Problems exporting query results to Excel

Hi!
I hope you can help me
We have a web template that uses the class ZVIG_ART that we created in the transaction SE24, this class display some label in the query
results, the problem is when we export this report to excel the label disappear. The numbers indicates the stock of the item and the label N/V indicates that the item is not in the store's catalog. Another case is that we can have N/V items but with stock, for example the ITEM2 of the STORE3 with the label N/V-1piece. How can we export this label to EXCEL?
           | STORE1     |    STORE2   | STORE3
ITEM1      | 10 PIECES |    N/V      | 20 PIECES
ITEM2      | 11         |    20       | N/V-1PIECE
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Mari,
Thanks for the reply.
I can understand the resason for not being able to change the Posting Date. But what are the reasons for not being able to change the Document Date? What is the fiscal reason for not being able to change the Document Date? Please provide an example. Reversing the document doesn't work in this case as the SQ01 report would still include the incorrect date.
Regards,
Gary

Http 404 error exporting query result into Excel.

Hello. I'm getting an Http 404 The webpage cannot be found" error when trying to export any APEX application's query results into Excel (Application Express 3.2.1.00.10). This was working fine before. Nothing changed with our APEX application. I've been always using I.E. Version 7.0.5730.11 with no problems. I've reset the I.E. defaults and still the problem exists. I've downloaded Mozilla Firefox and the problem does not happen. However, I would like to know why my I.E. still gets this error? Any feedback or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

My EI settings are as follows:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security

Problem still exists.
Thanks for the help.... any additional feedback or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

About exporting query result to excel

Hi all,
I take the report result to an excel file and at this point I am being asked for my user name and password of BW login, repeatedly for many times, based on the amount of data it contains. Its quite irritating, as i need to fill that each time, it asks for that. So kindly suggest me, how to deal with this.
Regards,
Naveen.A

Hi Naveen,
Not sure that understood what you exactly meant. But will try to help. When you execute query in BEx you can save a workbook detaching it from a server. In this case all reporting information will be kept without further updating from a server. The client will just open the wb and see all information. Certainly, he will not be able to make drilldowns. But for this you save your wb as a view with all drildowns already done.
Best regards,
Eugene

How to open the TFS query results in Excel?

Hello Guys,
Question 1: Is there any way to export the query results from the TFS web browser?
Question 2: Is there any way to export the query results from Team Explorer 2013?
Here is the query results in TFS:
How do I export this result in excel for further analysis?
I have also connected to Team explorer 2013 and right clicked on the query, but there is no option to open the results in Excel, see below:

Hello,
_Pls follow these guide lines for ensuring proper output in Microsoft Excel:
1.First compare the fields properties and the frames properties between the reports created with wizard and the reports created manually.
2. Do not leave any space between two adjacent objects.
Explanation: Because any space, including a few pixels, between two adjacent objects will result in an empty cell or column in Excel output
3.Make sure that the widths of all objects are vertically consistent.
Explanation: If the objects are not exactly aligned vertically, that is, have inconsistent widths, it is likely to result in insertion of unwanted cells/columns in Excel.
4. Pls. Make sure that the vertical elasticity of the frames and repeating frames is not fixed unless you are sure you have allocated enough space to accommodate all the records.
Explanation: If you set the Vertical Elasticity property of a frame to Fixed, the output in Excel will show only as many records as could appear on the first page of the paper output. Since Excel does not have a page concept, it is not able to overflow the remaining rows to the next page.
5. For reliable formatting of spreadsheet output, enclose the whole layout area in a frame.
Explanation: This action prevents the possibility of parallel objects displaying in different vertical positions, one following the other.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex

How to export query results

How can I export query results from sqlplus on the command line? Are there ways to specify the format such as CSV, TAB, XML, etc?
I've seen one approach that involves creating a shell script and piping the output to a file:
#!/bin/sh
sqlplus user/password <<__EOF__
set heading off;
set newpage none;
select f1, ',', f2, ',', f3 from some_table;
__EOF__
Then pipe the output to a file. Is there a simpler solution to this?

