Percent Calculations fail in Scheduled and Excel exports

We have a order report that calculates a simple Percentage Filled calculation (i.e. -
units_shipped/units_ordered).
Units_Shipped = 120 and Units_order = 185, you would expect an answer of 64.86%
When we schedule this report, the answer is 3800.00%.
Also when we export the answer from scheduled reports the answer in Excel is 3800.00%.
When we run the report live, the answer is correct.
Database Software: v9.2.0.5
Operating System: HP/UX
Application Server Version: 10.1.2.0.2 (10gR2)
Discoverer Version: 10.1.2.48.18
Thanks for any help,
Bob

Hi Bob
No I'm afraid not. This issue was mentioned to be in passing by someone from within Oracle several months ago. After that the trail went cold and I just kept a note in case someone started reporting issues.
You might want to raise an SR with support and quote what I have said to see if one of the myriad of patches that have come out over the past year could have fixed it. You might also want to ask whether the newer 10.1.2.2 fixes it.
Best wishes
Michael

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
Import & Backup is the third button on the toolbar in the Library that looks like a star.
You should be able to export the bookmarks via that button.

Strange characters displaying in FR pdf and excel export

We are using Financial Reporting on a Planning application. We have a dimension, projects, whose aliases display on the report. Now the strange part. On some projects, not all, during some report runs, but not all, some, but not all, of the spaces in the alias are translated into a question mark in the pdf, and then when the pdf is exported to excel, the question marks are translated into black diamonds with a question mark inside.
We’ve seen it happen on a handful of projects. These are from the same report, first one from report ran Monday, second one from report ran yesterday.
P.F0256REC - M88 STS Forecast
P.F0256REC�-�M88�STS Forecast
Ok, the diamonds won't paste into this message. But you can see the little squares in the second line - those are the diamonds with question marks inside.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? Or know what to do about it?
Sabrina

I've seen similar items with 2 causes:
1. When creating the alias names, the DBAs copied from emails and pasted the names in, which caused the formatting issues. Solution, get them to remove the existing alias and retype manually.
I think this is probably your problem too.
2. Font substitution: The other time was due to differing fonts installed on the developer, print server and BI server machines, causing some incorrect items to be displayed - check that the fonts are the same on all servers/instances.
Hope this helps.

PDF and excel Exported files are bad

Hi experts,
I can export the report using the Central Management Console for a report with parameters, the same report when opened in a struts, in 5.5.23 version tomcat cannot export properly in pdf, excel formats, although rtf format can. I am not an expert in Crystal reports, or BOE, as they are being developed by other people, i only display these reports using java SDK. Any pointers to this would be helpful.
Other issues, are like, on changing the zoom factor percentage, the report appears to be resubmitting, and not displaying instantaneous.
cheers & thanks
Nithy

Hi All,
I figured out the problem, but couldnt get the solution for the above issue. My struts in tomcat has a servlet filter for all types of formats when downloading, and hence this crystal report which is being generated on the fly also needs to pass through this servlet, but the servlet works when i know the pdf file (Already existing) and given in the link like /bin/abc/test/download/test.pdf,
how can this be possible for crystal viewer, or thru SDK exporting of any file ? I am using
exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, session.getServletContext(), null);
any pointer to this would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
Nithy

InputFile, usesUpload and excel export on Glassfish

Hello,
I am working in an ADF application which is deployed on a Glassfish server. I use jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0.
I have problems with two components : the af:inputFile and the af:exportCollectionActionListener.
Cause of af:inputFile I had to change the usesUpload property to true.
[code]<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">[/code]
In Glassfish, if usesUpload property is true, the af:inputFile component have a strange behavior where the web browser ask user to refresh the page.
The other problem is about export excel functionality.
[code]
<af:commandImageLink text="" id="cil4" icon="/adf/images/excel.png">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener type="excelHTML" exportedId="t2"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
[/code]
In Glassfish, clicking on the export excel button raise a nullPointerException. This nullpointerException does not occur if the usesUpload property is set to false.
Knowing that there is no problem in weblogic, how can I use af:inputFile and af:exportCollectionActionListener components in an application which must be deployed on Glassfish? Is there a solution? or is it an ADF Essential's limitation?

used the same code for the export to excel on 11.1.2.3 of adf-essentials deployed to Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1.2.2 (build 5)
<af:menu text="My Options" id="m2">
<af:commandMenuItem text="Export to Excel"
id="cmi1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener type="excelHTML"
exportedId="t1"/>
</af:commandMenuItem>
Found no issues. Will give the inputfile a shot and let you know what I find.

