Working CSV formatted data in Numbers

I am trying to read a CSV file in Numbers 09. Is there a quick way to reformat the file to Numbers format?

What is the problem ?
As it was explained hjerte many times,
if your system uses the period as decimal separator, the file name must end with ".csv" and the values must be separated by commas
if your system uses the comma as decimal separator, the file name must end with ".csv" and the values must be separated by semi-colons
There is an annoying problem: from time to time, users receive files whose name ends with ".xls" which are in fact csv ones,
others receive files whose name ends with ".csv" which are in fact html tables or other formats.
When you get a wrong behavior, drag and drop the document's icon on the application TextEdit.
Doing that, you will quickly know which is the structure of your document.
If it's really a csv one with the 'wrong' separator, the best scheme is to change temporarily your system setting so that it matches the separators used.
If it use commas, set the system to country/region : USA
If it use semi-colons, set the system to country/region :France.
Numbers will run according to this setting so it will open the doc correctly.
Save as is.
Reset the system to your standard setting and open the new file in Numbers.
This time it will be OK. Maybe you will have some problems with numbers using thousand separators or with dates.
In other cases,you may send the file(s) to my mailbox.
I will look at its internal structure. With a bit of luck, I have a script ready to decipher it.
In other cases, I will do my best to write a new script.
If you must send a file, click my blue name to get my address.

Property loader in .csv Format : Error with list of Numbers

Hi,
I need to change property files from the .xls format to the .csv format so that I won't need to install Ms Office on the Test Station PC.
Everything works is .csv format except for variales containing lists of numbers. Here is an example.
This variable contains the channel list to send to a Digital Multimeter. A string containing all channel numbers seperated by comas (The DMM model is Agilent 34070A).
I create a variable named ChannelList of type string containing : "101,102,103,104,105"
When exporting to property file (Using Tools-Import/Export properties), TestStand will write the following line is .csv format :
ChannelList,"101,102,103,104,105"
When trying to import this property value with a property loader I get the following error :
Runtime Error Occured
Error evaluating expression:Runstate.Sequence.locals.ChannelList = (""101")
Unexpected Token: 101
What puzzles me is that teststand is not even capable of reading its own exported property within a newly created file.
Any ideas?
TestStand 2013
Thanks in advance

Nien,
This is a known issue and we are looking into this issue in future version of TestStand.
There are couple of approaches for fixing the problem:
1. Use a different character for comma in the property loader file. After importing the data, replace the character with comma using TestStand expression in the sequence file.
2. Use Tab Delimited Text format instead of CSV format.
3. We can see that, property loader is using expression to update the value of the property (The exact expression is specified in the error message you have posted). In a text editor, update the csv file to have the value as
ChannelList,101""+Chr(44)+""102""+Chr(44)+""103""+Chr(44)+""104""+Chr(44)+""105
This will create the expression such that, the value of ChannelList property will become 101,102,103,104,105
Note: This is just a workaround and you should use this approach with caution.

Date column interprets as timestamp in .csv format.

Hi,
There is another issue when downloading report in .csv format. The date column interprets as timestamp. How can I avoid it in RPD Level? Please give your suggestions.
Thanks,

1117820147442
1117824374358
1117824388908
Now this is the timestamp with TZ... another cast seems not working. To_date seems not working too.
SThose numbers could possibly represent timestamps, being the number of milliseconds since some arbitrary date (Jan 1, 1970 perhaps?) as they are in the range to be that but I don't see any way there could be a time zone attached without adding extra digits.

Search report - error-no data found when printing to csv format

Hi all,
I have a search report,
I have 4 select list and two text field and two date field to search for the result.
I have even put the computation for the select list items in
on load - before header ie setting the items to default value.
Still when i try to print it in the csv format , and try to open the excel, it is saying "no data found" error
Please, Could any one give me a solution to solve this bug?
Note: Ordinary report is getting printted in the csv format.
Thanks in advance

Hi Denes and Scott,
sorry, only when i select the values for all the 4 select list
csv is working. default values are not restored in the session.
How to restore the values in the session state after pressing the search button.
i have set the default values for the select list and the query is working fine
but when i see the session from the toolbar the default values are not present.
but when i see the debug from the toolbar the values are set properly.
@Denes
In your example the session is showing the values of the select list and check box
The same way i did, but in "session" values are not seen so again no data found is seen when printing csv .

