Webi export to excel misaligned border free cell

Hi
I'm using Webi XI 3.1 SP3 FP 3.3.
I've a report in which I've put border using a Free standing cell. When I export this report in Excel format (browser/rich client), the border comes as empty at the start of the excel and after which the report blocks/data come.
Why is this happening?
Thanks
Deep

hi Deep,
Blank Cell is not treated as block.
Whereas Chart and tables are treated as blocks.
Hence the relative positioning between the blocks is preserved.
But not blank cell.
This can be observed by looking at properties tab of Chart/Table. You will see 'name' as block
But this doesn't holds good for Blank cell.
That's the reason Excel treats it as a separate entity.

Vamsee

Webi export to excel having issues.

Hi,
I have a webi report which generates 62 mb excel file when exported to excel.
It can be saved to excel without any error but when we open the excel report it shows the error that there are some damage done to report and excel is trying to recover it.
I have tried increasing the heap size , cache size of webi report server , tried exporting to Excel 2000, 2003 and 2007 , but get the same results,
Can anybody please help me solving it soon.
I have attached the report in the attachment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
But the problem is the report has two tabs and the number of rows is only 20000 + 4000 which is not exceeding the limit column are 22 which is also in range.
The problem i think is because of number of hyperlinks, there are almost 15 columns and 20000 + 4000 rows with hyperlinks in the report.
When i change the properties of hyperlink to be read as text. the excel can be easily opened. and also the file size reduces to half.
Any idea about this hyperlink creating issues?

Bex Web - Export to Excel / Export to PDF

Hi gurus,
Using BI-IP.
In a web-template, I use the function "Export to Excel 2000" (or "Printable version", which generates a PDF file). The function works, except that at detailed level there is no data for input-ready columns.
Is it a known bug ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : it works fine for a user of mine

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

Please suggest as this will help me a lot.

2) Check in the fomat cell --> Appearance .

Export to Excel is not working for List View Web Part after filtering using Query String parameters in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I am filtering SharePoint list view web part based on Query string parameter and I am doing Export to Excel by using following code.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.location='../_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=0DC67399-BE11-48F3-ADFC-E911FB8B5845&View=54671412-3EFE-4281-835A-9EF747AE774E&CacheControl=1'"><img
alt="Excel" src="/_layouts/images/icxlsx.gif" border="0"/> Export to Excel</a>
Issue: Able to do Export to Excel when there are no filters applied on list view web part but if applied filters on web part and do export to excel , only header fields are displaying in the excel sheet.
I don't know why owssvr.dll is behaving like that .
Please share your ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create hyperlink to export to excel.
The URL to execute the export is as follows:
{Site URL}/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List={List GUID}&View={View GUID}&CacheControl=1
After getting the GUID, you need to “decode” the list GUID.
Replace %7B with {
Replace %2D with –
Replace %7D with }

Web Intelligence export to Excel misses some fields

Hi,
Our system is running BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP3 (no fix packs). The behavior I'm seeing is when exporting a particular Webi doc to Excel.
Here is some background info for the document I am attempting to export to Excel. The doc contains a section and the section has a crosstab including description header cells. I have added an additional cell at the top of the section with section specific information in it- nothing that strange yet. If my InfoView (Web Intelligence) preferences is set so that 'Select a priority for saving to MS Excel' is set to 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel' then the exported document is missing the additional cell at the top of the section (all other data is fine). If the setting is set to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents' then the Excel export works perfectly.
My question is why would this be? The cell is just a simple dimension (string). My only fear about changing this Excel setting is that there is a warning in the 'Business Objects XI 3.1 Release Notes' guide. It states
Large Web Intelligence documents should be saved to Excel format using the "Prioritize data processing" option". The generated Excel might not open if the document is large and saved with the "prioritize formatting" option.
Thanks,
Steve

We are experiencing similar issue using BO 4 SP2 Patch 10 when exporting to Excel with setting 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel'. Exporting data worked after changing WEBI settings to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents'
Documentation regarding this option states following:
"Under "Select a priority for saving to MS Excel", select the option that best fits your needs:
u2022 If you want to display the data in a format that is similar to working in Web Intelligence, then
choose Prioritize the formatting of the documents.
u2022 If you want to display the data in a text format, then choose Prioritize easy data processing in
Excel."
If I understand this explanation correctly then both options should have extracted the same content to Excel. Difference should have been how the contents were formatted and should not have caused loss of information.
I logged support ticket for this issue.

