OFFICE_CONTROL Excel embedded

Hi,
I am trying to program embedded Excel on the WebDynpro ABAP window.
I programmed it as in an example, but the result is that a square with "X" sign occurs
and nothing more - in Internet Explorer. In Firefox I install unsigned certificate as an exception,
but Excel is not shown either, just a black square.
What should I check first to get it working?
Here is a screenshot:

Thank you!

Hi Antoine,
>> The best approach for me is to use the Restfull API for Excel that will permit me to manipulate range, cells, worksheet within my application.
I’m not sure if I understand your question correctly. But if you want to manipulate the Excel document only, I will suggest you using OpenXML SDK, especially for the server side automation.
Considerations for server-side Automation of Office
>> What is the best way to communicate with Excel within a desktop application, to have both visualization, and edition?
For the Office desktop side automation, I recommend you using the Excel Object Model (Office Interop).
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel namespace
Hope it will help.

Sql server reporting services + export to excel + embedded images

Hi all,
i got a problem when exporting to excel in ssrs 2008.
i use embedded image in the report. but when i export the report to excel, image is being exported but its width is being changed to size 0 .
but when i click on it and expand it explicitly in excel it is being expanded .
how to make the image by default to its actual width?
how to fix this problem ?

Hi sudeep Puvvadi,
Based on the information posted, I have a test with SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (SSRS2008) and Microsoft
Excel 2010 by the following steps:
From the Toolbox window, drag the image to the top edge of the design surface.
In the image Properties dialog box, select Embedded from the Select The Image Source drop-down list.
Click import, and select a BMP file from my local computer.
Right-click the image, select Image Properties. In Size category, select Original size.
Export the report to excel.
When opening the excel file, the image displays with original size rightly. So I suggest you to add an image with
the same steps above, then checking whether the image shows correctly. If it still cannot work fine for you, could you please give me a feedback and tell me related settings, so that I can reproduce the scenario exactly and provide further assistance?
Thanks,
Lola Wang

Excel embedded spreadsheet and form submit

Hi guys,
I've tried looking at forums everywhere to no avail on this answer, so was wondering if anyone could help.
PART 1
The solution I'm looking for is to create a simple HTML form that when they click submit, will export a text file of the fields in our network.
That I've got a solution for already.
PART 2
However, I wanted the form to be display only and for the user to fill out the details in the interactive spreadsheet instead.
When they fill out the interactive spreadsheet, it will fill out the HTML form, if that makes sense.
http://blogs.office.com/2011/02/25/updated-interactive-excel-files-on-web-pages-an-excel-pm-explains
I've been looking at this interactive spreadsheet example which is exactly what I want for PART 2, but just don't know how to combine the solutions together.
Thanks!

Hi,
What is the “form” that you want to be displayed? VBA UserForms in Excel?
As far as I know, VBA UserForms created in Visual Basic Editor can’t show in Web Page.

Why doesn't LR let us use embedded/standard previews (at least optionally)?

