Using Excel Xp and DTS to Produce reports
We are using DTS to automate report production using Excel XP and the spreadsheet tool-kit. The DTS package runs fine manually, but it hangs up when we try to schedule the package. Has anyone tried this or run into something similar?Thanks.
<p>I have run into this issue before. Bear in mind that when thescheduler actually runs the job the process owner is the same asthat for the SQL Agent service. When you run the job manually youare the process owner so there may be a permissions issue. Be suresure to configure the job log as well as the package log. If thepackage is not being found, delete the job and and reschedule byright-clicking the package and select Schedule Package.</p>

Using blobsin database and ole in forms ,reports
Dear forum ,
I have one thread to you, its stopping me from moving forward.
I am using forms 6i ,reports 6i ,db above 9i.
I had created database table haveing one blob column ,used the column in form as ole object and inserted a record contains (opened ms office excel sheet ,i need some part of rows columns matrix copied -it contains data taken) copied in forms runtime and saved.
And the same table used in oracle reports the column as ole column, generated the output to pdf ,or word .
the inserted records -bolob images are not retriveing or not shown in generated file can be pdf or word or html ?
what is the reason.
can you help me the proceeding.
Thanks & Regards ,
Deviprasad.mI don't think its possible to include a word-doc or a pdf stored in a blob in a report. A blob in reports can be used to show an image, like a jpg or gif.

Using member sorting and grouping with two reports sharing rows
Hi!
I have a problem with one report and I need some help or advise here.
I have two dimensions with dynamic expansion in rows (PRODUCT, MATERIAL), and I use the option Member Sorting and Grouping at Member selector to obtain the total amount of PRODUCT group by PARENTH1:
PRODUCT MATERIAL AMOUNT
TOTAL PROD_A-X 100
PROD_A_A MAT1 22
PROD_A_B MAT1 50
PROD_A_A MAT2 28
TOTAL PROD_B-X 120
PROD_B_A MAT1 30
PROD_B_A MAT2 50
PROD_B_B MAT2 40
This works fine if I only have one report, but I need to create another one sharing the row and page axis with the Default Report, when I do that the option Member Sorting and Grouping doesn't work. I really need to have two reports with shared rows and also the summation by PARENTH1, how can I do that?
Thank you very muchHi!

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much! -
I created a report that will use Excel as a datasource. The report runs fine from my desktop. I would like to place this report on the Business Objects Server. Can anyone tell me what I would need to do in regards to the excel file.
In addition to this issue, when I moved the excel file to a shared folder and reconfigured the system dsn, the report would not run. I received an error message: could not decrypt data. Any help would be appreicated. Thanks.Hi
Put the excel file on a network drive which is accessible by the server.
Create a Crystal Report using the Access/Excel DAO connection based on the above excel file.
Save it to the enterprise.
Hope this helps!!

Hello. I bought sound card Creative XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro some days ago. Now I decide to activate DDL and DTS support but I don't know where is my activation code. It's missing in instalation CDs and package of card. On this package there is only S/N and thats all. Where should I find it's And my second qestion is what are requirements? for full using of DDL and DTS codecs in hardware? Should I have any special hardware or only my soundcard is enough and is neccesery to make different hardware connection to my speakers(I have analog connection)?
Thanks for your advises.

Although I buried and posted the following question indirectly in a recent post, I would like to do so here to try and elevate it in the hope that I can get an answer.
It is in regards to creating reports using Excel 2103 to querry Project Server 2013 Online using oData. I would like to be able to control the langauge of my reports that I create for others to view.
Just creating and then saving the Report and Data Connections in a language directory does not seem to drive or determine the language of the report. A colleague of mine over here is using the same directories as I am, and his turn
out to be French like his environment. Mine, even though I save the files in same the French directories, display in English.
Any ideas on how I can create reports so that they display in another language, eg., French when using Excel to create reports? I know that we can set the language in an internet browser to control the language that the result is returned, for instance,
when querying https://.../pwa/_api/ProjectData/$metadata
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)Correction! Thanks to Doug Welsby of Microsoft and some our other MS friends who worked behind the scenes to correct/ assist me on this, I got the right answer after all... the difference between, example a French oData command/ statement,
and an English one is the inclusion of the square brackets with the language abbreviation/ code e.g., "[Fr..]" in the oData connection string/ statement. For further reference, see the connection files provided by Microsoft in the Reports and
compare the syntax for the same report/ different language. There is where you will see what and how Excel is able to differentiate/ control what language that the report result will return.

I am thinking of buying and I pad 2. Is it compatible with pcs? Is it a good option for a college computer? I have a Mac at home that i can use to print written reports off but is it possible to download a report to a pc and use excel or some other system like that? Or does Apple have app like excel.
Also do most professors accept Apple documents? Like pages and such.
Thanks for the Assist Ashton.iPads are absolutely compatible with Windows PCs. Through iTunes File Sharing you can transfer documents from supported apps to your computer. Most professors don't support iWork file formats, however iWork on the iPad can save in either iWork format or Microsoft Office format so you will be fine as long as you save it as an Office format.

