PDFMaker issue with Excel

I'm experiencing an issue with PDFMaker when converting an Excel 2003 document. I have an image that is in the header of the Excel document. When I print in Excel it looks fine, but when I covert it to PDF it is much smaller. This seems to only happen when the Excel document is in "print to fit" mode. Does anyone have a fix?

Hi,
Typically, "print to fit" scales content.
Scaling an image at a value less than 100% will increase the image's effective resolution while reducing its size (x-y dimensions).
If the image must be of the original dimensions then avoiding "print to fit" may be called for.
Something worth a look over when output to PDF is from content having images.
Go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the Category "Convert to PDF".
Scroll through the supported file formats.
See it what you are using is listed. Select it. Often, there is a Edit button that can be used to configure the conversion to PDF.
Such things as downsampling and compression for black/white - gray scale - color.
Be well...

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

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

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.

Issue with Excel Attachement in BI 7.0

Hi,
I have developed a custom report to send an e-mail with excel attachment in BI 7.0. When we are trying to open the excel sheet attachment in the e-mail. I am getting a message warning message stating that<b> 'This file is not in a recognizable format'</b>. but if we click on ok button then everything looks fine i.e the data is displaying as expected.
I have developed the same reports in SAP R/3 and SRM but I don't see any issues over there.
Can any one help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat Bomma

When the selection screen pops up choose the KEY only function on the TOOLS on the top right corner of the screen. Then you will be able to enter the values manually.
Hope this helps.

Issue with Excel data-chains via SharePoint

I'm having issues with a coulpe of Excel (2010) data-chains through SharePoint at my work. When i set up a chain it shows for instance [Sheet2.xlsx] and fetches data just fine. But when I close and re-open the sheets, the chain code is changed to the
entire http-adress, such as "http://company.com/controlling/[Sheet2.xlsx], and gives a VALUE-error instead of fetching the data.
Is my problem connected to Excel or Sharepoint? And what can i do to make the chains work?
Thanks in advance, and please excuse if some of the mentioned terms are inaccurate. I use Excel in my native language (danish), but the Danish community in here is not very large :)

Hi,
Are you using some formula(Such as Vlookup) to link the Excel date which shored in the SharePoint?
If it is, we may try to use the full URL in the formula. Here are some samples, we may refer to:

Issue with excel email attachment after upgrade

Hi ,
We have recently upgraded from ECC 5.0 non-unicode to ECC 6.0 unicode version.
An existing program converts the data in an internal table into HTML code and then sends this as an email attachment(XLS format) using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
Now if the mail attachment is sent from the non-unicode system , excel converts the HTML code and shows the data perfectly but when i open the mail attachment from the unicode system, the HTML code sits in a cell of the excel and therefore data is not visible.If i wish to see the data, i will have to cut the data from the cell and paste it .
I anticipate that this is because of some issue with the unicode.
Your inputs towards the issue resolution are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Avanish Joshi

I found the note 1151258 and as mentioned in it, i used the BCS class for sending excel attachments and it worked.
My sincere apologies for not replying to those who posted queries to this question.
Thanks.

Issues with Excel for Mac

Howdy.
I am currently running excel on 10.5. The version i am using is 12.0(071130) .
Its an intermittant issues whereby Excel will rnadomly crash when asked to copy and paste. My first instinct is to update but when i tried to download the installers for the 12.1 and the 12.9 updates , they won't install on my hard drive. I get an exclamation mark on my hard drive when going through the installer.
I think the copy and paste issue can be sorted by the update, but how do i do the update needed.
I tried running the microsoft updater through excel but it just hangs and hangs.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with the exclamation mark. I solved it by re-installing Office from the original disks and re-starting the computer. It seems that one of the main files must have been missing in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder. I now have 8 items in there after the update to 12.1.9.

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.

