Render a CSV file in Excel format

Hi
I am trying to render a report from BI Publisher in a CSV format. In OBIEE when the report is downloaded as csv, it gets rendered in Excel format. Is there some way to do the same in BI Publsiher also?
Regards
Sujith

Now, i dont think, you can get it automatically open with excel.
Even if you create RTF template, and get excel output, its not going to be a comma separated file, but it will be a excel file.
I guess, you have to create RTF template and choose excel option and see, if it fits your requirement.

Why can't I open .csv files in Excel 2013?

We purchased (20) new machines all with Office 2013 (OEM) version. We can no longer open .csv files with Excel 2013. When we go to a machine with Office 2010 it opens perfectly. The issue is with some change to Excel. I see a lot
of complaints on the internet about this issue. Since we have OEM versions of Office, I am not entitled to a downgrade to 2010. I need to know what Microsoft is doing to fix this issue, or need them to grant us rights to downgrade.

Hi,
In regarding the issue, I had tested in Excel 2013 of my PC. It seems worked fine. Thus, I suggest you try to do the following methods to test.
1. Import the CSV file into Excel 2013. Click Data tab>From Text
http://superuser.com/questions/407082/easiest-way-to-open-csv-with-commas-in-excel
2. Did you get en error message "SYLK: File format is not valid" when you open CSV file?
If it was, please try to follow the link to fix the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323626
3. Please try copy one of the CSV file to notepad and save it as a new name to test.
4. You'd better upgrade the lastest patches.

Issues while opening a UTF16 encoded .csv file in excel using c#

When I tried to open a UTF8 encoded
.csv file in excel through my c# code, doing something like this:
m_excel.Workbooks.OpenText(newPath, Comma: true);
That works fine. Can anyone tell me what to do if I had to open a UTF16 encoded
.CSV file similarly. All options i tried either fails or print incorrect Unicode characters.
So somehow we have to specify the encoding format (of the file to be opened i.e .CSV) while opening using excel functions, which i am unable to figure out.
Please help me. I am badly stuck here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jb9952,
There is an Origin parameter in
Workbooks.OpenText method, you need to specify this parameter. You could try to use xlWindows (Windows ANSI).
To get the specify file origin value, you could get the detail code through Record Macro feature in excel.

Separator problem after opening a exported CSV file in Excel

Dear experts,
After exporting a report to .CSV file from BEX browser, I opened this file with Excel. I found that "," is considered as separator, but not ";" which is by default the separator in CSV file exported.
For example, when i open the CSV in Notepad, i have:
"15.07.2008";"E001";"No value"
"15.07.2008";"E001";"No value, date, time"
When it is opened in Excel, I have
"15.07.2008";"E001";"No value"(Column A)
"15.07.2008";"E001";"No value(Column A) date(Column B) time"(Column C)
Is that a problem in Excel configuration? How to solve it (for example, set ; as separator)?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please try opening your .csv file in excel. I am assuming that all texts are in one column. Select this column, go to Data>Text to Columns. Set the checkbox to Delimited. Click on next. Set the delimeter to ; and the text qualifier to ". Click on next. Click on finish. Then save in another filename. Try opening this new .csv file in notepad and see if it has the format you needed.
Hope this helps,

How to automatically open csv files in Excel on imac

I am migrating back from Google Chrome to firefox and would like to have the browser automatically open csv files to Excel on my mac desktop. The step to have them saved in the download folder and then go in an open it in Excel adds an unnecessary action. In the earlier versions of Firefox on my windows machine this worked as desired. Any help will be appreciated.

The Yahoo Finance server sends the file with the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' header. This is a generic MIME type that doesn't describe the type of file. Therefore you will always see a download prompt, regardless of your download preferences.
* [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Configuring_server_MIME_types What are MIME types? | MDN]
To get around this issue, install the Force Content-Type add-on.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/force-content-type/
In the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category, click the Options button next to Force Content-Type. Create two rules as follows:
* URL: '''(.csv)$''' Old Content-Type: '''text/plain''' New Content-Type: '''text/csv'''
* URL: '''(.csv)$''' Old Content-Type: '''application/octet-stream''' New Content-Type: '''text/csv'''
You should then be able to select what you want to do with CSV files (i.e. open them directly rather than save), and check the "Do this automatically…" option.
You're welcome.

Open .csv file in excel via Labwindows

Hello
After writing all my data in a .csv and closing it (using fclose), I would like to open this .csv file using Excel via a Labwindows command so that the user can see all the data. Is that possible? If yes, which function should I use?
Thanks

The simplest way of all is to issue the command OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer (): it should automatically open Excel with the document in it. It is equivalent of double-clicking the file in windows explorer.
If it does not opens the file, you must verify that in windows CSV file extension is correctly associated with Excel application.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Converting html file to csv file or excel file

Any body help me to convert html file into csv file or excel file using java.
I have no idea how to proceed.
is there any third party API's available.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance

Could it be that you're really interested in extracting specific values from the html file and then you want to export these values to csv and/or excel?

HT201279 convert Numbers file to Excel format

When I convert my Numbers file to Excel format, each worksheet name is appended with "Table - 1".
Each subsequent conversion adds another "Table - 1" to the name of every worksheet as well.
How do I stop this from happening?

If you are exporting then importing repeatedly, it will keep appending these things to the names.
Numbers document with two sheets, both with a single table called "Table 1" will get exported as two Excel worksheets: "Sheet 1 - Table 1" and "Sheet 2 - Table 1". It creates a separate Excel worksheet for every table and names each with the sheet and table name.
Reimporting this to Numbers will result in a Numbers document with a sheet called "Sheet 1 - Table 1" and another called "Sheet 2 - Table 1" and both will contain a single table called "Table 1". It imports each Excel worksheet as a Numbers Sheet and creates a table for each called "Table 1".
It really doesn't work well to import & export repeatedly. Much better to use one app or the other.

Upload a file of Excel Format into Internal Table!!!

Dear All,
Currently i have a question for upload a file of excel format, I can just convert the file of excel format to text format first. Then it would be OK.
As we all know, Frequently,The users would always like to provide the excel format to us. Thus, Is there any solutions directly uploaded the file of Excel format into database for web dynpro for ABAP? Not web dynpro for Java.
Appreciated what you reply!
Thanks in advance.

I saw my developer use LSMW to load the excel file to the db table. You must careful with the data that you're going to upload.

Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
zzxc: Hello
zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
seegal: hello
seegal: it doesn't copy
zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
Biolizard has joined the conversation.
zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
zzxc: Which version of OS X?
seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
zzxc: Which version of Excel?
zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

Web.Show_document to open .csv file in Excel How??

We have a utility built in our menu (mmb)
It reads the screen output and creates a .CSV file on the server using text_io and then using Web.show_document displays the file on the client.
The file opens in MS-EXCEL. It gives a standard Excel prompt for Open , Save or run.
Now our application has moved to FMW 11gAS.
The file creation is happening but the file is opening in HTML format.
The excel prompt is not coming.
Where is setting to be done to open the .CSV files in EXCEL

In addition to what I already mentioned, your issue may be partially caused by these two bugs: 10186820 & 10191154
Both have been fixed in 11.1.1.6, which was released last week. Information about the 11.1.1.6 patch set can be found in MyOracleSupport note 1364511.1
The fix should also already be in 11.1.2.0
