SOLVED !!! Import Excel Null column problem

Hi all,
Import data from Excel is fine as long as there's is no column in target table that
is Varchar2(1) and Null allowable.
If there's the above type, the DML for the insert always replace the null column with
'NULL' resulting in SQL Error:ORA-12899: value too large for column (actual: 4, maximum: 1).
Had check preferences setup and could not find option relating to this.
Btw, am using Verion 1.1.1.25, on Windows XP, 10GR2 database also on same PC.
Had use the Export Data to export above table's data and
had checked the XLS file in Excel and the null column is indeed display as blank and use the Import Data-Excel, to import same XLS file back to database.
Pls advise and thanks in advance.

Hi Barry,
   That's GREAT NEWS !!!.
   Yes, in the Excel sheet, the column is null and when
doing import, the SQL command use 'NULL' instead of NULL
resulting in the string 'NULL' to be inserted.
   So, i just update current release 1.1.2.25 to 1.1.2.25.79 ?
Thanks for the great work.

Import Excel with Import Wizard / Problem during the import of "Actual Work" column

Hello,
I am trying to import an Excel File (*.xlsx) to Project Server 2013 through Project Professional 2013 and Import Wizard.
I am having trouble when I try to include the column "Actual Work". After selecting the columnsmapping I am getting a strange error message saying that "The File cannot be oppened","Make sure, that the Filename and Path is right"
and some other strange messages concerning compatibility, although I am using the same File, which works perfectly without the "Actual Work" column.
I have tried as well with csv and the outcome was the same.
Any help is welcome!
Thank you in advance,
Ioannis

Which DW are you using - DMX on Mac? It didn't have that
option. This is
not an Educational version issue - it's a Mac issue.

How to import multiple Excel/CSV columns into a single Sharepoint metadata choice column?

Consider: I work for an organization that has eight service territories. We have a series of procedural documents that can apply to from one to eight territories. We are moving this data over to sharepoint, and I'd like to add territory
data as metadata. Unfortunately, with our current knowledge management system, the best we can get is 8 separate fields flagged as yes/no.
is1 is2 is3 is4 is5 is6 is7 is8
1   0
1   1   0
0   0
0
0   0
0   1   1
0   0
0
0   0
0   0   0
0   1
0
I would like to be able to import this data into a SINGLE sharepoint metadata column as Choice/checkboxes/allow Multiple values. Is there a way to do this? We're using Foundations 2010, and our area does not have access to
development tools (including SPD).

Thanks for the reply. We have eight individual Columns in the Excel File, and when we do the import to Sharepoint, yes we get eight individual metadata columns.
I would LIKE to be able to import the eight columns into ONE column in Sharepoint.
Consider three documents.
Doc1 is information applicable to Territories 1,3 & 4.
Doc2 is information applicable to Territories 4 & 5.
Doc3 is information applicable to Territory 7.
      is1 is2 is3 is4 is5 is6 is7 is8
doc1   1   0
1   1
0   0   0
0
doc2   0   0
0   1
1   0   0
0
doc3   0   0
0   0
0   0   1
0
This metadata would import to a SINGLE column in SharePoint called IsTerritory, which is defined as a Checkbox (multiple values) Choice Field, limited to the values 1-8.
Doc1 would have checkboxes 1,3, & 4 checked, Doc2 would have checkboxes 4 & 5 checked, and Doc 3 would only have checkbox 3 checked.
Does that make a little more sense? I'm having problems validating my account, so I can't upload screenshots yet...
Thanks in advance for your reply.