Weird File Locking Issue with Excel 2013

We are experiencing a strange issue whereby we are frequently unable to save Excel files; whilst working on a document a user will select Save As, change the name of the document and attempt to save, a 0KB file is created in the location and an error returned
to the user stating that the file is in use by another user. At this point it is normally possible to save but on occasion this has also failed. It is possible to duplicate the issue on multiple machines.
The user has Full control over the destination directory, both share & NTFS.
File Server is running Windows Server Essentials 2012R2.
The Users desktops are running Windows 7 sp1, all available Windows Updates have been applied.
They have an Office 2013 Small Business Premium subscription, two of the users have a full msi based installation of Office and one the Click-to-Run version.
They use Eset Endpoint Antivirus and Eset File Security on the server, the problem can be duplicated with both client & server antivirus disabled.
Have disabled power saving on client & server network cards.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Hi,
As far as I know, if one user had opened or edited one file in File Server, the other users only could be open the file read-only. It could not be saved or other behavior.I would suggest the following:
Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items.
This is a problem that has been reported to affect Windows 7 clients only, not Windows XP. The problem here may have something to do with the Windows Explorer in Windows 7. We are currently investigating this further and will post more information as it
is available.
In a Windows Explorer window, do the following:
1. Right click on the Start Button.
2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
3. At the top left click Organize > Layout
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to
“Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.

use a shared workbook to collaborate in Excel.

Vertical Scroll issue with Excel 2013

okay before i start this is NOT!! a fixed pane issue. checked and double checked
i have a user who when scroll's the main view does not scroll, until you lift of the mouse button.
as you click on the scroll bar, you get the number up displaying what Line you are on as you
scroll this changes, but the view does not.
scrolling with scroll lock on, using keys, and using the mouse wheel all work fine, just the
scroll bar has this issue.
i cant seen to find any options within excel or windows.
anyone on here have any suggestions?
just to add, the user is able to log onto multiple machines and the issue follows this user,
but when another user logs onto the same machine the problem does not occur on that user, so I think it is a profile specific issue, would like to sort this out without deleted the user's profile

Hi Zikofski,
According to your description, my understanding is that as shown in the following figure the screen tip with content “Row: 2” is missing when you’re dragging/clicking the scrollbar.
I suggest you can try to reset your XLB file to help check if settings of excel have been changed.
XLB is a setting file format created by Microsoft Excel. XLB files contain custom settings for the toolbars (or command bars). These settings can be edited or customized by selecting “toolbar” from the view options. XLB files can contain information such
as which toolbars are visible, their position, and their function. XLB files allow for the transfer of customization information between computers and users.
Trying the following steps to reset you custom in excel:
Go to the path in your own computer as shown in the following figure:
Rename the *.xlb to *.xlb.old (Note: If you delete or rename *.xlb file, the settings of custom toolbars will lost.)
Restart Excel and it will create a new *.xlb file
Then, please check whether it is helpful.
If my understanding is incorrect, please let me know. If possible could you take a screenshot and upload it, and could you be at bit more precise explain your problem so that we can get more accurate solutions to this problem. I am glad to help and forward
to your reply.
Regards,

Issue with Excel add in

"Essbase has encountered an internal Excel error. Your sheet will not be overwritten and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit Excel and restart in order to clear up the problem"
Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Essbase client and also tried with essbase add in version 9.3.1.3, but nothing worked.
Please let us know your thoughts on the below issue.

I, too, would recommend rebuilding the workbook.. Excel workbooks can get some funny behaviors, particularly if they contain VBA code. VBA in Excel stays 'semi-compiled' and never really clears itself out and a bunch of phantom references remain (and are completely hidden). I have seen some very strange behavior cleaned up by rebuilding the workbook..
My old friend, Excel MVP Rob Bovey, has a utility specifically built to rebuild workbooks at http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/Utilities.htm.

SmartView issue with Excel protected sheets

Hi,
I'm facing an issue working with SmartView and Excel protected sheet.
When a try to refresh data SmartView get error "One or more sheet(s) in the workbook are protected. Unprotect the sheets and try the operation again".
Sheet layout is composed as:
- account in row
- period, scenario and version in column
- other dimension in point of view.
The goal of sheet protection is restrict on Excel side the set of cell available for user input and avoid the user add more account in row.
Is there a workaround to use SmartView work with protected sheet or the only way is unprotect it?
Any suggestion is really appreciated.
The system configuration is:
WindowsXP SP3
Excel 2007
SmartView 11.1.2.1.00
Regards

No, sorry Smart View has no access to write to the cell of a protected sheet. If you are skilled in VBA you could write a routine that unprotects your sheet does the SV operation and then re-protects. This may require you to hard code your protection password in code so I am not sure if this will work for you. Excel sheet protection lock the user and programs from updates so there is not much that can be done.