Output report data to excel file format or csv format

Is there any way to save softcopy of report output to excel file format or csv format.

Hi,
Regarding csv file format, i have no issues. The file is generating without any issues in using oracle reports without using any PL/SQL code.
My requirement is to design oracle reports to generate excel (.xls) file with multiple worksheets. Each sheets are having many data and graphs(chart).
Using oracle reports alone, how to achieve this.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version, I tried by creating .rdf file but, it is generating single worksheet only.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 ver, I tried by creating .jsp file. For this first i am creating excel template about how my ouput column headings all that going to be with one sample hard coded data and save the excel file as web page.
Eg employee.html.
Next open the html file in oracle reports builder and double click the websource now, you will see the jsp tags, html and xml tags. Now include the contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel " and charset also.
Next, include the <rw:foreach id="G_EMPNO_1" src="G_EMPNO">
here insert the fieldl for each column by removing the hard coded values.
close the tag
</rw:foreach>
Save the file as .jsp and deploy it in oc4 enabled folder (say, devsuite_home/reports/j2ee/reports_ids/web
Start the oc4J server
Run it in the browser http://server:port/reports/emp.jsp?useride=uid/pwd@db
It is invoking the Microsoft excel with 3 sheets default and my emp table output in the first page.
We can save this output file as .xls file by clicking file -> save as.
1) The question is, it is working fine with Microsoft excel 97-2003 version. But for excel 2007, i am not able to create single html file like how 2003 save web page option.
2) I found this in oracle getting started demo
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Which is more useful. This is what i am looking for.
I done that in excel 2003 as per demo. But excel 2007 with reports 10g issues.
Is there any demo for 10g with excel 2007
3) For most of excel issues working fine with excel 2003 and 10g. But excel 2007 with 10g reports are issues.
I want the excel output from oracle reports with multiple worksheet similar to the above demo.
Thank you.

Excel date to Numbers text format troubles

I've been sent an Excel .xls document which I'm opening in Numbers '09 (2.1).
The spreadsheet has a date column which I need to be in text format as dd/mm/yyyy. I expected the original Excel document to have the dates already in text format but Numbers says the fields are 'Custom' and shows the dates in US format: 11/04/2011, even although my Mac is set to UK format. No matter, I can set the cells to text format, however that results in the date being shown as 04/11/00002011.
Where did those extra zeros in the year come from!?
How can I reformat the dates to the dd/mm/yyyy format as text?
I've tried a couple of formula to create a new column
=Year(A1)
for example and I think I could recreate the date like that, but the cell must be text format.

Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit - Collect SYSSTAT type of information in CSV format

As part of performance monitoring and analysis collecting performance data is crucial. Even though historical data could be collected with other monitoring tools we are often using SYSSTAT command to collect such data during short period of time of specific activity to analyze performance of NetApp array. Raw output of SYSSTAT command is useful but in some cases it needs to be presented in more visual form such graphs and charts. Producing Comma-Separated-Values file from SYSSTAT command output is long and painful process.
Working with customer on performance analysis made me to develop PowerShell script which can capture such data in CSV format, so that data can be processed much faster and presented to customer in nice graphical format.
Script Get-NaSysStat.ps1 uses Get-NaPerfCounter and Get-NaPerfData commandlets to extract performance data of NetApp array and store them into CSV file. Script uses next parameters:
NaIP       : IP address or Name of the Filer
NaUS      : Filer User Name. Default Value - root
NaPW     : Filer User's Password. Default Value - password.
Output     : Display/<File Name or Path>. Default Value - Display
Interval     : Interval in minutes between samples. Default Value - 5 min.
Iterations : Number of sample iterations.
               Default Value - 0, for no limit.
               Execution can be ended by pressing Ctrl-C
Example of calling script and screen output:
PS C:\@work\Scripts> .\Get-NaSysStat.ps1 -NaIP 10.58.97.11 -NaUS root -NaPW <password> -Output Perf.csv -Interval 1

This would occur if you were using IE and the requested URL doesn't contain the filename part. The real web browsers would pick up the filename from the response header flawlessly.
Having said that, this kind of logic doesn't belong in a JSP. Use Java classes (Servlet, Bean, DAO). Further on, JSP/Servlet related questions should be posted in the JSP/Servlet forum.

