Odbc driver for Excel to Excel?

Hi I am looking for an ODBC diver for excel to enable MS Query of Excel files from within, Excel.
I have an ODBC Manager app from openlink, but need a driver fro Excel it seems
(I have struggled with this problem for probably a decade, no one seems to know the answer, so please do dip in if you do.)
It all works perfectly on a PC, but there seem to be issues about who should provide what for OSX, result is nothing is readily available. fro Excel to Excel Queries. The same is true for Pivoty table Get External data.

OSX 10.8.X
Excel 2011

  • Is there ODBC driver for excel flat file in Unix Box

    Hello guys
    I have a question about importing flat file sitting on Unix box into OBIEE. Normally, if the file is somewhere in Windows, I could just use a DSN for text file where I can set the location of the flat file and then be able to import using admin tool.
    However, if the file is sitting on the unix box, I wouldn't be able to define the path using that DSN driver since the location of the file doesnt belong to C: drive or E: drive like it does in Windows.
    So in this case, how would i be able to proceed? What third party ODBC could I use for flat file in Unix? Also, there is a file called ODBC.INI in Unix OBIEE directory, do I have to modify the content of that file too? If so how would I do it in order to be able to import flat file from Unix using Admin tool?
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks

    You'd need to export the Excel file to CSV or something like that, and then read it in from there.
    Thanks rnm.
    I am more curious about what you said above.. Could you explain a little more?
    Do you mean changing the flat file into CSV format? If so, the flat would still be in Unix location after the changing right? Or am I not understanding you completely?
    Thanks and please advice
    Cheers

  • ODBC Driver for Rdb / OUI Response file

    I want to make a 'silent' install for the new ODBC driver for
    Rdb v3.0.1.3, which uses the Oracle Universal Installer, but the
    download does not include a response file template. Not knowing
    anything about internal names etc., I cannot create one from
    scratch.
    Does anyone have such a template or a response file they have
    already created?
    thanks

  • Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax

    Hi,
      This is Sathish, I am trying to create a report and retrieve data through stored procedure using ODBC Connection. When connecting to the Stored Procedure it is showing Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax error or access violation' Error.
    CRXI R2, Oracle 9i.

    Regards,

    Hi Satish
    It could be an issue with the driver.
    You can try with the OLEDB n Oracle native connection to test if the issue persists.
    Also you can refer to the [Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e&overridelayout=true]

  • ODBC Driver for 64 bit not visible

    Hello, I have installed the instant client for odbc followed by the odbc driver for 10.2 (64-bit). However, when I look for the odbc drivers only the default SQL driver shows up. Am I missing something?

    Hi,
    Can you please specify the version of operating system along with the bit version.
    Also, specify the path of ODBC data source administrator (odbcad32.exe).
    thanks and regards

  • Oracle 8i/9i ODBC driver for ARM-Linux

    I may need an ODBC driver for Oracle
    for the arm-linux platform in the near
    future. Does anyone know if such a thing
    exists and where to get it?
    Michael

    Oracle doesn't produce such a beast. The main problem in doing so is that Microsoft provides a lot of the infrastructure for ODBC on Windows only. In order to use ODBC on another platform, you have to port that infrastructure, which Oracle isn't likely to do.
    You might try Merant or <http://www.unixodbc.com>, both of which provide third-party drivers that might be appropriate for you.

  • ODBC driver for Win Server 2008 64-bit.

    I need help with installing the ODBC driver for Win 2008 64-bit. I'm not really familiar with Oracle products but anyway I was asked to install the driver. I downloaded Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.7.20 which includes the Oracle ODBC Driver 11.1.0.7.0 from this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html. I only needed the ODBC driver so that's what I selected during installation (plus one other required component). The installation was successful but when I go into ODBC admin to add a new data source I don't see the Oracle driver. I probably downloaded the wrong software. Can someone point me to the right direction? Thanks.

    I need to install the developer suite first in order to get tnsnames and sql plusThat's wrong, you need to install the correct client:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10203vista-087538.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html
    Note: If you have Windows 2008 R2, you need patchset 10.2.0.5, which is only available from MOS/metalink.

  • Result Sets with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle

    Howdy all.
    I have an Oracle database that I have migrated from MSSQL2K. My front end is mostly VB, and I have many (hundreds) DLL's that use ADO to access the database and execute stored procedures in the database. I cannot seem to get result sets from the Oracle procedures. I have tried passing a SYS_REFCURSOR as an IN OUT parameter, and I have tried returning a SYS_REFCURSOR in a function. The Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle does not seem to handle the ref cursors. If I use the Oracle ODBC driver, then ref cursors are handled sort of magically. Just like the result sets are in MSSQL with the SQL Server ODBC Driver.
    The question that I would like to pose to anybody willing to answer is this: Is there any way to use the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle without changing the way I do the database access (using ADO connection/command/recordset objects)? I need the same DLL's to work on top of both MSSQL and Oracle.
    I know that what I want to do is possible using the Oracle ODBC driver, but this will take some major changes to some of my DB components. I am trying to stay away from this, but it looks like I am going to have to go that route - that is unless somebody wows me with a good answer to this post.

    As you are using Microsoft driver which works in XP and does not on Win 2003 you should post this on microsoft forum.

  • Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb 2.10.11.00 on  Windows 2008 64-bit

    Hello,
    Our application runs on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and connects to RDB databases on Alpha Open/VMS via Oracle ODBC Driver fro Rdb release 2.10.11.00.
    We are migrating to Windows Server 2008 64-bit environment.
    We tested both recent Rdb ODBC driver releases (3.3.0.0 and 3.3.1.0) but we are getting errors intermittently when the application loads data from certain tables. Trace logs show no errors which could indicate the origin of the issue.
    We want to use the old (2.10.11.00) release but it cannot be installed only on the Win 2008 32-bit version.
    Can anyone suggest how to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb release 2.10.11.00 on a Windows 2008 64-bit Server?
    Thanks in advance,
