ODBC DSN to Excel File

I have set up an ODBC data source to an Excel spreadsheet. When I point a Crystal Report to the ODBC data source, in the Database Expert window, the only option is "Add Command". What do I need to do so I can select the Worksheet Name rather than Add a Command?

What version of MS Excel you are using?
Did you try the following steps while creating the ODBC connection?
To report off a Microsoft Excel worksheet using ODBC you need to configure both the worksheet and an ODBC DSN as follows:
--In Excel, open the worksheet and highlight all the rows and columns you wish to report off.
--Select 'Insert'/'Name'/'Define'.
--In The 'Names' box, add the name "ExcelTest" (for example). In the 'Refers to' box, it will display the range of rows and columns that you highlighted.
--Click 'OK' and save the worksheet.
--Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator and create a new datasource name (DSN) using the Microsoft Excel (.xls) driver.
--Provide a name for the DSN.
--In the 'Version' dropdown, select Excel 97-2000.
--Click the 'Select Workbook' button and browse to your .xls file.
--Click 'OK' to exit the ODBC Administrator.
--Open Crystal Reports and create a new report.
--In the Database Expert, select 'Create New Connection' and then 'ODBC (RDO)'.
--In the Datasource Selection windowr, click the DSN name you created and then 'Finish'.
Click 'OK' and your DSN will be shown under 'ODBC (RDO)' with the table being the named range.
Create your report as usual.

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

Multiple excel files - ODBC Data Source Administrator

I have about 1750 excel files that I need to convert to text format.
Is it possible to ... configure all files in the ODBC Data Source Administrator window?

If you need these DSNs for Java only, you can define them directly inside the connect string.
Look at these previous topics:

Help! Check data in MS Excel file(JDBC-ODBC)

Hi guys,
I wrote a program that can check data in MS Excel file.
User can input a sentence like "1->2" ,"1->3" (one determine one), then the program can find the data which violate the integrity constrains(functional dependency).For example, if we have the functional dependency "TSeq_gi->TSeq_accver", the program looks for two or more tuples with the same "TSeq_gi" value but the different "TSeq_accver" value in Excel file. These tuples violate the integrity constraint. But now,I can't figure out how to modify this program to multiple determine one. (like 1 3->5 or 1 3 4 5->7) . 1 3 ->5 means: look for 1 and 3 have same value but 5 different. I get stuck. Can some experts help me?
The code and Excel file are in below link. Download and play it! Thank you~~

Problem using excel file as odbc data source

hi, I have followed the instruction in
"Creating a Repository Using the Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool"
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html]
and established a odbc data source using an excel file.
however, I found that the Microsoft Excel Driver always unable to handle complex column formula.
for example,
FILTER(sourceTable$.NoOfItem USING (sourceTable$.Kind = 'Lemon'))
when there are two columns using FILTER, there is an error about the ODBC driver.

How to read Excel file in java

Respected sir/madam
I want to read the values from Excel file in Java program. How can I do that. When I searched over the net I came to know that you can treat Excel file as a Database and write the code as u write for making DB connections .
I did that but i am getting the following error ..can anybody please help..
This is the code what i have written
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ReadExcelFile {
Connection c;
Statement stmnt;
public void checkABA_Number()
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ExcelTest","",""); // ExcelTest is the DSN name
stmnt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery("select * from abadata"); // abadata is my Excel file name
while(rs.next())
System.out.println(rs.getString(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(""+e.toString());
finally
try
stmnt.close();
c.close();
catch( Exception e )
System.err.println( e );
public static void main(String[] args)
new ReadExcelFile().checkABA_Number();
My Excel file starts from the first row and first column and also the first row contains the names of the column.
It give me the following error..
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'abadata'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
How can I deal with this.?I have properly selected the worksheet while giving the DSN . Is there any versionig problem with Excel or some drivers are in appropriate..and yes i chose Microsoft Excel Driver (.xsl) from ODBC .
I created System DSN.
Can anybody please help me with this ? I will be very gratefull for replies
Thanks in advance

here is the code to read excel file
public void readexel(String filename)
Connection c = null;
Statement stmnt = null;
try
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=" + filename);
stmnt = c.createStatement();
String query = "Select * from [Sheet1$]" ;
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery( query );
while( rs.next() )

thanks in advance

You might want to look at the POI project (an open source Jakarta sub-project) that allows you to create/modify/read excel files via Java code. That might be more flexible and easier than what you're currently trying to do.

A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

hi gurus,
Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
FullName = objArgs(I)
FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
objExcel.application.visible=false
objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
objExcel.Application.Quit
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
set objExcelBook = Nothing
Next
Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
Hope this helps.

How to load Excel files into DB on Unix?

