Revised "Generate Excel Report" Example

I recently answered a question from a Forum user about an error encountered when trying to generate an Excel spreadsheet with the Report Generation Toolkit. I thought that the example code he was using was "unusual" and overly complex, and just discovered that it was, in fact, the LabVIEW 2013 "Generate Report From Template (Excel)" Example.
In the spirit of trying to demonstrate how nice the new(er) "Easy Excel" functions are, I rewrote this Example, and have attached it here. While doing so, I discovered (and have reported to NI) a "bug/feature" of the Excel Insert Graph function. One of its parameters allows you to position the graph by specifying the Left and Top edges (Left would be the Excel Column, Top would be the Excel Row). The only problem is that the parameters are reversed -- to put the graph on Row 1, Column G, you specify (0, 6), not (6, 0). Oops ...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is a Snippet, in LabVIEW 2012, of the Excel Demo (the Revised Generate Excel Report Example). If you have LabVIEW 2012 or more recent, you should be able to drag this into a blank Block Diagram and have the VI "magically" created. If you have an earlier version of LabVIEW, you can at least see a picture of all the VIs and wiring here, and can open LabVIEW and "build it yourself". There are no Case statements, so nothing is hidden from view. In case the image is too small, I also attached the PNG file, which you should be able to open with an Image Viewer and potentially print out for yourself.

XML Publisher to generate Excel reports

Can we use RTF template to generate Excel reports? Is all the process the same or do I need to do some additional set ups? Also, can I create a custom report , set the output format to xml and run XML Publisher on the top of it to generate output of my choice? HAs anybody tried this? or is it possible only in standard reports?
Pl help. This is v urgent , i need to design my process flow accordingly
Thanks much

Hi
Yes you can generate Excel from an RTF template - there are some limitations. The Excel in this case is not binary Excel - its XHTML and the mime type is set so that Excel opens it.
So, you can not embed formulae, macros, etc in the RTF template and get the Excel output to execute them.
You second question is what Publisher is all about, give it XML data and a layout of your choice and then pick the output format you want.

Generating Excel report from java by using POI

Hi
Im trying to generate the report in Excel using POI. Im retrieving the data from the table. As per my query its having millions of records.
For example, Im giving the sheet name as below given
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("SampleReport_01");
In a single sheet, 65000 records can be displayed. Im checking this condition also. It exceeds 65000 records, the records will be dislayed in the next sheet "SampleReport_02","SampleReport_03" and so on. Im incrementing this count 01, 02 , 03 and so on.
While generating the report, its giving out of memory exception.
Can anyone suggest, this is because of huge volume of data? If so, how to handle this one.
Thanks in Advance
Dhilip

your workbook object is in the jvm memory. putting so much data in it while working with it will take memory allocated to jvm.
better solution is to make a .csv file. Add the data in it with through append (check this [http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/faq/faq0086.html|http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/faq/faq0086.html] ) .
latter import the .csv file into excel sheet manually.

Image in generated excel report

Hi to all,
I am creating an excel report by following the demo in otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html. However I need to include an image to the excel output. Initially, when I made the layout design in excel, I am able to embed the image through the insert -> picture from file function in excel but when I converted it to HTML and JSP, it was converted as an img tag with a source pointing to an image file in a directory. When I generate the excel report, there is no image and I am left with transparent box that act as a placeholder for the missing image. Does anyone know how the image can be embedded to the excel report when it is generated?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi swati,
If we want to display an image which located in sharefolder based on ID, we can refer to the following steps:
Insert an image in the design surface, select External format as the image source.
In “Use this image” tab, click the fx button to add the expression like below:
="File://" + Fields!FolderPath + "/" + User!UserID + ".jpg"
The link below is for your reference:
File URIs in Windows
Hope this helps.

Webutil error while generate excel form

Hi
In my forms appl. I use webutil in order to generate excel reports
I have to midtier instances both running on a separate host.
End users connect through a WLB frontend.
At one of the midtiers, when generating a excel report using webutil "error while running kit"
No errors appear in any log on the midtier. On a log table in the database ORA-12703 appears but I'm not sure if thats related.
On the other midtier, with the same compiled forms using the same database it works fine.
Does anyone have a clue?
reg.

Hi
Are you talking about adobe forms or smartforms. These are 2 different types of forms. For Adobe forms you need an ADS which sits on the java stack and needs to be configured properly. Some services need to be activated in SICF for the configuration as well. A conplete guide on how to configure the ADS is found on the following link
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe?rid=/webcontent/uuid/90355269-4d89-2a10-0bb9-f388704f1dcd]

RemoteMartException exception while saving generated Excel file

I am getting RemoteMartException exception while saving generated Excel report in our production system. We are using Brio query and classes in sqrib package to create an excel file.
We did NOT make any changes in the application code recently, suddenly this problem started coming, We also observed that only limited number of users are affected. For other no issues.
Is there any change in directory properties such as “owner” would result in this behavior? How to find out the location of user directories where the reports are getting stored?