SQL Developer Import Excel problem

I just recently installed SQL Developer (1.1.3).
I created a table with 4-columns all char datatype.
I tried to import an excel file into this table. Checked Header Row )1st excel record is header) and move all Available columns into Selectedcolumns. All my excel records are shown on the data preview. But when I click on [Insert], it gave me a message: No columns selected for insert.
When I viewed the DML: insert into TBLCLOSETIMETABLE (Choose Data Type,Choose Data Type,Choose Data Type,Choose Data Type) VALUES('January','Thursday, February 01, 2007','Payroll','1st Wk');
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I was able to "successfully" import excel files. I did not know I had to edit/map on the Data Types tab.
Now I have a different problem where I have my date in excel as 01-Feb-07 and the
Data Preview pane shows 39,114.
I was not able to successfully import this column.
Again, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Importing excel files - problem with single quote

When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
REM Error report:
REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
REM *Cause:
REM *Action:
One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Steve

Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
Thanks

Problem import excel table with photos

When I import excel table with photos, the photos don't appear

Welcome to Project Siena!
If you're seeing an 'x' instead of your photo in the data source it's possible that Project Siena can't access the directory. Try saving your images in another folder such as C:\Users\Public\Pictures.
Others have also reported that if the Library isn't set up correctly in Windows 8 that they've had issues.
Here are some posts to look at while we wait for additional information from you:
Importing local images via an Excel file
Siena Gallery unable to load image
Images in Public Pictures directories showing
up as X in Img from URL
(fyi - this last post's screenshot will look different than yours as it was from Beta 1.)

If I delete all caracther styles the problem is solved, but I need to have caracther styles in my layout.
Anyone can help me?

The import facility of Excel or Word Document is only on a PC system of Dreamweaver.
File >> Import >> Excel Document
File >> Import >> Word Document
For mac system I understand this facility isn't there. What can you do about this?
1) Get hold of a PC and download a trial version of DW and import the file(s) and you are done;
2) Ask a friend to do it for you;
3) Post your excel file online and some nice guy like Nancy, john or Murray will help you out.
Good luck and let us know if this has given you some more ideas to explore.

Form fields exceeds Excel's column limitation. XML to non-xls solution?

I have a form with more than 256 variables. This is not a problem with xml, but the wizard from Adobe>XML>Excel truncates data at Excel's column limit of 256 columns, leaving my remaining variables only held in the xml files.
Surely others have come across this problem?
I can't split my form for the users, I can only use one form, so that option is out.
Does anyone have the magic answer? I've searched and searched but to no avail.
My goal is to eventually get data from XML to SPSS. Is there a solution that can batch import XML files and transfer to any file type besides excel that SPSS can eventually read (text/flat, other CSV, other)?
Any help very much appreciated.

You can make a VBA app in Excel or a VB app that convert the xml to any format.

BPC 7 SP3 and Import Excel package

Hi,
I use VPC 7 SP3 (with SQL Server 2005) and I have some problems with the standard package named "Import Excel". The following error is returned:

Any ideas?

Hi,
here is more information. The Excel file I try to load has different columns from the standard ones (I have an HYP dimension and no INTCO dimension). I have specified the list of columns in the package parameters interface. It seems that these values are not used by the package. I think that the package waits for a file with the standard columns, no less, no more. It works fine with BPC 4.2 (I use the standard Import Excel package and the file is well loaded).
thanks for your help,
Romuald

Simplest import-excel example fails - beginner question

Help! I can't get import-excel to behave reliably even in the simplest case:
1 New table with the default one column
2 Add data to one row "hello"
3 Export to excel
4 New table with the default one column
5 Import from excel
6 Error message:
--IMPORT into table TABLE2 complete
--Inserted 2rows.
--Failed to insert 0rows.
I don't know if this detail helps:
Step 2's message was:
--INSERT INTO "TABLE1" (COLUMN1) VALUES ('hello')
--Commit Successful
Step 3's resulting excel file looks OK, though it has a null column to the right (as revealed by excel's control-end key). Nevertheless, deleting that null column didn't change the outcome.
Step 5's DML says:
--insert into TABLE2 (COLUMN1) VALUES(' ');
--insert into TABLE2 (COLUMN1) VALUES(' ');

Oops, I forgot to mention these details:
--Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0
--OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.2
--SQL Developer 1.1.2.25

