Save as excel problem

Post Author: Marco Nardelli
CA Forum: Deployment
hi everyone
I'using BO 6.5.1 and I try to export different BO reports (about 200 rows) to excel 2000 SR-1.
But when I try to open the xls file it doesn't work.
I reduced the number of rows exported from BO and excel works fine.
At the end I reduced the BO report to the first 4 rows, because when I included the fifth row I got the problem.
So I thought I found the critical row - it can have a strange character
or something like that in one of its columns, I thought...
But if I export to xls a report with only this fifth rows it always works fine.
In this sense I found many critical rows
anyone can give me an explanation for this apparently strange behaviour?
thanks to everyone
ciao

BO 6.5 : save as excel (problem date)

hi,
i've a query result in BO with a date "31/12/2099". This date come from an oracle db file.
I save it into xls (save as) but the result in xls give me "30/12/1900".
It is the same for date greater than 31/12/2099.
for date < 1900 the result is 01/01/1900 !!!!
I think the problem is to resolve the date in two positions (YY) to four positions (YYYY)
is it possible to bypass de transformation ?
an idea to correct this ?
thanks

Hi,
Following solution might be helpful in resolving the issue.
A workaround for this issue is to select the entire document, go to Edit > Copy All, and then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. You will get the correct dates and the table will remain in the same format as the original *.rep document. You can then do further calculations in the Excel spreadsheet.
Note: If the *.rep document contains gaps, then they will not be pasted into the Excel spreadsheet unless you use "Paste Special". If you do this, then you will be able to view the data but you will not be able to do further calculations in the Excel spreadsheet.

How to save an excel file as CSV with semi-colon as data separator?

We are creating a flat data file to load the flat file data to our BW system with Excel. When we save the file, there are three kinds of CSV types for selecting from the "Save as type" list box:
CSV (Comma delimited)
CSV (Macintosh)
CSV (MS-DOS)
There is no CSV (semi colon delimited) type. If we pick CSV (Comma delimted) as the type, then when clicking the "Preview ..." picture icon under the "DataSource/Trans. Structure" tab of the InfoSource for this flat file (with the CSV radio button checked the Data separator default is ";"), the File Upload Preview window shows the data is messed up that some columns of the excel flat file are combined into one column.
Since the save type we picked is "CSV (Comma delimited)", then we try to change the default Data separator from ";" to "," in the preview selection screen, but still not helpful!
How to resolve the above problem?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
This "," is defined in your windows setting. If you want to have ";" as separator then go to control Panel, select Regional Options, go to Numbers Tab and define the List separator as ";". After that when you will save your excel file as CSV(MS-DOS) it will have ";" as separator. This will make sure that the amounts are not broken in to two different fields while loading.
Else if you keep "," as separator then you can also go into the Excel and define all number fields as Number without thousand separator.
Let me know if you have any doubts in this.

Rohit

Save via Excel-Toolbar vs. Save via BEx-Toolbar (InfoCatalog)

Hi all,
in the last time I occupy oneself with BW and BEx to automate querys. I think there are two ways to save an Excel-Workbook:
1. you can save it as workbook in the InfoCatalog (saveoption in the BEx toolbar)
2. or save it classical as .xls by Excel
Now my question: there are any reasons against Variant 2? I find its a little easier to write only one Excel-Workbook-Macro. For Variant 1 I need 2 Workbooks, one Autostart-Workbook that opens the sapbex.xla and the second Workbook from the InfoCatalog.
Is the choice only a matter of taste?
Best regards
Tim

Hello Sarhan,
thank you for the answer.
The security of the data storage is one site, but are there any reasons against Variant 2 because of missing functions? For example the option "refresh query after opening workbook" wont work with Variant 2. Its not a big problem, because you can manage it with a VBA-Code. Are with Variant 2 anticipate any trouble? Has anybody experience with Varinat 2?
Best regards

Cannot save the excel report in my application

Hi I wrote a program which can save the data to an Excel report. It runs perfectly on my own computer. After I built the application (exe file), and run it in another computer, which can not save the excel report. On my own computer, it has LabVIEW 2011 and report generation toolkit for Microsoftoffice; and on the other computer, I installed the LabVIEW runtime engine. Did I miss installing some other support software? Can anyone tell me why this is not working?
Thanks a lot,
Jane

Do you have Excel installed on the other computer?
I also suggest that you read this page : Including Report Generation VIs in Stand-Alone Applications (Report Generation Toolkit)
Hope this helps

Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
There is something to be said for clarity.
You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
That is all.

When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
File > Duplicate
File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
I posted several times a script editing this resource.
This morning I'm not in a mood allowing me to do your duty.

BusinessObjects SDK - Save as Excel functionality

Hi Experts,
I have a question for anyone experienced with the SDK and the BOBJ apis. We are presenting WEBI reports to Partners, so we want to display the reports without the toolbars and only show the reports. We do not want to confuse them will all the extras :). We have done this, but, we have now been asked to provide the "save as excel" functionality to the users while still keeping all the toolbars hidden. So our goal is to just add our own button that will call the same functionality as file -> save as excel. Does anyone know if there is a specific function we can call from the apis that will perform this action?
Second, and not sure if this is possible or not (hope it is). We also have some xcelsius reports displayed to the user in flash. We would also like to add the same functionality, giving the user the ability to click a button and save as excel. Does anyone know if there is a specific function within the xcelsius specific classes that would allow us to do this as well?
Thanks!
-Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you are using the Business Objects Enterprise BI 4.0 then you can modify the crystal report viewer format list where you can export to any particular format.
Please refer to the below mentioned Blog by Ted Ueda :
[SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise BI 4.0 - Modify the Crystal Reports Viewer Export Format List|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/22845]
As mentioned, you could only allow the excel format to be exported by your customers.

Save As Function Problems

Hi Guys
I hope you can help me, I'm fairly new to the MAC version of Excel and have always previously used Windows.
I recently purchased a MacBook Air and am really happy with it apart from the fact that when I try to save an Excel document to a specific folder it doesn't let me choose that specific folder, it only gives me a handful of options for where I can save. Can
you tell me a fix or give me some advice on how I can expand folders further when using the Save As function as with Windows?

Hello,
The current forum is for Windows-based developers and Excel specific programming questions. I'd suggest asking non-programming Office for MAC related questions in
the corresponding forum thread instead.

Add a "save as excel" button in CDZ viewer

I am currently using BOE XI R2. By default, under "Document", there is a function that allows me to Save the opened webi report into excel and pdf and other formats.
I am just wondering if it's possible to move that save-as-excel functionality out and put that as a one click button on the cdz viewer panel.

the save-as function as circled in red. and I would like to add that function into the main menu bar, as outlined with the orange box.
thank you very much in advance!

Hello nmohamm,
To examine the conversion settings in Acrobat, do the following:
1. Select Edit > Preferences
2. In the preferences dialog, select the "Convert From PDF" category.
3. In the "Converting From PDF" list, select "Excel workbook".
4. Click the "Edit Settings" button to view your conversion settings.

Save as list problem

I have a save as/export problem. Im using cs6 for windows and it shows me 6 options for saving as psd, psb, exr, raw, bitmap, radiance and tiff but there is no jpeg or pdf or any other options listed. How can I bring these options to this list? is it a problem like fixing acrobat X with a patch?

Hi,
Check under Image>Mode as it sounds like maybe your image is 32 bits/channel.
If you switch to 16 or 8 bits/channel then jpeg should become available.
