Reports Generated in Excel Format

Post Author: jase4now
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
When I schedule reports in the Excel format, it adds a blank row every other row, then shrinks it so that it is almost hidden. Is it possible to keep it from doing this?

Again, not sure if this will fix your precise problem, but generally speaking when you export to Excel, you'll get a shrunk and empty A column. To avoid this, move the report within WebI to the top left of the screen (takes some messing around) and the export will then be tidier.Andy

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?

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

Hi
we are on 12.0.6
All of our custom reports are defined with output format of pdf at the time of defining executable and program from sysadmin
Now there is a need by our costing department that they need all the finanical related reports in excel format

Displaying the report output in excel format

Please help me in getting the report output in excel format.
thnks

I ran into a BIG problem after passing from 6i rep server to 9i rep server.
On 6i rep server I used to set DESFORMAT='DELIMITED', and that produced reasonable tab-delimited output for reports that did not have group above (all the query groups were from left to right, not a single group having fields displayed above some other group). When deployed on rep server 9i, the same reports produced some unexplainable output: some of the rows were duplicated, but I couldn't figure out any rule.
So, the best thing to get the reports into something that fits in .xls would be to have the output in .xml, that may be imported in Excel.

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.
Regards,
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

exported excel sheet, but this didnot work.I am using excel 2007.
Can anyone tell me how to preserve the excel formatting for WAD template.

Hi Roy
Have you got the report set to bring back a specific number of rows at a time (ie retrieve data incrementally in sets of : setting in options)?
If so set this to a larger number of rows, Discoverer will then return all data when the reports is run and will export all data to the spreadsheet.
Hope this helps

Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                            ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);
Please note the following details about our environment:
<h5>Report Designers:</h5>CR Designer version: xi Rel 2
<h5>Developer environment</h5>Has the following installed:
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- VS .Net 2008
- Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008
- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP3
- Boxi .Net SDK
- SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools sp3
- .Net Version: 2.0
<h5>Crystal Server environment:</h5>Two clustered Business Objects Enterprise servers with the following installed & configured
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- Crystal Reports XI Release 2
- SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3
- .Net Version: 2.0
<h5>Web Servers:</h5>Two load balanced web servers with the following installed and configured
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP3
- Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .Net 2005 Server
- SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3
- .Net Version: 2.0

Umm, the code you provided has nothing to do with Business Objects Enterprise...(?). So, I'm a bit confused by the mention of BOE and "The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" in essentially one paragraph.
Can you pls explain?

Report output in excel format.

Dear Friends,
I have created a report in character mode and I want to store the output of that report into an excel file. So that data of each column with heading will be stored in seperate coulmns(with each row of output in each row in excel file).
Output as follows:-
EMPNO ENAME DEPT
0099 JOHN ART
0011 SMITH ENGG
and so on...
I hope I will get the solution quickly.
Thanks in advance.

Change the Locale settings when scheduling the report with an Excel format?

Hi,
My reports have been scheduled with Excel format, however, when the report is viewed in Excel, the date fields are in the format "mm/dd/yyyy" i.e. English(United States) and they need to be in the format "dd/mm/yyyy" i.e. English (Ireland).
I am wondering if there is any way to change the Locale settings within Business Objects?
For the time being users have been advised to manually change the format within excel, however, this is not the preferred option.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The cell format is set as "Date dd/mm/yyyy" but it still runs as an Excel doc with the format mm/dd/yyyy.
When I schedule the report to run as a Web Intelligence document and then manually export it to Excel, the Date format is correct i.e. dd/mm/yyyy.
Any more ideas?
Regards.
