Selecting a range of data from a file

Is it possible to only display a selected range of data from a binary file? I can read in my binary files but I would like to only send data within a user defineable range to the data portal for viewing. This range may be over multiple binary files also. I can concatenate these files already but I need to select a range to insert into the data portal.
Thanks,
AJL

OK AJL,
This sounds good. It's convenient to have the start and stop time of each segment file in the name of that file. By the way, you want to check that in the DataPlugin and "Call RaiseError()" if the data file is not named that way, otherwise you will try to read DIAdem *.DAT files with your custom DataPlugin. DIAdem will try each DataPlugin that is registered with the file's extension (i.e. *.DAT) one after the other, until one of them does not give an error. So you should always check for some identifying characteristic in your data file and "Call RaiseError()" if you don't find it, in order to abort DIAdem using that DataPlugin for files it was never intended for.
Now to your point. How do you know which series of segment files to read from? Does your VBScript ask the user to select a particular directory that contains all these segment files? I'm going to assume so. My recommendation is that your VBScript also create a time slice configuration file in that directory that contains the information about the time slice you want to read in (start and stop times). Then your DataPlugin can look for that file name in the directory passed to it-- if it finds none it will just load the file path it was passed outright, but if it does find the time slice file it will load any and all *.DAT files in that same directory which correspond to that time slice. This includes loading only parts of one or more of the existing binary files.
It is straightforward enough to pick out the section of the binary file you want to load with the DataPlugin, once you know the time slice information inside the DataPlugin's callback. Use the File.Position property to move the file cursor to the position of the first data point in the time slice, and use the Block.BlockLength property to specify the number of values to read in each of the channels from that starting point (to exclude the values after the desired time slice). I assume that your binary data is stored interleaved and that you are using DirectAccessChannels to read the values in your DataPlugin.
Finally, for time slices that span multiple segment files, you will need to load these to separate groups in the Data Portal with the DataPlugin. Then the VBScript can consolidate these channels into long concatenated channels in a new group and delete the temporary segmented groups. In a future version of DIAdem the DataPlugin API will have the ability to do this mapping for you, but not yet. I also have VBScripts that do this concatenation already-- you can download them from www.ni.com/support/diasupp. They're designed for concatenating channels from multiple ASCII/Excel/DAT files.
Let me know what else you need,

Select a range of data

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to do to select a range of data (for example on a force/time graph during a jump landing (parable), from a certain value to another) to register it on a special file? I tried the module "separate" or "cut out" but I don't think they will be useful when you don't know when will appear the specifical value you're looking for...
Is it also possible in Dasylab to know the director coefficient of this type of curve (quite linear...)?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Perhaps...
Select the values in a block (y values) at given positions (y values).
Calculate the differences, and calculate the quotient.

How to extract data from .xltm file in a (dataset, datatable or a list) using wpf c#

Hi all,
As we can get data from .xls, .xlsx file in a dataset. Now i want to read all the entire data from .xltm file.
I also want to get all sheets name from .xltm file. I am using .Net framework 4.5, Visual studio 2012.
Please help me. I am unable to extract it. It is urgent.

Hello Kalpna Bindal,
I just investigate this issue and use the following way but it does work:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
// initialize connection
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection();
con.ConnectionString =
"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\\Fruits1.xltm;Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;\"";
//pass query to Insert values into Excel
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "insert into [Sheet1$] values('')";
cmd.Connection = con;
// EXECUTE QUERY
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
I then did a research about this issue and find the following case:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22225017/reading-excel-xltm-files-programmatically
To test whether it is possible I use the following code in WPF:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application xltmApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
xltmApp.Visible = false;
xltmApp.ScreenUpdating = false;
Workbook xltmBook = xltmApp.Workbooks.Open(@"D:\Fruits1.xltm");
Worksheet xlworksheet = xltmBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
for (int i = 1; i <= 1; i++)
for(int j=1;j<=1;j++)
string str = (string)(xlworksheet.UsedRange.Cells[i, j] as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range).Value;
MessageBox.Show(str);
The result is that I can read this .xltm file and read the firstline without problem.
I would think you can also use this way to work with your .xltm file and output it to your application.
For more details about how to fill to your WPF, common wpf and excel thread will be helpful:

Use LINQ to extract the data from a file...

