Problem with excel numbers

I have an InDesign CS5 document with 100+ tables that are linked to Excel spreadsheets so every quarter I just need to update the links instead of recreating the document again. My issue that it appears that InDesign is not rounding off a number correctly. Then number in Excel is 0.945. When I format the number in Excel to 2 decimal places, it displays the number as 0.95. When the number is imported into the InDesign document, it displays it as 0.94. If I change the number in Excel to 0.946, InDesign will then round the number correctly to 0.95. It seems to only happen when the least significant digit is a 5.
With out going through all 100+ Excel Worksheets, how can I get InDesign to correctly display this number?

Interesting. Since I never knew that Excel sheets can be placed as is, I placed some Excel sheet and set a number of 1.345 into a cell and formatted to two decimal places, then showing as 1.35.
Then imported to ID via extended dialog and set like "decimal places = 2" and it rounded it to 1.35. This is expected and so it actually works.
The only difference to you is, I got CS6.

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.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).

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

Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

Hello together!
I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
That means,
1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
What's wrong?
Do I have to change any country parameter?
Juliane

I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

How to troubleshoot problems with Excel import

When I import a spreadsheet from Excel into Numbers, I get a notification window with a long list of errors encountered during the import. I can deal with the formatting issues, and I've managed to get rid of most of the "unsupported formulas" errors. However, I still have one stubborn "unsupported formulas" error. How do I get Numbers to identify which cell(s) have unsupported formulas that were removed on import from Excel?

There are some triangle symbols, but they refer to using a BOOLEAN as a number. That's not where the problem with unsupported formulas is, though. Numbers says that it replaced the cells that had unsupported formulas with the contents of the cell at the time of import, which I interpret as meaning that I should be looking at cells that don't contain formulas. My problem is that I have lots of cells that contain only numbers, and I somehow need to find that single cell that have an unsupported formula in the Excel version of the file.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Problem with decimal numbers..

hi i posted the other day with a problem I had. I thought it was all sorted but I have just realised that there is another problem.
I have the following code for an applet:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TextFieldExample extends Applet implements ActionListener {
TextField textInput;
String text = "";
public void init() {
textInput = new TextField (20);
add(textInput);
textInput.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
text = textInput.getText();
repaint();
public void paint(Graphics g) {
     int x = Integer.parseInt(text);
     double y = Math.abs(x);
g.drawString("You wrote " + text,20,500);
     g.drawString("The absolute value is: " + y,20,100);
I am trying to do the applet so when you type in an angle, it tell you the sine, cosine etc. I can get it to work with whole numbers like 1,10,300, but it won't work when i try to use decimal numbers. Can anyone help?
Thnk you in advance!


Hi,
you are using Integer.parseInt() to convert the input, so it will only work if the text is an integer. Use Double.parseDouble() instead.

Performance Problems with Excel Client

Hello all,
We installed BPC 7.5 SP7 NW on our customeru2019s system and experience massive performance problems on our local clients in combination with Excel and MS Office in general.
u2022When opening u201CMaintain Dimension Membersu201D it takes some time (approx. 2 min) to open the Excel Sheet with the elements. The u201CSave to Serveru201D as well as the u201CProcess Dimensionu201D also takes time to execute. When executing u201CProcess Dimensionu201D the sandbox appears and it takes approx 2 min until the Process popup window appears. The process itself has normal performance.
u2022We also experienced slow performance with the opening or saving dynamic templates dialogue in the Excel Client. It takes some time until this dialogue appears.
In general, we experience slow performance every time BPC is opening a pop up window! We also experience slow performance when opening a (non BPC) MS Office document.
In order to resolve this issue we looked at the following notes and forum entries:
Notes: 1541181, 1531059, 1507575, 1479436, 1448502, 1288810
Forum: BPC NW slow Performance (Expand, Refresh, Saving) - How to enhance it?, [BPC for Excel] Dimension clicked, then Excel hangs
Can anybody give me tipps on how to solve this issue?

Problem with Excel 2013 TaskPane

Hello,
I got problem with TaskPane on Excel 2013. With Excel 2007 and 2010 my program works perfectly.
I'm opening a workbook and making custom ribbon, but my workbook is hided and the problem comes that first time i can see TaskPane but after any other workbook opening and closing i can't show TaskPane because Globals.ThisAddIn.SarasuTaskPane.Visible
= true don't showing me TaskPane. Actual it's showing but we can't see it because it's hided with workbook, and if i unhide workbook i can see and use it. But i need my main workbook to be not visible for all time and users must see TaskPane.
I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub
3. That Sub loads my COM AddIn, and opens another .xlsm file (at the moment there are 2 .xlsm files opened)
4. My Add-in creates TaskPane, and TaskPane adds on my first .xlsm file(i noticed), and it's fine i can see it. But then i try some of my functions which sets TaskPane visible - false, and opens another .xlsx file then closes it, and trying to do TaskPane visible
- true no errors but also no TaskPane, then i Manually unhide my first Workbook i can see the TaskPane, when i hide it manualy - TaskPane hides too.. and this only on Excel 2013.
Any ideas to solve this? As i mention before with Excel 2007 and 2010 no problems it's works perfectly.
sincerely,
Julius