Hi folks,
Question>
======================================
Our source db is on HPUX, and we have Excel files transported onto the HPUX via FTP everyday, how can I load the Excel data into the source db with Heterogeneous Services on Unix?
I know that we can do these if the source db is on Windows as that way we can create the System DSN in Windows ODBC Administrator before we configurate HS listener/tnsname.
But in this case, it's on Unix! Is ODBC available on Unix? What shall i do?
Do you have any idea?
Thanks & Have a nice day everyone!

Reverse-engineering excel files in ODI

Hi,
I am currently creating an ODBC Data Source to connect to MS Excel and then reverse-engineering the excel file.Do I need to create separate ODBC Data Source for each excel file or is there any other way to achieve this?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

hi Dev
1. Have you defined the correct link between DSN and your Excel File the answer is yes
2. Have you test the Connection in Topology ?yes and it's OK
3. Also is your Excel file has an Extension of XLS ? yes
4. When reversing have you check the required Technology - Microsoft Excel with required Logical Schema and context Yes i have Microsoft Excel with required Logical Schema and context
and also try checking the Tables and System Tables for reversing .I' can't

Changing the datasource in an excel file

Hi,
we used Oracle ODBC Version 7.3 V2.5 for a lot of Excel sheets. Now we are upgrading to ODBC Version 8.0.5 because the old version makes problems with Windows 2000.
As the datasource is stored in the Excel file I need to know how to change the data source in the Excel file without having to create all the queries from scratch.
Can anyone help me with that problem?
Thanks, Jens

OK. The section
DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};SERVER=fe;UID=scott;;DBQ=fe;DBA=W;APA=T;PFC=1;TLO=O;
is called your connection string. Your Excel script is using this rather than a DSN to specify the driver to use and the parameters for the connection.
If you install the latest Oracle ODBC driver for the 8.0.5 client, I believe that the driver name will need to change to "Oracle ODBC Driver in <name of your Oracle Home>". If you're using an older version of the driver that is not multi-home compliant, the driver name will remain the same. If this is going to be run on a lot of machines, you may want to consider changing to use a DSN rather than specifying the driver name, just in case other people used different Oracle Home names when they were installing. If you set up a DSN named "DSNfe", your connection string would be something like:
DSN=DSNfe;UID=scott;PWD=tiger
The other thing you need to ensure is that you have a tnsnames.ora entry in your 8.0.5 Oracle Home named "fe" that tells your client how to connect to the database.
As a side note, the "SERVER=fe;" option is ignored by the Oracle driver, it's not a valid connection string attribute.

How to load data from MS Excel file

Hello All,
Please help me regarding:
how to load data/ insert records from MS Excel spreadsheet into Oracle table without converting that MS Excel file into CSV.
Thank You in advance.

how to load data/ insert records from MS Excel spreadsheet into Oracle table without converting that MS Excel file into CSV.Setup HS connectivity:
1. Create ODBC SYSTEM DSN using Microsift Excel driver(xls) and select your excel file as workbook.
2. Create file initXLS.ora in %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin directory contailing the following line:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = XLS3. Modify listener.ora file in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin directory and add the following lines to SID_LIST under SID_LIST_LISTENER
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = XLS)
      (ORACLE_HOME = your-oracle-home)
      (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    )4. Modify tnsnames.ora file in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin directory and add the following lines:
XLS =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = XLS)
    (HS=OK)
)5. Restart listener.
6. Create database link (public or private depending on your needs):
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK XLS USING 'XLS';7. Now you are all set. For example my file has:
NAME
SAM
JOEDefault sheet name "Sheet1$" is treated as table name (Since excel is case sensitive you need to use quoted name). First row is treated as column name. And select:
SQL> select * from "Sheet1$"@xls;
NAME
SAM
JOE
SQL> Now if you do not know excel sheet names you can issue (I renamed excel sheet Sheet1$ to Names$):
SQL> select table_name from all_tables@xls;
TABLE_NAME
Names$
Sheet2$
Sheet3$
SQL> select column_name from all_tab_columns@xls where table_name = 'Names$';
COLUMN_NAME
NAME
SQL> SY.

Reading an EXCEL file from Oracle PL/SQL (HP-Unix server)

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
1. Get the EXCEL file from the remote FTP location
2. Read the EXCEL file and convert it into the CSV file format.
3. Put the CSV file into another FTP location.
I need to get all these points done using Oracle PL/SQL procedure.
I am using the Oracle 9i installed in HP-Unix environment.
Please help me in getting this done.

Ok, setting up Excel as an External Database connection....
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMP
But you're limited to Windows based servers for this.
As for converting Excel to CSV and doing it yourself. I hope you know the internal format of MS Excel files cos you're gonna need to know it. It would be far easier if the "user" creating the Excel file could save a copy out in CSV format for you and then it's just a case of FTP'ing the file and using external tables to read the data.

How about Heterogeneous Services so that the Excel sheet is an external database:
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
