WIS 10883 using large Excel File as source for report in WebI RichClient

Hi,
I'm trying to use a relatively large Excel 2003 file, say 7000 rows and 19 columns, as a source for a report in WebI Rich Client. When selecting a range of only 1500 records and 19 columns everything works, when accessing the full 7000 (or originally 30,000) I get this error message.
Does anybody know of a size limit for this and if so an option to adjust it? The only resources for this very limited.
Thanks
Norman Ruppert

Tina,
I'm not sure why you are so negative to having Excel in the mix.
Excel is only used at development time - its mearly used as a design interface to build the xcelsius model that feeds data and controls components within the flash file that xcelsius generates.
Excel is not used at run time in any way (unless one uses a third party connector to use an XLS as a data source of course).
If you attempt to use xceslius without using the OLE embeded Excel sheet at design time you will only be able to create VERY simplistic dashboards.
The new connectivity in version 4 just removes a design step to make development simpler my combining direct to components - but behind the sceens i believe it is really only connecting to a hidden part of the model not shown the the Excel interface at design time!
i think we would all agree that having excel can be a pain at design time (especially those that used/use live office!) but it does offer a pretty good interface for building very intuative looking models behind your flash components.
cheers,
Jeremy.

Using Microsoft Word file as template for Report.

Hi all
I want to use a Microsoft Word file for my report as template. For example I will write following text in word file.
"Dear Mr, &<column_name1>
You are invited to offical dinner by &<column_name2>."
And my report should generate the letters for all the employees (using the same look and feel as given in word). Here <column_name1> contains list of all employees and <column_name2> contains list of their supervisors.
Thanks in Advance

Using an Excel file as a dynamic data source? Opinions needed...

I have posted this topic before, but as always; in order to get the relevant correct answer you have to ask the correct question.
I'm trying to create a number of Pricelists linked to an Excel/CSV file. I have a Excel file that contains Pricelist information which is Product specific.
I have had a number of suggestion that follow:
A direct link to the Excel file. PROs: Excel file can be uploaded on FTP and overwritten if (and when) amended. Linking this is easy peasy in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can download info straight away on request - no hassle. CONs: Simply, not everyone has Excel and those who don't can not access the information.
Import Excel file as tabular data. PROs: Fairly easy to do in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can see info straight away. CONs: Can be time consuming on larger Excel files. NOT amendable (so a number of price changes becomes a big job). Can't simply overwrite Excel file on FTP. Larger Excel files can take a lot of page space and thus require tonnes of scrolling).
Use the Excel file as a dynamic data source. --Not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- PROs: ? CONs: Contributor added this suggestion is not a good idea as it performs poorly on the web.
Create a dynamic page using a database and import the Excel file to that....or maintain the price list in the database rather than an Excel file. --Again not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- My understanding of this option is that it will require XML data and SPRY work. Is this correct? Can this be someone who is not an advanced user?
If once again, I'm off the mark and better suggestions can be thought - please do so.
As you can see I'm at a bit of a crossroads so an suggestions, comment, help, links, tutorials or applause would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing the comments this throws up!

Hi
Although not everyone has excel just about everyone can open csv files in some way, if not offer the option to download "open office" which is free for the pc, as for the mac they have a program installed by default to use csv files.
The import tabular data is not really an option for the reasons stated.
Use excel as data source - not a good idea, requires asp.net to work correctly otherwise it does run slow and is not recommended if you are expecting more than a very small number of users.
As for the dynamic with database, this can be done with xml and spry but if you have a large amount of data this is almost as bad as the option above. You are probably better creating a database and importing your excel spreadsheet into this, for tutorials on creating a php/mysql database and set-up of testing server see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/application_development.html.
No matter which way you go with the last option it will require a fair amount of knowledge and experience to do correctly, efficiently and securely.

Large excel files won't combine to pdf in Acrobat X or XI

I have large Excel files (0.3 to 1.2 MB) that I used to combine into a single pdf. It will only work now on Excel files smaller than 1MB. This was working a few weeks ago. What happened? I have tried on computers that have both Acrobat X and XI (we have both scattered around our building).
Any ideas? Thanks.

