SBO Reports In Ms Excel 2003

Hi people,
Is there a way in which one can pull data from SAP while in Excel and generate meaningful reports from the same data, either by use of Pivot Tables or by any other efficient way?
Further, can templates for the above-mentioned reports be saved so that for instance, a user can be refreshing the reports on say a daily basis to display updated reports (example: Daily sales report)?
Thanks & Regards,
Henry

Henry,
Data can be exported to Excel from within SAP by clicking on the Excel Icon.
If you want the data to be Pulled from Excel then you need to create Macro's or VB script code to connect to the Database and pull the data. Again this cannot be what you see on the SAP screen at that time. The data has to come from the tables

Report Generation Toolkit with Excel 2003 and Excel 2000

Hello,
I'm using the Report Generation Toolkit to generate an Excel report from an Excel template.
The "NI_Excel.lvclass" is included in the "source" section of the application builder options.
I create an exe file on a PC where Excel 2003 is installed. On a Notebook, where only Excel 2000 is installed, the application crashes at the generation of the report:
I guess the problem is the different version of Excel but I don't know. On the developer PC with Excel 2003 it works fine.
In this document it's only talked about different Word versions.
How can I use the Report Generation Toolkit here?
I'm using it that way:
Regards

Oh, it seems that the Report Generation Toolkit "only" supports Excel XP/2003/2007.
I think, that's the problem.

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

Exporting SAP report to Excel 2003 - cannot use Excel icon

Good morning folks
We have recently installed Excel 2003 and since then we are unable to export reports from SAP (eg ad hoc query) directly into Excel by clicking on the Excel icon - a blank Excel screen is displayed. Any assistance please.
We are still able to export to Excel by clicking on the Print Preview icon and then clicking on the Excel icon.
many thanks
Dawn

My users misled me! They were not exporting directly to Excel at all but instead to Excel embedded in the SAP Gui! I have managed to get them to do this again by changing the security settings on Excel as follows: Tools > Macro > security settings - changed from Low to Medium and ticked both boxes in Trusted Publishers.

Report Manager - Template Conversion Problems Excel 2003/2007

Hello,
We are having an issue in which templates created using excel 2003 are showing incorrectly formatted outputs in excel 2007. We have performed testing by creating new templates in Excel 2007 and most formatting is correct as long as we only make minimal changes to the initial template. Once the template is changed to a further extent the formatting is correct but no actual output shows, just the token defaults. Patches have been applied for both the issue of incorrect formatting caused by Excel's smartcutandpaste and also the problem with the token defaults showing instead of actual Oracle data. We would prefer not to have to recreate the templates as this would be a lengthy process. To me it seems as something was modified that affected the existing templates (other than the Generic FSG Template, which works fine), but does not affect newly created templates. Other methods of viewing the data work fine (pdf and html).
Any ideas?

The BNE.log for the report that would not show the data (due to column deletion):
10/20/10 3:12 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Error trying to check whether the job will be importing.
10/20/10 3:12 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Parameter value is not a Boolean.

The same error appears on the report that works fine (one without deleting columns):
10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Error trying to check whether the job will be importing.
10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Parameter value is not a Boolean.

10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Parameter value is not a Boolean.
The client is testing now and believes the report output is what she needs and will not need to delete the columns afterall, but for my curiosty, any ideas?
Thanks,

Project 2010 keeps asking for Excel 2003 or later when trying produce visual reports.

When I try to produce a visual report on project 2010, I am asked to have Excel 2003 or later installed on my computer. I have office 2013 installed, and have looked for the Excel.exe file to move it but i was unable to find it. Any help much
appreciated.

In addition to Paul's excellent advice, try this:
Go into C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office15 and copy the Excel.exe file
Paste into C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office14
Hope this helps,

Excel 2003 reports

Hi,
I’m working on a system (set of PL/SQL packages) that builds Excel reports.
Structure of reports is (to some extent) defined by a template (also an Excel spreadsheet).
If you are interested in this functionality, you can visit:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=30285:16
Unfortunately currently it works only with Excel 2003 and (I hope) Excel 2007.
If needed it could be changed to work with older versions.
Lev

Hi, Denes
Yes, I'm using xml. When template is uploaded it is
analyzed and is broken into parts more or less close to its schema. I found description of the schema on MS website but some information had to be "reverse engineered".
When the report is built it is built from these parts. There is no expensive XML analysis at this stage (templates are very big, sometimes). Unfortunately not all functionality of Excel is allowed in Excel 2003 (pictures and charts, for instance not allowed). But as far as I understand in 2007 everything will be available.
Currently only Excel 2003 and 2007 could view the results.
I saw your very good package that returns Excel spreadsheet as an html page. I think it could be used – create report template as an XML (because it easy to analyze) but present it as html that could be viewed by all versions of Excel starting from Excel-97.
Thanks,
Lev

I can't transfer data properly to Excel 2003 with the report generation toolkit.

