To Generate an Excel with cells Joined or merged

Hi everybody,
Is there any way by which we can generate an excel output with 2 or more cells merged for a particular row.
Regards

You can do all these excel and word stuff by using Business documents. BDN1 is the tcode and read more documentation about attaching the template document for the requirement
Hope this helps

Issue with Varchar2 field conversion for report output generated in EXCEL

Hello All,
I have an unique problem with one of my new reports for the User. The user wants the report output generated in excel data only(delimited data) format *(reports builder 10g)* .
Everything was fine until i encountered this problem, there was this field which has unique ID's(alphanumeric and numeric), when i tried to run the report and generate output in Excel the numeric ID's say for example *(41593497999679354429)* is converted in excel and displayed like *(2.5881E+19)* and after format cells in excel it displays *(41593497999679300000).*
The issue is only with 20 digits numeric ID's , if i append any special character to the end say '#' or '..' it shows the exact value along with the appended character. But the user insist they need only the value that is in the table. I am finding it hard to figure out, if any one of you have encountered the same issue or if any of you have any suggestions to overcome this excel conversion thing please do advice me.
Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for you response, but i already tried what you suggested, instead of appending single quote in front of ID, i did at the end prior with '#', it preserves the value if i add any character to the id but the appended value shows up too :(.
Well, i just got the solution and it did work, thanks to [Brian Hill|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=651632] for the post, i did what exactly he said and it worked. I was so very happy and wanted to share with everyone.

Excel Generating MDX Query With Crossjoins

Hi All,
I am having performance issues while using excel to browse SSAS cube.
I ran the pro filer and captured the MDX queries and query which excel has auto generated has lot of cross joins
All i am doing is selecting 3 attributes in a dimension and i can't understand why excel is choosing to use cross joins
Can any one please give me some options on how to make excel not use cross joins ?
Query From BIDS :
SELECT NON EMPTY { } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Orders].[Order No].[Order No].ALLMEMBERS * [Orders].[Order Status].[Order Status].ALLMEMBERS * [Orders].[Branch].[Branch].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM [Sales_Detail]
CELL PROPERTIES VALUE
Query From Excel :
SELECT
NON EMPTY CrossJoin(CrossJoin(Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Orders].[Order No].[All]},,,INCLUDE_CALC_MEMBERS)}), Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Orders].[Order Status].[All]},,,INCLUDE_CALC_MEMBERS)})), Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Orders].[Branch].[All]},,,INCLUDE_CALC_MEMBERS)}))
DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME,[Orders].[Order No].[Order No].[Branch],[Orders].[Order No].[Order No].[Legal Entity],[Orders].[Order No].[Order No].[Likelihood Of Deal],[Orders].[Order No].[Order No].[Order Status],[Orders].[Order
No].[Order No].[Order Type],[Orders].[Order No].[Order No].[Products ID] ON COLUMNS FROM [Sales_Detail] CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, LANGUAGE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FONT_FLAGS

Hi Satish,
According to your description, you find Excel using a lot of CROSSJOIN when driving data from cube. It caused bad performance and you want to avoid it. Right?
This is a known issue in Excel, it uses a certain template to build the cross join. It uses DrillDown.... functions for complex user filter selection when doing drill down. It's the default behavior of Excel and it hasn't been fixed yet.
In this scenario, I suggest you build user hierarchy in your cube and use it in Excel when retrieving data into pivot table.

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?
Edited by: dforde on Jan 27, 2010 11:12 PM

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Need help with Report Generation Toolkit: Excel Set Cell Format.vi

Hi people,
I've been searching and found this old thread of someone asking what is the input parameter "Number format". And I dont know what should I put in there. I've tried so many possibilities, but nothing works so far, such as:
0,0
0,?
0,#
#,0
?,0
and also with @, doesnt works. Where would I find help about this parameter?
I'm using Excel2003, german version, thus local decimal separator is a comma.
I also found this help from NI, but seems doesnt help me either. Do I miss something important?
thanks,
Yan.

