Opening Excel file now shows column type in field value...

Just in the last 2 weeks, excel files that have fields set as 'General' are now displaying the word 'General' in the field. If you change it to another type (i.e. number or text) then it just displays the value. The file is originally created in OpenOffice and saved as an MS Excel file and works fine being opened in Excel on Micorsoft. It only has this problem on the iPhone and just started in the last 2 weeks. Any ideas?

Hi Vijay,
Just go through with this thread may be it will help you......
Are You All Able to get the Output In EXCEL Format

  • Create Excel file in application server but the field value is incorrect

    Hi Experts,
    i am facing a problem when create excel file in application server using OPEN DATASET command.
    the internal table have 4 field and one of those field contains 19 digit number --> ICCID.
    the code running well, successfully create EXCELfile in application server but the problem is SAP only copy exactly first 15 digit numeric only and the rest became zero 0
    Example :
    the field value in internal table is 8962118800000447654 but when i opened in the excel file the value became 8962118800000440000.
    and if i add alphabet like a8962118800000447654 then it is correct.
    is there is anything wrong with my code?
    here is my code
    CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE abap_char1 VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab. "Tab Char
    Data : begin of lt_zdsdmmdt00005 occurs 0,

    Hello,
    Perhaps this will help. Open an Excel file, select a sheet, range then set a value, save then close. The idea here is not to write or save but demo a few basic operations.
    Also note 'as is' all memory is cleaned up without resorting to what many do, force the garbage collector. This is important if objects are not cleaned up it is very possible in extreme cases to bring a machine down so one should ensure all objects are cleaned
    up which only comes from well written code be it C# or VB.NET

  • Cannot open Excel files on Windows share and ONLY Excel files

    I'm browsing a Windows share and for whatever reason it will not let me open Excel files directly from the network location. If I view the Coverflow, I can see a a preview of the actual file as well as copy it to the desktop and open it.
    I receive an error message that says "filename.xls could not be found."
    I can open up any other file from the network location, but not Excel files.
    I checked the file permissions and they mirror the other file types, it may be worth mentioning that I utilize network synchronization and view these files from a PC as well. I also noticed when I create a new file in that location, it will only appear in OS X and not Windows, but is still completely accessible.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Problem opening excel files exported from Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18

    I can't open excel files (xls) exported from Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18 when I enable macros. The application (Excel) hangs up.
    Someone have any idea about this?
    Thanks,
    Diego

    Hi Meifang
    I did some more research and found a document on MetaLink 250820.1 that talks about Discoverer not being able to call Excel if Discoverer is running via an IP address instead of a qualified domain name.
    The article talks about making Discoverer a trusted site in the Internet Options of IE. Here's the relevant info from the posting:
    Workaround for MS IE (if necessary):
    1. Open a new MS IE browser
    2. Navigate to: Tools | Internet Options Security where you will see the Trusted Sites icon (green icon with a check mark)
    3. Click the Sites button
    4. Add the following: http://IP:port/
    (where IP, port are the location of where Discoverer server is running)
    5. Click the OK button
    6. Click the OK button again
    On my own PC, I was having a similar problem and I was unable to get Excel to launch. In the end I did this:
    1. Open a new MS IE browser
    2. Navigate to: Tools | Internet Options | Security where you will see the Local Intranet icon (computer icon against a globe)
    3. Click the Local Intranet button
    4. Click the Sites button
    5. Click the Advanced button
    6. Add the following: http://IP/ or http://website
    (where IP or website are the location of where Discoverer server is running)
    7. Click the Add button
    8. Click the OK button
    9. Click the OK button again
    10. Click the OK button a third time
    With this done, I made sure that my Explorer settings were correct by doing the following to ensure that a couple of settings for the .xls & .html file types are unchecked:
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Navigate to: Tools | Folder Options | File Types tab
    3. Highlight the Extension XLS (or HTML)
    4. Click the Advanced button
    5. At the botton of the screen are three settings that use checkboxes. If either of the following two are checked, un-check them:
    Confirm Open after Download and Browse in same window
    6. Click the OK button
    7. Click the Apply button
    8. Re-boot the PC
    After I did this I was successfully able to get Excel to open from within Discoverer.
    Best wishes

  • Possible cause of "Cannot open Excel file error"?

    Hi!
    Here's my problem: one of our LabView applications creates .xls Excel
    files.  However some of these files are too big to be opened into
    Excel, so we need to open these files in DIAdem to analyse the data (in
    fact, even the smaller ones often need to be analysed in DIAdem). 
    The problem is that DIAdem seems totally unable to open Excel files,
    small or big, created by our LabView application or not.  The
    error message appearing when we try to import Excel files is "Cannot
    open Excel file"... which doesn't give any clue about the cause of the
    error.   My question is: what may cause this error to
    occur?  I searched both the help and the website without finding
    useful information.
    The computer is running on WinXP with OfficeXP installed, and we are
    using DIAdem 9.0.  If additionnal information is required, just
    let me know.
    Thanks in advance!
    Maxime B.

    Hi!
    I did some experiments this morning.  First of all, the file I had
    created using Excel that I tried to open yesterday just opened.  I
    don't know why it didn't work yesterday, but, for now, it's
    working.  Now, for my LabView-created files, I still get the same
    error message.  However, if I open the files in Excel and try to
    save, a warning message appears, saying that the file may not be
    compatible with the text (separator:tabulation) format.  If I
    ignore the warning and save the file as a .xls file, I can now import
    it into DIAdem.  The problem is probably that my LabView-created
    files are not "real" .xls files.  Now, this is a problem, because
    I can't open some of the bigger files in Excel without having the data
    truncated (Excel has a maximum of 65536 rows); last year, using DIAdem
    8.X (I don't remember the exact version we had), I could open those
    files without any trouble... Is there any way to get those files to be
    opened with DIAdem 9.0?  I attached one of those files if it may help.
    Thanks!

  • How to list all currently open Excel files with ActiveX?

    Hello all!
    I would like to program with ActiveX a way to retrieve a list (array of strings) of the filenames of the currently opened Excel files in windows. However, I am fairly new to the ActiveX/Excel business in LV and after hours looking at the "millions" of objects in the property nodes I give up and hope some kind soul here can help me. I couldn't find any information in this forum regarding the same issue, although some were close
    I am using LV 7.1 without the Report Generation Toolkit.
    Thanks!
    /Goran

    Hi KC,
    thanks for your reply. I have in fact been able to find the desired things in the ActiveX properties/methods for Excel in LabView. It took me some looong work going through the functions which I suspected to be the ones. Anyway, I post a little jpeg here of the code if someone ever needs the same functionality. What it does is that it checks how many Excel workbooks are open and controls if each of them matches the searched Excel filename, if one does, it is closed.
    Enjoy

  • Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

    I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
    a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
    This affects less than 5 people in a large company.  They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously.  There has been no changes made to the server either.  I can't find anything that points to this in the
    event viewer. 
    It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.   
    I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

    I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
    Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
    Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
    Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
    Can they open other excel files?
    It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
    If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
    SharePoint has issues ;)

  • Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

    I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
    If I click Try again I get the message below also:
    If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Hi Shaun,
    I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
    Can these files be viewed in the browser?
    I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
    If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
    Best regards.
