Word wrap in RTF for an excel output : BIP 11g

Hi,
If we set the word wrap property in RTF and generate the output in Excel format, it doesnt reflect. However, PDF output reflects the difference.
Looks like Excel overrides the property set in RTF. Is there anyway to text wrap a column for excel output?
Thanks,
Divya

How to control Excel Output in Oracle BI Publisher

I have created an XML report in Oracle E-Business Suite. It displays the output in Excel. The problem is when I generate it's output in PDF it is perfectly fine but when I see the output in Excel, the layout automatically aligns it to the leftmost corner. This behavior is same with all the Excel reports.
My question is: Is it the default behavior of Excel outputs or Can I control the layout so that it is displayed in the middle not the leftmost corner?
Can I center align the layout by default? If so , how?

How to make items in a list word wrap as needed and be variable heights

I am trying to build a custom itemrenderer for the List control. The items in the list are variable lengths of text, some of the text items will have different colors determined at runtime base on some criteria (this works fine now with my custom itemrenderer). What I need is for the items to word wrap, and therefore for the list to display items of varying heights. Is this possible to do? All my attempts seem to have failed. If I can't do this with an item renderer any suggestions about how to do this? Thanks very much in advance to any of you gurus who are able to help me.

Trick here is not to specify any height for the renderer so that Flex will determine the height according to the content. Also set the variableRowHeight="true"
Here is a simple example
<mx:ArrayCollection id="dp">
        <mx:Array>
            <mx:Object label="some very long text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very long text"/>
        </mx:Array>
    </mx:ArrayCollection>
    <mx:List dataProvider="{dp}" variableRowHeight="true">
        <mx:itemRenderer>
            <mx:Component>
                <mx:Canvas width="100%">
                    <mx:Text width="100%" text="{data.label}"/>
                </mx:Canvas>
            </mx:Component>
        </mx:itemRenderer>
    </mx:List>

Word wrap works only selectively

Hi
I'm experiencing the following effect in Discoverer Plus (10.1.2.54.25).:
Situation
Crosstab worksheet with several dimensions on the side. All dimensions have word warp activated.
Problem
Word wrap works only for the dimension that is the furthest to the right. If there is no wrap for that dimension (e. g. because the text is short) there is no wrap for the other dimensions either so text might be hidden. Only if the rightmost dimension wraps the others do so, too.
With several dimensions in the worksheet and text not to be hidden there is not much space left for the data.
Is this a bug or am I expecting to much?

Hi,
Here's the code for generating the excel output, you can write this in button press of form which calls the excel report.It automatically opens a new excel sheet , and then it executes the SQL query, after that each rows will get filled with the values.
First of all you need to makeall the queries in the report in to a single query.
declare
     application CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     workbooks CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     workbook CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     worksheets CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     worksheet CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     cell CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     args CLIENT_OLE2.list_type;
     rowcount integer;
     i integer;
     cursor c2 is select 1 from dual;
     cursor c1 is /* write your select query that fetches the required values */
begin
application := CLIENT_OLE2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(application,'Visible','True');
workbooks := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property (application,'Workbooks');
workbook := CLIENT_OLE2.invoke_obj(workbooks,'Add');
worksheets := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property (workbook,'Worksheets');
worksheet := CLIENT_OLE2.invoke_obj(worksheets,'Add');
rowcount := 0;i:=1;
for rec1 in c2 loop
rowcount := rowcount + 1;
-- For the headings
args := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,rowcount);
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,1);
cell := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet,'Cells',args);
CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value','Column 1 Heading');
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
args := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,rowcount);
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,2);
cell := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet,'Cells',args);
CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value','Column2 Heading');
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
end loop;
for rec1 in c1 loop
rowcount := rowcount + 1;
args := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,rowcount);
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,1);
cell := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet,'Cells',args);
CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value',rec1.field1);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
/*null value may create problems,then use the if condition as follows*/
args := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,rowcount);

cell := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet,'Cells',args);
CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
IF rec1.field2 IS NOT NULL THEN
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value',rec1.field2);
ELSE
     CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value',' ');
END IF;
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
end loop;
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(worksheet);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(worksheets);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(workbook);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(workbooks);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(application);

Columns doesnt wrap in Excel output

Hi,
I have a Table in RTF template which has 7 fixed width columns. I have couple of description columns in the Table and I have set "Wrap Text" option for those columns so that column width remains the same even for "long" descriptions. This works fine for PDF output and I get output as I see in the template. Problem is with Excel output. In Excel, column width is automatically adjusted to fit text. "Wrap Text" option is set for the column in MS Word. I have also tried using <fo:block wrap-option="wrap">, <fo:inline wrap-option="wrap">, <fo:wrapper wrap-option="wrap">. But still text is not wrapped in Excel. All I want is that the column width should remain constant and it shouldnt be resized to fix text. Can anyone throw some light on the above issue? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Murari

No light - but I see the same issue - so it is not just your configuration.

Need help in formatting a number field with same precision for excel output

I am trying to get the same preciision for a field in RTF template when the output is in EXCEL
i.e. same number of digits after decimal. So, I would like to show 150 as 150.00 and 123.2 as 123.20 etc !! Is there a way to do it. the Built in formatting will not display 150.00 for 150 . but if i add $ symbol it will display. But i dont need $ syambol. please help.

I found this on one of the forum questions.
Excel dont preserve the trailing zeros.
try opening the xcel and type 5.0000 and tab out, it wont preserve the trailing zeros after decimal.
try finding out how to disable the option in excel. if you do that, you will see what you send out from the report.
But you can try to convert the number into a text by trying to append a space at the beginning. See if that would work.
Thanks

In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ?

Hi Amol,
According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.
Reference:
Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Preventing automatic scientific notation conversion for excel output?

I have a column in a report that contains a mixture of numbers and letters and hyphens. If the only letter is E, then I get scientific notation instead of the actual text when I run the report for excel output and open it in excel.
For example:
185701E-02 becomes 1.86E+03
4962E6 becomes 4.96E+09
Any ideas how to fix or work around this in the template, data definition, or excel config?
Thanks,
Kevin

I tried pre-pending an apostrophe in the SQL and in the rtf template to indicate to excel that it is a text field, but this just resulted (not surprisingly) in '185701E-02 instead of 185701E-02
