Universal export to Excel process

Hello,
I must write pl/sql procedure that exports data to Excel file in XML format. This procedure should be available for all pages in quite big application, so I don’t want to write it by scratch for each report separately. I need more object-oriented way.
Do you know any way to read results of any APEX report region and write it/export to Excel using pl/sql process?
I know how to write XML Excel files and I know I can find region definitions with reports’ queries in APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_REGIONS view, but I have no idea how to deal with it, especially with pl/sql reports returning string query. How to put this data into cursor, how to declare cursor’s type automatically etc. Maybe I can use some APEX function?
Regards,
Przemek Staniszewski

Przemek:
If it were possible to identify a report region source as being the type 'function returning query' I think it would be a simple matter to execute the specified pl/sql function ( using execute immediate) and obtain the query for the report.
Given the query I think, Denes' code will do the rest.

Export Universal Worklist to Excel

Is it possible to export the contents of the Universal Worklist to Excel or some other reporting mechanism?

Dear Peter,
Im not sure if theres a quicker method than what Ill describe below, but you can have a look:
There is an excellent UWL API provided which you can use.
Get the worklist of a user, iterate through it and retrieve stuff like the subject, message, priority etc.

Export to excel and others inactive in ALV GRID

Hi,
I am creating a report using the 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM and the export to excel fucntionality is inactive. There is no spreadsheet push button on the application toolbar and the List->Export sub menu items 'Word processing' 'spreadsheet' and 'local file ' are all inactive. I have tried to run the code on a different system and the export to excel functionality works there. I am considering creating a new GUI staus using the standard status contained in the function group of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' but will like to know if this issues can be remedied e.g is it probably a basis issue or a configuration issue e.t.c.
Thanks
Andy.

Hi Max,
Checked the PF_STATUS_SET routine and there was code that deactivated all gui download function codes of the standard gui status if an authorisation check failed ( auth obj. S_GUI) but the function code for excel export is &XXL not &VEXCEL.
Thanks for the prompt reply max, much appreciated

Andy.

Export to excel with javascript/vbscript or with plsql(html table)

i have searched for a way to export data from OracleXe to excel without losing formatting .
So far i have found 2 possible relatively easy ways that i am still researching
(i do not include the ask tom sylk format way of exporting )
1 to export the query to a html table, while using stylesheets for formatting
(using microsoft specific styles)
2. use of javascript/vbscript to fill an array and write this array to excel with use
of visual basic for applications in excel.This also provides charting capabilities.
I am still researching this two ways, and have
encountered a few obstacles (help would be appreciated)
1 the first way:
a. create a button " export to excel"
b. create the following pl/sql procedure:
owa_util.mime_header('application/vnd.ms-excel');
owa_util.http_header_close;
HTP.PRINT('<html>');
HTP.PRINT('<head>');
HTP.PRINT('<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">');
HTP.PRINT('<title>Title of the HTML File</title>');
HTP.PRINT('</head>');
HTP.PRINT('<body TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">');
HTP.PRINT('<h1>Heading in the HTML File</h1>');
HTP.PRINT('<p>Some text in the HTML file.');
HTP.PRINT('</body>');
HTP.PRINT('</html>');
htmldb_application.g_page_text_generated := true;
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
c: run the procedure conditionally based on the button "export to excel"
the problem with this way is that using htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; is not the ideal way, because it
stops further processing, but if i leave it out, the export doesn't happen.
To export to excel while retaining data formatting you have to use microsoft excel
specific styles(Seedocumentation on the microsoft site)
2.The second way:
a create a pl/sql procedure or sql query.
b use this query to fill a vbscript/javascript array with values
c write these values to excel with use of vba in excel :
the obstacle i encountered here was that i dont know how to export the result of a
query to a visual basic script or javascript array.