How to save query result in excel file

Hi all,
How to save query result in excel file from sql*plus tool.
thank you

Do you really need an Excel file (binary) or a simple CSV?
If you just need a CSV then search for DUMP_CSV at http://asktom.oracle.com or at this forum
If you need formatting and/or multiple worksheets then you can use free tools like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

Export result of ssas query result to excel file

Hi All,
I have browsed a SSAS cube. I want to export result of SSAS cube into excel file.
Kindly give your input.
Thanks,
Vivek singh

Hi,
I do not know whether there is a direct solution but there is an indirect way of doing it. I always follow this method if I ever want to get MDX results into Excel.
1 - Install the DAX Studio (I know you want MDX results, so do not get confused by looking at the word DAX. Continue reading). You can download it from the following location.
http://www.sqlbi.com/tools/dax-studio/
2 - Once you install DAX Studio, Go to the Add-Ins ribbon. Click on DAX Studio.
3 - There is an option "Tabular Server" and there is a drop-down list where you can enter the SSAS (MD CUBE Server) server name. Enter the server name manually. If you have multiple SSAS Databases and if you are interested in a specific SSAS database
enter "Initial Catalog=Your SSAS Database Name" in Additional Options section and Click Connect. You can successfully connect to the SSAS Server now.
Here are the details described so far in pictorial representation.
4 - Enter your MDX manually and execute the code via DAX studio and you will get your results right-away in Excel.
Now, isn't that an elegant way of getting MDX results into Excel :) ? Besides Excel's Pivot Table option, I do not know whether there are any alternate solutions to this but wait for other Pros' comments as well.
Best regards...

Export Query Data to Excel

Hey guys, I have a cfm page that I am using to query data, and the result set is displayed on the same page when a user clicks submit.
My question is, I would like to create a clickable icon where, after a user runs the query and the data table displays, I want the user to be able to click a little Excel icon that will allow them to download the data in Excel.
So, a user clicks on a little icon somewhere on the page and IE or Firefox or whatever pops up a little dialog box asking them if they want to OPEN or SAVE the file results.xls. How can I do this?
Here is my current code, but where do I implement the cfoutput stuff to export? On the same page?
<cfquery name="qActivity" datasource="khamp" result="resultInfo">
     SELECT KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT, KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.DES1, KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY,
    SUM (KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.AMOUNT) AS "TotalAmt"
     FROM KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT, KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL
    WHERE 0=0
    <cfif Form.Entity IS NOT "">
          AND KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY = '#Form.Entity#'
     </cfif>
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCTG_DATE <= '#Form.asofday#-#Form.asofmonth#-#Form.asofyear#'
    <cfif Form.accountnum IS NOT "">
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT = '#Form.accountnum#'
    </cfif>
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT=KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT
    GROUP BY
KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT,
KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT,
KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.DES1,
KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY
     HAVING SUM(KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.AMOUNT)<>0
     ORDER BY KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT ASC
     </cfquery>
<cfif resultInfo.Recordcount eq 0>
    No Records Match the Search Criteria.
    <cfelse>
    <hr/>
    <br/>
    <table border="1" class="displaytable">

        <tr>
           <th>Account</th>
           <th>Description</th>
           <th>Entity</th>
           <th>Book 1</th>
      </tr>

      <cfoutput query="qActivity">
      <tr>
        <td>#qActivity.ACCOUNT#</td>
        <td>#qActivity.DES1#</td>
        <td>#qActivity.ENTITY#</td>
        <td style="text-align:right">#NumberFormat('#qActivity.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
      </tr>
      </cfoutput>
I got the following code off of a thread in the forum, but it trys to download the excel file as soon as the query is run (the excel download doesn't work though, it trys to download the actual cfm page instead):
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="inline; filename=tb.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
<table border="2">
<tr>
<td> Account </td><td> Description </td><td> Entity </td><td> Book1 </td>
</tr>
<cfoutput query="qActivity">
<tr>
<td>#qActivity.ACCOUNT#</td><td>#qActivity.DES1#</td><td>#qActivity.ENTITY#</td><td>#NumberFormat('#qActivity.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>
</cfcontent>
Thanks guysq

To actually get the data into excel, google "cold fusion excel poi" and look for Ben Nadel's cfc. Otherwise you might have issues with Office 2007.
For the icon or whatever, make your query a session variable. Then have the icon link to either a self closing popup or a very small iframe that exports the query to an excel file and then uses cfcontent to download it to the user.

