Updating data in Xcelsius 2008 Export from Excel Spreadsheet

Xcelsius 2008 newbie question....
I have created a Xcelsius export (.swf) that display my data. However it appears the data is static after exporting.
I am at a loss as to how you force it to update/refresh using the connections used in the excel.
Am I missing something? I cannot find a straight answer, do need LiveOffice?
How do I have an (.swf) export file that refreshes data itself????

The easiest way to get data to update in your swf is to create a connection in the Data Manager. After the connection is setup you can add a connection refresh button to allow the swf viewer to trigger that connection.
To get data to refresh automatically, you can setup the connection to trigger or update on interval.

How to transfer data more than 255 char from excel sheet to internal table.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i have a text field in the excel sheet of more than 255 char and need to be updated in the text element. To do that i need to transfer the excel sheet data to an internal table where one of the field is more than 255 char.
in the standard function module it works only upto 255 char. Can you help me if we have some other way to get more than 255 char in the internal table from excel sheet.
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
RaJ.

Using .xls, it is not possible transfer data more than 255 characters from excel sheet. However if the excel sheet is saved as Comma Delimited format or Tab Delimited format, then using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module data more than 255 characters can be transferred.
File name should be : .csv (Comma Delimited format) or .txt (Tab Delimited format)
File Type would still remain 'ASC' while calling function module GUI_DOWNLOAD
Also In the internal table declare the field type as String or LCHAR.
Eg:
TYPES: begin of ty_file,
        col_a TYPE string,
      end of ty_file.
DATA: i_file type standard table
               of ty_file
             with header line

Can I create a data set from Excel spreadsheet?

I have been looking for help with Spry data sets. I want to know if I can create a data set directly from an spreadsheet or do I have to save it to a CSV file first. I will be upgrading to DW CS4 shortly & trying to do my homework now.
Can someone point me to an article or video explaining how to do this? I have gone through various helps with HTML tables as data sets.
Thanks.

Yes, mostly.
We have a CSV data set, which is a comma-separated value file, which can easily be exported from Excel.

Ssrs 2008 export to excel and csv file

In a ssrs 2008 report, the user will export data to PDF, excel, and CSV files. When the report is exported to excel or csv file, the user wants me to hide some tablixes. Thus can you show me code on how to export the reports to csv or excel file without
and be able to hide a few tablixes?

Hi jazz_dog,
According to your description, you want to set the visibility for some tablixes based on the exporting file type. Right?
In Reporting Services 2008, we don't have any parameter to get type of exporting file. So we can only create a parameter and select a type before exporting to a file. Then use conditional expression to control the visibility. It's definitely not a good workaround,
so your goal can't be achieved in Reporting Services 2008. However, for Reporting Service 2008R2 or later version, we have a build-in parameter called Render Format Name, this parameter will display the type of exporting file automatically. So we can make
the judgment in expression based on the value of this parameter.
Reference:
Built-in Globals and Users References (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

Viewing issues for custom list exported from Excel

Exported a table from Excel to use in our Sharepoint Online site. I am a site owner. The table/list shows up for all owners. When a team site member tries to view the list it only shows the headers and no items. The list is inheriting
the permissions from the site and the members can see other content on the site. I have even stopped the inheritance and set custom permissions for the list but it still only shows for owners. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Petra,
The Forum isn't really designed as a training system but rather where people can share questions or get a separate pair of eyes to look afresh at issues that aren't working for some reason. This is particularly the case for something which is as important as creating dimensions.
The idea of the SSM Cube Builder/Model Designer was to enable people to build models with their relevant dimensions and metrics for demos and simple initial systems using manual data entry. If you are getting into building dimensions that will be outside BW then you are moving into the implementation arena rather than demo creation and need to work carefully so that things tie up.
I doubt people would expect to be able to set up/implement BW without training and SSM is the same.
If you would like training or would like to collaborate on a first project to enable skills transfer then my colleague Pedro and I would be happy to discuss this. We have done this with other people and it has worked well.

Colin

Not able to see Data in Xcelsius 2008

Hi everyone,
My question is I am not able to see data in Xcelsius spreadsheet although I am able to connect to SAP BW and also able to see and select query but when I select Cross Tab Data in output Values it is not displaying in Xcelsius spreadsheet
System Info
Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise Trial Version SP 3.0
SAP BW 7.1 SP 6 ABAP and JAVA
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Rashid,
When you are using the BW conenction in Xcelsius you will not see any data in the spreadsheet at design time or at preview time.
To see the data you need to go SAP > Publish, then SAP > Launch to test the dashboard in the NetWeaver Portal as that is the only place where the data can be viewed.

