Spreadsheet output

Hi Friends,
I want to create a report in spreadsheet format and can also be uploaded to excel file.
The length of width is 200 chars.
Is it possible to do it on Oracle Reports?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
when calling the report you can set the parameter desformat to choose the format: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_cla.htm#sthref2683

Error displaying numeric values with SPREADSHEET output

Hi, I'm using Reports 10g R2 and I have all my reports with PDF output, they render just fine.
I want to render some of them with SPREADSHEET output but don't know why in some case numeric values are rendered as ****** instead of the corresponding number.
The same report shows numeric values correctly in PDF but no in some Excel cells, just SOME of them, not all.
I know that Excel column is not short because the internal value of the cell are the asterisks.
What could be happening?
Thanks!

Hi Ruby,
please refer to some very basic documentation on CRM 2007 Webclient UI or the IC Webclient of CRM 4.0.
What you are trying to do is create a value node and your code ABAP is wrong.
Here a code sample. Typed it by hand so there might be errors in it.
data:
ls_struct type /mystructure,
lr_struct_ref type ref to data,
lr_node type ref to cl_bsp_wd_value_node.
ls_struc-/attribute1/ = 'Hallo Welt'.
get reference of ls_struct into lr_struct_ref.
create object lr_node
exporting iv_data_ref = lr_struct_ref.
typed_context->/yourNode/->collection_wrapper->add( lr_node ).
cheers Carsten

Be sure you put the heading the same size as your column because otherwise it will not insert the diffent columns in seperate columns in excell

Can't generate SPREADSHEET output in Reports 10.1.2.0.2

We are using Reports 10.1.2.0.2. I want to generate in my (Not deployed in the AS) PC a simple tabular report but in spreadsheet format. I use this command line command in a batch file.
d:\OracleDevR1\bin\rwrun.exe    USERID=user1/user123@db1
    REPORT=c:\temp\rpt_10gr2_101202_1.rep
    DESFORMAT=spreadsheet
   DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=c:\temp\rpt_10gr2_101202_1_excel_output.xls   I get this error in the log file
REP-0826: Invalid printer driver
'spreadsheet' specified by parameter
DESFORMAT.However, I can generate DESFORMAT=HTML, DESFORMAT=PDF output. The HTML and PDF files are created.
What is the problem here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I even installed Excel 2007 but still gives the same error.

Hi,
this is very weird as it should work fine in 10.1.2.0.2. I tested rwrun with desformat=spreadsheet on Windows and on Linux with base release (10.1.2.0.2) and it worked fine so not sure what is happening with your environment.
My only suggestions would be as follow
1- Make sure you are using a report with paper layout and no web layout
2- Aapply patchset 10.1.2.3 and re-try.

Regards, RobertoSorry Roberto, I have mistakenly used the 10G release 1 EXE. When I use my 10g R2 exe we can generate spreadsheet format. BUT, the spreadsheet is useless for complex reports. The excel sheet is not readable since lots of blank lines added and also lots of blank columns added. No images also there that is found in the PDF output. So, it's not WYSIWYG type output.
We are now trying to patch the 10g r2 to 10.1.2.3 and use the ENHANCEDSPREADSHEET format.

Different spreadsheet output on French locale

Hi guys,
So I moved some VIs over to another laptop. The laptop language is set to French. Now, my output is different. I changed my laptop language to English, in hopes of having it work properly again. No luck.
Look at the screenshot below:
It is supposed to separate into different columns at those commas.
But in French, a comma is equivalent to the English decimal.
Anybody know how to fix?? Changing to English Operating System does not work.
I attatched VI below.
Thank you all
Solved!

MICROSOFT YOU IDIOTS. CSV=COMMA SEPARATED VALUE. RECOGNIZE THE COMMA AS A SEPARATOR!
Well, in countries with comma as decimal seperator, a comma will not work as field separator. There is no good standard, but as Matt said, using a semicolon as field delimiter sometimes works. (see also this disucssion)
Instead of using csv files, I would recommend to use the default tab delimiter and save the file as *.txt. Excel will have no problem opening it.

Spreadsheet output on more than one sheet in the same workbook

I have created many reports having the output being a spreadsheet. But the output is on 1 worksheet in 1 workbook. Any thoughts on how to make 1 report output to more than 1 worksheet in 1 workbook?
We are using Reports 10g.
Thanks!!

Unfortunately, this can't be done with Pages, nor could it be done with AppleWorks. I think the assumption is that you would merge into a letter & one letter sent per person. In checking the 3 postcard templates in Pages 3, none of them have address book fields to drop contacts into.
There is a workaround, but it might not be worth the effort. Create your postcard as a single, large document in page layout in landscape & merge to a new document. Then, in the print dialog, choose Layout from the drop-down menu that says Copies & Pages & choose 4 from the Pages per Sheet menu. You might also want to add a hairline border for cut lines.