I bought LR but cannot commit to using it mainly because it is too slow importing and browsing previews but also because LR's previews are worse than the embedded previews in RAW images or JPGs as displayed by other standard programs like Photo Mechanic, Breeze Browser or ADCSee.
I shoot Canon RAW (then convert the CR2s to DNG) and occasionally JPG (1DMkII) but I get hundreds of images from friends and family, mostly JPG, taken with many different cameras. The vast majority of these pictures look terrific in PM, BB or ACDSee, etc but they look significantly worse in LR. LR renders its own previews from RAW files instead of using the excellent embedded preview that's already there and LR also somehow changes the JPG preview so that it looks bland and off color in comparison to the same image viewed in PM, ACDC or BB on the same computer. I assume LR's color management or color space is what changes the previews (and thumbs) so they look different (bad) in LR than they look in other standard programs.
Why can't we at least have the option of using embedded previews in LR and display them normally like PM, BB and ACDC. Then LR would be fast (like PM, BB and ACDC) importing and displaying previews and we would not have to fiddle with exposure or color adjustments to get decent previews. Yes, I can get LR to just about match (sometimes exceed) the image quality of other programs but only with massive fiddling with individual images (the camera calibration controls are not sufficient by themselves) and that is a massive pain in the butt.
I, of course, have read many posts about color management. But I refuse to buy expensive color calibration tools and go through that expense and aggravation just to accommodate LR. My pictures already look great in PM, BB, ACDSee and web browsers and on other non-color managed computers. I think LR should be able to be operated in a standard manner so it is consistent with other standard software. The fact is that the vast majority of all amateur photographers, even pretty serious folks, do not hassle with color management because standard software displays very nice images already.
Another point. Some folks like to use Canon or Nikon or other RAW converters instead of Adobe's (for all or some images). If they develop their RAWS in DPP or Capture NX, etc, then import the images into LR, LR renders its own previews which disregard the work done in the 3rd party converter. This is pretty annoying and virtually prevents such folks from using LR. Other programs that use the embedded previews display the adjustments made in 3rd party RAW converters very nicely.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I could not respond sooner.
Nobody addressed my question. Why is there no option in LR to use embedded previews in RAW files and why is there no option to display JPG previews in a standard color space, presumably sRGB, like other standard software - Photo Mechanic, Breeze Browser, ACDSee, etc, etc?
LR's insistence on rendering previews from RAW files makes the program too slow and it forces users to diddle with settings to get previews that look normal - meaning match what 99% of the rest of the world sees on normal non-color managed computer screens. Folks who want rendered previews and non-standard color space (ProPhoto) and all the rest of us who just want standard previews by default should both be accommodated. Just give us the option to choose.
I just downloaded IDImager, a competing database type DAM program, for a trial. It does give users the option to use embedded previews for fast import and display or it will render previews from RAW if you choose that option. So it can be done and an embedded preview choice makes the program much faster and easier for most people to use.
Just a few comments about the replies:
Lee Jay said LR doesn't use embedded previews because:
"Correct...that's because it's a RAW converter and must display what you'd get from a RAW conversion."
Well, with respect, I cannot agree. First, LR is not just a RAW converter, its much more. If it was that limited, I never would have bought it and neither would anybody else. I already have ACR in Photoshop. Second, it is not mandatory that LR render previews from RAWs. It could optionally use embedded previews if that option was offered. Why do some folks lobby for lack of flexibility? I bet even you naysayers would use embedded previews sometimes, like when you want speed to show pictures to your family, friends and don't need to fester over image adjustments.
Lee Jay also said regarding the difference between my JPG previews in LR vs. other standard software:
"That is likely the fault of your monitor profile, which LR uses and the other programs (probably) don't. It could also be caused by you having "automatically apply auto tone" set, or by applying a preset on import."
No, it LR's fault, period. Every other program I have ever used displays my pictures just fine (Photo Mechanic, Breeze Browser, ADCSee, etc, etc, even Windows free Picture and Fax Viewer works fine. Yes, I can diddle with LR's settings and get nice previews but I don't want to diddle with every image. And it ain't my monitor profile - I can delete it or change it and the issue remains. LR makes different previews from standard software because it renders previews from RAW data and uses a non-standard color space. Camera calibration (or presets) is not a reasonable solution for everybody. I have several cameras, my kids have many different cameras, friends have different cameras and I get images from all these people - so I have a ton of very different images in different lighting and I am not about to setup numerous different calibrations or presets to see previews in LR when I get excellent previews from other standard software that uses embedded previews and produces great previews with no work whatsoever. All I am suggesting is the option to use embedded previews and a standard color space. Again I must ask why do some folks argue for lack of flexibility?
John McWilliams said about LR's power:
"The neat thing is you can make the image look just about anyway you want without loss of quality."
I could not agree more - LR is a good program! But, I don't want to diddle with every image. Most of them are fine, in fact, terrific right out of the camera. I just want to see them faster and I want them to match what other people see on standard non-color managed computers. If PM, BB, ACDSee and others can do it, so can LR.
David Edwards said:
"The images that I want to see in the Library section are RAW images with all the adjustments I have made to them and certainly not the embedded JPGs. If I wanted to see those I would have shot JPG."
This is fine and no doubt makes perfect sense for David's workflow. But, why advocate against an option to use embedded previews for those who would find that useful? I too shoot only RAW with my DSLR cameras because I want the best images and the ability to use all of LR's (or DPPs) conversion powers when appropriate. But, as I said above, the vast majority of my embedded previews are good enough right out of the camera as viewed in PM, BB or ACDSee so I don't need to make any adjustments. :) Only LR creates a problem my rendering less than desirable previews by default. I also want to note that embedded previews do, in fact, display all changes made in LR and I cannot tell any difference in quality on screen between embedded previews and rendered previews when I adjust the LR version to match the default embedded preview and compare them side-by-side in LR and PM, for example.
David also asked:
"Do you need a RAW converter or an application to display images?"
Both. Preferably in the same program. LR is supposed to be an all-in-one solution. It certainly will be when it gets more mature, I hope. I am a amateur so my main need is to see my pictures. I like them and enjoy them but LR is too slow importing and displaying thumbs and previews in Library mode and its previews usually need adjustment. So right now I am forced to use PM, BB or ACDSee all of which are way faster importing and browsing images and they use embedded previews that are fine, even excellent, by default.
I think Adobe is missing out on a significant number of potential users because LR does not provide the options I am requesting. I am certainly not the only person who wants faster importing and browsing and previews that look good by default. And, as I mentioned before, folks who use other RAW converters are also excluded since they cannot see the changes they make before importing images into LR because LR will not display embedded previews.

