Webi refresh from Excel

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on an Excel file with columns as Material Number, Order Qty, Status and am reading this data from a Webi report. The data seems to be showing correctly the first time I create this new Webi and read data.
If I now go back and change any data in underlying Excel file, the Webi refuses to show the new entries and will still be showing the old entries. I have purged the webi report but still no joy.
Could anyone tell me why it is failing to read the changes? Is there anything that needs to be done on the IDT itself to get the data refreshed?
Thanks

Hi,
Did you do refresh structure in Data Foundation layer and republish to repository?.
If the above steps are done already then go to WebI>> Data tab >> select the same universe and excel >> remap the objects and refresh the reports. This should work.
Thanks,
Jothi

Generating webi report from excel sheet.

Hi to all.
can I generate the web intelligence report by excel sheets in info view,if yes how can I generate them or any alternative solution exist to this..
please reply
thanks in advance

Hi Rajat,
Starting from BOXI R3.0 version, Rich client is used for accessing WebI reports other than Infoview. i.e. Similar to Desk top intelligence, it can be installed in any local machine and using it we can access WebI reports.
If you don't have Rich client then install it in your pc, then start creating WebI reports from excel using Rich client.
Navigation: Open rich client -> select local source(browse to your doucment i.e excel sheet) -> select required tab in excel(for the report) -> ok
Cheers,

Problem in accessing Web Service from Excel

Hi All,
I have faced a new problem when calling WS from Excel.
I have created a WS from CAF which has one method and the method takes a list (a table) of structure as an input and returns a string as output. The structure contains three fields
such as
medPlace -- String
publictn - String
amount - long
This WS is working fine when I am testing from WS Nevigator.
Now I have imported the WS in Excel and now the data types are like
medPlace -- String
publictn - String
amount - double
My requirement is to send the multiple row of the Excel to the WS at a time( I mean as a List). So when I have executed it first time I got error like deserialisation error. But I got an article (SAP Web Services and Microsoft Office: How to Create Simple Composite Applications ) by Marcus Schiffer and that problem is resolved.
But Now I am getting the error like ......Client:Type conversion failure for element eXLSTRUCT0 HRESULT=0x80020005: Type mismatch. - Client:Unspecified client error. HRESULT=0x80020005: Type mismatch.
eXLSTRUCT0 - This is my structure name in input.
Can you please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible that your web service is receiving something
with an ill
formed tag. I'd second bitwyse's suggestion.

Web Services from Excel

Hi,
i want to use Excel (office 2003) with the web services toolkit from Microsoft (2.01) to call Web services from SAP (ABAP 7.0).
In the 6.40 version of ABAP i was able to call a web service also with some complex data types (internal tables) from excel. Finally the trick was to avoid empty input complex types.
Now trying this with the new version seems impossible. The system always respond "deserialisation failed". Tracking the problem shows a nice SOAP request in the SAP system, however, somehow the "deserialisation" error occurs here.
Is there any hint on how to deal with this kind of error ?
Thanks for any advice.
Marcus

Calling WebAS Java from Excel Macro

Hi,
somebody told me there were a way to call WebAS Java from an Excel Macro and make a login into SAP using a real existing user (not a technical user). Does anybody know where to find documentation about this or how to get this accomplished?
Thanks, Oliver Plohmann

I need Dreamweaver CS4 to take this spreadsheet and generate a series of web pages. The head section will be the same for all the generated HTML files. A sample page can be viewed here.
If I can locate a script that will do this then I can take an extension for a Joomla web site and pass along the series of page to it. The Joomla extension will then create my articles for me.
Cordially,
Wayne

Thanks for the thought, but that generates one large page with each row an item on the page. What I need is for DW to take each row and create a page of that row. Even then, in Excel you have to insert rows before my first row of data. Into thos rows you paste the head information doctype, metadata, the closing head, etc., etc. Then you have to add a row at the end closing the body and html statements.
I'll have to try this with something else. For something so simple you'd figure there was a script to do it.
Cordially,
Wayne

Excel Pivot (molap) will not refresh from an SSAS box that is not part of the Farm

I have spent hours trying to get this working going through many links. One of the best ones is this.
http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2010/12/connecting-to-cubes-and-external-data-with-excel-in-sharepoint/
However even after doing all of this it is still not working. Here is my set up. I have a sharepoint 2013. I am trying to connect to my DW SSAS server that is on a different domain and not part of the farm. Everything else seems to
work but excel. I have power view connecting and creating great reports with refesh working perfect. I have performance point working. I have Reporting Services working. We installed adventureworks on the local SSAS farm version and
excel is working with this and refreshed just fine. I can ceate and excel report and save it to sharepoint but when I open it I get the famous error.
An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh:
I can open in excel and then refresh all from excel and all works fine. I do not want my users to have to go through this. They should be able to use excel in sharepoint. Any ideas on what I am missing. I have tried to follow exactly
what the link above says but still not working.
Ken Craig

