OBIEE download to Excel - Overlapping charts

When I downloaded a report (that consist of charts and pivot table) - to Excel, we encountered a issue the charts will be overlapping each other.
I would like to know if there's any workaround to fix it.
Thanks

sree,
change the download number in inistanceconfig file and check the updated value is available in EM after restarting the services(OPMN).if not enter the required value in download button w't have you been given in instanceconfig.xml.
Instanceconfig file path: <biee11g_install>\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml
change value in:
<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>64000</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>
check value after restart the service in em, same values is there or not: Maximum nuber of rows to download.
Thanks,

Download to Excel not proper for chart

Hi all,
I have a graph and a simple tabular report in Dashboard page.
When i m trying the option download to excel the chart is not coming proper in excel and it is overwriting the report.
So its like that report at the background and a chart over it.
Can i have the option to show the chart below or above the report?
Please note i m using multiple charts in View Selector and user can select any chart of his choice and also re-arraging the graph option and report in compound layout.

Rajan

Hi All,
I am also facing the same problem. When I download to Powerpoint, its getting downloaded properly and whn I download to excel, I am not able to download properly. I have 2 charts of the same report being displayd sde-by-side and under them I have a pivot table displayed in compound view. When downloaded to excel, the first chart is overlapping on top of the report in the excel.
Can anyone suggest if we have any options?
Thanks Shravan

Overlapping Views on Download to Excel

Hi Guys,
I have a Pivot View and Chart view arranged horizontally in compound layout.
When i download in excel the chart view somehow gets overlapped with the pivot view, even though for other downloads powerpoint, MHTML it works fine.
Can you suggest how to get around this problem.
Cheers
Dhrubo

Hi..
don't know exactly why..
but try to format both views has same size..
so go for format View option of every view. ie.e. Pivot View and Chart view
And go to Additional format option, mention here sizes of width and height..
May solve your problem, but check and report back...
Thanks & Regards

Thank you very much

POI can emit binary MS Office documents, but there are also text- or xml-based alternatives like csv or the newer XML-based document formats.
In our various projects we happily use all these approaches: POI/binary, csv, xml.Thanks,
at least there is someone here who has experience with POI. I may need help when implementing it. I have background in EJB and did lot of work with servlet, jsp too but the only front ends I worked with are Swing(and AWT) and (HTML, javascript) web page, so I have not had to learn new things for long :D
Now, with the new job, I have to deal with various projects and lot and lot of things I haven't done or even known
Now, we are in design phase and I 'd like to know that whether or not we can do it
So my question should be answered "yes, we can", right?
Here is what I plan to do
In the servlet, I should generate an excel sheet with data. Then generate the charts based on the data to attach to the excel file.
Finally, dump all file into the output stream

MB51, download to excel works different for online and background.

Hi,
Have a question regarding excel download of MB51 in online mode against background.
If I run MB51 online, I can download it to an excel sheet that is easy to read and work with. Each column in the report in seperate column in excel.
If I run it in the background, try to download the spool to excel, I don't get the columns the same way as online report.
Ive tried changing the layout, downloading to excel, downloading to text and then dropping to excel, etc.
Why wont the download from a batch job work the same as online?
Any ideas or anyway to fix?

Hi All,
I am also facing the same problem. When I download to Powerpoint, its getting downloaded properly and whn I download to excel, I am not able to download properly. I have 2 charts of the same report being displayd sde-by-side and under them I have a pivot table displayed in compound view.

Download to Excel is hiding rows in a pivot view

Hello ,
When downloading a report to excel from OBIEE Dashboard , certain rows are getting hidden . For instance , I have total 15 rows in my pivot view and when I download that report into excel format , the rows from 8-13 are not showing up . After 7th row I see 14th row .
But when I download the same report from Answers I can see all rows in the pivot view .
I tried looking at the formatting options of the pivot view and everything is normal . This is happening only with this particular report , other reports in dashboard download normally .
Please let me know if anybody has ideas .
Thank you
Karthik

karthik,

Last option create a new report (without any filters in case if u have)

Stop download to Excel from converting string of digits & dashes into date

Hi,
How can I stop BI and Excel data from converting a column of string data that is comprised of numbers and dashes into a date format when it is downloaded into Excel?
I'd like to solve this problem in BI, so that any users can download the data from a BI report into Excel without having to change the Excel date column back into a string column.
Thanks,
Darcy

Hi Again Darcy,
hmmm... That is very interesting. I just tried on OBIEE 10.1.3.2 ( a version before yours) on Windows XP with Office 2003 and an Oracle 11g DB backend and it did not have any problems pulling the value as text and not a DATE
Can you try something for me? In a new report, add any old dimensional (year, month name, etc) field twice into the report and change the second column formula to be following: '7001-2'
Try to export that report and see if that value comes through as text or a date. If it is something about the SQL server data set, then the above test should come through as text object in your excel download because we aren't pulling it from SQL Server, we'll creating it directly in OBIEE. If the above test does come through as a date, then it should mean that SQL Server isn't the issue. And if that is the case, I am starting to wonder if there's a setting in Office to can be enabled/disabled to avoid any data casting.
Best regards,
-Joe

Download to Excel 2007 (.xlsx) Help

Hi Everyone, I have an issue with the Download options - Download to Excel.
We have a few on-demand bulk reports that basically allows users to fire a detailed obiee report through GoURL.
Once the report is done, the Download Option - Download to Excel allow them to export data to an Excel Spread-sheet.
The issue is, OBIEE is exporting the data to Excel as Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet, (.xls) format. As we all know this has a max row count limitation (65000) per sheet.
I was wondering if there is any setting in OBIEE side that would force the Download to Microsoft Excel 2007, (.xlsx) format which has a max row count of 1 million.
If anyone can help me finding the configuration file or settings in OBIEE that would do the above requirement, is greately appreciated.
Thanks
Sai

Yes. Refer to ID 1380981.1 and ID 1451127.1

Download to excel titles off line

Hi
I pressed the download to excel option from a dashboard in obiee version 10 1 3 and the result shows the report in column a2 to g11, for example, but the title that should be in a1 is in h1 instead. So it looks like its after the report instead of on top of the report.
Does anyone know how to resolve this please? I would like to see the header on top of the report in cell a1.
Regards,
Hilary

Download to Excel 2000 Functionality

Hi,
I use the "Download to Excel 2000" functionality in OBIEE.
When i see the output in Excel,columns B and C of excel get merged and display the second column in my report
The point here is the first column in the report also has the same property and type as Column 1.but it is displayed properly in Cell A in the excel
Is this an known OBIEE issue?
Can anybody please help in this regard??
Thanks in advance

I think you got it correctly.
I doubt this is Analytics problem - I think it's more of international codepages.
Even if you open the same spreadsheet in a different localized Excel version, you'll see similar results. And then if you save it and open it in original version, it'll be messed up.
