Table data in Indesign - XML, Excel or other?

Hi
We are setting up a document that will include a lot of tables for a range of different products.
The last 2 columns in the tables are for prices and delivery. We need to be able to increase the prices in the Indesign tables easily as and when we need to as the prices increase/decrease for products.
The increase will most likely be global and by a certain percentage.
How would we set up the tables/data to be able to do this?
I'm guessing some kind of external file is fed into Indesign, like XML or Excel, so we can change the prices externally and they are then 'pulled' into Indesign.
Please help!
Thanks in advance

I had not noticed the direct export from InDesign to RTF. You had to put the cursor inside the story to make that option appear!
It looks really good, and I've sent the result on, to the ones who are going to use it, for them to check whether it's good enough, and if they can take it on to excel or work with it in the RTF format as it is.
Thank you so much for pointing out this option!

Copying table data (including images) from InDesign to Excel (or other format such as RTF)

Hi,
We've got a problem trying to get data from InDesign over to Excel.
There's this pricelist in InDesign, with images and small "icons" (also images) that indicate which item is displayed as the main image for each row in the table. Each "table row" can contain a number of items, separated by Carriage Return + Line Feed or similar combination.
The problem is that we can't get good data and images to appear in any other editable format. Copying and Pasting directly into Excel has yet been the most successful, but there the images are lost. Exporting to PDF and from Acrobat Pro exporting to other formats always seem to fail in one way or another (tables are put on top of each other, images lost and so on, different for different export formats).
The data copied to OpenOffice Calc (then saved as an excel format file). Yellow areas added to show where the images were in InDesign.
Prices blurred in the illustrating image above.
Are there any good ideas how to copy the InDesign table to another editable format (that doesn't require Adobe licenses...)?
Thanks,
Andreas

Internal table data download to XML format

Hello All,
I have devloped one OOPS ALV report in that our requirement is on "SAVE" button the data of the report has to be downloaded in given XML format.Please check the format provided in Finnish language.The word "Value" specified as value which are coming in the ALV report against fields mentioned.

Could anybody help how to download the report data into above format.
Regards,

Hi Sachin,
I see the sample XML has field values embedded as XML element attributes.ie <Raaka-aine Ryhma=" Value ">. For such specific requirements:
1. Loop through the table and Use iXML library functions to build the complete XML, element by element. Help - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/86/8280ba12d511d5991b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
2. You can create an XSLT Transformation that match the specific XML format, and use CALL TRANSFORMATION to convert internal table to that specific XML format.
Few Standard Function modules and class CL_XML_DOCUMENT may help for generic SAP XML conversions, where XML element names will be same as internal table field names. Not, sure if these can be used to generate specific XML formats.
Thanks,

The easiest way to export Oracle data to Excel is to use sql developer. It is a free download and this article by Jeff Smith shows how easy it is

And One Last Thing
Speaking of export, sometimes I want to send data to Excel. And sometimes I want to send multiple objects to Excel – to a single Excel file that is. In version 3.2.1 you can now do that. Let’s export the bulk of the HR schema to Excel, with each table going to it’s own workbook in the same worksheet.

How to read internal table data and use to retrive from other table.

LOOP AT ITAB_ZCUST INTO ITAB_ZCUST1.

Now it should work..
One more thing : From performance point of view you have to Replace that loop using FOR ALL ENTRIES . And avoid CORRESPONDING FIELDS. it will be slow.
This is the code.
LOOP AT ITAB_ZCUST INTO ITAB_ZCUST1.
if ITAB_ZCUST[] IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT CUSTNUM
PURC_DOC

PURC_ORG

Some things output XML all as one stream, some things naturally display it structured. It doesn't matter as the XML is still the same because by it's very nature it is a structured data definition. Anything that reads XML will be able to read it whether it's on one line (streamed) or structured.
also can i export all the columns of the table by some thing like select * from the table in XML file ?A couple of ways of exporting XML to a file...