I have a table with number to transfer into Excel. I use EasyGraph.vi and it works correctly with Excel 2000. But when I try the same program to transfer my data into Excel 2003, the data are not transfered correctly. When I have for example 0,56, it is read as text in Excel and when I have something like 53,300 Excel 2003 read this 53 300 as if there was no coma.
Do you know what's happening with Excel 2003 ?

Separators have always been a pain in Excel !
A work around is to avoid using any separator at all, and to format numbers as power of 10.
For instance :
0.12345 -> 12345E-5
12.345 -> 12345E-3
The attached vi does the trick.

Printing Excel Instance from InfoView using Excel 2003

Hi
I have problem with printing Excel instance within InfoView. We are using Active X as viewer - but when user schedules report in Excel and when it opens that instance - it opens in Web Excel viewer within InfoView. At that point there is no standard menu if user uses Office 2003 or actually Excel 2003 on its own machine so user cannot print instance. Can anybody help with this. If you try to open instance on machine that has Office 2007 there are no problems since instance gets open in full Excel.
Thanks

What version of Crystal Reports are you using? Any service packs or hot fixes installed?
Can you open other xls files with 2007?
Have you ever exported to excel before?
I export to -excel (97-2003) data only- and open the files with Excel 2007 with no problems. Excel 2007 complains about the old format (xls) and wants to convert it to the new excel format. I alsways ignor it.
Maybe the 'garbage' you are seeing is because the layout of your crystal report is not working for the export. Is all the data there but you have extra cells and/or lines, or the data is pushed to the left? I find that I must have the fields packed tightly with no space between them and no space above or below the fields, or I get extra cells between and lines above or below them.
Most of my exports are detail lines with a single line header and columns are set to match the detail line. When exporting multiple lines where the fields do not line up exactly with the ones above them, I may use one or more empty text fields that matches the size of the fields above them to fill the empty space. Sort of like:
line 1:{field1.}{field2...}{field 3}
line 2:(text...}{text.....}{field 4)
And you may need to turn off 'can grow' on all fields as they may cause miss-alignment. All the data will be there when you export it, even what you can not see in Crystal. You will just need to format the cells in Excel to see it.

Webi XI report export to excel--- Formatting issue

Post Author: Sougata
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
We have WEBI report that contains cell with hyperlink. The value of the cell in numeric. Type is string.
When we export this report to excel. In, Excel version is MS-office Excel 2003. In excel it is showing those green with Error --- "NUMBER STORED AS Text".
Any solution?

Hi Steve,
As per my understanding, the issue occurs because Excel Destination gets the data from the source. We can change it, but once it re-validates it will change it back. This makes sense since we cannot change the data type in the actual table. To work around
this issue, I suggest that we can add a data conversion or derived column to explicitly cast the values.
Besides, the suggestion post by Arthur means that we can add IMEX=1 to the value of Extended Properties in the connection string of the Excel connection manager in the Properties window to specify Import Mode. For more details about the settings of IMEX,
please see:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

How to save BI report into normal excel sheet in Bex Analyzer

Hi Experts,
version of Bex Analyzer:
Bi addon 7.x
support package 7,patch 1
version 7004.4.0.5
excel-2003
when i am trying to save the report into excel in Bex Analyzer as below:
file-save as->Microsoft excel work.
when I open excel I am getting pop up windowu201Dthis file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.Since your running under high security level,these macros will be disabled.u201D
when I click ok I am getting one more pop upwindow as u201Cmacros are diabled because the security level is set to high and a digitally signed trusted certificate is not attached to macros.to run the macros,change the security level to a lower setting(not recommended),or request the macros signed by the author using a certificate issued by a certificate authority.
what are these macros? why i am getting this pop up windows
When i opened the excel report is not looks like general excel report.how can I generate general excel report .I should not want to get excel report as in bex analyzer.I donu2019t want to have author ,status of data,chart,filter,information in excel report.
what settings I have to made to save the report in general excel format.
As i am new to Bi please correct me if i am wrong.
Anything is appreciable.
regards,
naresh.

Macros in general are nothing but piece of code in excel.
To allow unsigned macros to run, the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box must be selected on the Trusted Publishers tab of the Security dialog box. This option is selected by default. If it is not selected (recommended), Excel allows you to run only macros that have trusted digital signatures.
1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.
2. On the Trusted Publishers tab, select the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box.

What happens if you use the export/local file option - does that help at all or can you change the layout? Haven't got access to your release to check.

Crystal 2008 and VBA in excel 2003

We have currently crystal reports in VBA form in excel 2003 using Crystal XI Release 2. when I tried to migrate this report to "Crystal Report 2008 SP2" in VBA, I only found following reference 12.0 library
Crystal Activex Report Viewer Library 12.0 (Crviewer.dll)
but I couldn't find any reference library for (Craxdrt.dll) for crystal XI Release 2 it use to be
"Crystal reports Activex Designer Run Time Library 11.5";
so If i use 12.0 CRViewer.dll in VBA then I can create report object for it if "Craxdrt.dll"; is missing.
thanks
