Runtime error when exporting to Excel

Hi
I'm new to this so pardon my mistakes.
When i try to export a report (viewed in cystal reports in SAP) to excel, a runtime error occurs and forces SAP business one to close.
In some reports, the export to excel icon on the menu bar is active, but in some it is grayed out.
Please Help with this issue
Win XP
SAP 8.82 PL 15
Crystal reports 2008 runtime engine sp3

Hi Nagarajan,
Sorry i do not have the screenshot but this is what the error says:
" Runtime error !
Program : C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One\SAP Business One.exe
This application has requested to Runtime to terminate in an unusual way
Please, contact the application's suport team fore more information. "
The excel version is 2007.
Export using other formats (pdf,word, xls data only) work fine. Its only xls with full formatting that generates the error.
The report being exported is viewed in crystal reports within SAP.
Thanks,
Aziz

Error when exporting to Excel for SharePoint 2010 List

We have few users who are getting the following error message when they try to export to Excel from the SharePoint list:
"An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed. If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the driver file isn’t damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by reinstalling Microsoft Query. For other drivers, contact
your database administrator or driver vendor.‘
The export option works for me on my machine and also tested it out on other users' machines without issues. The list is currently holds 29763 items.
1. Created a view that filter the list to show few items, and the user was able to export without issues.
2. Followed the steps in the following Blog:
http://www.sharepointserverrecovery.com/blog/troubleshooting-problems-when-exporting-sharepoint-list-data-to-excel-spreadsheet-and-fixing-database-corruption/ and the user was able to export the original list.
3. My colleagues and I don't have any issues exporting to Excel. (Note: even my test account, that does not have any special permissions or members of any SharePoint group(s)).
4. Some Blog/Forums suggest to increase Threshold limit in Central Admin, which we don't want to do, since the issue only affect certain users.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot/resolve the issue?
Thanks,
Yassar

Do they have to export all the information or is a subset of it ok?
Creating an index on the columns that your users interact with the most and then creating views that limit the returned results will be useful. This will then allow an export.

Error when exporting to excel (.xls)

Everytime I try and export my spreadsheet to excel, it says "an error has occurred" and nothing happens. I'm not using special text or something, it's in Times New Roman. How can I fix this error?

Hi sunandmoon,
Welcome to Number '08 discussions.

LSCompatibility plug-in error when exporting to EXCEL partial workaround

hey guys. i had a big project at work today that i needed to turn in and when i went to export my file to excel it just kept dying out on me. anyway, i looked at my spreadsheet and decided to remove all the drop down menus and just replace them with the answers. it worked right away! so, obviously we shouldn't need to do this. but for now, use it, it works.

I'm really surprised because here, I may export flawlessly documents with Pop-up Menu items to Excel.
Of course I get the alert explaining that this kind of item is not recognised by XL and that they will be replaced by the values of the cells.
May I know the number of Pop-up Menu cells in your document?
Maybe there is a limit to the number of "problematic" cells.

Safari "Runtime Error" when exports bookmarks on PC

Hi folks.
I have a problem with Safari v 5.1.7 (7534.57.2).
When i export the bookmark to an folder, i get...
... and Safari shutsdown. I think the problem appears after i install iCloud Control Panel and now is syncing with iCloud directly.
Anyway... Apple should fix this.
PS: Apple should create a particular subject only for the softwares, like "Apple Support Communities > Safari > Safari on my PC".
Waiting.. lol
Thanks.

SSRS XML Errors when exporting to .xlsx from Dynamics NAV Database

We use Dynamics NAV for our ERP and have many SSRS reports. We get xml Errors when exporting to Excel .xlsx. I've seen this happen since SQL 2008 R2 and have posted in many places trying to find an answer, but was hoping MS would solve the
issue. The numeric data types in the Dynamics NAV database are all decimal(38,20) and when the value is zero the Excel renderer throws the errors.
We now have over 400 reports and we export them to Excel 2003 format. I'm starting to feel like this is my new Y2K issue when Excel 2003 is set to sunset. I'm fearing that I'll have to do conversions on all numeric data types for all reports.
Both of these are Microsoft products so I'm wondering is this even on their radar.
We're running SQL Server 2012 SP2, and just rolled out CRM 2015 on SQL Server 2014. I get the errors in SSRS 2008R2, 2012, and 2014. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Skywalker73,
According to your description, when you export the report to Excel, the error “Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.” throws out when opening the Excel file.
Based on my research, it has reported the same issue when exporting to Excel. The issue could cause by numeric columns has a precision of 16 or higher. To fix the issue, we could change data type in the table to a support lower precision, or convert
the numbers in the stored procedure that populates the report. For more information, please refer to this article:
SSRS 2012 Bug – “Excel found unreadable content”. Besides, please refer to this
article to check if non-printing characters exist in the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Error: -43..when exporting to Excel