Hi,
I have created a Subprocedure CreateEventList
which populates an EventsComboBox
with a current day's events (if any).
I need to store the events in a generic List communityEvents
which is a collection of
communityEvent
objects. This List needs to be created and assigned to the instance variable
communityEvents.
This method should call helper method ExtractData
which will use LINQ to extract the data from my file.
The specified day is the date selected on the calendar control. This method will be called from the CreateEventList.
This method should clear all data from List communityEvents.
A LINQ
query that creates CommunityEvent
objects should select the events scheduled for selected
day from the file. The selected events should be added to List
communityEvents.
See code below.
Thanks,
public class CommunityEvent
private int day;
public int Day
get
return day;
set
day = value;
private string time;
public string Time
get
return time;
set
time = value;
private decimal price;
public decimal Price
get
return price;
set
price = value;
private string name;
public string Name
get
return name;
set
name = value;
private string description;
public string Description
get
return description;
set
description = value;
private void eventComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 0)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "2.30PM. Price 12.50. Take part in creating various types of Arts & Crafts at this fair.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 1)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "4.30PM. Price 00.00. Take part in cleaning the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 2)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "1.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in selling goods.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 3)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "12.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in a game of rounders in the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 4)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "11.30PM. Price 15.00. Take part in an Egg & Spoon Race in the local Park";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 5)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "No Events today.";

Any help here would be great.
Look, you have to make the file a XML file type -- Somefilename.xml.
http://www.xmlfiles.com/xml/xml_intro.asp
You can use NotePad XML to make the XML and save the text file.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296560
Or you can just use Notepad (standard), if you know the basics of how to create XML, which is just text data that can created and saved in a text file, which, represents data.
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/522456/Reading-XML-using-LINQ
You can do a (select new CommunityEvent) just like the example is doing a
select new FileToWatch and load the XML data into the CommunityEvent properties.
So you need to learn how to make a manual XML textfile with XML data in it, and you need to learn how to use LINQ to read the XML. Linq is not going to work against some flat text file you created. There are plenty of examples out on Bing and Google
on how to use Linq-2-XML.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
<copied>
LINQ extends the language by the addition of query
expressions, which are akin to
SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from
arrays, enumerable
classes, XML documents,
relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers[2]
or
monadic parsers.[3]

Error while loading the data from text file

Hi,
I got an error " Data Value Encountered before all Dimensions selected" while loading the data from the text file.
Can any one please suggest me the solution.

Possible Solutions
Make sure that the data source is valid.
Is a member from each dimension specified correctly in the data source or rules file?
Is the numeric data field at the end of the record? If not, move the numeric data field in the data source or move the numeric data field in the rules file.
Are all members that might contain numbers (such as "100") enclosed in quotation marks in the data source?
If you are using a header, is the header set up correctly? Remember that you can add missing dimension names to the header.
Does the data source contain extra spaces or tabs?
Has the updated outline been saved?

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.

How to transfer data from excel files into z-tables

Please help me with a code which transfers data from excel file to z-table.
Thanks in advance
Shuvir