FileOpen is a security add-on, which is needed to open some files. Not a part of Adobe software. Maybe you need to upgrade or report it: http://www.fileopen.com/

How to use a excel file to create a service component?

Dear all,
I want to use a excel file to create a service to be my data source. I used the wizard to do that but i always got a message. "The data format is not valid, fields in each record must be delimited by tab charactors, and each record seperated by new line charactors". How should I reformat my excel file to fit the requirements? I have already chang the field`s format into 'text' type. Thx ^^

Hi Louis,
[Here|http://img125.imageshack.us/my.php?image=exceltestlo7.jpg] is the result of your data. I downloaded your excel sheet and created a simulated service in 7.1.1 and it works fine.
Below are the steps:
1. Go to Tools -> service component wizard
2. The popup opens : Step1 : Enter the name of your service component
3. Go to Excel spreadsheet Copy the data for which the service needs to be created.
4. Step 2 : Paste the copied Excel data in the popup
5. Step 3 : Define Input -> just click next
6. Step 4: Define Conditions -> just click finish.
Let me know if it helps.
Good Luck,

I need to sort very large Excel files and perform other operations. How much faster would this be on a MacPro rather than my MacBook Pro i7, 2.6, 15R?

I am a scientist and run my own business. Money is tight. I have some very large Excel files (~200MB) that I need to sort and perform logic operations on. I currently use a MacBookPro (i7 core, 2.6GHz, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3) and I am thinking about buying a multicore MacPro. Some of the operations take half an hour to perform. How much faster should I expect these operations to happen on a new MacPro? Is there a significant speed advantage in the 6 core vs 4 core? Practically speaking, what are the features I should look at and what is the speed bump I should expect if I go to 32GB or 64GB? Related to this I am using a 32 bit version of Excel. Is there a 64 bit spreadsheet that I can us on a Mac that has no limit on column and row size?

Grant Bennet-Alder,
It’s funny you mentioned using Activity Monitor. I use it all the time to watch when a computation cycle is finished so I can avoid a crash. I keep it up in the corner of my screen while I respond to email or work on a grant. Typically the %CPU will hang at ~100% (sometimes even saying the application is not responding in red) but will almost always complete the cycle if I let it go for 30 minutes or so. As long as I leave Excel alone while it is working it will not crash. I had not thought of using the Activity Monitor as you suggested. Also I did not realize using a 32 bit application limited me to 4GB of memory for each application. That is clearly a problem for this kind of work. Is there any work around for this? It seems like a 64-bit spreadsheet would help. I would love to use the new 64 bit Numbers but the current version limits the number of rows and columns. I tried it out on my MacBook Pro but my files don’t fit.
The hatter,
This may be the solution for me. I’m OK with assembling the unit you described (I’ve even etched my own boards) but feel very bad about needing to step away from Apple products. When I started computing this was the sort of thing computers were designed to do. Is there any native 64-bit spreadsheet that allows unlimited rows/columns, which will run on an Apple? Excel is only 64-bit on their machines.
Many thanks to both of you for your quick and on point answers!

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

I am having trouble opening a large Excel file (xlsx) on my iPad3

Do I need to purchase an app to be able to open this large Excel file?

Of course. No computer will open a file without an appropriate program to do so. Search the App Store for "spreadsheets" to get an idea of what software is available. Aples own "Numbers" might be considered, or "QuickOffice" or several others,

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Multi data providers (oracle DB and Excel file) in one BO report

I have to create one BO report. There is one Excel file, with Type, type_ID,(each type has many different type_ids), eg
type                 type_id
IHEI                  IHEI121
IHEI                  IHEI132
IHEI                  IHEI212
IHDI                 IHDI511
IHDI                 IHDI232
IDWU              IDWU212
IDWU              ...............
now I want to count the occurrences of these type_ids in the oracle database.
This should be relatively easy, with
select type, type_id, count(type_id)
from my_table
where type in ('IHEI', ...)
however, since the there are many more data in the database than in the Excel file, it will also count those type_ids that are not in the Excel file
So, how to get rid of those type_ids and keep only those coming from the Excel file?
thanks for your help!