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Joost is right, the original Metadata issue you were having with the Example Import Excel package is due to a mapping error within the package. The package is built assuming the following columns (ie: Dimensions and Column names) for the input spreadsheet:
Category
Time
Datasrc
Intco
Account
Entity
Rptcurrency
Amount
It also has a flat file with the same fields that it maps the excel columns to then just does a standard flat file import.
If your input excel spreadsheet has different columns names (Cat instead of Category) or different columns (missing or additional dimensions), then the internal mappings will be wrong. And all the package needs you to do is to give it the new mappings.
Open it in VisualStudio, go to the Excel file connection and connect it to a valid version of your input spreadsheet with the correct columns. Next you'll have to add/delete/modify the columns for the TextFile connection to match. After fixing the connection you'll have to open the EXCELTOTEXT data flow task, in there, double click on the ExcelFile task to force it to reconstruct the metadata for the new Excel file connection, correct any errors (ie: Remove fields that are not longer valid). You need to do the same to the TextFile task and add the correct mappings between the Excel columns and the Text fields.
Last, save it back to your webfolders either as the same package name or a new name, I'd suggest a new name in My Folders keeping the original Example in tack, and then go to BPC Organize Packages to add it in.
I haven't actually done this to this specific package, but I've had issues with metadata changing in an external source being retrieved into custom packages I wrote. So let me know if this worked.
The other problem with the standard flat file import is curious to me, you see a package status of success but the detail shows a failed step.

Import excel to UDT by SDK

Hi all,
I am trying import excel to UDT by SDK. But I have a difficult to solve. In the UDT, it has a Time column and has been formated is hour type, I create a excel file have a Time column, too. I format Time column in the Excel is number type. In the SQL 2005, this column is formated is smallint. When I import excel to UDT by SDK, I didn't update this column to this UDT, it announces different type.
I hope people help me.
Thanks and best regards,

Hello Canh,
The time field of B1 is saved as samllint in MSSQL,
the format of time is 3 or 4 digits integer (HHMM), for example:
928            :   09:28
1439          :   14:39
So you need to prepare the time column as (HHMM) format, if numeric doesn't comply the format, please try string format.
You may refer to the sales order table: ORDR.DocTime
Kind Regards

Query to return column name of first NULL column?

I have a table with 40 columns but only the first n have non-null values. Is there a way to pull the name of the first non-null column? I have tried using CASE but I run into nesting too deeply problems (apparently you can only nest to 10 levels).
Thank you.

Or, you could try something like this:
-- This is just for testing
DROP TABLE #test
CREATE TABLE #Test
(ID INTEGER
,n1 INTEGER
,n2 INTEGER
,n3 INTEGER
,n4 INTEGER
,n5 INTEGER
,n6 INTEGER
,n7 INTEGER
,n8 INTEGER
,n9 INTEGER
INSERT INTO #Test
VALUES (1,256,365,4000,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL)
SELECT *
FROM #Test
-- THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PIECE
SELECT ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n1,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n2,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n3,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n4,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n5,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n6,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n7,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n8,1)),0)
+ ISNULL(LEN(LEFT(n9,1)),0)
FROM #Test
The LEFT(x,1) will always either give you a LEN of 1, or a NULL. Add 'em up. Try it.
Then use the Ordinal_Position from the Information Schema to get the name of the column (if that is what you need)

Empty rows from imported excel sheet

Hi all
I use Intelligent Explorer 8.3 and have an imported excel sheet in the query.
If I process this file I receive a lot of empty rows on top the data I like receive. But in this excel sheet there are no empty rows. What could be the problem?
Is there a setting which I can change the path to this excel sheet?
The only way I know is to rename the excel file that I get a message box to set the path again.
Thank you very much in advance
Michael

I solved the problem with the empty rows already. The problem was that Brio retrieves empty rows if they are used before. There is obviously a difference between empty rows which are used and which are unused. But I am still trying to find the excel settings where you can change the path to the excel sheet.
Thank you anyway