Excel export and totals

Hi, all-
When I export a report to Excel, it does not export the Totals boxes at the bottom of the report. Is there a way to do this?
For example, when I run a quarterly sales analysis report by item, then filter it to see a range of styles, I see the totals at the bottom of my screen in SAP, but the export in Excel does not pick up these fields.
Any way to do this?
Thanks,
Shelby

Hi ,
I think it is calculated at run time and it will not be exported to excel . I guess you can try exporting to
PDF and see if this works .PDF is also related to PLD layout so I guess you will have some flexibilty.
Otherwise ,you need to use excel function to resolve your issue.
Hope this helps

Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
There is something to be said for clarity.
You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
That is all.

When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
File > Duplicate
File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
I posted several times a script editing this resource.
This morning I'm not in a mood allowing me to do your duty.

Problem with CR exporting and Excel formatting/merging

I'm currently running Visual Studio 2008 (Version 10 of CR). We have a Winforms application that runs various crystal reports I can't say there's anything particularly sophisticated about it. Just slap the report in a viewer, pass in the parameters, and run. As I've mentioned elsewhere I have not done much with CR (or Excel for that matter).
The problem is this. Our client is exporting certain reports to Excel, the 'full' version if that's the right term, not the data only option. The first field on every line of the detail is a text object consisting of several fields, concatenated. These fields combined form an ID number that we want to sort by. Unfortunately, so they tell me, this is currently impossible because in the export, the number occupies two columns and they are not merged. (Actually it doesn't look like any of the report columns bear any relation to any of the Excel columns.)
I always thought Excel export was one of those black box extras.
Now I have to ask, is there any way to customize it, programmatically or otherwise? (Am I overlooking any options?)
(Digging a bit deeper, could there be something in the CrystalDecisions API that I could use? Not sure I see anything useful in the ExcelExportOptions object yet.)

Calculation of basic dates and schedule dates

I update material master from routing with CA97 to material master
work scheduling data with base quantity 1000
When MRP running, planned order for 54000 PCS is schedule with work scheduling data.
when i schedule planned order (change)
the calculation basic date & schedule date differs for 19 days
cause basic start shift
why is this happend?
is this cause by rounding when transforming minute from routing to days in material master?
is this because i used shift sequence and scheduling with breaks?
some strage case again is
for base qty 1000 processing time is 0.97
for base qty 10000 processing time is 6.93
is there any solution for this case?
please help.
Best regards,

Hi,
Yes. The schedule date is generated considering your factory calender also in addition to the routing data. For eg.. Suppose if Saturday and sunday are holidays, the schedule date will be extended to 2 days.
Pl. check the unit in your routing for the second query.
Pl. refer the link

Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats and translating

Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
I would like advice on the best way to learn more about pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.
David Hardisty (david1610)

Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
Thank you again!

Could 'export button' show only pdf, and excel only?

Hai,
I am using report viewer, it has export button in that header.
Could 'export button' show only pdf, and excel only?
So the report just only export pdf only or excel only.

Asp.net Vs2010

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/74dad27b-ef7e-4b9b-8922-666b317b3094

            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "XML");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "CSV");

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/TimeSet()?select=TimeByDay,TimeDayOfTheWeek$filter=TimeByDay ge datetime'2014-10-19T00:00:00'

Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Is any different between ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 for Excel export?

Dear all,
As you know, most standard SAP report allow Excel export. I just wonder is any different between ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 for excel report in standard SAP reports?
In ECC 5.0, Reports in profit center accounting, LIS, or PA, etc. has their own different way to export to excel and is any improvement in ECC 6.0? I Thanks.

In ECC 5.0, a lot of reports don't have Excel export function instead user has to go to system -> List -> Save -> Local file -> spreadsheet.
I just wonder is any improvement in ECC 6.0? just like LIS report, user can select export -> Transfer XXL to either pivot table or just plain excel but the function only exist in certain reports in some modules and not all.
Thanks again.