Export query result to txt file

Hello,
I'm trying to export a query result to txt file but I facing some problems.
I'm using the comand below:
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
set colsep ,
spool C:\estados.txt
select id_estado,cod_estado,nme_estado from tb_estado;
spool off
First problem: My select statement is being writen on my estados.txt
Second problem: The results are being writen with a lot of blank spaces in start of line, for example, instead of write "1,AC,Acre" the line is write as " 1,AC,Acre".
Third problem: The "spool off" statement is being written on my estados.txt
How could I solve it?
Thanks

1. Works here - what version of SQL*PLUS are you using?
2. If you want to prevent spaces, you have to write your SELECT like this:
select id_estado || ',' || cod_estado || ',' || nme_estado from tb_estado;Note: not tested.
3. See 1.

2.1.0.62: Exporting query results does not work if SQL has a join

I get an error message, when I try to export the following test case to any data format.
create table test1 (id number(2), text varchar2(5));
create table test2 (id number(2), text varchar2(5));
insert into test1 values (1,'test');
insert into test2 values (1,'test');
select t1.*
from
test1 t1,
test2 t2
where
t1.id=t2.id;
I try to translate my german error message to english:
"There are no valid columns for export available. Clob- or Blob-Columns are currently not supported"
I get this message, when I right click into the query result grid and select export and then any data format.
Hope that is not a double post but searching for export did not find results for 2.1.
The following SQL also produces the error:
select t1.* from test1 t1;
These SQLs can be exported though:
select * from test1 t1;
select t1.id from test1 t1;
I should have mentioned that I work with Windows XP and Oracle 10.2.0.4.

Hi,
Dhalek.
I've got the same problem here.
In my SQL Dev, I disabled the Autopopup code completion insight in SQL Worksheet. (Tools - Preferences - Code Editor - Code Completion - untick the checkbox). Restart SQL Dev. Tried to export a query.
The same error message appears.
My workaround is to re-enable the autopopup and restart SQL Dev.
The disabled autopopup code completion insight caused me these
2.1 EA1: Bugs - cannot Export Data from Grid
2.1 EA2: Bugs on code completion for displaying column name
Hope this helps,

Export query results to flat file with dynamic filename

Hi
Can anybody can point me how to dynamic export query serults set to for example txt file using process flows in OWB.
Let say I have simple select query
select * from table1 where daterange >= sysdate -1 and daterange < sysdate
so query results will be different every day because daterange will be different. Also I would like to name txt file dynamicly as well
eg. results_20090601.txt, results_20090602.txt, results_20090603.txt
I cant see any activity in process editor to enter custom sql statment, like it is in MSSQL 2000 or 2005
thanks in advance

You can call existing procedures from a process flow the procedure can create the filename with whatever name you desire. OWB maps with file as target can also create a file with a dynamic name defined by an expression (see here ).
Cheers

Export query result to csv using Export Wizard

Been a decade since I last used Oracle and related tools.
I had to use Oracle server again, I have a query over multiple tables, I am to run a scheduled script that will spit out the query result as a csv file.
I started with SQL Developer Export wizard, in step "Specify Data", I am at a loss, where to specify the query itself? I see a Name,Schema,Type input, a text area below, Up,UpAll,Down,DownAll buttons etc etc. Where do I specify my query here? Can someone please help?
Is this the best way to go about to schedule a data export (query to csv) daily?

To export a user query rather than a whole table, run it in a worksheet and export using the context menu on the result grid. However none can be scheduled.
Instead you can look at the SPOOL command and schedule it through SQL*Plus. Any questions can go to the iSQL*Plus and/or SQL And PL/SQL forum.
Have fun,
K.