Webi reports - Problem exporting to excel

HI,
I have exported a webi report as an excel file. The report contains a column with numeric values preceded by a dollar sign. After exporting to excel, i want to calculate the sum of the values in that column. However some cells show a numeric value, while some others show string value (i.e. text) because of which I am not being able to calculate the sum. Please help.

Hi there,
Is the object that you are exporting with the dollar sign a string? If so then this is normal because it is not numeric. I tried the workflow in Excel and wen I try to apply a sum, it seems to change one of the values from string to numeric but this is within excel. Maybe this is happening to you too. In order to be able to add a calculation correctly, you need to change the object to a numeric. You can do this by creating a new variable in webi, removing the $ and converting it to a numeric. For Ex: "=ToNumber(Substr([dollar string object];2;10))". Note, if you still want the $ to appear, you can use the format number feature.
Hope this helps!

Problem when exporting Query from Web template to Excel Sheet.

Hello,
Im encoutering a problem when im trying to export query output from web template to excel sheet.
A popup windown appears when excel sheet opens which reads.."problem cameup in the following areas during load : Cell Value".The report layout appears to be fine but the totals shows unwanted values starting with * followed by number.
Any valuable inputs, what could be the problem. where can i rectify the same.
Regards
Ellora

Hello A K,
Thanks for ur time and response but the option u mentioned did not serve my purpose.
The problem seems to be only with pirticular cells.As mentioned earlier the layout appears properly..all the values are seen..but the end result..totals are disturbed.
eg: If the report shows in template the total value :20,668,554...when exported the values is shown as **668553.88000000600000.
So what could be the problem ? any template setting ? global setting to look at ?

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.

Repeating row texts when exporting web report to Excel

Dear all,
When exporting a web report (including a structure/hierarchy) to Excel (via the 'export to excel button), the row texts (e.g. balance sheet texts) appear twice (column A and B)in the Excel result.
When using the web context menu 'Export to Excel' this issue does not occur.
I am using a BW 3.5 system which has been upgraded to support pack 16.
I assume it is the combination of the structure and the 'export to excel' functionality that does not match up, because when I switch off the hierarchy functionality in the web report query properties, the export to excel does not give me any problems.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Arjan.

Did you write that software, COTS package called Medgate?
If not then ask that company for support. No one here would know how to fix it. They are using the CR RDC report engine.
Thank you
Don

Output from Web Analysis Related Content will not Export to Excel

I have Web Analysis reports, data in which is sourced from an EIS database. I have drill thru reports that are accessible from "Related Content". The resulting report is created fine, but cannot be exported into Excel. Specifically, I'm prompted for the location of Excel on my pc. Once I browse to it, it will open in Excel.
I have upgraded from Office 10 to Office 12, although I cannot say for certain that is when this problem started occurring.
Secondly, there are no other BI+ issues with export to Excel. For example, FR and WA export fine. The ExcelPath in the webanalysis.properties file takes care of that. I'm hoping there is something similar to update for this problem.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone else has encountered this and successfully resolved. BI+ version is 9.3.1.

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...
Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\EXCEL.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
EXCEL.EXE
WordPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\WINWORD.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
WINWORD.EXE
PPTPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\POWERPNT.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
POWERPNT.EXE
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
ExportDataFullPrecision=true
To me this does not seem the way to go
This did not correct my problem.
Any ideas?
thanks
Erich

Hello,
Even we have the same issue.And changed the path in webanalysis.properties file.And it worked in entire report but in drillthru reports, export to excel 2010 didn't work and prompting to select the path to excel.Does anyone has solution for this??

Export to excel/word/ppt failed at Web Analysis studio

Hi,
I open a document and right click to select export data and select Microsoft excel or word or ppt, and after input the file name, it will prompt an error message saying "can not export to file".
Is there any prerequisite to use the Export to Excel/Word/PPT functionalities at Web analysis studio of EPM 11.1.2? Do I need to install office at the server side?
Or I need specific version of office at client?
Thanks

From memory: you need to have MSOffice installed on the report/print server and also the corresponding mimetypes added to workspace.
