Permanent workbook formatting with Excel

Hello community,
I am trying to format my workbooks in Excel (mainly text alignment within cells and merging multiple cells into one cell, simple stuff), but the formatting does not stick. The next time I open my workbook, the formatting is gone. How can I make the formatting permanent?
Thanks,
Alfred

Hi,
Go to workbook's Analysis mode click on the table-> Uncheck the checkbox 'Apply Formatting'->Save and apply Ur formatting and check the workbook.
Hope this helps...

Dear Experts,
I have read the Documentation of Permanent Regional Formatting, Save for all users, Remove Document Security in Document Properties.
Can anyone explain me in simple way all the above three. (More on Permanent Regional Formatting with example).

There's no unmanaged Web Intelligence functionality support via .NET as far as I know.

Workbooks created in excel office 2007 do not open with excel office 2003

Hi,
We have created workbooks using office 2007 and BEx 7.1 but they do not open with office 2007 (BEx 7.1, patch level 11). The error message is as mentioned ' workbook format .xlsm is supported only from office excel 2007 version'
Plz help.
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

Hi,
There is a workaround for this.
Save the workbook locally with ".xls" format in Excel 2007 and try to open with Excel 2003.Now it will open.
(Or)
There is one more option available in the Global Settings dialog where you can mention the "Use XLS File Format" under Default Workbook Tab.This is available from FEP8

Workbooks with Excel 2007 and 1 million lines

Hi all,
We are unable to use the 1 million lines available with Excel 2007 with the migrated workbooks. Also, it seems that Excel is saving the files in .xls format, even if the format default in Excel is not set for .xls.
Does anyone have a solution for this??
Thanks

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls

We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue. I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

"Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008
Posted: Sep 27, 2008 12:36 AM       E-mail this message      Reply
I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
Issue
Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
.NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
error Invalid export DLL or export format
We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
Server Operating System
Version of the .NET Framework
How did you deploy?
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
Any additional comments
What We Know
The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

How can I create a new excel workbook only with labview

Hi everyone...
I'm trying to create a new excel workbook only with labview but I can't find the file in the hard disk.
Someone knows?
Labview 8,0
Attachments:
Create new WB with LV.vi ‏18 KB

You are not using the correct mechanism. Pull up the Example Finder in LabVIEW, click on the "Search" tab, and enter "Excel". Look for an example called "Write Table to XL". Use this as a starting point for creating new workbooks and adding data to it.
Note: on disk the example is at <LabVIEW install directory>\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.

Error message when opening a shared workbook with Excel 2007

Hello,
We would like to share a workbook outside BW (by saving into a serveur).Since we use Excel 2007, we can't anymore open this workbook.
We have a message error (see bellow).
For your information, it was ok with Excel 2003.
When whe save the workbook in local disk and then copy from local disk
to a serveur, it's ok.
We use SAPGUI 7.10 support package 8, patch 1 Revision 1443 & BI 7.0.
Best regards
Nicolas Triqnuand

hey Nicolas,
first of all, your error message is in French... not too many people out there will be able to understand. Eventhough I do understand French, it doesn't make much sense to me... BUT... in Excel2007 all macro's are by default disabled. When you enable them (you should get a "Security Warning" right under "the Ribbon"), your BI stuff should work again.
Just gave it a try, and it runs smoothly over here.
Cheers,
RafB

Hi,
I have requirement wherein I have to send an email with excel attachment with proper formatting of certain fields in the excel sheet like making it bold or setting different color. The data is available in an internal table. Just to to format it and send an email when the program is executed in background mode.
Any pointers on this would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Anil.

I resolved my own problem using the BCS_EXAMPLE_7 program as sample.

Date format in iPad Numbers not compatible with Excel or OpenOffice

I use Apple Numbers on my iPad2 to collect data in the field, then download the file from iWorks as an Excel file to my PC running Windows XP and Office 2003. In the Numbers file, I want to enter dates in the format: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm and that format is the one I choose in the Numbers Date/Time options dropdown menu.
When I open the Numbers-generated Excel file, the dates display correctly in that file as originally entered. The problem occurs when I copy cells with dates to another spreadsheet originally created with Excel 2003 or OpenOffice v3.3.0.
When I copy Numbers-generated date cells to another spreadsheet, either in Excel 2003 or OpenOffice v3.3.0, the displayed dates are not correct and appear to be off by a consistent serial number value. In terms of Excel's serial date values, the Numbers date value is -1462 relative to the correct date value. e.g., 7/26/12 14:30 (equal to a serial value of 41116.6041666667 in Excel) entered into Numbers is displayed as 7/25/08 14:30 (equal to 39654.6041666667 in Excel) when that cell is copied from the Excel-formatted downloaded copy of the Numbers file to another, original, Excel spreadsheet. Ditto for an OpenOffice spreadsheet.
Since the problem occurs with either Excel or OpenOffice, I have to believe the problem lies with Numbers......... Or I am doing something totally stupid.
Any help on this?

Thanks for that. In fact, I had just discovered that same distinction between Win and Apple date systems before I saw your reply.
So, for me, the next meaningful question is whether I can change the date system used by my iPad and/or Numbers to match that used by my PC or...................... do I have to use a [+1462 days] workaround for eternity when copying dates from Numbers-generated files to spreadsheets I used on a daily basis in Excel on my Windows PC?
I understand one solution is to migrate completely to Apple, but I am not ready to do that.
Thanks, bob

Java corba ID CS5 7.0 Problem with table format import excel 2007 document

hello,
I want to import an excel 2007 document with a table into a textframe. This is the code to set import preferences:
ExcelImportPreference pref = aplicacion.getExcelImportPreferences();
pref.setTableFormatting(kTableFormattingOptionsExcelFormattedTable.value);
but when I insert the file into de texframe and export in a pdf file i lose the table format, always apply this format: kTableFormattingOptionsExcelUnformattedTabbedText.value.
This problem only happens with excel 2007. Excel 2003 files the import is ok.

Apart from iTunes (which I rarely update since we never use it) they both had a Java update, which I'm installing now but I can't imagine that's connected (plus they both didn't have it). Both Macs are 10.6.8.
I also repaired the permissions and cleaned caches on Friday. Today I created a new user/profile and tried the same thing on that. No luck.
