Save date in date format in workbook

Hi Gurus,
When I see the BEX report, the dates in the date column are in the date format. When I save it as work book and disconnect from BW, they are in the text format. So, when I try to sort it is doing in wrong way. Is there any way to save the dates in the date format only in the workbook.
Replies are appreciated
Thanks,

Hi:
The BEx method worked where you can derive a Key Figure Date from Characteristic Date.
I send you screen shots to your E-Mail becasuse its difficult to explain it all in Text. but its simple.
Process:
I hope you already created the Formula Variable that gets your Date.
If you have refer to thos doc. You will move your Dae Characteristic to a formula variable - Call it 'Date As Formula'.
http://www.sd-solutions.com/documents/SDS_BW_Replacement%20Path%20Variables.html
Next, Create a New Formula in BEX.
Go to Columns. Right Click on Key Figure and create a new formula.
Call it 'Days to Date'.
Here, insert the formula variable that u created:
'Date As Formula' - DATE ( 0 )
DATE is the Second formula in Data Functions.
THis will give you the number of days for your date.
Next:
Create another New Formula as shown above with name
Date from Characteristic
Here, pick the Process Value As Date again.
And in the parenthesis, insert the formula that you just created:
DATE ( 'Days to Date' )
Insert this in the query.
Let me know if you have any questions.

How to read csv Data and save it with no format changes

Hi,
At first I am not used to Diadem.
I want to read in a csv file do some calculation with the data and save the changed data in the same csv file. A file as an example is attached (496888_edit.csv).
Therefore I wrote this lines:
Dim i
Dim Delimiter
Dim FilePath
Dim FileParameters
Delimiter = ";"
Call DataFileLoad(FilePath,"CSV","Load")
' Do some calculations
FileParameters = "<filename>"&FilePath&"</filename>"&"<delimiter>"&Delimiter&"</delimiter>"
Call DataFileSave(FileParameters,"CSV")
After running that lines the csv file is looking like the other attached file (496888_after.csv)
Because of some reasons which I could not explain Diadem is rounding the numbers. I want that both files look the same.
What can I do?
There might be another extension. Just to read in some columns, doing some calculations and after the calculation saving that columns in the file instead of the originals. (The csv files are much bigger like the two examples)
Thanks,
Jens

The only thing that can be changed in writing float64 values using the CSV plugin is the decimal point ('.' or ',').
The format of the doubles is not rounded but the CSV writer only writes the relevant digits.
It is using up to 15 digits which is the resolution of float 64. It would also switch to scintific writing if necessary.
So there is no way to force only 6 digits and filling 0s are left out. So if you just fear that you loose precision that will not happen.
(only the typical problems of epressing a 2 system binary value in a 10 system text string)
If you are interested to have a fix float format the only solution is to write with VBS directly to a file doing formatting on your own, which is slow.

Report to Save data in XML format

Hi,
I am getting data in XML format through a RFC. I want this data to be saved as an XML file by opening a 'Save As' dialog box so that I can choose a destination and save the file there. Please provide me code for writing such a report program. It would be better if someone can provide me the area in SAP Help where I can find such material.
Thanks in advance!!

How can i save a data in text format

how can i save a data in text format in labwindows cvi
Message Edited by Tikoy on 04-14-2010 11:30 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
Hope this helps,

Date and Cost formats in export toward Excel (2013)

Hi,
I'm trying to export Start date and Cost of my project tasks to Excel:
File/Save as/ Excel Workbook...
but all these date and cost data arrive in Excel with Text format. With the 2003 version, date and cost formats were well recognized.
I'm using Project 2013 English and Excel 2013 English on a French Win 7.
What are the settings (decimal separator...) which are needed to allow this feature ?
Thanks

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your help.
The "Convert to Number" feature works fine for the Cost.
But the dates arrive as text with a long format such as "03 August 2015 08:00" and the =DateValue(Cell
reference) function returns an error : #VALUE!
Any idea to retrieve the dates?
Thanks again

I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

Hi,
If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
Regards,
Wiebe.

How to auto save output with date added to file name, and email the results?

Hi,
We found a script to capture disk space usage, that automatically places the results into an Excel file. We would like the script to autosave this file to a specific directroy with the date ran as part of teh file name. We would then like these results to
be emailed to us if possible. (also if possible to highlight cell in red that is 5% OR less available disk space would be great)
Here is what we have:
$erroractionpreference = “SilentlyContinue”
$a = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$a.visible = $True
$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)
$c.Cells.Item(1,1) = “Machine Name”
$c.Cells.Item(1,2) = “Drive”
$c.Cells.Item(1,3) = “Total size (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,4) = “Free Space (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,5) = “Free Space (%)”
$c.cells.item(1,6) = "Name "
$d = $c.UsedRange
$d.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
$d.Font.ColorIndex = 11
$d.Font.Bold = $True
$d.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
$intRow = 2
$colComputers = get-content "C:\Servers.txt"
foreach ($strComputer in $colComputers)
$colDisks = get-wmiobject Win32_LogicalDisk -computername $strComputer -Filter “DriveType = 3"

VBA:comboboxes to present same date in different formats...ADAPT WITH CHANGE IN DATE