Incorrect currency format in Spreadsheet output of ALV

Hi all,
Suddenly, in all my ALV reports, when we click the menu List->Export->Spreadsheet, all the currency fields are displayed in incorrect format (like 1234:0000000000000000) with colon instead of dot(.) and with around 16 decimal places.
Except currrency fields, all other types are displayed correctly.
But the output format comes correctly in ALV output and also if i use Export->local file.
This is the case even for all standard as well as custom reports.
I am using ECC 6.0 and MS Office 2007
Can anybody please guide me on this

How to avoid cells being merged in SPREADSHEET output

Hello all,
The PDF output looks excellent. When I use the same report with desformat=SPREADSHEET the output is not good. Each row is occuping two lines (by merging them) and also each report column merged 4 excel columns. The excel columns are merged even though the value can be displayed in just one excel column.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

You have to play with frames and make sure there is absolutely no space between fields. Each frame is translated into an html table and then the resulting html is pushed to excel and then rendered. Most space, especially any space between fields will result in extra columns in excel. You can try 2 approaches, keep putting frames around things until it renders correctly in excel or take an example excel file, save it as html and open it up to see what the HTML looks like. You can skip all the &lthead&gt tag stuff and just get right to the table. A table tag is a frame, a tr tag is a frame (repeating), etc. Then make your report match that.

Spreadsheet output from reports posting to multiple cells instead of one

Hi all, using Report Builder 10.1.2.2.0
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.5.0.
I have a report that creates its output as an excel file using desformat=spreadsheet. The problem I am having is with fields that contain a large amount of text with formatting characters in them. In particular, carriage returns. When this data is created in excel, it treats the carriage return as a new cell, so instead of putting all the data for that column into one cell, it creates a number of cells and merges them all together.
Is there anyway to get around this? I know excel can support line breaks within a cell, is it a limitation of oracle reports to be unable to duplicate this output?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

Matrix layout and spreadsheet output 10g r2 reports

I'm currently developing a couple reports in 10g r2 and using the spreadsheet desformat. It works rather nicely but when I try it on a matrix layout it moves the matrix column(s) over the first cell of the spreadsheet instead of over the matrix cell. Is there a way to correct this issue or a property that I have to set?

Hi,
I've recently installed 10gR2 and am interested in using the DESFORMAT=spreadsheet for some existing reports. I've generated the report successfully, however the output in Microsoft Excel look awful - a lot of empty cells. When generated as 'pdf', 'htm' it looks good in the browser.
Did you do anything speciaI to maintain the format? Were you reports generated from scratch? Is there any reference docs avail (the online-help is pretty vague)...
I'd appreciate any info that would help get this working (for existing reports).

How to get an effective EXCEL Spreadsheet as output for Oracle report 10g

Hi All,
I am a newbie in Oracle reporting. I am using 10g. I have an oracle report whose output format is PDF from the user interface. User asked for Spreadsheet output. I changed the JAVA CODE "desformat" = Spreadsheet and got the report in Excel. But this report is not as expected as it has many blank cells, misplacements etc and looks really ugly. so Is there anyway to get an excellent spreadsheet as output.
If anybody needs any more information on this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Marwim. Your suggestion is very helpful. But I have some other Oracle reports which have only one .rdf file giving output in both pdf and Excel. This doubt might be silly. Almost same features were existing for the rdf what I am working now. For the remaining reports, it was given that DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET , what this report lacks. I googled and found these links http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm &
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm#CIHFDJAJ . But they are not intended for excel output. they generate only web layout in spreadsheet form. Could you please suggest any other ways to achieve this.
Thank you in advacne.

Spreadsheet functionality: Output is always crammed in 1 page.

Hi!
Whenever i do spreadsheet outputs in Reports, i get the proper Excel spreadsheet alright. I'm able to edit away, move around in cells, etc. But when its printout time, all the data is crammed inside 1 page when its supposed to span multiple pages.
I know Oracle's spreadsheet output is not paginated (i.e no page setup info is saved in output), but is there a work around to this "issue", short of copying the data and pasting it in another work sheet?

Hi, this problem has been resolved.
Apparently, the PAGE SETUP > SCALING defaults to "fit to 1 page", which is why my reports always run on 1 page regardless of the data.
The easy solution is just clicking on the Adjust to 100% size radio box.

Controlling colspan when outputting to spreadsheet

I am using 10g release 2, testing the DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET functionality. I am able to get output in html which then opens nicely in excel. However, some columns come out in excel as 2 merged columns instead of 1. When i check the html source, those columns have colspan=2.. This is not related in any way to the size of the field in the .rdf.
Does anyone know how to control this?

Take a look at MetaLink Notes 372926.1 and 333080.1. I have done spreadsheet output many times, and I can tell you that for it to look very similar to PDF or HTML output, you need to take great care in aligning/sizing your fields and boilerplate items. It may take a bit of trial and error. Good luck!
