Dear community members;
I am using 6i Report builder with 10g DB. I have created Matrix report. Now I want to convert it in Excel in same format, but I am getting problem in Matrix Columns. Matrix Column should be transfer in excell columns wise but it transfers row wise.
I have used package "RPT2XLS". Please help what should I do.
Thanks
Shahab Ahmed Khan

I found while googling
Addons for matrix reports:
The main problem in matrix that reports processes horizontal direction
after vertical one, therefore then used default created matrix layout the
horizontal headers in excel printed below matrix
1. Create default matrix report using report wizard
2. In data model insert:
- summary column COL (counter of horisontal colunm) into horisontal direction group
- summary column COLMAX (maximum of COL) on report level
3. In layout model remove matrix horisontal headers and create new
header frame above matrix frame as in example
4. Create above-mentioned procedures, triggers and excel button (use COL and COLMAX variables
for positioning of matrix cell fields in excel)

Report generation toolkit excel, decimal?

Hello!
I have problem with the report generation toolkit excel!
I only gets 3 decimals in excel?
Ex. In labview = 0.0458943 when i send it to excel = 0.046.
I use Excel easy table.vi to transfer my array, should I use someting else?
Ive already tryid to increase the decimal in excel but i doesent work.
Labview 8.6
Report generation toolkit ev 113

Johan1300,
It sounds like you are writing a 2-D Array of doubles to excel. The Excel Easy Table.vi converts numerics to strings before writing data to excel. It is written to always use 3 decimal places. You need to convert your 2-D array of doubles to strings before writing the info to excel. Here are a couple of ways to make the conversion. The top method is based on how the Excel Easy Table.vi makes the conversion. Note that in both examples the format string constant sets the number of decimal places to 8.

Problem when execute report Conversion Tool XI 3.0 on a client

Hi everyone,
When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.
I believe that RCT can not open the document to migrate.
All it's OK when I use RCT since the Webi Server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have install all the client tool (even SDK, Query Web Service) except Assitant migration source de données, Gestionnaires Vues d'entreprise et Gestionnaire de traduction.
I think I have a problem of rights on my Windows 2003 Server because in the log of conversion (C:Documents and SettingsUtilisateurLocal SettingsTempconversionUSER146731693logsD30860242.xml)
the following lines are written :
Note that I do the conversion with the Administrator login.

Report Conversion Tool - problem with logging in table OBJ_G_MIGRATION

Hello Community-Members,
since several days I am searching different BO-Communities for a solution, but I didn't find any threats about my problem.
I am new to BO XI R3.1 and I want to convert deski-reports with the report conversion tool.
I tried it directly on the server-machine and all is ok (report is converted inclusive the logging in the audit-table OBJ_G_MIGRATION).
When I try it on my client-machine, the conversion is made successfully, but there is no result in the audit-table.
On the client-machine, I use the same connection like on the server machine and on both machines, I am logged on (in the report conversion tool) with the "Administrator"-user.
Has anyone an idea? Could it be a problem of user-rights in the Oracle-DB?
kind regards
Guenny

Hello Denis,
thank you for your reply.
From my client machine I can successfully test the connection to the Audit-DB. With non BO-Tools like "SQL Tools1.4.1" I can also connect to that DB.
After your reply I have tested once again and I have found something else strange.
If I convert a deski-report, and the conversion-status is "not converted", the Audit-DB is written (for example: error-text = "document cannot be read" / workaround = "remove protection password if set").
But when I convert the same report together with an other report, which will result in "partially converted", nothing is written to the Audit-DB (same effect as when I convert only reports with status "partially convertet").
regards
Guenny

Report Conversion Tool error

iam using software 3.1
Iam facing below issue ,while converting deski to webi reports

Hi Raghu,
Try this idea: run it on server. Other user suggest the Windows version as the reason. if does not run, reinstall the Tool, maybe something is corrupted.