Hi Daniel,
Export Data
Purpose
Use this procedure to export SAP data to a local file such as Microsoft Excel.
Menu Path
Use the following menu path to begin this process:
·         SystemèListèSaveèLocal File
Helpful Hints
When reviewing fields, R = Required, O = Optional and C = Conditional.
Procedure
1.       Start the transaction using the menu path or transaction code.
      Whatever Data You Want to Export
2.       Select SystemèListèSaveèLocal File. This works well for any data in SAP. This is the only option for the top-level (first page) of a report.
In a drill-down view within a report the Local File button on the toolbar may be used and has the same options.
      Choose File Format
3.       Click .
4.       Click to continue. If prompted for a format after choosing Spreadsheet, select Excel Table to get an Excel file that can be modified more easily.
      Choose File Save Location Step 1
5.       Click to the right of the Directory field to choose a different location.
      Choose File Save Location Step 2
6.       Click or browse your computer to locate the directory where you want to save your file.
7.       Complete the following field:
·         File name:
    You must add the proper file extension to the name of your file (.xls for Excel, .rtf for Rich Text, .html for HTML). The file extension tells your computer what program to open the file with. If you do not have the file extension at the end, you may not be able to open it.
8.       Click to continue.
      Generate File in Location and Format Selected
9.       Click to create the file in the location and format selected. In this example the file was named "example.xls" and saved on the desktop.
Result
You have completed the export process.
thanks

Read data from Excel file and diaplay in Webdynpro

Hi all,
I need some help. I have a Excel file with set of name, phonenumbers . I want to know how to display the data using Webdynpro. Could some one help me. help is appreciated and I promise to award points for right answer.
Thank you
Maruti

Hi
i can explain you to read data from Excel file
First You have to download the jxl.jar file. You can get this file from the Below site
<a href="http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/download.html">jexcelapi jar</a>
It will be in Compressed Fromat So Unzip it to get the Contents
After Unzipping The File You will get a Folder (jexcelapi/jxl.jar)
Now in NWDS open web dynpro explorer, Right Click Your Project, a popup menu will appear and in that click Properties
You will get window displaying your Project Properties
On Left Side of the window You Will Find "Java Build Path"
Click That "Java Build Path" and you will get 4 Tabs Showing ( Source,Projects,Libraries,Order and Export)
Click Libraries Tab
You will find options many options buttons
In that click the Button "Add External Jars"
You will get Window in order to fecth the jxl.jar file from the location you had stored
After selecting the jxl.jar i will get displayed and click ok
Now Open Navigator
Open Your Project
You will find Lib folder
Copy the jxl.jar to that lib folder
Note : You cannot Read the Content from the excel file directly
First You Have to copy that file to the Server,
And from the Server you can get the file absolute path
With the absolute path you can read the contents of the Excel file
You have to save the Excel file as .xls Format and Not as xlsx format i will not accept that...
You have Upload the Excel file from the Server Using the File Upload UI Element
This Coding will extract 3 columns from the Xls File

Import data from excel file

Hello.
Is anybody can help how to import data from excel file to the form created with designer 7.0. Originally there is a script inside the form to populate drop down list and depending from data selected in the ID number drop down list, there will be filled out the description and the prices text fields. But now I have to modify this form with data from excel file, which has more than 30000 lines and put all this data to script is too much.
So, can somebody know how can I after filling the ID number field , populate the description and price text fields with data from excel file corresponding to this ID number ?
This form is used in Adobe reader.
Any comments are welcome.
Regards,
Aivar

Hi
That's what i said in my prev. Post to clear cache... :)
disable your cache from nqsconfig.ini
In cache section of NQSConfig file,
you find
ENABLE = YES;
set to NO
OR
if you are using data ware house as the source for OBIEE,
you know that when ETL is done, so just create iBot to purge cache automatically at that particular intervals,
So that report runs freshly at that time
And what happened to your View Selector question?

Extra column to be added while importing data from flat file to SQL Server

I have 3 flat files with only one column in a table.
The file names are bars, mounds & mini-bars.
Table 'prd_type' has columns 'typeid' & 'typename' where typeid is auto-incremented and typename is bars, mounds & mini-bars.
I Import data from 3 files to prd_details table. This table has columns 'pid', 'typeid' & 'pname' where pid is auto-incremented and pname is mapped to flat files and get info from them, now i wanted the typeid info to be received from prd_type table.
Can someone please suggest me on this?

