setup where I get these values from the Learner so that they take the form of a Quiz (even though there is not a right answser) and set the the LMS settings to record interactions and scores. But is there an easier way to send them via LMSSetValue or even using a widget ?
Fergal

You can do it, but it will definitely not be the easiest way to achieve the objective. The accessibility of your web form will determine what you can and can not do.
The first issue would be populating the field of the form, and that can be achieved by actually re-generating the form programmatically and assigning a value to the html value tag for that field.
The second issue of "click on the button" is not trivial. If you're in the windows environment you will have to get into intercepting windows messages from the message queues and get the handle of the web browser window and after finding all the relevant information that will change every time this process is performed, is in my opinion not worth the effort.
I would approach this di
fferently in looking at what you are trying to achieve in the first place and that is to do directly with the data what the form would've done.
Forms will either send some e-mail to someone using the submitted data or submit information to a database or write it to a file. If you have a cgi script behind the form you can pass the information directly to the script rather, i.e call the scrip directly in the same way the form would've using your program and skip the form.
If you can be specific about your objectives and give me details about the forms and detail on the web server type and the capabilities of handling various types of cgi scripts I can give you detailed advice and pointers towards achieving the solution.
Questions you need to answer:
What would the form do with the data? (mail, file, database etc.)
How many fields do you need to submit?
What type of web server are you running? (IIS, Apache etc.)
Were is the form hosted, on the www
or on an intranet?
Is it accessible to you to change/add scrips to it?
Hope this helps.

Y-axis Does not show values when exported to excel

Hi,
We are facing trouble while showing Y-axis values when report is exported to excel. On report Y-axis is shown properly however when we export it to excel only 1 value is shown with arrow mark(=>).
If we will right click Y axis, we can see all data exported in "Select Data". If we select Y-axis, and change axis properties to automatic, we can see Y-axis values on excel.
Now, is there any property setting which will show all the data on Y-axis instead of showing up single value with arrow?

Thanks for your reply. I tried it closing all sheets and exporting, however result doesn't change. There is an aggregate table we are querying to which holds almost 20k records. Right now I have observed this with 3 reports. In one of the report I am using Horizontal chart. In that report there is issue with X-axis.
e.g.
Band
1000<= |
             |
             |________________________________
              A                     B                  C                D

Column values shift towards left for null values when export to excel

Post Author: pssuresh
CA Forum: Exporting
All,
I have a strange problem when using crystal report 10 export through C# Code. Consider in a row there are 3 columns and i am exporting to excel. ex.Student_id,Student_name,Student_Section. If Student_name values are null, then student_section values get displayed under student_name. There is a column shift towards left when there are null values. If anybody has already faced this problem, please post ur answer.
Note: When i just export to excel directly from crystal report, it works fine. i face problem only when i export through .Net code. I guess it is the problem with some formatting through code. if any body has fix, let me know.
Thanks,
Suresh.P.S

Thanks for your reply. Even i have done the same thing yesterday to solve that problem. But we have nearly 100 of reports and started migrating now. The best solution crystal reports suggest is this.
