Title for Excel Export

Hi all.
In BI 7.0, after executing a query, I can download the results to Excel and the description of my query name shows as the first row in the Excel sheet.
When I use this query in a template that also uses the tab item, the data is dumped to Excel but the name of my query does not show. I have tried changing the Export command parameters to have a header but that seems to only apply to PDF downloads.
I've considered putting in a label item (or something similar) with the title in it, to download to excel with the data, but I'd rather not if there is a simpler soultion.
Thanks for your help.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
when you execute a query from Query Designer, the web Template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN is used. If you lookup the button group parameters there, you could see what and how it is exported to excel.
So, you have to add a text item to your web template and bind the text content to the query title. Then it will be exported to excel.
The parameters according headers, page format etc. is not used for Excel export.
Look up [note 1178857|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1178857].

Is any different between ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 for Excel export?

Dear all,
As you know, most standard SAP report allow Excel export. I just wonder is any different between ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 for excel report in standard SAP reports?
In ECC 5.0, Reports in profit center accounting, LIS, or PA, etc. has their own different way to export to excel and is any improvement in ECC 6.0? I Thanks.

In ECC 5.0, a lot of reports don't have Excel export function instead user has to go to system -> List -> Save -> Local file -> spreadsheet.
I just wonder is any improvement in ECC 6.0? just like LIS report, user can select export -> Transfer XXL to either pivot table or just plain excel but the function only exist in certain reports in some modules and not all.
Thanks again.

Proper sheet name for Excel export

In CR 8.x, name of the Excel worksheet did correspond to the name of the report file.
Same report in CR 2008 when exported keeps default sheet name as "Sheet1"
Is it possible to have report file name being used instead as it was before?

Hi Serguei
You will have to change the Excel sheet name manually after exporting the report. You cannot retain the report name to the Excel sheet after exporting.

FR Report Print Layout Setup for Excel

Hello All,
Is there any way to setup the Page Layout for Excel export of the report.The user will export the report from HTML view on Workspace to Excel from File Menu options.After viewing the report in excel the user should be able to directly print the report without setting the page size and all.
The Page Set Up option seems to be working for PDF but not in excel.

Excel export are merging cells for data on multiple lines !

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, when we are doing an export to Excel with have an unexpected formatting.
For example the value of the name is on 2 lines:
=> So, on Excel the result is on 2 lines but merged. We want to have this result only on one cells.
Remark: if we delete the 2nd lines, because cells are merged we obtain the expected result.
Proposal A:
Are they any set-up available concerning the formatting of Excel ?
Proposal B:
Could we run some VBA when we click on Export button to make queries on the Excel ?

When they introduced Unicode support in Crystal 9 (I believe), they had to completely re-write the export routines. At that time, they made a decision to change the functionality of the excel export. Crystal is attempting to remain absolutely faithful to the graphical layout of the report as you see it in the viewer. So it creates merged cell sections, empty columns between columns, and empty rows to give you as close to exactly what you see in the viewer as possible. Unfortunately, the result is typically less than useful. Iu2019ve had several conversations with Business Objects (now SAP) with regards to this when they changed it between versions 8.5 and 10, and they have no intention of changing the functionality as it now exists.
There is a document which is now likely somewhere on the SAP portal that explains what you need to do to obtain the best results when exporting to excel.
The jist of it is this:
Line up all of the columns detail data with thier headers, and make sure that data fields are the same size as thier headers.
Line up all rows (headers and detail rows). (ie: select everything in the row, right click, align tops, and make the same height)
cram everything as close together as possible. zero space in the report translates to zero extra collumns and rows in the export.
the other option is to use the export to data only functionality, but that may not be what you're looking for either.

Exporting a List to Excel to use for Excel Services WebPart (not working)

Hey everyone, here's the scenario. I'm trying to export a list to excel and save it to a library. All the connections are saved. Now. I want that excel file to render as a web part. When I make a change on the list and try to refresh the data connection
I get the error below. Please help
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY

Hi,
I did a test as the followings:
Create a list, and add some items into it.
Export the list into a Excel file, then upload the excel file to a library.
When I opened the file via Excel service, I saw the a yellow warning about unsupported features.
Then I created a wiki page, and add Excel Web Access web part and connect the web part to the excel file.
When I refresh all data conections, nothing happened.
From the article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823.aspx (they are similar with SharePoint 2013)
SharePoint lists are not supported for Excel service. So, it may cause this issue.
I suggest you click "Open in Excel" to open the file in Excel application, then refresh the data connection, and save back to SharePoint. Then after you refresh the page, the data of the Excel Web Access web part will refresh.
Thanks,
Wendy

Excel export & Layout feature for UI element table

Hello,
I have a requirement to implement Excel export and saving of user layout in webdynpro table. I am not using ALV table but table UI element. Please let me know how I can implement the same.
Regards
Nilanjan

