Working with Excel spreadsheet embedded in access table

Hello!
I have Access DB which contain Excel spreadsheet objects embedded in table. To work with DB I use ADO-Tool based on ActiveX. Data passed to my program from GetRows method as 2D array of variants. As I understand I should convert variant to object refnum and then use this refnum with property and invoke nodes to get data from spreadsheet. How to select data type for VariantToData to work with Excel spreadseet?

Hi,
Isn't it the same that using Index Array function? I believe that problem is in conversion of variant to refnum. For example, if I change refnum data type to string in Variant To Data, no error appears, and I've got some text data (see the attachment).

Property Loader with Excel spreadsheet embedded into a Word doc

I know I can load test limits from an Excel doc using Property Loader but can I load test limits from an Excel table embedded in a Word document? Has anyone ever done this?

Jules,
I looked into how this could be accomplished, and it doesn't look like it is possible using off the shelf methods. Please if anyone figures out how to do that, i would strongly encourage you to write a Community Example . I think your closest work around would be to have the excel document linked in the word document http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101208101033.aspx . Unfortunately in this situation, the excel file is still seperate from the word doc, and anyone reading the word doc would have to open the excel through the link to view its contents. Also if you move the document, you have to remember to move or change the path of the link. What is your motivation behind having the Excel Spreadsheet in a word document? I agree it would be a novel Idea, but as of now when you copy the object into the word document, it gets encapsulated by the .doc or .docx, and there is no clean easy way I have found to abstract it out. I also looked into the potential of dynamically linking the excel spreadsheet and word document, so when you would update one...it would update the other automatically, unfortunately this functionality doesn't exist (that I could find). Sounds like a pretty good product suggestion for microsoft though ; ) Keep me updated if you find a better work-around.

Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out vertically in a stack on one page?

Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out in a stack on one page?

Hi ,
This is a sort of performance issue , because your program takes more than the max time set for the program to execute in foreground.
There are many stuff in program which will hamper your performance.
I will list down a few
1. SELECT *
FROM konp
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE konp_itab
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN a363_itab
WHERE knumh EQ a363_itab-knumh
in this statement you are using for all entries a363_itab , but before this statement you are not checking if the table has any entry or not , please do remember that for all entries has this characterstic , that if you internal table does not contain any record , then all the records are selected from the database table. So in this case if you table a363_itab is empty , so what you want is no data must be seelcted from table konp , but what will happen is all the records in KONP will be seelcted.
2. While retreiving data you are using seelct * even though you do not require all the fields , an example is
<b>SELECT *
FROM mkpf
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE mkpf_itab
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN mseg_itab
WHERE mblnr EQ mseg_itab-mblnr.</b>
in this your internal table contains only 2 fields
<b>mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr, "Number of Material Document
bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat, "Document Date in Document</b> , but to get these 2 fields you are selecting all the fields of the table.
3. In select you are using into corresponding fields of table , it is not a good practice., so please avoidd it.
Please understand that you must try to reduce the access to your database tables and try to keep it minimal , because this same thing may happen becasue data in DEV is very less compared to the volume of data in production , so a program working in DEV will take much more time in PRD if not written properly and may result in timeouts , as in your case.
Please try to make chanegs to the prorgam and see if it works.
In case you have more queries , please do revert back.

What´s the best approach to work with Excel, csv files

Hi gurus. I got a question for you. According to your experience what's the best approach to work with Excel or csv files that have to be uploaded through DataServices to you datawarehouse.
Let's say your end-user, who is not a programmer, creates a group of 4 excel files with different calculations in a monthly basis, so they can generate a set of reports from their datawarehouse once the files have been uploaded to tables in your DWH. The calculations vary from month to month. The user doesn't have a front-end to upload the excel files directly to Data Services. The end user needs to keep a track of which person uploaded the files for a determined month.
1. The end user should place their 4 excel files in a shared directory that will be seen by DataServices.
2. DataServices will execute certain scheduled job that will read the four files and upload them to the Datawarehouse at a determined time, lets say at 9:00pm.
It makes me wonder... what happens if the user needs to present their reports immediately so they can´t wait until 9:00pm. Is it possible for the end user to execute some kind of action (out of the DataServices Environment) so DataServices "could know" that it has to process those files right now, instead of waiting for the night schedule?
Is there a way that DS will track who was the person who uploaded those files?
Would it be better to build a front-end for the end user so they can upload their four files directlyto the datawarehouse?
Waiting for your comments to resolve this dilemma
Best Regards
Erika

Hi,
There are functions in DS that captures the input files automatically. You could use file_exists() or wait_for_file() option to do that. Schedule the job to run every certain minute and if the file exists then run. This could be done by using a certain file name with date and timestamp etc or after running move the old files to archive and DS wait for new files to show up.
Check this - Selective Reading and Postprocessing - Enterprise Information Management - SCN Wiki
Hope this helps.

Essbase Add-In v6.2 not working with Excel 97

I am running client Windows NT 4.0sp6 with Excel 97 and just tried to upgrade the Essbase Excel Add-In to version 6.2.1 from 6.0.

The memory could not be read.My upgraded v6.2.1 Application manager appears to run fine. Anybody got any ideas?? According to Hyperion documentation, v6.2.1 works with Excel 97.

Does ADI 11i version work with Excel XP ?

