Number stored as text (in jsp report with excel output)

Hi
I created a jsp report for excel output. I see that the numbers are left aligned with a green traingle on the top of each cell. Was just wondering how can I resolve this and have my numbers displayed as numbers - right aligned and with no green triangle. Is there some setting I have to make explicitly so that numbers appear as numbers in excel output?
Thx!

Hi Sasidar,
In Excel right click the column select format cells and then select the format as text which is general by default.
Regards,
Anil.

How to convert a number stored as text to as integer with formating

Hi,
Can someone say me how to convert a Numeric data that is stored in a Varchar column to an integer.
Say, I have a Value "-.84566666" in a column which is of data type VARCHAR and I want to show this data as "-0.8456", i.e. I want to display it as an Interger after formating it to have only 4 decimal place value etc.
Is there any inbuilt function in oracle for this?
Thanks,

Take a look at builtin TO_NUMBER / TO_CHAR functions.
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER('-.84566666'), 'SD9999')
FROM dual;C.

You can use BI publisher for your requirement -
Create a Concurrent program which is based on the executable 'XDODTEXE'
The Short_Name of the concurrent program should be the same as the data_definition short_name from Xml Publisher responsibility.
You can go through the link provided by Alex for creating the UI Template and the data template.

Matrix with excel output?

Hi
I was wondering if creating a matrix report with excel output is possible?
_*

Hi
Are you referring to creating matrix report with excel output by specifying
destype=localfile desformat=DELIMITED delimited_hdr=yes?
Also, I am aware that we can create well formatted excel output with jsp reports. Has anyone given that a try with matrix reports or only rdf would work?
Thx!

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?
I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
Thanks

If the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes
>
I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Oracle J2EE Thin Client?
I am not sure what this is used for in your setup.

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in Advance

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.

Problem with images in XML with excel output

Hello:
I made an XML concurrent program, with excel output, but i am having a problem:
The rtf template has a logo (bmp image), but it is not showing in the excel (if i execute the concurrent in the oracle applications). However, if i create the xml in Oracle Reports in my computer, and then load that xml in the rdf template in word, i can see the logo in the excel preview. I don't know why is it not showing when i execute the program in applications.
If someone can help me with this, i will be very grateful.
Greetings

xml cP, will not give you a image in excel output,..
In RDF there is a placeholder for image, and the image is located in certain location, at runtime it picks and render the output with logo.
but xml CP, will get the data in xml type and merge with rtf to get the output you wanted..
if you have the rtf with logo embedded in it, if output is of pdf or rtf output , then it will display the logo ,.
in excel currently it is not possible to show the logo,..
excel you see could be xml-excel or csv-excel not the true binary excel.
to get the logo embedded ,for that you have to wait on tim for the excel template, which will be release in near future i guess..

Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)

Hi All,
Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
XML tool works based on query.
I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sai Krishna @cavaya.com

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
Now we are looking at a different perspective:
Basically our client is looking for the following:
1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
2. Use of macros if possible.
And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
Thx,
Nitin

Number stored as text

Hi~
when write a table to MS Excel, the number all stored as text as you can see green flag on left top corner of each cell, this is cause the fomula in upper cell un-workable.
the code that used to write excel as below:
have you even seen this before? pls advice, thx!

Hi ELI,
but in this way we waste much time to write excel, bcs the table was written to cell one by one.
Nobody mentioned to write cell by cell. You still can write full columns or even 2d arrays of data - you just have to separate strings from numbers!
can we solve this error in LabVIEW? with activeX..
There is no error in LabVIEW. And there is no error in Excel. It's an error in your programming!
By now you got two different solutions presented, how much more do you need?
I thought you learned a lesson by now. But you still feed us with breadcrumbs of information with each of your posts: Now you bring the execution time into play…