You can get it as follows
Assuming you've three separate data flow tasks for three files you can do this
1. Add a new column to pipeline using derived column transformation and hardcode it to bars, mounds or mini-bars depending on the source
2. Add a look task based on prd_type table. use query as
SELECT typeid,typename
FROM prd_type
Use full cache option
Add lookup based on derived column. new column -> prd_type.typename relationship. Select typeid as output column
3. In the final OLEDB destination task map the typeid column to tables typeid column.
In case you use single data flow task you need to include a logic based on filename or something to get the hardcoded type value as bars, mounds or mini-bars in the data pipeline

Passing a range of dates from Visual Composer 7.0 to Bex Analyzer

Dear Experts,
         I created a button in my Visual Composer model that has the following settings:
System action: Hyperlink
Apply to: Self
Hyperlink address: "...QUERY=BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=MBUDAT&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=08/22/2006;08/28/2006"
        Basically, what I need is to pass a range of dates from Visual Composer to Bex Analyzer on the characteristic "MBUDAT". However, it only brings back the data with those specific dates, not the range.
      I don't think this is the correct syntax to pass in a range value: 08/22/2006;08/28/2006 Please advise how should I do it.
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Hi J GOEL,
       Thank you for your quick response. I created a date range variable ZPSTDAT, and then I passed in the oncatenated value to my Bex query (for this example, let says the From date is 08/22/2006, and the To date is 08/28/2006 ).
      Here's what I passed in into the url:
...QUERY= BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC= ZPSTDAT
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING= 08/22/2006:08/28/2006
   However, it returns all the records, so it seems like it doesn't even accept the range value that I passed into the Bex. Do you mind to please show me the url you have that pass in the date range. I just need to see the date range part, not the entire url.
Thanks,
Kevin

To read data from exel file into sap

hi all,
How to read data from exel file into the internal table in abap?
Regards,
sugeet.

Hi Sugeet,
Use the following code.
DATA : BEGIN OF tbl_asset occurs 0,
 anlkl LIKE anla-anlkl, " Asset Class
 bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs, " Company Code
 ranl1 LIKE ra02s-ranl1, " Asset #

 sernr LIKE anla-sernr, " Serial #
 invnr LIKE anla-invnr, " Inventory #
 menge LIKE anla-menge, " Quantity
 meins LIKE anla-meins, " Base UOM
 inken LIKE anla-inken, " Inventory
END OF tbl_asset.
DATA : w_filename TYPE IBIPPARMS-path,
 w_file TYPE string.

 HEADER_TOO_LONG = 11
 UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR = 12
 ACCESS_DENIED = 13
 DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY = 14
 DISK_FULL = 15
 DP_TIMEOUT = 16
 OTHERS = 17
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
for HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR Use
'X': Fields are separated by tabs.
SPACE: Fields are not separated by tabs. In this case, the table must contain only one column or all columns must be contained in the file in their entire length.
Hope it helps...

Wrong century for the dates from flat file

I am in the process of uploading the data from flat file ( aka CSV) into oracle via external table .
All the dates have the year of 20xx. My understanding was 51-99 will be prefixed with 19 ( such as 1951 - 1999) and 00-50
will be prefixed with 20 ( such as 2004 ... )
The column below ( startdate ) is of timestamp .
Is my understanding wrong ?
SQL> select startdate , to_date(startdate , 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) newdate from tab;
NEW_DATE STARTDATE

Offense . None taken ...
I literally typed the sql ( as I did not copy & paste SQL / resultsets ) . I did use to_char in my original sql . I don't want to expose the real table . thats why I was giving the made up test case. If you carefully the SQL and the equivalent result sets ... you would have noticed .
Here is the SQL used ( of course , I have changed the table name ) ...
select to_char(startdate , 'mm/dd/yyyy') sdate, startdate from t
SDATE STARTDATE
09/18/2090 18-SEP-90 12.00.00.000000 AM
The flatfile had the value of 091890 as the data .