The first article is checking to make sure power pivot is installed and local ssas is running. This could not be an issue since like I mentioned I can create a Excel report to the local farm version of ssas and it opens and refreshed fine. That
would mean that power pivot is installed and the services are running right:)?
The second article I have done over and over and I am pretty sure this works. Again I can export to excel and it works just fine meaning my Data source is valid right? yes I have chosen "none" as well.
The third article talks about the different viewers. Mine is using
xlviewer.aspx so I would assume this is not the issue.
Here is what I am seeing in the logs but I am not sure what they are saying. I used uls view somewhat like you would profiler. I started it tried to open excel and then stopped it. Below are logs that look like they pertain to this action.

Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro

Hi All,
I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
          import java.io.File;
          import java.util.Date;
          import jxl.*;
         Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
          Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
String a1 = a1.getContents();
String b2 = b2.getContents();
String c2 = c2.getContents();
// perform operations on strings
However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
String a1 = null;
Double b2 = 0;
Date c2 = null;
                    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                    if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                       LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                       stringa1 = lc.getString();
                     if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                       NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                       numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                      if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                        DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                        datec2 = dc.getDate();
                       // operate on dates and doubles
It is recommended to, use the close() method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.
          // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
          workbook.close();
The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.

Raghu

Hi Madhu,
According to your description, you can refresh the cube. But the users from a domain can't do this and get the above error. Right?
In this scenario, since you are the only user which can refresh the cube and the other user can't, it might be permission issue. Please re-grant the cube permission (Read/Write) for the domain users. See:
Grant cube or model permissions (Analysis Services).
If the issue persists, please re-install the ASOLEDB10 from Feature Pack, please refer to links below:

This happens only with Mozilla, get correct file name in IE.
Steps to Reproduce:

2)Save the webi report with special character name for e.g øäåýþ.
3)Open the webi report and save it as excel or pdf file.
4)Report name øäåýþ saved, displays with other junk characters instead of actual reporta name( øäåýþ)
5)When saving the save report through IE browser in excel or PDF display correct report name øäåýþ in excel and PDf file.
Even after making changes in character encoding to UTF in the Firefox options (Content tab-> font & colors : advanced button -> Character encoding does not make any difference.
Has anyone came across such type of issue?
Whether this is limitation of Firefox or bug.

Web Form Import From Excel Error

Hi all,
I've an issue regarding the import from Excel function in HFM (9.3.1) web forms.
First of all I export in Excel a form, I input data in yellow cells and then I save the file (I don't change the file extencion that remains xls).
Finally I try to import the modified form by using Import from Excel function.
Once the system finish to load shows me a windows saying that "The data have been saved to the DB" (or something similar) but when I open the web form there are no data.
I've checked carefully the POV and it's the same and I'm using an administrative user.
What can I try to do to fix this issue?? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Giacomo

We submitted a bug report about this in May, 2009.
Bug.7381401--- DATA'S NOT GETTING UPDATED AFTER IMPORT WDEF FROM EXCEL 2007.
After updating from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3, the issue has been resolved. I would assume the bug detail is unpublished, which is unfortunate as this info would pop up in a search of the Oracle Support KB and help out others with the same issue.

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 ?

Pasting data from Excel sheet to Table in web dynpro View

Hii All,
Is it possible to copy data ( some rows) from Excel sheet and paste in table in a view?
I tried doing this, but only first element is getting pasted..
Does anybody know how to do this?
Is there any way to perform similar thing?
Pls help.
regards,
Amey

Hi,
Copy paste may work if you have that many rows in your table(not sure).
One thing you can do is upload the excel and then populate the context of the node bound to the table by fetching data from the excel
For this you can make use of JXL or APACHE POI.

HP ePrint from excel add-in: Error while getting driver name for printer

Trying to use add-in for ePrint from excel/word I get, "error while getting driver name for printer \\...HP DesignJet 800PS 42 by HP," with an option to select "OK" and that same message repeats with each printer in our network, and then it doesn't allow me to print using the add-in. However, I can print normally to HP Go Web, open up Print and Share, then print it from there. This happens with excel and word. I have Office Suite 2007.

Hello modameister,
Sorry you are having issues with this printer and the ePrint add-on. There are a couple of questions I would like you to answer please.
1. What operating system are you using? (XP,VISTA,7,MAC OS X)
2. What and how much data are you trying to print?
3. Have you tried to copy and paste the data into a different application or tried using the snip it tool?
4. Are you receiving any .dll errors (mscms.dll)
Thanks
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.
