Report output in MS Excel template

Hello all!
I should write a program to display reports APAP output in specific MS Excel template. I read that you can do using BDS.
There are other ways to do this? What is the most elegant way?
Thanks in advance!
Serena

It can be done with OLE or BDS.......
If you need a lot of formatting in your template like colours and borders etc then go for BDS as in case of OLE you need to code each and every property.
Check my wiki on the same....

Issue with Varchar2 field conversion for report output generated in EXCEL

Hello All,
I have an unique problem with one of my new reports for the User. The user wants the report output generated in excel data only(delimited data) format *(reports builder 10g)* .
Everything was fine until i encountered this problem, there was this field which has unique ID's(alphanumeric and numeric), when i tried to run the report and generate output in Excel the numeric ID's say for example *(41593497999679354429)* is converted in excel and displayed like *(2.5881E+19)* and after format cells in excel it displays *(41593497999679300000).*
The issue is only with 20 digits numeric ID's , if i append any special character to the end say '#' or '..' it shows the exact value along with the appended character. But the user insist they need only the value that is in the table. I am finding it hard to figure out, if any one of you have encountered the same issue or if any of you have any suggestions to overcome this excel conversion thing please do advice me.
Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for you response, but i already tried what you suggested, instead of appending single quote in front of ID, i did at the end prior with '#', it preserves the value if i add any character to the id but the appended value shows up too :(.
Well, i just got the solution and it did work, thanks to [Brian Hill|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=651632] for the post, i did what exactly he said and it worked. I was so very happy and wanted to share with everyone.

Translating a report which is using excel template

Hello,
We are working on a BI report using excel template. I've checked the report designer's user guide and it says template translation is a feature only supporting RTF and BI publisher layout template.
I am wondering what is the best practice for translating a report which is using excel template.
So far I have a alternative which is making all labels in my template dynamically getting values from HCM lookups , but this solution is time consuming.
Could anybody help here?
Regards
Buyun

Did you try reading sap help files which clearly explains about Managing templates, selecting templates, creating templates, deleting templates.

Report Time zone in Excel Template

Hi,
How can we display the TimeZone that is set in the BI Publisher Preferences. Is there anyway to display this timezone in Excel Template.
In RTF Template, 'm able to display it using ,
<?format-date:xdoxslt:sysdate_as_xsdformat();’dd-Mon-yy hh:mi:ss’?>, so whenever I change the Report Time Zone in BI Publisher , the output of RTF Template gets affected correctly.
But I have to do the same in Excel Template, Is there anyway to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

I found a way to display the parameter, but it shows the return value. Is there a way to show the display value as it is when submitting the report? For example i have a LoV as follows:
select test as display_value, 10 as return_value from dual and it is attached to a parameter. Then i define that parameter in the XDO_METADATA and display it to another sheet - it will display the return_value(TEST) ... Anybody knows how to output the display_value?
Thanks,
Alexander.

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

Forms sending report output horizantally in excel...

Hi....when I send my group above report output to exel it arranges each group horizantally. For example if there are two master groups 'A' & 'B' each of them having 500 child rows, then in excel fristly appears the Group 'A' with its 500 child records downwards. And group 'B' appears ahead of Group 'A' instead of down to Group 'A'. Is it not possible to arrange output in excel like that of oracle reports previewer???

Is there no one to answer this???

Creating multiple page report with single page excel template

Hi,
I have a created a single sheet excel template. When my LabVIEW program runs, I want to insert a data table in the excel report for each time the loop runs. Each time I add a new sheet in the report and add the data table. I want to get the same template in each new sheet. Please let me know how to insert the same template in each new sheet in the same file. Right now I need to create template file with 5-6 worksheets each with the same format.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to do the same you have suggested. As the "Save As" option does not work, I tried to copy the block diagram into a new vi but it gives the error. I am attaching here the screen shot of the same.

Single report output in multiple excel tabs?

Hi all.
Can we design a template such that the excel output is populated into tabs?
Otherwise, do I need to write 3 templates and define 3 layouts to show in three reports instead of tabs.
The user doesnt want to run the report thrice(selecting layouts). Instead, he would like to run the report once . is there any way that I can merge these three templates into a single rtf document such that it gives output in 3 tabs.

Error when trying to email report using Analyzer for Excel template

I have a report for which I have created both "RTF" and "Analyzer for Excel" based templates. I can email the report using the RTF template, but when I try to email it using the A4E template (using the 'Send' button from the report screen), it never arrives. If I schedule the report to be emailed, it fails, and I get the following error information:

HI,
Is this qury is running fine in SQL?? Have you checked this query in Sql server(Management studio) whether working or not??.
I feel there is some mismatch with relations in query.. Cross check your query once in SQL itself. once it is running well, we will take a look.

Hi Ardian B. Santoso,
1. Develop the Report in Character Mode.
2. Save the O/P to file.
3. And open the file with MS Excel.
I hope this would be helpful for U.
Have a Good Weekend.