Exporting SAP report to Excel 2003 - cannot use Excel icon

Good morning folks
We have recently installed Excel 2003 and since then we are unable to export reports from SAP (eg ad hoc query) directly into Excel by clicking on the Excel icon - a blank Excel screen is displayed. Any assistance please.
We are still able to export to Excel by clicking on the Print Preview icon and then clicking on the Excel icon.
many thanks
Dawn

My users misled me! They were not exporting directly to Excel at all but instead to Excel embedded in the SAP Gui! I have managed to get them to do this again by changing the security settings on Excel as follows: Tools > Macro > security settings - changed from Low to Medium and ticked both boxes in Trusted Publishers.

Xcelsius 2008 doesn't support excel links?

I'm building a dashboard with Xcelsius 2008 and my Excel sheet which I imported has a number of links to other Excel files - that is how the values are updated, from other Excel sheets. After adding a collumn graph component and setting it up appropriately, no collumns would show in preview mode. I added a speadsheet table component to see what was going on and all values are 0, that is why no collumns are showing. The values do, however, appear in the spreadsheet when in design mode as I wish they would in preview mode. I tried to export it and exporting yields the same results as preview mode.
I'm impressed because Crystal Xcelsius 4.5, which I had been using up to now, supports links in imported Excel files with no problems.
Is there any way to make Xcelsius 2008 honor the values as they should be, rather than setting all values taken from links to 0?
Thank you for your responses.

Hi:
   1. Do you mean, excel embeded another excel file using "Data->Import External Data->Import Data" then choose "excel file"? From my side, i try this scenairo and the chart can present the mapped data properly. (may be my model is to simiple...)
   2. For your excel links, I am not sure where the problem is, but I am suggest that, you can build your standalone excel sheet with excel mapping first, then import the excel file to Xcelsius, in this cases, we can distinguish whether the problem comes from excel feature itself or Xcelisus integration with Excel.
   3. I also think about the cases you are using, may be you have multiple individual spreadsheets, and want to embeded into one excel file which will be used in xcelsius, also, when the data change in the sub excel sheets, the main excel sheets should also be updated accordingly. (Please correct me if there is sth wrong)
   But for excel links you are using, I saw some limitation:
   a) when you open the main excel sheet, the sub excel sheet will be "read only", so that user can not modify the sub sheet at the same time.
   b) when preview, or export to swf file, you can not update the excel links at run time when mapped excel file changes, there is no update option for excel links as far as i know.
   So, to meet the scenario, you can use Data connection feature called "Excel XML Map":
   The detail steps is similar with excel links, the differences is you are going to map xml file to excel range. (if you have already have a number spreedsheet in your hand, you can first save the spread sheet as xml format, then map the xml file to main excel). In this case, when user modify the xml file and save, you can refresh the mian excel file to get the updates at any time, also Xcelsius data connection provide connection called "Excel XML Map" so you can also refresh the maps at preview time and run time.
Hope it helps.