Need help in writing data to a flat file in .csv format

Hi All,
could you please show with a sample example to write data in .csv format using UTL_file.
The result of the refcursor i want to write to a file in .csv format.
How can i achieve this.
Thx

Hi,
There are two ways to acheive this.
First and which I prefer is creating a SQL script which will generate csv file at the specified location in CSV format. And then this SQL script can be called from your cron job similar to how you call stored procedure. Following is pseudo code that can be used -
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool <name of the csv file>.csv
<Your select statement>;
spool offPut select statement delimiting columns you want to use with ','. E.g. following query should create a CSV file named as abc.csv with one record and 2 columns delimited by comma. First column is ENO and second column is ENAME.
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool abc.csv
select ENO || ',' || ENAME from employee;
spool offSecond, you can write a PLSQL procedure and then call this procedure from cron job. There is a generic procedure shared by BluShadow some time back which is a very good example for this. Please refer to following link for this solution -
REF Cursor creating CSV files
I will suggest to use first method above if possible since it will be faster and less complicated in my opinion. Second method is recommended for scenarios where select statement is created dynamically and cannot be written during development.
Hope this solves your purpose.

Format of date and numbers

Hi,
in Italy the format of date is DD/MM/YYYY e the formato of numbers is NNN,DD (DD means Decimal).
I use Excel for IPAD but when I write for instance 28/03/2015 the field shows 03/28/2015, the same problem is for numbers where the comma and the dot are inverted.
How do I change the format of date and numbers?
Thank you in advance.
Max

The general format of the date is tied to the language...use US english, get US date formatting.
You may want to poke around in excel's settings. I know the desktop version allows you to alter the date formatting, but I'm not sure if the iPad app has that. Look for 'cell formatting' in the settings and see if it's alterable.
If not, you can try to make your template on a PC, then put that excel onto your iPad and see if it honors the cell formatting already in place.

How to use CSV format in making a data connection.

Hello All,
I have got a form to develop. There are over 1000 entries to be imported. Can I use CSV format to embed those data in the forms. Mainly those data would be embedded as dropdowns.If I can use how to do it ? If i can not use is there any better way without using the Database like MySQL or something.
Thanks.
Bibhu.

Hi Afroz,
To be more specific, if the csv file doesn't has header, please refer to this script to add header:
$csv = Import-Csv d:\haha.csv -Header "UserA","UserXYZ","EmailA"
Then you can loop this csv file to run the "add-mailboxpermission" cmdlet, I recommend you can test this script before running against production environment, please also note I haven't tested this script:
$csv = Import-Csv d:\users.csv -Header "UserA","UserXYZ","EmailA"
foreach($each in $csv){
write-host "assign fullaccess permission of user $($each.UserXYZ) on mailbox $($each.EmailA)"
get-mailbox -identity $each.EmailA | add-mailboxpermission -user $each.UserXYZ -accessrights 'fullaccess'
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

How to convert from line chart data to CSV format

Hi ,
I am using Flex 3 and AS.
I am getting data from MS SQL and display the data as line
chart this is ok.
But i want to convert this line chart data to CSV or .xsl
format.I find one example in fourms the from data grid to CSV
For this URL is
http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/datagriddataexporter.php
But i want Line chart to CSV.Please help me.

Line chart is a just a visual representation of some data
that's sitting in your database. Isn't it? You load this in Flex,
probably using HTTPService class, and pass it to some chart object.
Now when use says that she needs it in CSV format, you're
gonna have to send another request to the server to produce the
same data, convert into CSV or XLS format and let user download it.
Of course, if use doesn't want to download, you don't have to
go to the server, at least for CSV format. You can convert the same
data that used plot the chart to convert to CSV.
Am I missing something here?

Format Data doesn't work?

Hi
I want to see numbers in Discoverer formatted as set in Administrator, which is
999G999G990D99.
The Format Data dialog box tells me that 'Default' formats numbers as they have been set up by your Discoverer manager, using the format 9999999999.
Only, I am my own Discoverer manager and I set up 999G999G990D99.
I can find that setting in EUL5_EXPRESSIONS.IT_FORMAT_MASK and I can see changes done with Administrator.
Why don't they show up in Discoverer?
Hints appreciated
Franziska

Instead of selecting 'Default' go to more Number
formats and seelct the one you want.In which dialog do you find these 'more number formats'?
That will become the new default format.I need different formats for different columns. So one default won't do.
Hope this helps!Afraid not.
Thanks
Franziska