Hi All
A client gets Error: -43 [863-29], when exporting a list to excel.
I cant seem to find what the error means.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jerusha

From SAP Note number 864829
When exporting to excel via Business one , this error occurs if user does not have the correct permissions on the folder he has chosen to save the data in.
Solution
Verify user permissions on the folder.
User must have the correct permissions ie read and write on the folder.
Give user the necessary permissions to be able to save to that folder.
These rights can be given by the local Administrator.

Frederic

Getting Runtiime error while exporting to Excel 97-2000 format (URGENT)

Post Author: net_us2001
CA Forum: Exporting
Hello Everyone,
This is my first time in this forum.
I am getting runtime error while exporting the report in EXCEL 97-2000, but exporting perfactly in MS-EXCEL (Data only) format.
I found the reason is, using expression (formula) for formatting phone number as shown below.
On table field "abPhone",
used "formula = PhoneFormat() " expression on format field -> common tab -> display string .
Intead that i have used fumula e.g. test1 and used same expression, then it was exporting perfactly..
Having above problem if i use expression to supress group header and report header.
So let me know if anyone can help, why it was giving error in first case.
Thanks in advance
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
This is the Technical limitation of ABAP list export to local file.
ALV grid greater than 1023 characters per line will be split into 2 lines.
To prevent a line break occuring when you download the list as a local spreadsheet file, you must reduce the width of the list in ALV. You can do this either by hiding columns or by changing the column widths in the ALV. Take care that the column heading characters also dont exceed 1023 characters. This will work.
Thanks

How can we correct this?

Ok, I figured out my issue.
It seems that you have to graph the data, before you can change any graph attributes, even though I have done that before.
Once I put the axis, title, etc after the graphing, then it worked. Well, I also had specified my range wrong, so that errored out too.
Thank you for the help.
Also, how to you get a reference to the Chart Wizard through the excel activex?
I posted a snippet. You can take it from there. I do not remember how I got it before. I have not had to change it in six to seven years. I remember going through the MSDN and found the function. I think I made it from scratch to match the MSDN..

Runtime Error when Posting Invoice with text added (MIRO)

Hi Gurus,
We are getting a shortdump (runtime error) when we post certain invoices in MIRO. This happens when we input some text in the text field or add some text to the NOTE tab.
We are having exception ERROR_DP raised in the program c_textedit_control.
If the text field is blank and nothing is writing in the NOTE tab, the invoice gets posted with no problem.
Has anyone come accross this issue before and how did you solve it please.

Reports output delayed when exported to Excel using OLE2

Hi All,
Platform - Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.3 on Windows 32 bit.
The report output is getting generated in a minute when exported to PDF i.e destype=cache & desformat=pdf. When we generate the output to excel is considerably delayed. It is taking time and internal server error is occuring.
1) Report developed with simple query
2) Used RPT2XLS procedure which uses OLE2 builtin to export report output into excel.
3) Called RPT2XLS.run procedure in After-Report trigger of the report.
4) We have relased all memory objects in the RPT2XLS package after exporting data and there is no EXCEL.exe running once the file is generated.
System parameters used in the URL.
. destype=file
desformat=pdf
CONTAINSOLE=yes (Required for exporting OLE2 objects into Excel in report)
desname=path & name of the file.
I have gone through the tuning documents for reports server and increased minengine, maxengine and initengine parameters of the reports engine and also changed maxconnect and IdleTimeout parameters in reports server configuration file.
What might be the reason for delaying in the output of the reports when exported to Excel. Can the guys with special knowledge on this area help us in getting out of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

hey all,
Thanks everyone for the reply.
I am using the foloowing field cat:
l_col_pos = l_col_pos + 1.
    wa_fieldcat-col_pos = l_col_pos.
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
     wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
     wa_fieldcat-inttype   = 'P'.
*    wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'i_final'.
    wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = text-t11.         "Target Value
    APPEND wa_fieldcat TO i_fieldcat.
    CLEAR wa_fieldcat.
I have use this also in the field cat but stil i get space in the excel header.
wa_fieldcat-REF_FIELDNAME = 'SOLLWERT'.
*    wa_fieldcat-REF_TABNAME = 'QAMV'.
Also the space comes with the descrip[tion in the cell of excel.
its like [space Target Value] and i dont need this Space.
I have also used wa_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'. but it doesnt wrk.
Please suggest