Let say you have button at table toolbar to export table data into excel. On click of this button you want to perform export:
you need to convert the content of context node bounded to table into an xstring to be used for export to an external file.
use following steps to convert your context node data into XSTRING
1. Get reference to the wd table displaying the data
2. Create header row for export
3. Get columns of table
4. Create export row with field names for excel header row
5. Collect export attribute names
6. Get your context node data
7. Build your export string such that value of attributes in each line are separated by horizontal tab i.e. %_HORIZONTAL_TAB and all lines are separated by newline i.e. %_NEWLINE
8. Once your export string is ready convert it into xstring using FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    EXPORTING
      text   = lv_export_str
    IMPORTING
      buffer = xstring.
9. Once XString is ready, use following method to export into yur file type:
CALL METHOD cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
       I_FILENAME = 'exporttabledata.xls'
      I_CONTENT = lv_xstring
      I_MIME_TYPE = 'EXCEL' ).

How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?

Hi Experts,
How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?
For example:
Dashboard contains more than one report, and add one export button for downloading these reports for Excel.
Is it possible to implement this requirement?Thanks.

There is no direct option, you can try the following workaround.
Page Option -> Print -> Printable Html
Then File -> Save Page as
Choos Save as type as -> All files
File name as Report.xls
When you Open the xls file, if you get a pop up saying problem during load just omit it and proceed.
The report will open in excel.
Or save the page as html /mht and open it with Excel, this also will work.
Note: I have tested this in Mozilla
Thanks,

2.> after i download the excel file to my local computer.i don't wanna to select some options(1.As a XML list;2.As a read-only workbook) to open it.i hope i can open it directly by click the *.xls file.
3.>i don't know how to change the column name for excel file. Liking some blank-letter maybe appear in the column name. e.g.: First Name not FirstName.
 looking forward to u reply.thanks in advance!

Point 2 and Point 3 are solvable in the following way.
Refer the Web Dynpro Binary Cache and there are minute changes that needs to be done.
Implement the following methods:
exportToCSV
public void exportToCSV( com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDNode dataNode, java.util.Map columnInfos )
 //@@begin exportToCSV()
 byte[] excelCSVFile;
 IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
 String fileName = dataNode.getNodeInfo().getName() + ".csv";
 try
 excelCSVFile = toExcelCSV(dataNode, columnInfos).getBytes("UTF-8");
 cachedExcelResource = getCachedWebResource(excelCSVFile, fileName, WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType("csv", "application/ms-excel"));
 if(cachedExcelResource != null)
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelFileURL(cachedExcelResource.getURL());
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelFileName(cachedExcelResource.getResourceName());
 openExcelLinkPopup();
 }else{
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Failed to create Excel file from table !",true);
 catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e)
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(),true);
 catch(WDURLException e)
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(),true);
 //@@end
To Excel CSV
public String toExcelCSV( com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDNode dataNode, java.util.Map columnInfos )
 StringBuffer x = new StringBuffer();
 String attributeName, headerName;
 //trimHeaderTexts(columnInfos);
 for(Iterator iter = columnInfos.keySet().iterator(); iter.hasNext();)
 attributeName = (String) iter.next();
 headerName = (String) columnInfos.get(attributeName);
 x.append(headerName)
 .append(",");
 x.append("n");
 for(int i = 0; i< dataNode.size(); ++i)
 IWDNodeElement dataNodeElement = dataNode.getElementAt(i);
 for(Iterator iter = columnInfos.keySet().iterator(); iter.hasNext();)
 attributeName = (String) iter.next();
 x
 .append(dataNodeElement.getAttributeValue(attributeName))
 .append(",");
 x.append("n");
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(x.toString());
 return x.toString();

Incorrect discoverer title in excel output

Hi,
Some of my users have reported to me that, when they output worksheets to Excel in Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18, the content in the title area is incorrect. I am binding some parameters such as BEGIN_DATE and END_DATE in the title area. For example, the title area in Discoverer correctly shows 01-JAN-07 and 31-JAN-07 for the begin date and end date. However, when we open the same data output in Excel, the title area shows something like 01-MAR-07 and 31-MAR-07 for the begin date and end date.
Thanks.
Andy

Hi,
I believe, you have issue with the value of date and not date format.
I had experienced the same issue with Title.
The discoverer report shows the Date correctly, but after exporting ti Excel, it takes the previous value of Date.
When I edited the Title , saved, and exported again, it worked..!!
I dont see any technical reason here, but my guess is, the excel takes the previous values of the parameter from cookies.
Have a try..!!

Excel Exports

1) Does anyone have a solution for creating an Excel Export with a chart / graph included?
2) Is there any way to include formatting in an Excel Export? I'd like to be able to include Borders, Font Coloring, Formula's etc.

Vega,
What version of ApEx are you running? I know in 2.x you could not export graphs "directly" into excel. However, although I've never done it, I've read documentation from companies that opted to use ApEx over Java and ASP solutions... One practice was to leverage the use of individuals familiar with VBA to format reports exported from ApEx. Have any of those around? ;)
Dan
Sorry, meant to say VBA (Visual Basic for Applications)