How to refresh .swf file whose source data is only using "EXCEL"

Can Some one help me out with this please.........
I developed a dashboard using excel (embedded in xcelsius 2008) and then exported it to .swf file.
Now when the data changes in .xlf file. I want my swf file to refresh the data.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
 Read the below instructions extracted from KB Article 1424833 and see if it helps
XML files need to be designed in a specific structure in order to work correctly in Xcelsius 2008. Below are some important conventions:-
1) The XML code should start and end with data tag like <data>...</data>.
2) Row and column tags must be used to encapsulate data.
3) Everything is case sensitive.
4) While inserting a range in XML data connection, the range name should be similar to the variable name defined in the XML code.
The xml code should look like this:-
<data>
<variable name="ExampleRange">
<row>
<column> Row1 Column1 value </column>
<column> Row1 Column2 value </column>
<column> Row1 Column3 value </column>
</row>
</variable>
</data>
In Xcelsius, we have to give range name=ExampleRange and then assign the Excel cell to load the data.

Ken

HELP!! Generatign excel spread sheet usingJSP

Hi!
I am trying to generate and excel speadsheet using this
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
But this fail to wokr most of the time in IE6/IE5
Is there any other way I can generate a excel spreadsheet using JSP and A sample code/example woudl really be helpfull.
Thanks

<%@ page contentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<%response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");%>
After this will work, but at least in IE 6, will open excell embedded in the explorer window. If you want to generate an excel file they can dl, just pull your database info and generate a COmma Separated Values file. It is just as it sounds...
Heading1,Heading2,Heading3,Heading4
val1,val2,val3,val4
,val2,val3,val4
,,val3,val4
val1,val2,,val4
Note that you don't have to have a value for each string, as long as it is comma delimited. Excel will recognize the csv format and open the file as a spreadsheet. I currently use this technique with a tutorial on mail merges so the csv can be used as a datasource for the merge. For more info/a copy of a file that demos this,

Excel 2007-SAP Copy & Paste Issue

I'm not sure this is the correct forum so if it needs to be moved please let me know.
I am not a programmer, but we have a custom transaction that allows financial personnel to copy rows (sometimes tens of thousands) of data from Excel into SAP - which has the Office Integration tool excel embedded in the screen. Sometimes the user may have one or several different Excel 2007 windows open and one more SAP client windows open. Both SAP and Excel will periodically "lock up" or "freeze" after either one or several copy and paste functions. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. The only common theme I can gather is it only happens in Excel 2007 and not Excel 2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Other Info:
Using SAP Gui 710 Patch Level 13
All PC's have at least the minimum required to run Office and SAP if not more in most cases.

Hi Cindy,
I am getting some problems in copying text from crm web ui portal to excel 2007. I am not sure about this, as it is SAP related problem or with windows 7.
Earlier we were using Windows XP but now after windows 7 we are getting this problem and its not only for web ui, but I copied some text from SAP marketplace into excel2007 and it shows popup which asks for credetials, even if you give your all possible credentials it doesnt work and you have to kill the Excel from task manager.
Can you please guide me in this.
I m not sure whether I m on right forum or not. Please reply.
Thanks

Word 2007 to Acrobat 8.1.1 Conversion

I have a User Who has been trying to Print to PDF various word documents ( Word 2007 which were originally Word 2003) that have Excel ( Originally 2003, but I ASSUME get converted to 2007) Embeds.
The Problem is that where-ever the Excel embed in Word 2007 is( After printing to PDF), the PDF is Black.
I checked the Excel embeds, and no Links to outside files have been made ( I thought that the Black was caused by the PDF file not finding any link).
Anyways, in both Standard and Pro Testing of this Issue, using the 8.1.1 versions of Acrobat, I then Click on Examine Document, and "Metadata", "Hidden text" and "Deleted hidden Page and Image context" are checked.
I then Click on Preview, and I was amazed to see that the Excel embeds had indeed converted over, but as hidden text.
If I change the Radio button in Preview to "Show Both Hidden and Visible Text", then it shows the full document in preview.
My hope is that I can somehow setup Adobe Acrobat, and/or Word so that the Hidden elements will display. Most of the users who need this to work don't have a whole lot of patience with too many "steps".
Any advice or help is appreciated.