Runtime Error when starting Lightroom

I'm currently on day 12 or so of my trial with Lightroom. I've spent quite a few hours getting to know LR by retouching and cataloging over 8 years of photos. So far, aside from a few in-program bugs that I found a way to work around, I've been super-happy with it (especially the powerful keywording/metatagging system: amazing!) and have been really seriously coughing up the huge wad of $$ when the trial's done. But....
For no reason, LR started giving me a Runtime Error when I tried to start it. Something along the lines of "This application requested Runtime to terminate it unusually."
So off to Google I went, where I knew I could probably search that error and fix it like I've done with countless other programs. Unfortunately nothing is working.
Here are the facts:
--I'm running a fully patched Vista machine.
--LR worked fine earlier this morning. I had 1.4 and didn't perform any upgrades or maintenance to it (that I know of) when it just gave me the error out of the blue today when I tried to start it.
--I tried holding CTRL when I start it, and it still gives the error.
--I tried deleting a .lock file (which did exist) but it still wouldn't start.
--I tried running the "repair" tool in the install...no good.
--I uninstalled LR, d/led it again, and re-installed it. IT WORKED!....one time. I was able to run it, checked to make sure my cataloging was still intact (it was - phew!) and even deleted a folder I didn't want in it. Then I closed it. I tried re-opening it a few hours later and I got the SAME ERROR!
I sure hope someone can help because I'm at my wit's end.

This is disgusting. I've pounded away for over 4 hours and I finally found a workaround. Here's the original post that had my answer:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05ac2f
The short of the story: if I put lightroom.exe into Windows XP compatibility mode" it will work. (To do that, for anyone else who comes across this, you just right-click your lightroom icon, click PROPERTIES, and go to the Compatibility tab and check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)")
I've loaded it up half a dozen times and it's still working perfectly as far as I can tell. Hopefully it won't hurt anything keeping it in that mode.
I'm glad this happened early enough into my trial that I'll have ample opportunity to see if it repeats itself. I'm not keen on sinking $300 into software that will give me ulcers as I troubleshoot problems like this.

Header of ALV with space when exported to excel using Standard ALV

Hi,
I am Using Reuse alv grid display    to dispaly my report and it works fine and I am using the standard SAP application tool to export it to excel.
But for some of the header fields I am getting space in the excel sheet but there is no space while displaying through ALV.
I am using the following field catalog for the same.
wa_fieldcat-col_pos = 10.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'text-t10'.      "Target value (* this has no space here)
wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
wa_fieldcat-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
APPEND wa_fieldcat to it_fieldcat.
but there are still space for this Colomn when exported to excel if after optimizing the column.
kindly suggest what field needs to be passed to the field catalogoe to avoid spaces in excel for the header.
Thanks
Ritesh

hey all,
Thanks everyone for the reply.
I am using the foloowing field cat:
l_col_pos = l_col_pos + 1.
    wa_fieldcat-col_pos = l_col_pos.
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
     wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
     wa_fieldcat-inttype   = 'P'.
*    wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'i_final'.
    wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = text-t11.         "Target Value
    APPEND wa_fieldcat TO i_fieldcat.
    CLEAR wa_fieldcat.
I have use this also in the field cat but stil i get space in the excel header.
wa_fieldcat-REF_FIELDNAME = 'SOLLWERT'.
*    wa_fieldcat-REF_TABNAME = 'QAMV'.
Also the space comes with the descrip[tion in the cell of excel.
its like [space Target Value] and i dont need this Space.
I have also used wa_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'. but it doesnt wrk.
Please suggest

Formatting lost when exported to excel

When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

SSRS 2012 Conditional Formatting Color Issues When Exporting to Excel

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 from SQL2008 R2. I'm having a strange issue with SSRS2012.
One of the report has conditional formattings on cell background colors. Everything works fine when render the report in browser or preview mode. However, the conditional formatting stop working when export the report to Excel (no issues if
export to pdf). All cells are high-lightened with pre-defined color although it should only high-lighten those cells that fulfil the condition.
Has someone encountered this issue before ? Thanks for any help.

Hi ZZ02,
I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to Excel format. The issue might be related to the expression for the conditional background color. To make further analysis, please post the expression as well
as the report design structure.
Additionally, in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010, the format of which is ExcelOpenXML. By default, the previous version of the Excel rendering extension,
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, is disabled. At this time, I suggest that you enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension by modifying the RSReportServer.config file. After that, the Excel 2003 rendering format will be available on report manager (not
available in Report Designer). So, please export the report from report manager and check the result again.
For more information about enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension, please see:
