No Filter for Excel Import

I am using ID 5.0.4 (CS3) on Vista. I am trying to place an Excel file into a table. I get the error message, "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation."
I've tried saving the file into older Excel versions.
This might be the first time I've tried to do this since I had to replace my XP machine with this Vista one. I am not sure if this is an install issue or what. Any help appreciated.

I think what happened here is that the guy sending me the file is using Office 2007. Since he knows I'm not, he saved to a previous file version, and it was not recognized by InDesign. When I pulled up the file, I didn't need to change it at all, so I never just saved it down. Instead, when it wouldn't load in InDesign, I tried older file versions thinking that the file version might be one the Adobe programmers had not yet written the code for.
I saved as several different file types, including XML. XML did look like it would solve my problem, but I did not know how to map the file columns to the table columns. From the look of it, though, XML will probably eliminate a lot of the file format headaches in the future.

Combining Text in Automator for Excel import.

I'm attempting to create an automator workflow that will string some text together so that it can be imported into an Excel worksheet. Here's my workflow so far.
• New Text File
Creates file temp.txt
• Run AppleScript
Opens file temp.txt
• Get Specified Text (specified text below)
Read Today
Read Tomorrow
Read This Week
Read This Month
• Filter Paragraphs (needed so the text is not treated as one big line of text and is displayed in the next step correctly)
Return Paragraphs that are not empty
• Choose from List (all 4 items displayed correctly, all selected by default)
Select one item
• Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
• Get Specified Text (specified text below (a semi-colon))
• Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
• Get Specified Text (specified text below)
keywords go here
• Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
• Get Contents of TextEdit Document (results below)
Read Today
keywords go here"
(Once I get this part working, I will add a URL onto it also).
So, all my content has arrived here, but on three different lines. But because it is on three different lines, it does not import into Excel correctly. I can't concatenate this using the usual AppleScript method because I would have to declare these items as variables. I've tried various ideas, but I cannot get the three above to append to one line, like this…
Read Today;keywords go here
without manual intervention, which sort of defeats the reason for trying to automate this.
I hope I've explained this well enough that it makes sense.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Well, it is good to know that it can be done in Applescript, though I have not found a way to accomplish this. All examples I have seen (Googling and AppleScript 1-2-3 book) use set statements using static strings, and then concatenating those statements together. Since my values are dynamic, those examples don't help.
What I have to work with are these lines of text in a new document.
Read Today
keywords go here
The text will vary from run to run.
What I need to end with is… (for use in Excel, import text files action)
Read Today;keywords go here (line1 & line2 & line3)
So, I don't know how to proceed from here, unless I can do something like set var1 to line1 of temp.txt, set var2 to line2 of temp.txt, etc.

Excel Importer for Visual Studio LightSwitch 2013

Has anyone managed to get the 'Excel Importer for Visual Studio LightSwitch' extension working with Visual Studio 2013?

Hi Kevin,
I assume you mean this extension here -
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlight/Excel-Importer-for-Visual-61dd4a90
From what I can tell that does not yet support VS 2013. The source code is of course available, so you could attempt to fix it up yourself and tell us the result.

Missing "Select Multiple Items" in Report Filter for Pivot Table in Excel Services

I have a Pivot Table with a Report Filter in Excel 2013.
When I click the Report Filter in Excel , I get the check-box option to "Select Multiple Items".
But , when the same Report.xls is published to SharePoint 2013 Excel Services,
the check-box-option is missing ! and the default is "Multi-select", and there is no way to disable or toggle Multi-select
is there any fix ?
thanks

Thank you Naveen, I have already read this , and checked ,
But, it does not fix my issue :(
All my desktops are set at 100%.
All my List Items show as Check-boxes, ok.
The problem is: that check-box option "Select Multiple Items" , just above the OK button, is missing when I run the report in Excel Services.
So I have no way to toggle Select Single Items only.
But when I Open this same report in Excel, everything works well.
Is there any Fix for Excel Service /Sharepoint 2013.

Multiple filter for cube drill through

Hi,
I am using MS-Analysis service 2012 to develop cube and office 2013 to browse the cube data.
I knew that drill through action will not work for Excel 2007 and below if the user selected multiple filter. is there any option available for Excel 2o12?
It is very important for our client to have multiple filter and drill through the details.
Please help..
Thanks

Hi Jithesh,
As Marco said, SQL Server Analysis Services doesn't support multiselect drillthrough statements currently. Here are some suggestions on the similar thread, please see:

If this is not what you want, I am afraid there is no other approach to workaround this. If you have any concerns about this feature, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that

Work around for Excel's array formulae?

I have an Excel spreadsheet which I have built over many years to manage maintenance tasks of my boat. I would like to convert this to run on Numbers. Unfortunately I can't find a work-around for Excel's "Array Formulas".
The column headers of my spreadsheet contain maintenance tasks (plus data on how frequently by days or engine hours these jobs need to done). When I complete a maintenance task, I log the date and engine hours in a new row with an "x" to signify that the job is done. Excel then looks up the date/engine hours when each job was last done (ie the lowest "x") and then uses conditional formatting to highlight the column headers of which jobs are overdue. Is there a work around for this in Numbers?
I attach an image shot of my Excel spreadsheet which may help:

Hi Rich,
Some made-up dates.
If you have multiple x's in a column, change all but the most recent to "Done" or something other than x This approach looks for the date in Column A that matches a single x in a task column.
This example works on years. I hope you change your oil and filter more often .
One Header Row and four Footer Rows. Enter Years between services (D9) from the keyboard.
To find the date of the last service (the only x in Column D)
D10 contains this formula:
=INDEX($A,MATCH("x",D,0))
You can Fill Right to other columns.
"Years since" (D11) contains this formula:
=YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(D10)
"Alert" (D12) contains this formula:
=IF(D11>D9,"Hey, You!", "OK")
Conditional Formatting in D12 sets the text to red if it equals "Hey, You!"
It would be best to combine these steps into one complex formula. Numbers is slowed down with each Header or Footer in a Table.
Regards,
Ian.

DRM Excel Import file format?

Hi Everyone !!
I want to import data from Excel sheet using DRM
please can anyone share a sample format for this in excel , DRM Excel import file
thanks in advance

I don't think we have an option to Import from Excel file, we are currently in 11.1.2.2 and so far it supported only a Text File Import, In the latest version we can Import from Tables, also no where Oracle has mentioned that we can Import from an Excel File.

UCMDB Excel import - update/delete relationship

Hi, is any solution to update or delete a relationship between the object in Excel import? I created one (excel import), but there are wrong way in the relationship, so I want to change/update or delete all wrong, and create the good . Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Do you mind telling us which Excel version are you using? Which file are you using as data source? Excel, access or other? I tested in my environment, but I can't reproduce your issue.
Would you like to share us a sample data source through OneDrive if possible?
On the other hand, I recommend we follow this link to re-create the connection to test:

Excel-Import with SBO 2007

Hello to all!
I have problems concerning the Excel-Import-function within SAP 2007.
I want to import some business partners (what should not be such a huge problem), but an internal error occures which states:
"internal error: Payment Methods for Payment Wizard (OPYM) (-2007) occured.
After I set up the Payment Wizard it is still not working - now the internal error stats: "(-2007)".
Experimentally, I tried to import the bp-data into an older version SAP BO 2005 - as personally expected no internal errors occured! even if i do not set up the Payment Wizard...
Here are some facts to our sbo 2007 version:
2007A (8.00.178)
SP: 00
PL: 44
I tried to find a thread upon this topic, but I could not find any. Maybe some of you might be able to help me! I am looking forward to it,
thanks a lot
daniel

Hi Daniel,
i had have similar problems by importing datas via excel function. My suggestion is to import step by step.
Select a few records and separate it into an extra excel sheet...(5-10 Records)
First try to import only CardCode, CardName, second try 2 records more. So you will find the records, that makes some trouble.
Regards Steffen
(P.S. I think it could be the g/l account definition, but i am not sure.)

Excel Import of Dates while in Manual Task Mode

It appears that I cannot do an Excel import into start/finish fields for a task that is set to manual mode. Is this true, or am I overlooking something?
This is annoying. I am having to import into the temporary fields of start1/finish1, then copy the dates over to start/finish. Using manual mode is important because it ignores dates and holidays. If my customer says an activity is to occur
on a Saturday, then so be it; I can't have the tool changing it to Monday.

Hi John -
We have a Customer that has data in a SharePoint list. Included in this data is start and finish dates. Of course our preference would be to have this particular Customer join our Project Server instantiation as yet one more PWA user. However,
there are scores of people that are maintaining this legacy SharePoint list and we are trying to be accomodating to their interface. To that end, we are trying to devise a process that will allow us to periodically ingest their data into our Server.
Once in our Server, we can then start creating links from there to the rest of our Enterprise, most likely via Deliverable/Dependency relationships which we have tuned to a fine science with macros.
There are people I know and respect that HATE Manual Mode and think it the worst thing to ever happen to MS Project. I wouldn't go that far, but my initial impression of the capability was that it seemed to allow the ability to copy/paste a twin
column of start/finish dates from Excel and paste directly into the Project start/finish. Up until v2010, this was never possible --- copying a date into Start would set a "Start No Earlier Than" constraint and then plunking
a date into finish would then set a "Finish No Earlier Than" constraint and immediatly forget the start date that was just provided!!!! We have known that if you want to copy from Excel into Project, then you need to copy a start date and a duration
and let Project compute the finish, and cross your fingers that the finish date in Project matches the one in the Excel file. My current impression of the capability is that it still has a way to go to meet expectations. The fact that there are
smart people on this thread getting different results and none of us knows why is very troubling.
One more thing I will add about how we use Manual Mode. We switched our macros that create Depedency links to using manual mode. We did this for two reasons: (1) people were complaining about all the "Must Start" constraints that
we were setting. (2) This allowed us to force dates to weekends/holidays without the imposition of a 7-day calendar. Having so much as one record in schedule with Task Calendar set to anything other than "None" then prohibits the ability to
update a schedule in PWA. We have had tremendous success with using Manual Mode from this perspective.
Regards,
Chris

Excel import problems (collected)

There are a few problems with Excel Import. Some have been reported elsewhere.
Test Data
Table Definition.
CREATE TABLE "JIM"."EXCEL_IMPORT"
   (     "COLUMN1" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
     "COLUMN2" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
     "COLUMN3" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
     "COLUMN4" NUMBER(10,2),
     "COLUMN5" NUMBER(10,0)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
Spreadsheet contents
Label1,Name 1,Desc 1,2.95,2.45
Label2,Name 2,Desc 2,1,1.23456
1 The file chooser doesn't remember the last directory used, but defaults to the sqldeveloper install directory.
2 Numbers in the preview are truncated/rounded.
2.95->3
2.45->2.4
1->1
1.23456->1.2
3 If you make a mistake in assigning table columns to spreadsheet columns, you can't undo it because the columns already used are removed from the list of available columns. This needs an 'De-assign' option
4 When you assign columns, number columns don't get their precision or scale picked up.
This shouldn't matter because the DML is simple doing insert...values(1.2), but the end result is wrong (see 5).
The DML looks OK (relative to the already rounded numbers, not to the original spreadsheet.
insert into EXCEL_IMPORT (COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3,COLUMN4,COLUMN5) VALUES('Label1','Name 1','Desc 1',3,2.4);
insert into EXCEL_IMPORT (COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3,COLUMN4,COLUMN5) VALUES('Label2','Name 2','Desc 2',1,1.2);
5 A problem with assigning colums if you switch off header row after assigning columns. There are a number of slightly different problems.
a. Select your table and select all the columns in the 'Columns' tab
b. Assign table columns to your spreadsheet columns in the 'Data Types' tab
c Go back to the columns tab
d Uncheck 'Header Row?' - the columns are all deselected
e Reselect all columns
Any of several things may happen now
e.1 In the Data types tab, columns may be missing
e.2 Column assignments may be wrong
e.3 There are no table columns in the drop down when trying to assign columns
It looks as if the handling of the list of table columns is not right.
6 The 'Choose data type' prompt is misleading. It should be 'Choose Table Column'
7 The help is very sparse, especially on the datatypes tab.
I've also posted a couple of enhancement suggestions in the exchange
- an option to save the DML
- an option to save the metadata for a given import so that the next import to the same table is just a matter of select file and go.