Hi Eric,
   In the main report, bring in your table.field(s) etc.
Then create a sub report and hook it up to the Excel file.
Link the sub to the main and display (...by "Type" ? ...)
all the Type_ID's.

How use parameters on a html region for report query region

Hi all.
I have created a number of report regions which initially query some data.
The requeriment now is to have a date range (initial and final) and use this range as a parameter for report queries.
i created a new region containing these two date values. Now i need to:
- Give this date fields and initial value: say first and last day of current month.
- Perform a validation to ensure initial date is less or equal to final date.
- And most importantly, i need to reexecute the queries based on this date range.
How do i do it...?
Thanks in advance ...!

Data source for report

Hi guys.
Can somebody let me know how to set data source for report?
I did import "import.zip" and "bootstrp.zip".
I did run "HFPBMMAK.PRO".
I did create model connection of "HFPBM"
Best Regards,
Chul.

Chul,
You only have to import either import.zip OR the bootstrap.zip, not both.
I don't know if you have SSM 7.5 or SSM 10, this will be for 7.5
If you have followed the set-up correctly, you should be able to open the demolauncher -
http://localhost:50000/strategy/pilotworks/demolauncher.htm
Where localhost = server 50000 = port
You should open the Administrator interface of your demo and Set Scorecard Defaults. For a context make sure that the PAS Model Connection is set for the model connection you set - HFPBM.
You also need to make sure that Manage Application Groups have your user added for the context you selected.
(For 10 the application groups are managed in NetWeaver)
Regards,
Bob

Reading and Writing large Excel file using JExcel API

hi,
I am using JExcelAPI for reading and writing excel file. My problem is when I read file with 10000 records and 95 columns (file size about 14MB), I got out of memory error and application is crashed. Can anyone tell me is there any way that I can read large file using JExcelAPI throug streams or in any other way. Jakarta POI is also showing this behaviour.
Thanks and advance

Sorry when out of memory error is occurred no stack trace is printed as application is crashed. But I will quote some lines taken from JProfiler where this problem is occurred:
          reader = new FileInputStream(new File(filePath));
          workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(reader);
          *sheeet = workbook.getSheet(0);* // here out of memory error is occured
           JProfiler tree:
jxl.Workbook.getWorkBook
      jxl.read.biff.File
             jxl.read.biff.CompoundFile.getStream
                   jxl.read.biff.CompoundFile.getBigBlockStream Thanks

Help required in using same excel file as both Input and Output source

Hello Programmers, Here I am trying to read, modify and write an excel file using JAVA, I have successfully employed Jakarta POI and read the file but the problem is that I can''t make changes in the same file and save it.
I can't use the same file for "FileInputStream" and "FileOutputStream" I think this is causing major hurdle. Any kind of suggestion and help is truly appreciated and welcome. Thank you for your time. Here I am posting my code its a bit crude please pardon.

The above code can successfully read the excel document and caliculates the sum and averages of the columns, can any one please help me in writing the same into the same file in additional rows. Thank you very much for your time.

May be you can try to create a temporary copy of the file, do your update on it and then overwrite the original.

Exporting large excel file exception

Hello-
I am using Jasper reports within a j2ee application to generate an excel file, and this file is written on the reponse outputstream. It is deployed as a web application on Oracle application server 10g
When the generated xls file is large like 2 Mb or more, Oracle application server throws ServletException and sometimes NullpointerException.
The same application runs smoothly on the IBM Webshpere test server embedded on websphere application developer.
I tried to increase the reponse buffer size for AS10g but the problem is still there.
Could anyone help in this?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
Unfortunately, Xcelsius is not designed to handle the large volume of embedded data that you have described. There are basically 2 approaches to resolve your issue:
1) Try to aggregate the data and simplify the lookups, to reduce the total number of cells until Xcelsius is able to process it;
2) Store the large volume of data in an external data source and retrieve only the necessary subset of data via one of Xcelsius's external connectivity options including web services or XML etc.
Also, with 15 tabs, depending on the number of components you have within each tab panel, you may also be pushing the limit of how many total components Xcelsius can handle. However, based on your comments, I would say the real issue is the 8MB Excel file, a size which Xcelsius simply cannot handle.
Regards,
Mustafa.