Storing a xml excel file in a field of type string in a transparent table

Hello Experts,
I have a program to maintain. There is a transparent table which stores a XML excel file. I have used where used list option to find out if there is an existing program which used that table but couldnt find one.
In debugger mode, when I view the contents of the field, i can see list of characters, when i choose the option of viewing in xml browser, it opens me the excel file.
My requirement is to make a simple change to the excel file and store it back to the table in the same format it is.
Can someone explain to me, how to convert that xml excel file into string so that it is stored in a field of type string.
Thanks Nitish.

You can use the parser method provided in CL_XML_DOCUMENT class. Search for this particular class in the forums, you'll find many relevant post.

Data-management-config.xml issue

My question is if i can have multiple
data-management-config.xml files? for a better administration i am
separating it into multiple files but when trying to access a
destination it fails so i assume this is not possible, is that
right?

Ok imagine i have 30 destinations in one
data-management-config.xml, that's a lot of destinations, so when i
want to modify something in that file i need to look all over it to
find what i want, so instead of that it would be nice to being able
to have 3 data-management-config.xml files, with 10 destinations on
each, that way it would be easier to manage and update them.
This is requirement of the QA department, they don't want to
review a gigantic data-management-config.xml, they would prefer to
manage 3 or 4 files instead of one.
So the question is: IS this possible? or do i necessarily
need to use one and just one data-management-config.xml?

Data grid, remote xml, crossdomain.xml

Hi...
I have a problem with the security sandbox of the flash player.
I need a data grid to get its data from a xml located in other domain. I have prepared a crossdomain.xml file with this structure:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
</cross-domain-policy>
I have put this file in the public_html folder of my host, and also in the folder where the app is located but still not working....
I guess I need to do something else....
Thank you very much.

Hi there,
I am looking for a solution like yours, but it seems that
flex does not like much the XML attributes nor xpath syntax.
As a workaround, I would modify your source XML to be
<row>
<column>
<dataGridHeader1>Test Data 1.1</dataGridHeader1>
</column>
<column>
<dataGridHeader2>Test Data 1.2</dataGridHeader2>
</column>
</row>
This way, you can take the appropriate value by describing
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="{dataXML.column.dataGridHeader1}"
dataField="{column[0]}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="{dataXML.column.dataGridHeader2}"
dataField="{column[1]}"/>
Hope it helps. Let me know if you find the REAL solution to
read attributes and Xpath,
Best regards,
Miguel

How to copy the table datas into an open office excel file .

Hello All ,
I have a form which contains several pages . Each page contains some tables in it . How can we copy each table datas into an open office execl files ??
I mean there will be several excel files each file corresponds to a particular table in the form. I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 2 . in Windows XP.
Thanks
Bibhu.

Hi Bibhu,
Here is a screenshot of exporting the form data to XML:
I have not imported XML into Excel, but I know that Excel 2007 has tools for this in the Developer tab. I don't have Excel 2007 on this machine, so I can't get screenshots. However using Acrobat you can merge the XML file into a spreadsheet, using the same menu Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet.
In addition you can set up a data connection to the spreadsheet. However this will only work in a Windows environment and you need to share the OLEDB data connection with all users. In addition if you Reader Enable the form with Acrobat, the data connection will not work.
So on balance if you want to get data to a spreadsheet I would recommend export XML.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Create XML file from table data

Dear All,
with dataservice 4.0, I want to create an XML file from a table data.
Table have a single column but more record, for example:
0001000488;100;EUR;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
My desired XML output:
<Data>
0001000488;100;GBP;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
I try with a sample query but the sistem write only the last record in XML file:
<Data>
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
Can everyone help me?
Thank in advance.
Simone

Hello
That is a very simple (also odd) XML document structure, and as such doesn't require use of the XML target. It can be easily acheived by writing a normal file with a header and footer, which is acheived using a row_generation and a query to generate the hard coded open and close tags.