Hi,
If anyone knows how to get ADI version for 11i to work with Excel XP, It would be a mirical.
I have been getting problems running the software on some PC's. And on some it will get as far as trying to create the template journal in Excel then run time error out.
Best regards,

Afternoon I was wondering if you could explain how you got ADI. I am curently running Windows XP with Office XP and Oracle 9i client. The ADi ver is 7.1.12.10.05. I am told that you need to install Oracle SQLNET 7, 2.3.4 and Oracle Sqlnet 8 NET 806 to allow ADI to work. Is that correct ?

I have limited knowledge on access macros and sql and the knowledge i had on them does not permit me to carry out the operations i wan.(and im required to develop an application with GUI)
thx for all helps and comments guyz...

Time Capsule Dual: Working with Excel files in Windows Computer

We just purchased the latest-gen Time Capsule to replace another earlier edition TC and we are having a strange problem. We have three iMacs and one PowerBook G4 connected wirelessly to the TC, along with two Windows XP machines which are wired in to the TC. The issue is that the two WinXP machines cannot view Excel files from the TC. When they try to open and work with an Excel file from the TC, they get a message that there is not enough memory to open, work with, or save any Excel files and it won't let them open the Excel file at all. If they copy the file from the TC to the local WinXP computer, they can open it and work on it just fine. At first I thought the issue would be with the new TC, but I plugged back the old TC and it has the exact same problem. The only commonality between the two is that I foolishly updated the firmware on both to 7.4.1. The old TC was working just fine until I installed 7.4.1, and then it started to have the same problem handling the Excel files.
By the way, none of the Macs have any problems accessing and working on the Excel files off the TC, this only happens to the WinXP machines. Also, it only happens on the Excel files; we have other types of files in the TC and all of them seem to open and work just fine. But Excel is our mainstay so we're looking for a solution, can anyone help?

Same happened to me a while back when i updated the firmware 7.4.1 . the macs were ok but the Windows PC's sharing the Time capsule would not save any excel files as errors like memory too low
etc started to appear. easy way to correct this was to got into airport Utility and downgrade back to 7.3.2 , from the menu , you can select what firmware rev you want to go back to select downgrade to 7.3.2 and everything will work ok after this, remember to deselect auto update and check for firmware in the Airport pref till Apple get this sorted out.

Working with excel files in C#, in a web farm

I am creating a excel file uploader that after the upload, searches for specific columns, saves data to SQL Server, then gets rid of the excel file.
I will be accepting .xls & xlsx file types. The internal file structure should be all fairly standard because this is an internal company app. So for example, the sheet with the data I am searching for may not always be the first in the book,
but it will always have the same name.
From the research I have done, it seems I can use the Interop library or OpenXML. I am leaning towards interop. Because we are on a web farm, I think it would be best to not save the file, just work with it in memory. Would this be a concern
if the files are only only around 50kb? I am only expecting 100 uploads a month.
If it is preferred or required I save the file before pulling the data out, should I save it to the application directory on the web server and expect it to be ok because I am saving/processing/deleting in one request? Or is there a better solution? I
thought of saving to our file share but that opens a whole new bucket of worms because of having to send credentials with the file when saving.
Simon.

Hi Simon,
Open XML SDK can only manipulate Office 2007 and above versions. Since your web form accepts Excel 2003 file, it's not a good choice. But if you want to use the PIA(Primary Interop Assembly) to automate the excel files, it's also not recommened. Neither
of these two options are suitable in your case, you need to use some 3rd-party library to help you, as recommened in this Microsoft KB article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757/en-au
If your business requires the server-side creation of the Office 97, Office 2000, Office XP, and Office
2003 binary file formats, third-party vendors offer components that can help you. Microsoft does not provide any such components, so you will need to either build a solution yourself or purchase one from a third-party vendor. Many different
third-party products are available. You should investigate each solution to best match the vendor to your business needs.If you want to build your own solution that edits the Office 97, Office 2000, Office XP, and Office 2003 binary file
formats directly, you can obtain the file format specifications for free under the terms of the Microsoft Open Specification Promise (OSP). No technical support is available for the documentation or for the products that you create, but
documentation is available. For more information, visit the following Web site:

As far as I know, NPOI is a good choice for you. You can search and try it. But as it's a 3rd-party library, we don't provide support for it. It also provide ability to process the worksheet in the memory.

Generate a new SAP mode maximized and active working with Excel or Word

Hello!
We have an event that it generates a new SAP mode in the desktop. This mode is generated ok (maximized and active) if the user is working in other SAP mode in this moment.
But this mode is generated minimized if the user is working with a Word or Excel Microsoft document in this moment.
We need to generate this new mode: ACTIVE and MAXIMIZED when the user is working wiht any non SAP tool in that moment. Is this possible??
We have checked the following functions module with failed results:
NAVIGATION_EXECUTE_OBJECT
ECATT_START_GUI_REMOTE
TH_CREATE_MODE
Thanks in advance!!

Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? (I'm having trouble determining from your "More system information" whether it's enabled or disabled.) Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

Dear Anwar,
I'm using XPSP2 10gR2Enterprise
SID=ORCL
host=andor (my PC's name)
Pls help me. I'm struggling with HS also so I've followed your lines, meaning:
I can create the database link, but cannot retrieve data from source. (see 7.)
1a. I have created the Excel file c:\EXCL.xls
NEV DATUM BOOL NUMBER
Stefán Balázs 09.nov TRUE 0
Sebestyén Dénes 10.nov TRUE -11
Tóth Andor 11.nov FALSE 12.3