Using approach 1) works fine for me.
the problem with this way is that using htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
is not the ideal way, because it
stops further processing, but if i leave it out, the export doesn't happen. Why is this a problem?
I created the button to export the excel file on page 1 and created your pl/sql procedure on page 2 using an onload process.
Works fine.
Other approaches for exporting to excel are:

Export to excel loses formatting

I have a region whose source is a SQL query.
My SQL query contains function calls that return a value.
source of the region:
select nvl(GETSRHR(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "REQUESTS",
nvl(GETTBHR(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "BENEFITS",
nvl(GETTOTALHRS(:P253_STARTDATE,:P253_ENDDATE),0) as "TOTALS"
from dual
Report template chosen is: default vertical report look 1 (include null columns)
when I run the page the report looks as follows:
REQUESTS 20
BENEFITS 120
TOTALS 140
When I export this it looks like:
REQUESTS BENEFITS TOTALS
20 120 140
Why is the formatting lost when I export to Excel? am I missing a step somewhere?
thanks for the feedback

The CSV/Excel export always exports your data horizontally. Similar to what you would get if you were running this in SQL Plus. The vertical look report template only applies to the report when shown in your web page. The template selection has now affect on the structure of the CSV export. If you need to export your data in a different way, one way to implement this would be to write a PL/SQL region or process that stores the data in that format first, e.g. in another table or using HTML DB collections and then write a report that is based on that temporary storage.

Export to Excel from PL/SQL Procedure

Hello,
I am creating a report using PL/SQL and html code. Once the report is display, I click on "Export to Excel" button. it should open the new window with Excel. The window opens in Excel, but no data. I have following code
as the first statement in the procedure.
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('application/vnd.ms-excel', FALSE);
and this is the script
<script language="JavaScript">
var param_list
l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_app_main_id=' || p_app_main_id;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_from_date=' || p_from_date ;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_to_date=' || p_to_date ;
htp.prn('
param_list = ''');
htp.prn( l_param_list);
htp.prn('''
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
var win = null;
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings = ''height=''+h+'',width=''+w+'',top=''+TopPosition+'',left=''+LeftPosition+'',scrollbars=''+scroll+'',resizable''
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
win.focus();
function ExportToExcel() {
var wndname = ''ExpCodeMoveRep'';
var wndw = screen.width-10;
var wndh = screen.height-10;
var wattr = ''scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=yes'';
var wndurl = ''pm_codemove_report?p_output=E'';
wndurl = wndurl + param_list;
     NewWindow(wndurl,wndname,wndw,wndh,wattr);
</script>
My submit is
htp.prn('
<p align="center">
<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Close" class="button" OnClick="window.close();">
<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Export To Excel" class="button" OnClick="ExportToExcel();">');
Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
I have the same code in another schema and it is working fine. Both schema are on the same server. Do they have any set up on appserver in DAD file to be able to see the data in Excel?
Thanks
Yagna

Thank you for your answer dccase!
I decided to go with on demand process. I have trouble with calling procedure from (button URL - javascript:popupURL('#OWNER#.exportXML')) pop window which cause "Forbidden, The requested operation is not allowed" error. I read that this is because I'm using XE edition and there is no HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER role in XE.
Now, I use on demand process and button URL link:
javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=PLSQL_Export_XML:NO::')
It is working. Now I have to find solution to automatically close popup window :-)
Thanks!

Export to Excel in Web Analysis

We are in the process of upgrading to Web Analysis (and the rest of the products for that matter) 11G and we're having an issue when someone tries to export to excel. It pops up and wants the user to drill down to excel.exe so it can launch excel and open the report.
Has anyone seen this before? If so what is the resolution?
I know there was a config fil in Analyzer 7 that we had to update a excelpath variable, but I don't see anything similar in 11g and I can't find a good admin guide for Web Analytics 11g.