Are there any solutions to the data truncation/rounding problem?
I am trying to import Excel data into tables through SQL Developer and notice that the preview screen displays truncated/rounded numbers even after I have deliberately formatted the data in Excel as numbers in 3.2 format. Is there a workaround?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

How do you filter for photos with develop adjustments?

I wanted to put this information out there, because it was difficult for me to find an answer to the question of "how do you quickly filter for photos that have develop adjustments?"
Some earlier posts in this forum observe that a smart collection has the ability to filter files wherein "has adjustments" is "true." Yes, it can do that. And it can also add in a "date" parameter for more specific targeting. But it cannot simply say, "in the current folder," or "in the selected folder." And frankly, that's the exact situation when I need to filter down to the files I want: I'm in a folder—typically the current folder that I've just imported—and I've done a smattering of develop adjustments. Now, I want to quickly select just those images for export. Can't be done, not with a Smart Collection, anyway.
But Lightroom is nothing if not deep, and if you approach the problem from a filtering standpoint, it will eventually get you there—but the solution is very non-obvious. Expose the filter bar, with your favorite preset: camera info, default columns... it doesn't really matter. Hover over the header bar and to the far right will become visible the "add column" widget. Add a column. From the pop-up menu on the name will come a long list of options, the second-to-last of which is "develop preset." Once that's in place, click on "custom." Save your current settings as a new preset and give it a descriptive name like "adjusted images."
Now, when you're in your current—or any—folder, just click on "metadata" in the filter bar, and your custom preset will be in effect: any images that you've worked on will be selected. It's a fast, one-click selection.
If there's another way of doing this (keep in mind it's for the selected or current folder only), let me know. It's such a seemingly desirable action that I'm kind of astounded there's no built-in or easy or obvious way to do it... or that no photographer has requested it.

I am honored to have a response from Rikk "MVP" Flohr, and I do readily agree that your approach is one way to approach the issue. It puts the relevant images in a discrete area that is easy to access. However (this is where I look a gift horse in the mouth) I find "sorts" a bit underwhelming in comparison to "filtering." Two problems: first, the sort still does not 'clear your deck' of unwanted images. You still have to squint at the badges and carefully select the range at the top (or bottom). Mistakes can be made (and I would be the first to make them). Second, the sort command is "sticky," meaning that folder will always have that sort unless you undo it. In general, I think most photographers want to see a folder's images sorted by capture time, so they can easily glance to the beginning, middle, and end of the shoot. With my method, once you click out of the folder, the filter is taken away and you're back to normal.
I do understand that Lightroom wants me to flag my images with rankings or stars or colors or dancing beavers or what-have-you. But in this particular situation, that's an extra step. If I've applied development adjustments, it's already done. Why shouldn't I be able to choose "Select Developed Photos" from the Edit menu, right under "Select Flagged Photos"?

Task Name Field, "Blank" ("") in 2007, "Empty" (Empty) in 2010, HOW TO FILD/FILTER for empty?

In MS Project 2007, I can use VBA code in Excel and determine if the selected task “Name” field is blanks by using the code “pj.Activecell.text <> “”.
In MS Project 2010, blank name cells are no longer “” (or blank), they are “Empty”. How do users filter for a non-standard value of “empty” then the text of “empty” is not in the task “Name” cell?

Hi Dan,
Since I almost know nothing about VBA and I can only read but not write code, I'll let John or Rod (VBA kings on this forum) jump in.
But here is what I go recording the macro:
Sub Macro1()
SetAutoFilter FieldName:="Name", FilterType:=pjAutoFilterIn, Criteria1:=""
End Sub
Also ensure to have the latest version of Project 2010 since I noticed different behaviour with blank lines with 2 different versions.
Hope this helps,