I have used you code to hide a panel , it works fine
Maybe my first post was incorrectly written. I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object

Problem with Excel 2013 on W8 and WD NAS

With my W8 laptop, I get a lot of problem saving excel file on my NAS. I get "we can't save filename.xlsx because the file is in read-only. To keep your changes you'll need to save the workbook with a new name or in a different location..."
I'm alone using the file. Not being use by anyone else.
Exemple: load file "A" from the NAS, can't save it back on the NAS. I save it as "B" on my desktop. Open "B" do some change and try to save it... get " that someone else is using the file....
Only way is to save it one a 3rd name...
I have this issue often but not all the time..
Don't see this with W7pro laptops...
Thank you

Hi FGauthier,
Have you ever try to save Document ,PPT file or Text file to the NAS? Does this issue only occurs with excel file?
what will happen if you copy the file to NAS instead of use the 'save as' feature within excel?
When you open the excel file, if it flagged as read-only, try to right-click the file, check if the read-only option is ticked. Also you can try to save the file as different file format to test this issue.
Also please check if you enable the preview pane, try to disable it .
a) Open File Explorer.
b) Click on View Tab.
c) Click on Preview Pane to view\hide it.

Problems with Excel 2007 and Essbase 6.5

Hi,
Two quick questions:
1. We are planning to upgrade our office to 2007, XP professional SP2 but still going to use Essbase excel add-in 6.5 for some users and Essbase 7.3 add-in for others. Has anyone faced any problems with this combination?
2. The only problem I encountered so far was when I double click a member name for retrieval, the pointer (cursor/icon) flickers / flashes continuously. But when I take the pointer out of the excel spreadsheet, the flicker goes away. Does anyone know a fix to this. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm admin of an hyperion essbase database.
I'm testing our addin 6.5.1 with excel 2007.
First problem evocated on retrieve is confirmed.
I continue my test and tell you if i find another problem.
What i would say is that old version can be unsupported but i'm sure we can use this addin on excel 2007, i hope.
Regards.

SSRS 2012 problem with excel export

Hello
I updated SSRS 2005 up to SSRS 2012. When I exported report in excel (xlsx) I got following warning :
"We found a problem with some conent in 'filnename.xlsx'.Do you want to try to recover as much as we can? if you trust the source of this workbook,click yes"
After Pressing Yes Button
"REpaired Recors: Cell information from .xl.worksheets.sheet1.xml port"
15
0.00000000000000000000 this is in string format instead decimal
2
0.00000000000000000000
This heppens if i have decimal(38.20) variable in table and record value is 0.
To avoid this problem i must change report and use this expression
=IIF(Fields!SomeValue.Value = 0, 0, Fields! SomeValue.Value)
for value in report, but this is not sulution for me because we have more then hundred reports.
Is any other solution?

Hi LashaGurgenidze,
The issue seems to be related to the Excel 2010 or the Excel 2007-2010 rendering extension in SSRS 2012. If possible, I suggest that you keep the Office 2010 and the SQL Server 2012 up to date, and check the issue again.
In order to solve the issue, we can enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension in SSRS 2012, and use this render when exporting to Excel. We can modify the EXCEL render extension in the rsreportserver.config file as follows:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"/>
Then, the Excel 2003 render extension will be available in the Export drop-down list.
By default, the file is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Before we modify it please backup the rsreportserver.config file.

Anyone seen this problem with Excel 2003?

We're developing a Microsoft Excel-based app. The help system uses HTML Help (.chm) format, and works just fine with Excel 2007 and 2010. However, since a lot of potential users out there are still using older versions, we've been asked to adapt the app for Excel 2002 and 2003.
The help system works, more or less, with Excel 2002, but when we try it with Excel 2003 the tri-pane is missing. The default topic appears but the left-hand pane containing the navigation system (TOC, Index and Search) is missing. Consequently, users can't move away from the default topic. Has anyone come across this problem before, and do you know how to fix it?

I cannot help you with this one other than to say I haven't seen any other such reports. That may suggest it is worth checking for some small difference you haven't identified yet.
Of course it could also mean there aren't many people with that workflow.

Problems with line numbers (building via ant).

We use ant for our builds and are having a problem with getting line numbers into call stacks. When running on linux we do not get the lines for our projects (not all projects have debug option), just (Unknown Source), however we do see line numbers for the tib jars. Eclipse is fine, we can see all line numbers as appropriate.
I have tried "lines", "lines,source" and "lines,var,source" - all build a different sized jar which suggest something is getting added. However as we see line nums for tib it suggests it's some strange java runtime option. We're using sunjdk 1.5.10 and also jrockit.
Any ideas/answers most appreciated.
Many thanks, Declan