With System 9 and SmartView you also have the option to Export to Excel in
Query Read - preserves its connectivity
Fully Formatted - preserves its formatting.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse ver. 2 fails on export to excel

I have downloaded crystal reports for eclipse version 2 (full eclipse setup) and created the sample project.
The new version of JRC looks awesome on the browser. Finally the visual appeal is as good as the .NET version.
However I am having a problem with the export to excel feature. When I select export to excel, I get the following exception
Update: I just realized this problem exists for all the export options
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet CrystalReportViewerServlet threw exception
com.businessobjects.report.web.shared.WebReportingException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response----
(Full Exception pasted below the message)
I have not made any changes to the sample crystal reports project so I am not really sure what i am missing.
I have Microsoft Vista Ultimate with Crystal Reports 2008 trial version installed.
I have configured eclipse with Tomcat 6.0 and JDK/JRE 1.6
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I searched on scn and got the listing you mentioned.
The jsp code I am using is as follows.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" %><%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %><crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="CrystalReport1-viewer" reportSourceVar="CrystalReport1" isOwnPage="true"><crviewer:report reportName="CrystalReport1.rpt" /></crviewer:viewer>
And I get the following exception on selecting any export.
WebReportingException: getOutputStream() has already been called...
So I think maybe this problem is not the same as listed under SAP Note 1199025.
Also the strange thing is I just download the full ganymede version with crystal report for eclipse version 2, and created a default crystal reports website.
The samples were provided automatically, and I have not written any code myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
Here is what I have done:
As taken from another post:
Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
     The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
Thanks

I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.

Best way to create dataset to be exported in Excel for further elaboration

Hello experts!
I need help with some of my custormers, that perform their work in a way that I partially disagree. They work in BOXI R3.1 SP3.
They use webi on top of relational universes (DWH layer in Oracle DB).
We created reports in webi that cover their standard analysis, but for their spot analysis they find difficult to work in webi.
I think that it partially depends on lack of known of the tool (even if they have been trained).
Anyway they need a solution to this issue:
they wont create in webi a basic set of information inserting reclassifications of information and some calculation in webi. Then they need to export information in excel to do their on spot calculations. Those dataset are often big, so they find following issues:
1)they tried to use Live Office to import the table they need but the limit of the datastream size is reached quickly (currently limit is 50Mb in our settings , but is reached even from report that exported with Save to my computer As Excel are not more than 10Mb ). I discussed with B.O. administrator and increasing much more this treashold affects general performances of other services.
2)Exporting in excel with Save As is quite cumbersome and they can't use .xlsx format as it is only supported by BI4.0 .So they get tables with more than 64K rows splitted over many sheets.
3)They also tried to export in CSV format to eventually further elaborate in Access, but .CSV only retrieve the information of the Microcube extracted by the query, not the data elaborated in the report.
Anyone can suggest further ways to behave?
Kind regards.
Roberto.

there are 3 options I see :
1. Learn to use webi, it can do everything excel can and more
2. I question ability of anyone to deal with that much data in excel, you should agregate data on DB side and push most of calculations there. Then your exports will be much smaller.
Better designed semantic layer will allow your users to get needed data quicker and in less volume, making their work in webi or in excel easier.
3. Use DF/DI products as ETL tools into your Excel users.

Timeout when using ALV build-in functionality: exporting to Excel

Hello,
I have the following problem within one of my web dynpro abap applications:
I need to be able to display data in a table that preferably should be via alv component.
Then I shall also be able to download the displayed data via Excel.
So I have embedded the ALV component I added to the component within a view and activated the export to excel button.
Downloading small amount of data does no lead to any problem, but when trying to process a larger amount of data (in this case 22500 entries), I get a timeout.
Does anybody have any idea if it is possible to increase performance here without reducing the amount of data to be downloaded?
thanks a lot ion advance!

Exporting to Excel causes compounded field to be divided

I have a report with compounded fields of plant and manager (ex. 3350/200). When I attempt to export to Excel, it is treated as a division and it displays 16.75 instead. I've changed a couple of settings under Tools/Options and Query Properties in both Excel and BEx query designer, but it does not change it. I also tried to export as CSV. This works, but not without doing a lot of manual manipulations to the file and I'm trying to come up with a clean process for my users. I have not found any info in the OSS Notes. Has anyone seen this issue, or has any suggestions of what else I can try? Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Try to download as CSV and open again in excel, i think it will work. Or
Format the perticular field as TEXT and try to down load.
Or in report try to replace the perticular charachter"/" with "_" and download.
Hope it Helps

How does your PL/SQL for the saving of uploaded files looks like? Where does this error happen? Does your process have an error message?
