Specifying the order of column in Excel file

How to specify the order of the columns in excel when data is exported from a table to excel.For eg. I have 2 columns in a table i.e. Base Location and Employee Number.When I export this data to the excel file the columns are displayed according to the alphabetical order i.e. Base Location first and then Employee Number. Whereas I want Employee Number column to be displayed first and then the Base Location column.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi Sowmya,
when you refer to my Excel Export tutorial on SDN: <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/0mQ">Exporting Table Data Using On-Demand Streams - SAP NetWeaver 7.0</a>:
use <b>LinkedHashMap</b> instead of <i>HashMap</i>:
private Map getProductColumnInfos() {
    Map columnInfosMap = new LinkedHashMap();
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.QUANTITY, "Quantity");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.ARTICLE, "Article");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.COLOR, "Color");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.PRICE, "Price in EURO");
    columnInfosMap.put(
      IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.TOTAL__PER__ARTICLE,
      "Total Per Article In Euro");
    return columnInfosMap;
This keeps the order of key-displaytext-pairs passed by the client (table component) to the service (excel export component) stable.

Is there any performance difference in the order of columns referencing index?

I wish to find out if there is any performance difference or efficiency in specifying those columns referencing index(es) first in the WHERE clause of SQL statements. That is, whether the order of columns referencing the index is important???.
E.g. id is the column that is indexed
SELECT * FROM a where a.id='1' and a.name='John';
SELECT * FROM a where a.name='John' and a.id='1';
Is there any differences in terms of efficiency of the 2 statements??
Please advise. Thanks.

There is no difference between the two statements under either the RBO or the CBO.
sql>create table a as select * from all_objects;
Table created.
sql>create index a_index on a(object_id);
Index created.
sql>analyze table a compute statistics;
Table analyzed.
sql>select count(*)
2    from a
3   where object_id = 1
4     and object_name = 'x';
COUNT(*)
        0
1 row selected.
Execution Plan
   0      SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=29)
   1    0   SORT (AGGREGATE)
   2    1     TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'A' (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=29)

How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview

Hi everyone
How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview
thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as I know, a text file has no columns. Please be more specific. Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character? You could the Read from Spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space. This will produce a 2D array of strings. Then use index array and give the line number and column number.

Create Business partner and Sales order automatic based on Excel file

Hello everyone,
Can anyone help me with the following.
I need to create automatic Business partner master data and the Sales order in Business One based on the input list from one Excel file.
Before the new automatic Sales order should to be created the system need to create first the BP and then the Sales order using the new created BP.
Is it possible to use some tools like CATT or LSMW for this reason.
If yes can you please help me with a sample/
Thanks and regards.

use DTW (data transfer workbench ) or if you want to automate the entire thing, then an add-on using the DI is best.

Specify the order of servlet startup

Hi,
I'am trying to specify the order of the servlet startup in Iplanet 4.0 ..but not able to ..
is their any way by which we can specify the order of the servlets that should be started while starting the webserver

In answer to your original question:

However, when I look at the execution plan, I see that the last predicate (to_number(answer) > 0) has been executed the first. Henceforth, it checks many rows first. Normally, 75 rows belong to 31/12/2012 as you see from the following. Can I specify the execution order?According to the execution plan, it will do a full scan of surveys using the predicate on insertdate to build the (presumably in-memory) hash table (hash based on survey_id) to do the joins (Step 2). Then, it does a full scan of the answers table using the question_uid and answer predicates (Step 3). For each row it finds that matches those predicate, it will prpobe the hash table created in step 2 using the hashed value of survey_seq_id. So, it is doing the insertdate predicate first.

No, it is an implicit type conversion. Your code says answer > 0, since the answer column is a varchar2 column, Oracle implicitly converts the answer column to a number to compare against the number on the right side of the comparison. Note that if something like 'A' ever becomes a valid answer, then this query will fail with ORA-01722: invalid number.

Obviously "A"."ANSWER" is not a number colmun, problably varchar, so use something like
A.ANSWER != "0"
or
A.ANSWER > "0"Yes answer column is varchar2 but can you type A.ANSWER > "0" as a predicate? I mean, you can not varchar > varchar, can you?
Of course you can use inequality predicates on a varcahr column. Is the string A greater than the string B?
Based on the explain plan, your statistics might be a little off, not hugely so. The esitmates are at least in the right order of magnitude based on what you have posted so far.

The path(Grundpfad)for the excel file should be inserted in the main.vi.

1. There's a shipping example called Write Table To XL.vi (Help>Find Examples>Communicating with External Applications>ActiveX>Excel) that you can use as a starting point.

How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
for that use code some thing like this.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
I think this will do the trick.

How do I change the order of columns in the responses table?

How do i change the order of columns in the responses table in FormsCentral? The default setting puts them in reverse order!

Hi,
The issue with the default ordering of columns in the response table is something that we hope to address in the next update to FormsCentral. In the meantime, you can reorder the columns by selecting them then click/drag using the gray area above the column name. As shown below, an orange marker will show you where the columns will be placed when you release the mouse button.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Does the order of columns in an index matter?

Hi,
I have a table having composite index, five columns. (col1,col2,col3,col4,col5)
Currently , my index is beginning with the column which having low distinct values and so on.
( in my case the first column have 1 distinct values due to functional behavior ). the second column have 3 distinct values , the third column have many distinct value ( half of the table).
There are many DML queries on this table with different clauses.
Examples:
query 1 : where col1 =val1 and col2 = val2
query 2 : where (col3,col4) in ( select col1,col2 from another_table ) ( for this we can add col1 =val1 and col2 = val2)
My question is : what this best way to create index on this case ?
The order of columns on index depends on its distinct values?
Thanks

Display the query result in an Excel file??

hi there..
am writing one script file that queries my DB and display the query result in an Excel file??
i.e: if my query is :
select col1, col2
from table;
and i want the results to dispalys in 2 col. in an Excel spreadsheet..
Appreaciating ur cooperation..
Mourad

set colsep to a delimiter that is not normally part of your data like |
also setup the environment with these other setup commands
Set Echo Off;
Set Concat Off;
Set Pagesize 9999;
Set Feedback Off;
Set Verify Off;
Set Term Off;
Set Space 0;
Set Colsep '|'
Set Underline Off;
If you wanted to use a comma delimiter the setup would be same but the set colsep='","'
with the addition of concatenating a " on the first col and last col of the query
eg.
-- if first col and last_col are character types then
SELECT '"'||col1,....,last_col||'"'
FROM table;
Otherwise if either is a number they would have to be converted with a TO_CHAR

Changing the order of columns in a table

Can anyone tell me how to change the order of column in a table.
I want a new column to be added in a table in 2nd position.
Is there any way out for it?

1) Does this have something to do with security? If not, it really ought to be posted in a more appropriate forum (Database - General for example).
2) Why? If you care about the order of columns in a table, you're almost certainly doing something wrong. You can control the order of columns in a view, however, so you can put a view layer on top of the table to present the columns in a friendly fashion.
3) Not without recreating the table. You can use the DBMS_REDEFINITION package to recreate the table with zero or minimal downtime but behind the scenes, you're really just creating a new table, copying the data over, dropping the old table, and renaming the new table to use the old table's name. DBMS_REDEFINITION does some extra work to track changes so that the original table can be available until the last possible moment.
