Hi kabariya,
first you should rename that file to "*.csv", it's not a real Excel XLS file...
Then you should use ReadFromSpreadsheetFile to load the file and IndexArray to index the 3rd column. When you know the time of the data creation you could use a waveform to plot your data, otherwise simply plot the column data over an arbitrary X axis...
Edit:
You have asked this in a different thread before. WHY DO YOU CREATE DOUBLE POSTS FOR THE SAME TOPIC?

Reading DBF & XLS files from ODI-AIX
Hi all
I need to read DBF (Foxpro) and XLS files from ODI 10.1.3.5 for AIX 6.x
Anyone knows what drivers we need to install or any other kind of method to read them?
Thanks in advance
Ernest !Ernest,
To load DBF on AIX, you will need to use a DBF Foxpro jdbc driver. One of the drivers can be purchased from http://www.csv-jdbc.com/stels_dbf_jdbc.htm
or
http://www.hxtt.com/dbf.html
Copy the driver in the $ODI_HOME/oracledi/drivers directory and restart the agent if you have any.
Then you need to configure a Dbase physical dataserver + physical schema with the following JDBC URL
jdbc:jstels:dbf:/yourserverpath/dir_containing_dbf_files
Obviously, you will also need to define the corresponding logical schema
And after you define a model based on the logical schema, you will define the datastore. The "resource name" will contain name of the dbf file without the .dbf.
For XLS, you can try the drivers from the listed above.

Read very very large excel file into 2d array (strings or varient)
Hi all,
Long time user, first time poster on these boards.
Looking at the copius amounts of great info related to reading Excel data from .xls files into labview, i've found that every one i've found from various people use the ActiveX method (WorkSheet.Range) which two strings are passed, namely excel's LetterNumber format to specify start and end.
However, this function does not work when trying to query huge amounts of information. The error returned is "Type Mismatch, -2147352571" I have a very large excel sheet i need to read data from and then close the excel file (original file remains unchanged). However this file is gigantic (don't ask me, I didn't make it and I can't convince them to use something more appropriate) with over 165 columns at 1000 rows of data.I can read a large number of columns, but only a handful of rows, or vice versa.
Aside from creating a loop to open and close the excel file over and
over reading pieces of it at a time, is there a better way to read more
data using ActiveX? Attached is code uploaded by others (with very minor modification) as an example.
Thanks,

Excel Get Data Specified Field (1-46col).vi 23 KBHi Maddox731,
I've only had a very quick glance through your thread, and I must admit I haven't really thought it through properly yet. Sounds like you've come up with your own solution anyway. That said I thought I'd take a bit of a scatter gun approach and attach some stuff for you regradless. Please forgive my bluntness.
You'll find my ActiveX Excel worksheet reader, which may or may not contain the problem you've come across. I've never tried it with the data size you are dealing with, so no promises. I've also attached my ADO/SQL approach to the problem. This was something I moved onto when I realised the limitations of AX. One thing I have noticed is that ADO/SQL is much faster than AX, so there may be some gains for you there with large data sets if you can implement it.
I should add that I'm a novice to all this and my efforts are down to bits I've gleamed from MSDN and others' LV examples. I hope it's of some use, if only to spark discussion. Your ctiticism is more than welcome, good or bad.
Regards.

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table
Hi
am using the FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 to read xls file from FTP server to internal table
but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.

OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank YouHi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11
We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.
Regards,
George Zhao

What is the best, most efficient way to read a .xls File and create a pipe-delimited .csv File?
What is the best and most efficient way to read a .xls File and create a pipe-delimited .csv File?
Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85You should have no trouble doing this in SSIS. Simply add a data flow with connection managers to an existing .xls file (excel connection manager) and a new .csv file (flat file). Add a source to the xls and destination to the csv, and set the destination
csv parameter "delay validation" to true. Use an expression to define the name of the new .csv file.
In the flat file connection manager, set the column delimiter to the pipe character. -
Hi. I have problems changing the data on my XLS files.I tried Adobe reader but it can't open the files.What should I do??

1.is it possible to read a .xls file and load it into an oracle table
1.is it possible to read a .xls file and load it into an oracle table, using oracle database or oracle forms i.e. either utl_file, or text_io, or any other oracle tool.
As far as I know we need a csv file or a txt ( tab delimited) file ?
2.Are there any windows tools for the sameHi,
If you want to use the DDE package to read the XLS file then yes, you will neeed to know the number of rows and columns in the input file.
i.e. How will you know :
1) How many columns are there in the input file.
If I have a XLS file with the following data :
R1C1 R1C2 R1C3 R1C4 R1C5 R1C6 R1C7
xxx xx x
Where R represents row and C represents column, then how will you know the each row has 7 columns. If you know the answer upfront, then it's not a issue.
Using the DDE apprach, you will have to specify the RowNum and the ColumnNo of each idividual cells to read/write data from xls sheet.
Look at the syntax in my ealier post.
using the other approch (i.e. comma delimited text file - CSV file) , you need not know the number of columns as you can loop thru the input record till the last column is read.
All you have to do is to look for the 'n' occurances of the field delimiter say ',', do a substr from the current position to the point where the ',' was found.
This process is to be repeated in a loop till all columns are read.
The TEXT_IO package can trap for EOF (End Of File).
Hope I made myself clear.

Abdul Muthalefas Gasparotto said, copy the csv file to the database server.
create a directory object on the database.
create directory dir_temp as 'e:\mydir'
grant read, write on directory dir_Temp to <user>
and then map this csv file to the external table using the below syntax.
CREATE TABLE tab_hierarchy
node_id NUMBER,
parent_id NUMBER,
description VARCHAR2(255)
ORGANIZATIOn EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY dir_temp
ACCESS PARAMETERS
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
(node_id,parent_id,description)
LOCATION ('tree.csv')
PARALLEL
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;in the above code, replace the filename under the LOCATION with your csv file name.
now you should be just able to do select on this table and insert to the other main tbale. -
Is it possible to read "rtx" files in JAVA.. and make a "xls" files.. !!
Hello frnds..
I dont have any idea.. how to read rtx files.. in JAVA.. ??
I have some data in rtx files.. which i want to read it.. and save in xls files.. !!
Please someone help.. am new to java.. searched a lot.. abt that .. but didnt find.. anything.. !!
gerviniI'm not being dismissive but I think your question comes down to "is there already a package/library to do this".
You can use POI/HSSF to generate xls using Java. As for the other end, is rtx a rich text format? Are you able to parse the information in the file by simply reading the file through the regular file reading mechanisms? -
Hi all
I want read the content of a xls file.
For creating xls file am used poi.
On reading xls hoe to get the column and row count.
pls reply with example
thanks for reply.You're already using POI to create XLS files. Guess what, you can also use the same to read XLS files. If your problem is more that you don't know how, then just read the documentation and code examples which come along it (and are available at its homepage).