I have the same problem. When I convert a Word 2007 which has Excel 2007 embeds to pdf, the Excel embeds show up as a black patch. I am using Vista 64 bit and Office 2007 with Acrobat 8.1.1 and the same thing happens on my laptop on which i have Vista 32 bit, Office 2007, and Acrobat 8.1.1. However, on the XPSP3 machines, with Office 2007 documents and Microsoft converter to pdf i do not have a problem. Any help is appreciated.

WinGUI vs. SAPGUI for Windows.

Hi,
the terms "WinGUI" and "SAPGUI for Windows" are frequently used as synonyms in these forums, yet they seem to be different.
When I start a "WinGUI"-based iView in my Portal (EP6) in a separate window, what I see is definitely not "SAPGUI for Windows" (the Win32 application, that we all know), but rather another instance of my browser (MS internet explorer) with "something" that looks quite similar to "SAPGUI for Windows".
So, that is "WinGUI" then? is it a java applet? a component that comes with ITS? another "trick" running SAPGUI in a web browser window?
If I use the "View/Source code" menu command in IE on that "WinGUI" window, I don't see anything. Usually, notepad would open and display the HTML source code of the current page. Not so with "WinGUI"
Puzzled.
Does anyone know what the difference is?
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
There are three types of GUI.
Win Gui or SAP Gui: Win32 Fat client
SAP Web Gui: Gui via ITS
SAP Java Gui: Gui that uses java render fat client
What you are seeing is Win Gui or SAP Gui running inside internet explorer. Kind of like Acrobrat reader, microsoft excel embedded withing IE. You can make the win Gui popup outside the IE by changing the iview properties to SSF.

Can not open Excel 2003 embedded worksheet in Office 2010

I have seen many similar issues to this but I think I have some unique factors that are making my issue a bit tougher to resolve. I have a user who has a word doc which he opens in Word 2010. This doc has several embedded excel sheets. When he tries to click
one of these embedded excel sheets to edit he gets an error: "the program used to create this object is excel the program is not installed on your computer". It will give an option to repair which we have tried but it makes no difference.
Some things to note that I think makes this case more unique than others I have googled.
This seems to be the case only with embedded excel 2003 spreedsheets. He can open newer excel 2010 spreedsheets that more more recently added to the file.
He previously had Office 2013 which we had to uninstall, and put Office 2010 on. This was done because of a piece of software this company uses that was not compatible with office 2013. (Personally I think this may be where the problem is as there seem to
be remnants of Office 15 in the registry.)
I have tried the standard fixes of Disabling the Com add-ins, running office repair, and trying to Convert the embedded spreedsheet to an Excel Binary. The convert failed and gave me a generic error about possibly not being allowed to save to the location
or needing more memory or space but none of these are the case.
I have not yet tried to uninstall office 2010 and reinstall and I am hoping that I won't have to. This issue just seems odd to me. Other users can edit these embedded spreedsheets fine which is why I think it has something to do with the fact that he downgraded
from 2013 to 2010.
Anyone of thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
I noticed that use newer excel 2010
spreadsheets that more more recently added to the file. Did you try to embed the Excel 2010 file to Word 2010 test? If it works fine, I suppose that it was a compatibility issue.
Because Excel 2010 had change the file format with Excel 2003.
I recommend you try to install Office 2010 sp2 and compatibility pack.

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Is there any way to get the PivotTable Field List to appear in an embedded Excel Web Apps spreadsheet?

The PivotTable Field List shows up fine when using Excel Web Apps normally. It doesn't appear to be accesible via the javascript API and the main
Excel Web App cannot be embeded in a frame. Any ideas?

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Excel, this issue is more related to Excel Web app develop. I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Word doc with embedded Excel spreadsheet

I have a Word (2010) doc in which I have embedded Excel (2010) spreadsheets. We cannot open the spreadsheets after I convert the doc to pdf. Is there a step I'm missing, or is this not possible? Thanks

Content of the embedded object in a Microsoft Office application does not come over to PDF.
Basically PDF, being a completely different file format / technology from the MS applications' format(s)/technology, does not support this feature.
You can create a PDF from Word that has not embedded objects.
Now, with the PDF open in Acrobat you can attach the Excel files.
Be well...
