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.
Good Luck

Not able to save report output in a text file and RTF file

I am using Oracle Developer6.0 . I am facing problem with reports. I am invoking reports from form using run_product.
1. I could not able to save the report in text file . Whenever i try to save the report output in a text file.It gives dump and application get closed.
2. In RTF format , it execute the query which i have given at the design time while creating a report . But while running i am passing query either through lexical parameter or passing value of where criteria user parameters. It display the output for the specified value. But when i save this report output in rtf file . It execute design time query and save that in a rtf file.
If any body is having any idea about it . Please let me ASAP . It is very urgent for me.
Thanks in advance

Try the following:
Do not generate the report to .rep file, but rename/copy the .rdf file to .rep file and execute it.

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.

Downloading Report output to a Local File

Hi,
I want to download the my ALV Report output to a local file.
I am following the menu options from ALV output:
LIST --> Export --> Local File --> Unconverted Format --> I entered a text file name on the desktop.
The data is being downloaded to Local text file, but some columns are missing.
I don't know what is the reason? Can anybody tell what may be the reason?
Has anybody come across this issue earlier?
Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Sreenivas Reddy.

Hi Nagaraju ,
You can use the FM 'LIST_DOWNLOAD' to download the list.
see the code below .
START-OF-SELECTION.
Write: / 'test1' ,
       / 'Test2'.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
   LIST_INDEX                = '0'
   METHOD                    = 'NOCO'

Need Help: Could WEBI report directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed?

In 3.0, Could WEBI reports directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed, after exporting to BOE platform?
I've made a test on that and find out WEBI report could not be freshed in Infoview while DESKI report could.
Some colleague suggest me to build the WEBI report based on a Universe created based on the EXCEL file.
I want to confirm, is it a by-design that we could only refresh WEBI report based on universe? or I could do some setting to made the refreshment of WEBI based directly on EXCEL file works?
Please Help!! Thanks a lot~~~

Hi Rachel,
You could try the Rich Client Product Guide [http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_web_intelligence_rich_client_en.pdf] but I don't think it is a problem...more like a feature by design - it makes sense.
You could try the route of creating a universe on top of excel... See posts
[DBMS Independent universe;
[how to connect to excel sheet and create a universe on top of that;
Hope this helps

Financial Reporting - Scheduling a Batch to Output/Email an Excel File

We're using version 9 and have no good way to systematically schedule a batch report and have the output saved/emailed as an Excel file, only pdf. Is this functionality in version 11? Has anyone developed creative alternatives?
Thanks

You may be able to utilize Excel and SmartView VBA features to achieve the same goal as this. With enhanced security in the newer realeases of Excel automacally sending emails could be a bit tricky, but if you look around on the web you should be able to find something with this ability. I'm not sure that you could use an FR report, but a report utilizing HSGetValue or ad-hoc functionality should function.

Alv output- download to excel file

Hi
I have ALV report. My requirement is
For example i have 10 records in my ALV output.
I want to download first 5 data to excel file.
so i need to select the data and click the button download in alv screen. I created the download button in ALV screen.
how to write coding for this