Error Updating Data using a Web Service from BPM

Hi there,
I'm trying to update data in an oracle database using a webservice created in DSP and get the following errors. It appears that BPM is unable to find a name, but I'm not sure what name this is referring to. The web service is straight forward and takes in the original and current objects as arguments. I can successfully call the query and insert web services and have double checked my code for the update web service but can't figure out why this is failing. Any idea on why this error might be occurring, or any pointers on what I need to be aware of?

Store data in mysql after reading from excel files

i am trying to make o program where i will read the data from excel files and i will store them in a database. I am using eclipse as editor and mySQL. I am using APACHE POI to read the excel files and JDBC for the connection. The excel files have the structure as shown below:
ID NAME SALARY STREET
321 TIM 1254 14 avenue
121 PAUL 1265 28h oktovriou
432 NICK 4521 papaflessa
I have of course plenty of such files which contains many more rows and columns. The purpose of my program is to read the data, create table named as the name of the excel file and the fields of each table to be the first rows of the excel file. Afterwards the values will be the rest data of the excel file. In the code below i have managed to read them, show the data in the console. Afterwrds i am trying to call a database with JDBC but there i have problem when i create the table.
try
String[] allFields;
String createTableStr = "CREATE TABLE" + createTableStr
+ "(" + org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils.join(allFields,
",") + ")";
Could anyone help me?

How can I generate a data merge that includes a barcode from excel spreadsheet to InDesign?

Can you please advise if the following process is possible within InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).
We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The data merge is for several thousand records.
We have a customer-supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, one of which is a number that ultimately needs to print as a barcode when we make the data merge in InDesign.
As you would expect, the conventional six fields data merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the barcode print correctly within the data merge.
We have investigated several possible solutions without success.
Some solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel to convert the number into a barcode whilst still in the spreadsheet - but this doesn't come across correctly when we import the CSV file into the InDesign data merge.
We have investigated certain third party software applications but none provide the full solution we require. Some, for example, appear to create the barcode within the Excel spreadsheet but don't produce the barcode correctly when we data merge in InDesign; and some will allow us to create a one-off barcode within InDesign but have no automated way of retrieving the thousands of Excel numbers and turning them into barcodes.
We have also come across possible 'font' solutions but have had no success with these either.
For a previous job we needed to produce we outsourced to a specialist mailing company, who assured us they produced the whole job (very quickly) within InDesign. They, understandably, won't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they produced the job for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.
Can you please advise?

See second posting atHow do I generate a data merge in InDesign from an excel spreadsheet which includes a barcode

Upload a table data(using a transient VO) from excel using ADF DI

Hi
I have a scenario where I need to get data from excel into a custom method in model layer.
Requirement:
Transient VO(associated to AM, shown in datacontrols) included in the jspx as a table
I used the same table/tree binding to use it as a table in the excel sheet. I have a custom method in AM(that is exposed) that is invoked on click of a button.
Problem is that the data is not coming up to that method.
Here is the code I used in the custom method
RowSet rowSetVO = (RowSet)findViewObject("ReadOnlyVO");
Row[] allRowsInRange = rowSetVO.getAllRowsInRange();
for(int i=0; i<allRowsInRange.length;i++) {
ReadOnlyVO1RowImpl indRow = (ReadOnlyVO1RowImpl)allRowsInRange;
System.out.println("Name :: "+indRow.getName());
The same code is running fine and the data getting uploaded/shown in the method when the corresponding jspx is used. But when excel is used, nothing is coming up.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ravi

Let's assume that your VO has some existing rows and that the user clicked a button that included Table.Download.
Now, the user modifies various rows in the ADF(di) Table component in Excel.
The next step is for the user to click a ribbon command that includes Table.Upload.
This ADFdi action will upload the altered rows to the VO and invoke the configured commit action.
Please review this doc for more info:

Importing data from Excel Spreadsheet into SOP

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me where I can find instructions on how to import data into SOP form an Excel spreadsheet. I know there is a used exit MCP20001 EXIT_SAPMMCP6_001 but I don't see a transaction to execute this import exit from. Please help/clarify.
Thank you
I will award points to all who respond with useful information on importing info into SOP

Dear,
Please note the info structure os not different for different versions. ALl inactive versions are also storead in the same info struture.
The info structure will be different only of the planning type is different. For standard SOP the info stucture is S076.
You could also create your own info structures for the planning types you have created using flexible planning.
For copying within the same info structures use transaction MC78. Here select the inactive version in the source and select the active version in the target. The copy with the button given for this.
Within the MC87 copying is only possible between different info structures.
Hope this helps your understanding.