Hi,
I've used your suggestion and some numbers in excel doesnt need to get "right click, change to numbers" anymore (green indicators on the left-top side in some cells are gone). But, I think its still not a number, because I cant use a simple formula, such as in cell A10 I type "= A1/2" (cell A10 equals cell A1 divided with 2) . I got error which says its not a number.
Well, but other thing is found, any format-string I put in the input of Excel Set Cell Format.vi, such as #,########, will be shown the same as "customize #,########" if I right click in a cell in excel and click "Zellen formatieren" (formatting cell). But however, the numbers are still depends on the input of the format I put in the Append Table to Report.vi.
regards,
Yan.

Generate a where clause with outer join criteria condition: (+)=

Hi,
In my search page, I use Auto Customization Criteria mode, and I build where clause by using get Criteria():
public void initSrpQuery(Dictionary[] dic, String userName) {
int dicSize = dic.length;
StringBuffer whereClause = new StringBuffer(100);
Vector parameters = new Vector(5);
int clauseCount = 0;
int bindCount = 1;
for(int i=0; i < dicSize; i++){
String itemName = (String)(dic.get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_ITEM_NAME));
Object value = dic[i].get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_VALUE);
String joinCondition = (String)dic[i].get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_JOIN_CONDITION);
String criteriaCondition = (String)dic[i].get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_CONDITION);
String criteriaDataType = (String)dic[i].get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_DATATYPE);
String viewAttributename = (String)dic[i].get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_VIEW_ATTRIBUTE_NAME);
String columnName = findAttributeDef(viewAttributename).getColumnNameForQuery();
if((value != null) /*&& (!("".equals((String).trim())))*/){
if(clauseCount > 0){
whereClause.append(" AND ");
whereClause.append(columnName + " " + criteriaCondition + " :");
whereClause.append(++bindCount);
parameters.addElement(value);
clauseCount++;
If I want to generate following where clause:
select
,emp.name
,emp.email
,emp.salesrep_number
,comp.name
,gs.srp_goal_header_id
,gs.status_code
,gs.start_date
,gs.end_date
from g2c_goal_shr_emp_assignments_v emp
,jtf_rs_salesreps rs
,xxg2c_srp_goal_headers_all gs
,cn_comp_plans_all comp
where 1 = 1
and rs.salesrep_id = gs.salesrep_id (+)
and gs.comp_plan_id = comp.comp_plan_id (+)
and gs.period_year (+) = :1 -- :1 p_fiscal_year
How can I generate a where clause with outer join : gs.period_year (+) = :1 ? Will I get '(+)=' from get(OAViewObject.CRITERIA_CONDITION)?
thanks
Lei

If you are using SQL-Plus or Reports you can use lexical parameters like:
SELECT * FROM emp &condition;
When you run the query it will ask for value of condition and you can enter what every you want. Here is a really fun query:
SELECT &columns FROM &tables &condition;
But if you are using Forms. Then you have to change the condition by SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Best of luck!

Generate Excel with Graphs

Hi
I need to generate an Excel spreadsheet with data extract from Oracle (no problems) and some predefined graphs. Any suggestion about how can I automatically include graphs in the new spreadsheet?
The content of Excel, including the graphs, depends on some user choices made during runtime.
Our environment is:
Oracle 9.2
WebSphere
Java 1.4.2
Xks,
Miguel

Hello Miguel,
how are you generating the Excel File?
Have a look at this:
http://poi.apache.org/index.html
e.g.
http://poi.apache.org/hssf/limitations.html
With the Apache POI you cannot create charts directly, but if you have a template Excel sheet you can modify an existing chart.
With best regards

Why Excel insert cell block, hasn't input for data input?

I could work with Excel insert cell block, but when I want add new data to an old row continuation, last row shift downward! while I want add data to old row. anyone can help me?
Nobody will be able to identify the problem without seeing your code. Excel Insert Cells.vi is used to add cells to an existing spreadsheet, not to set the cell value. To do this is a more specific way than the Append Report Text.vi you can use Excel Easy Text.vi or Excel Insert Table.vi. With these vis you can specify the range where you want to insert something.
For your other question (Two different data types) you can use the Excel Set Cell Format.vi to format a range as a date or something else. You will need to use the Excel format specifiers for this.