Hi Kumar K,
U can do it by feeling another internal table from the final internal table which u displayed...
suppose u want the record 5 to 12 then
LOOP AT itab FROM 5 TO 12.
Append itab to itab2.
ENDLOOP.
So now Itab2 contains record 5 to 12...
Logic:
Create one Custom Button ... Now For Sy-ucomm of that button... provide popup window with FROM and TO parameters...
Then using Loop... Endloop... select that much records form internal table to another internal table say itab2...
Now using GUI_DOWNLOAD or WS_DOWNLOAD or any other FMs and pass the internal table to this FM...
For more information on LOOP Syntax...
LOOP AT itab - cond
Syntax
... [FROM idx1] [TO idx2] [WHERE log_exp].
Extras:
1. ... FROM idx1
2. ... TO idx2
3. ... WHERE log_exp
Effect
The table rows to be read in a LOOP-loop can be limited by optional conditions; if no conditions are specified , all rows of the table are read.
Addition 1
... FROM idx1
Effect
The specification FROM is only possible with standard tables and sorted tables. This specification only accepts table rows starting from table index idx1. For idx1, a data object of the type i is expected. If the value of idx1 is smaller or equal to 0, then it will be set to 1. If the value is larger than the number of table rows, the loop is not passed through.
Addition 2
... TO idx2
Effect
The specification TO is only possible with standard tables and sorted tables. The specification only accepts table rows after table index idx2. For idx2, a data object of the type i is expected. If the value of idx2 is smaller or equal to 0, then the loop will not be passed. If the value is larger than the number of table rows, then the value will be set to the number of rows. If idx2 is smaller than idx1, then the loop is not passed as well.
Addition 3
... WHERE log_exp
Effect
WHERE can be specified with all table-types. After WHERE, you can specify any logical expression log_exp in which the first operand of any singular comparison is a component of the internal table. For this reason, all logical expressions are possible except for IS ASSIGNED, IS REQUESTED and IS SUPPLIED. Dynamic specification of a component through bracketed character-type data objects is not possible. Loops at sorted tables must have compatible operands of the logical expression. All rows are read for which the logical expression is true.
Notes
The logical expression specified after WHERE is analyzed once at entry into the loop. Possible changes of the second operand during loop processing are not taken into account.
While with standard tables all rows of the internal table are checked for the logical expression of the WHERE- addition, with sorted tables and hash tables (as of Release 7.0) you can achieve optimized access by checking that at least the beginning part of the table key in sorted tables and the entire table key in hash tables is equal in the logical expression through queries linked with AND. Optimization also takes effect if the logical expression contains other queries linked with AND with arbitrary operators.
Hope it will solve your problem..
Thanks & Regards

Hi
Your pgm is not passing anything in obj_descr in packing list for excel file. If you pass a name your excel file will have that.

Portal : JSP : Output in an Excel File.

Hi,
I am unable to get the output on a JSP Page in Microsoft Excel
I am trying to generate an Excel Report from my Portlet. I am picking up the data for the Report from Oracle Internet Directory.
I have created a simple JSP file ( as a Portlet ) and deployed it on Oracle App Server. I then registered a new Provider for the deployed JSP Page and added the JSP as a Portlet in a new Portal Page.
I am trying the following code snippet in the JSP :
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"%>
I get this weird error :
AbstractResourceRenderer.renderBody - received IOException
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Media Type of a TextResponseWrapper must start with "text/"
If I am correct, Portal should support this feature. I must be able to publish reports to an Excel File.
I am new to Oracle Portal and I find this strange. The JSP page works fine in JDeveloper, but when I access it via Oracle Portal, I get the " UnsupportedEncodingException ".
I posted my question on Metalink and was told to post my question in this forum.
I am not sure if I need to post any other information or Configuration Settings - please do let me know if any other information is necessary.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Ok,
After many sleepless nights and a long struggle, we were able to arrive at a workaround - simple & something that works.
We created a Servlet ( not a Portlet ) that generates the Excel File. The Servlet is not a Portlet and as such is not restricted in the content-types that it can use. We let the user arrive at this Servlet via a simple HTML link.
Well, that's about it ! I just wanted to post this so that anyone else tearing their hair apart with the same issue can find some solutions.
Still, I strongly feel that a superb product like Oracle Portal should support the various content types.........

Sandeep

Oracle Matrix Rpt output to Microsoft Excel File

I am looking for a solution that would take my current Oracle 9i matrix report output directly to an excel file. I have clients that need to see the report not in a pdf format(which I currently use) but in an excel format.
Thanks,

You could either use:
a) DELIMITED output, assuming that the matrix isn't too large.
b) DELIMITEDDATA output, which will just give you a dump of the data, and you'd need to construct the cross tab directly.
c) In you're using 9i, then you could use jsp tags to output directly into an Excel html file (this could get pretty complicated for a matrix report). See an example of this at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