Hi all,
I'm very new to VBA and excel development, so please take that into consideration as you read on.
I'm trying to create a work form for a database that (should) collect various information in comboboxes, including the date, the weekday, and the month... Note: most of the time, the data will be inserted the day after it's been collected. So, I wanted to create
one combobox for the date, one for the weekday, and one for the month, because I want columns for each of these in the database (If this is not necessary/efficient, please help! :) ) .
Here's what I've got so far:
'worksheet setup
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("LookupList")
'Date dropdown setup
Dim cDateToday As Range
For Each cDateToday In ws.Range("DateList")
With Me.cboDate
.AddItem cDateToday.Value
End With
Next cDateToday
'If today is Monday, then set date to last friday, if any other weekday, set it to day before that
If Weekday(Date - 1) <> 2 Then
Me.cboDate.Value = Format(DateAdd("D", -Weekday(Date) - 1, Date), "Medium Date")
Else
Me.cboDate.Value = Format(Date - 1, "Medium Date")
End If
Problem #1: Right now, I am getting the date values from the list
DateList in the worksheet LookupList...is there a better way of doing this?
Problem #2: When the user form is run, the correct date and format shows up. However, if I change the date, the dropdown list in the combobox starts from the initial date in given list...is there anyway to bring the list closer to the current
date? Think Calendar View
Problem #3: I want the weekday and month values to be directly correlated to the date value discussed above, so hypothetically when the user form is run the correct date, weekday, and month all show up (based on the same date value), then if
I change the date, the weekday and month automatically update. Is this possible, if so how?
The reason I want this functionality is so that on a Monday, I can run the work form and it will automatically have Friday's date, weekday, month info as it opens. When I'm done with Friday, I can run it again, switch the date to the Saturday's
date (weekday and month automatically update), then repeat for Sunday.
I have tried running the same code for the weekday and month as I have for the date, and they work
until the date is changed. Once the date is changed, I have to manually change the weekday, which leads to format change, and same for month, which all leads to :( and confusion
Again, I am very new to vba and don't know much about it all and appreciate any/all help!
Thanks in advance!
/Alex

I can give you a little advice but I don't understand your comment "if I change the date, the weekday and month automatically update" Where do you want them to update?
I am assuming that your entire question is referring to a Userform with the Combobox. Is this correct?
The code can be much simpler to populate the combobox list. You already have a named range for the Dates so you can use that directly to populate the RowSource. (RowSource if the combox is on a Userform or ListFillRange for a combobox on a worksheet).
Then the WorksheetFunction Workday can be used to get the previous workday without weekend days. It also looks after the previous day when the actual date is mid week. Look up the function on the worksheet Help because you can also have a separate list
of holidays that will be excluded like weekend days.
If you are new to VBA then a tip about Help. You need to be on the worksheet and click Help to get worksheet help and in the VBA editor you click Help to call the VBA help. Don't just select Help off the taskbar when changing between the worksheet and VBA
because you will finish up with the incorrect Help file.
Example of code to assign a named range to the RowSource of a ComboBox. Named range needs to be Global and not scoped to a worksheet otherwise the worksheet name is also required.
    Me.cboDate.RowSource = "DateList"
Example of code to assign the previous workday to the combobox value.
    'Following line sets value to previous workday (Mon to Friday)
    Me.cboDate.Value = WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)
Then there is another problem with ComboBoxes and dates. If the Dates are real dates on the worksheet (Not Text) then the dropdown list displays in the same format as the worksheet but when the date is selected, it displays as a serial number. This
can also be rectified with code but first I need to know what the format of the data is on the worksheet.
Can you upload a copy of your workbook because it is like a picture is worth a thousand words. Same goes for having a copy of the workbook. If it has sensitive data then create a copy and remove the sensitive data.

How do I save a mutlitcolumn data to a text file?

I am trying to save a multicolumn data to a text file without using Report Generation VIs. Here is the detail scenario...
I have data in the following format.
Time Voltage
1 2
2 3
3 6 ...
and
Power
1
and
Peaks
x-axis y-axis
Peak1 1 4
Peak2 5 11
If I have such data, how would I put them in a columnar format with their title and labels in a text file.
Any example VIs would be nice to see.
Thanks.

Here is one solution, hope it helps. I would like to see this done using clusters and less shift arrays, I'm sure there are a few ways to do this with less wires but i guess that's what sub vi's are for...

Hi Vijay,
Please open Microsoft Excel from your system and then create some entries (ex. having 3 columns and 3 rows). Save this file to some location in your system. Later you will need to give the location path of this saved file when uploading it from your web dynpro application.
Creating of an Excel file (i.e the 4th step) is no where related to Web Dynpro and NWDS.
Hope this helps!

Issue with Saving the Query output data in Excel format

Hi,
Recnetly we had upgraded from 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
In ECc 6.0 environment, when user try to export the query output , we are getting only XML option to save the data.
But user want to save the data in EXcel format, he was able to do that in 4.6C.
pleas eprovide some inputs, on this issue.
Thanks,
Sanketh.

I cannot for the life of me imagine, why a link to a post in the 'Business One Forum' where one uses ODBC to transfer query-data to MicroSoft Excel is of relevance to the OPs question, even if the same is not a security issue.
Never mind. [note 40155|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/402155] deals with various symptoms in the ALV-Excel combination as as of release 4.6C. There are various others, mostly in components BC-SRV-ALV and BC-ABA-LI - also: I remember that when we upgraded from 4.5B to 4.7C there was an issue with Excel-templates -> the solution was in the release notes somewhere. So, in addition to SMP you might want to check the release notes and/or upgrade guide for solutions.
And yes, moderators ... this is not a security issue, this should go to ECC-Applications/Upgrade.

Thread: Export Data in TSV format (International / Unicode characters)

Hi OAF Gurus,
Question: Export data in TSV format ? how
I am working in JDEV 10g, OA Framework 12.0.6.
I have a page which has a OA Table populated with data, I need to export this data in a TSV (*Tab Separated values*) format.
I know that we can add a “Export” button and then the data is exported in a CSV (comma Separated values) format.
The question is how to save in TSV format instead.
Reason for using TSV format: Our Data contains Unicode characters(Asian characters) which CSV files will not support. (FYI: Oracle Forms export in TSV format)
Thanks in Advance