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

Report Generation Toolkit Excel errors and Libraries, Classes

Hello All,
I'm using the Report Generation toolkit Excel functions to handle some data and create graphs. I'm running into problems with the Add Worksheet.vi. At the very start of the vi, it closes the reference to Shapes. Occasionally, the Close Ref will throw an error. I haven't pinned down the exact cause yet (probably an invalid reference). The error itself wouldn't be a problem. Under other circumstances I would choose to ignore it and continue on. The problem is, this is stored in a Class Library controlled by NI.
Solutions I've tried without success:
1.) Make changes, and save the new vi with another name - can't do it because it's encapsulated and the Library is password protected.
2.) Install toolkit in something other than the default folder, so I can make changes and put it under Source Control - installer doesn't allow a new path to be entered.
3.) Change the vi where it is. This works until I move the source to another computer or I update Labview. At that point I lose all my changes.
Maybe it's just my inexperience with Classes, but I just don't see an elegant solution to this. Ultimately I'd like to copy the library off to somewhere else and put it under Source Control so I can make changes and additions to it (NI folks - providing a password to unlock the lib would be helpful...). Does anyone have suggestions on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks in Advance,
Doug

Hi Ben,
Sorry about the first post. After re-reading it, it sounds more like a frustrated rant than a request for help.
I've attached a simplified vi to try to illustrate the problem I'm having. I'm running Excel 2007. Please open the vi, then open Excel Add Worksheet.vi. At the start of the vi, Close Ref for Excel.Shapes occasionally throws an error. So far, I have not been able to consistently reproduce the error, so I can't really troubleshoot it. As I recall, the error code is 1045. The error is carried through the rest of the vi, causing invalid references to be written to Excel._Worksheet and Excel.Shapes, going out to NI_report.ctl.
So, here are the issues I'm running into (other than the error itself):
1.)Short of closing and reopening the file, there is no way to recover from the error. After the error, there is an invalid reference in Excel._Worksheet. There is no vi available to regenerate references in NI_report.ctl. I could easily write a vi to start from Excel._Application and re-read them, but because NI_report.ctl is in a Class library (controlled and passworded by NI), I can't add the vi to the library.
2.) I found that I could ignore the error by wiring around it. If I disconnect Error Out from Excel.Shapes Close Ref and wire Error In from Excel.Sheets.Count to the Error In of the Close Ref, everything works fine. Under other circumstances, I'd save this with a new vi name (because functionality changed) and continue on. But, because the vi is part of a Class library (controlled and passworded by NI), I can't do this. I can save the vi with the modifications (because Excel Add Worksheet.vi is not passworded), but if I pass the source off to someone else, they will have to make the same changes on their installation of the NI Report Generation Toolkit.
Again, I can't reproduce the error with any regularity. I've run the example vi I provided a few times and everything seems to work fine. If I come up with something, I'll repost. If you (or anyone) has an idea of what could be failing or if they've seen the problem, I'd appreciate a comment.
Thanks again,
Doug

Need to export OBIEE report in native excel format

Dear All,
Apologies if this issue has been discussed earlier in this forum. I am posting this afresh since I could not find a proper thread pertaining to this problem.
Here is a snapshot of my issue:-
While exporting a report in excel this exports this in mhtml format instead of native excel. As a result, the generated files are way bigger than expected and every day we are receiving multiple complaints from the end users. We tried to fix this by changing the messages files as mentioned in few blogs but could not make this work. Our current reporting system is on 11.1.1.6.
In some of the online blogs I read that this issue is supposed to be resolved in 11.1.1.7. Can any one please confirm if this is indeed the case? Also, if any one can advise of any other resolutions it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Vbez1,
Thanks for your response.
The way we are working at the moment is :-
1. Ask users to download in .csv if they just need raw data
2. While storing/sending the .xls files we have asked them to save the file as a excel workbook
However no workaround could be achieved for the reports sent as excels by agents(clogging spaced in user's mailboxes) or actual download volume of the formatted excel reports (excel taking an awfully long time to open the files).
As you mentioned, I heard that this issue was fixed on 11.1.1.7. Since this version is released for more than a quarter now, I wondered if someone out there can confirm that this has happened really.

Sudarshana

CF Report Builder and Excel format

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to display a report in excel format in report builder. It shows the data, but I do not find the print button options, whereas I can see it with other formats. Is this the way it is, or do I need to format anything more within my report for showing up the print button option?This is only happening for excel format
Thanks

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?
I am getting XML Publisher report output in excel format by using options tab while submitting the concurrent request .
But i want to get excel output automatically.
Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
Thanks in advance
Sandeep V

Hey Sandeep,
I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
Thanks,
Sunil