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:

https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram

Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any problems creating and filling an excel sheet with data. I use the New Report.vi, Easy Title.vi, and Easy Text.vi to create the file. I then save and dispose properly.
What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
toddHi Todd,
You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
Hope this helps,

Report Generation Toolkit Excel errors and Libraries, Classes
Hello All,
I'm using the Report Generation toolkit Excel functions to handle some data and create graphs. I'm running into problems with the Add Worksheet.vi. At the very start of the vi, it closes the reference to Shapes. Occasionally, the Close Ref will throw an error. I haven't pinned down the exact cause yet (probably an invalid reference). The error itself wouldn't be a problem. Under other circumstances I would choose to ignore it and continue on. The problem is, this is stored in a Class Library controlled by NI.
Solutions I've tried without success:
1.) Make changes, and save the new vi with another name - can't do it because it's encapsulated and the Library is password protected.
2.) Install toolkit in something other than the default folder, so I can make changes and put it under Source Control - installer doesn't allow a new path to be entered.
3.) Change the vi where it is. This works until I move the source to another computer or I update Labview. At that point I lose all my changes.
Maybe it's just my inexperience with Classes, but I just don't see an elegant solution to this. Ultimately I'd like to copy the library off to somewhere else and put it under Source Control so I can make changes and additions to it (NI folks - providing a password to unlock the lib would be helpful...). Does anyone have suggestions on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks in Advance,
DougHi Ben,
Sorry about the first post. After re-reading it, it sounds more like a frustrated rant than a request for help.
I've attached a simplified vi to try to illustrate the problem I'm having. I'm running Excel 2007. Please open the vi, then open Excel Add Worksheet.vi. At the start of the vi, Close Ref for Excel.Shapes occasionally throws an error. So far, I have not been able to consistently reproduce the error, so I can't really troubleshoot it. As I recall, the error code is 1045. The error is carried through the rest of the vi, causing invalid references to be written to Excel._Worksheet and Excel.Shapes, going out to NI_report.ctl.
So, here are the issues I'm running into (other than the error itself):
1.)Short of closing and reopening the file, there is no way to recover from the error. After the error, there is an invalid reference in Excel._Worksheet. There is no vi available to regenerate references in NI_report.ctl. I could easily write a vi to start from Excel._Application and re-read them, but because NI_report.ctl is in a Class library (controlled and passworded by NI), I can't add the vi to the library.
2.) I found that I could ignore the error by wiring around it. If I disconnect Error Out from Excel.Shapes Close Ref and wire Error In from Excel.Sheets.Count to the Error In of the Close Ref, everything works fine. Under other circumstances, I'd save this with a new vi name (because functionality changed) and continue on. But, because the vi is part of a Class library (controlled and passworded by NI), I can't do this. I can save the vi with the modifications (because Excel Add Worksheet.vi is not passworded), but if I pass the source off to someone else, they will have to make the same changes on their installation of the NI Report Generation Toolkit.
Again, I can't reproduce the error with any regularity. I've run the example vi I provided a few times and everything seems to work fine. If I come up with something, I'll repost. If you (or anyone) has an idea of what could be failing or if they've seen the problem, I'd appreciate a comment.
Thanks again,
Doug

Logfile Generation utilizing "Excel" (Creating and Appending Report)
All,
As always, thanks for the help you have given me in the past....especially the Vets. I have tried to figure out a solution to my issue from the message board, but no solution seems to fit what I am doing.
Here is my situation...... I am using Labview to test my product one unit at a time. I have always used Teststand and report generation from there, but this time it is strictly Labview. This is my first attempt to create a logfile with Excel that appends one xls file everytime one unit is tested.
The way my test is set up now, I test and collect the data in an array for when I created the logfile generation VI. I took several stabs at it, looked at examples, but cant figure out the direction I need to go to create this. Here is the parameteres necessary for the logfile (spreadsheet).
-All UUT's will go into one spreadsheet and the spreadsheet will be appended by adding new data in next available row.
-Data is imported to spreadsheet in array format.
-Test data that passes will be green, test data that fails will be red (I can figure this out, but this is why I need to use Excel)
-I want to use Excel so I have more flexibility for graphs and things of that nature in the future.
It seems rather simple, but not for me.....lol. If I go to the Report Generation Toolkit, i see "Create Report" and "Append Report"....but Append Report still wants the "report input" node wired. What do I wire that to? For example, if I have an excel spreadsheet called hangover.xls, do I somehow wire hangover.xls to the input? I am having trouble finding answers. I would really appreciate a simple JPG or VI so I can understand the setup for what I want to do.
Comments and links to threads/help appreciated!
RyanHi Evan,
Thanks for the other examples....I thought I was going to be able to manipulate them into what I want, but ended up spending about 6 hours playing with it and up to 2am. I am getting so frustrated with this. This is new ground for me, I never have experimented with logfile creation. I am sorry to keep bothering you with this but I am ready to pull my hair out. I attached a couple Vi's....Spreadsheet import is the main VI and report.vi is the sub.....i need to rename them better but haven't got there.
First off, that VI you posted that I couldn't open, could you just take a JPG of the block diagram? That would really help.
I need to create a spreadsheet with logfile data in rows. The spreadsheet is to be appended for each unit under test. Each unit under test gets one row and all data is written at the end of the test. If you look at the spreadsheet_import.vi, I am basically taking a bunch of 1D arrays of data to create one long 1D array for one row.
Every month a new spreadsheet is created (so log file data is divided into months) , and that is what the report.vi does....it looks to see if the filename is already created and if not, sends a boolean to the write to spreadsheet file to append. I reverted to "write to spreadsheet" because for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to use the worksheet portion to do this. I would think this should be pretty simple, but I cannot figure out and its not for lack of trying.
If I use "write to spreadsheet", I am going to run into problems because I ultimately want to use a excel template with formulas but if I can figure it out, this will have to do.
All I really want to do is to create a spreadsheet if one doesnt exist or append if it does, combine all my 1d array data, and create one row with this data. The other issue I ran into before is I cant figure out how to tell Excel where the next row is.......UUGHHHH! This is definitely stressing me out as I have a deadline and I will gladly sent a case of beer to Norway for the help received.
Dying Here,
Ryan
