Wrong download in Spreadsheet (excel 2007) using Query

Hi,
Issue is: When i execute a query in SQ01 with output format as Spreadsheet ( i.e. Excel 2007 -Office 2007 is installed), the date and quantity formats are not displayed in Date and Qty format.
For e.x.
If the date is 01/24/2009 and qty is 34,786, in the spread sheet (Excel 2007) i can see
date as 39837 and qty as 34786.  These can be changed manually in the excel file using Format cells. But, the requirement is to have it automatically, after download.
When i try it with Office 2003 (excel 2003), There is no problem. It works well.
Our SAP system-Release 4.7.
Please help me in resolving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Senthil Kumar A

  • Problem in Exporting to Excel 2007 using CRServer 2008

    Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..
    Babita.

    Hi Ani,
       First Thank you for your reply..I have already tried exporting it in Excel 2003 but since the limit is upto 256 columns and that my report's content exceeds this limit, few of the columns are truncated. Thats why i thought that it would be better to export it in Excel 2007. But i could'nt find any way to do it so..Pls help me if there is any other way..

  • Saving to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007 using security features such as password and print restriction

    Good Afternoon,
    I am wondering if there is a way to implement the security features such as password and print restriction while saving a document to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007. 
    Regards,

    Bill,
    Thank you.  I was able to find the security setting section.  The problem I have now, however, is writing the VBA to save to PDF and incorporate the security settings.  I thought if i applied the settings to the Excel document I was working on it would carry over, but this does not seem to be the case.  Any idea's?

    Hello All,
    <removed by moderator>
    While downloading the necessary output of a Ztransaction in excel format the excel file only shows one 1 record whereas in the output there were 88 records.
    When I am downloading it in other formats like Rich text etc. the data is getting downloaded correctly as per the output.
    Now this problem is occuring in Production & Quality whereas in Development the excel file is downloading data correctly.
    I have compared the code in the different clients as well as debugged it but the code is the same in each case.
    There is no data corruption in the final internal table as well.

  • Problem opening downloaded report in Excel 2007 with Hierarchy (BW 3.5)

    Hi,
    When we download a BW (3.5) report from the web to excel with an hierarchy (for example on a GL account or cost element) and try to open it in excel (version 2007), it takes a very very very long time (aprox. 15 minutes) to load a simple report. Normally this should only take 5 secs. When we download the same report without an hierarchy it opens as fast as normal.
    This problem is very recent and in the last year at least we have never encountered it.
    Do you know what could cause this and how we might be able to fix it?
    Thank you very much for your help!!

  • How to Export SSRS report into Excel format using query string

    Hello all,
    I am new to SSRS world.
    Last night i was trying to add a hyperlink  on the SSRS report (.rdl) file, by clicking which we can export the report into "Excel" format, but with no luck.
    Can anybody tell me how to form the hyperlink, so that we can export the report with its current content ( I mean the report content generated by selecting some parameter values)

    Hi Suman85,
    Based on your scenario, you want to add a link on the SSRS report file, and then click it you can export the report into “Excel” format.
    Just as kishan1901 said , you can add a textbox to your report and type in the words “Click here and export the report
    to excel” .Then right-click the textbox and select Properties. Switch to Navigation tab, click the radiobutton of ‘Jump to URL’ and type in the expression ,here is just a example:
     ="http://vyof1884200/ReportServer$youhoo?/My+Adventure+Works/Product+Sales+and+Profitability+by+Month&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=excel"
    Then preview the report ,you will see
    Click here and export the report to excel 
    when you move the mouse to it ,the mouse will become a hand ,then left-click, it will jump out a dialog box to indicate user whether the excel file should be saved , opened or canceled. 
    I think this is what you want, if you have any further requirement, could you please describe it in more detail? We would give you some resolution or workaround.

  • Download to Excel 2007 (.xlsx) Help

    Hi Everyone, I have an issue with the Download options - Download to Excel.
    We have a few on-demand bulk reports that basically allows users to fire a detailed obiee report through GoURL.
    Once the report is done, the Download Option - Download to Excel allow them to export data to an Excel Spread-sheet.
    The issue is, OBIEE is exporting the data to Excel as Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet, (.xls) format. As we all know this has a max row count limitation (65000) per sheet.
    I was wondering if there is any setting in OBIEE side that would force the Download to Microsoft Excel 2007, (.xlsx) format which has a max row count of 1 million.
    If anyone can help me finding the configuration file or settings in OBIEE that would do the above requirement, is greately appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Excel 2007 and Smartview 11.1 file open slow

    We are in the process of upgrading to HFM system 11.1 and smartview 11.1.1.3 and as part of this process we are starting to use Excel 2007. I am encountering an interesting problem when opening files in Excel 2007 using smartview 11.1 and I am wondering if any one else has seen this problem and found a solution.
    First I converted an excel 2003 file to excel 2007 and saved the file as an xlsx file type. Then I am able to open the file and it would take about 30 seconds to open the file. The file has about 15,000 formulas on for spreadsheets. If I click on each spreadsheet individually and use the "Refersh" button I can save the file in about 10 seconds and then close the file. When I open the file again it will open in 30 seconds. Now using the same file I click "Refresh All" and the file processes fine. I am able to save and close the file in about 10 seconds. However, when I try to open the file again it takes about 20 minutes to open, and then 20 minutes to close.
    This only happens with two or three files. I have another file that is 40 spreadsheets and about 3,000 formulas that is not affected when I click Refresh or Refresh All.
    Any help would be apperciated.

    Hi
    On metalink i found some notes about this issure
    "Background
    SmartView communicates over HTTP using .NET. This just means that requests and responses are sent in a standard XML format that is tucked in the HTTP headers. The mechanism is the same as when your internet browser requests a file or submits a form (simplification). A standard Microsoft component that is part of Internet Explorer is used for this.
    There are three components (four if you include the network) in a SmartView refresh:
    -the client
    -the web server
    -the HFM application server
    It is easiest to troubleshoot when they are on separate machines. (Running SmartView on the server to see whether it works better is a useful test to see what effect the network is having, but doesn't show any other bottlenecks.) If you run Task Manager on these 3 machines showing the Performance tab, you will see initial activity on the client as Excel clears the cells and the request is converted into XML. Then you see the web server get busy as it receives and parses the request. Then the application server is busy as it send the data, then the web server is busy as it compiles the results into XML again, and finally the client parses the XML, pushes the data into cells and runs an Excel calculation. This last stage is the longest of all. Overall, it is typical to see the client doing 90-95% of the work, so client performance is a very important factor. Look out for Excel's memory usage increasing and RAM becoming in short supply. Often, user dissatisfaction with refresh times can be alleviated by giving them more RAM or a faster PC.
    The situation we are dealing with here, however, is when the chain of events described above is interrupted. In this case, you will see the client or the web server wait in vain for a response from the next machine in the chain. The case of invalid XML is similar, but the response is truncated so that the XML is not well-formed when it arrives. XML consists of matching pairs of tags and is not well-formed when a closing tag is missing. This can be caused by certain network settings such as packet size (see later). The end result in either case is the same: as Excel cleared the cells before sending the request, cells are left blank or with zeroes.
    Your job now is to work out why the particular component is failing.
    Client
    Check the HTTP time out in the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
    "ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00
    "KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    "ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. Also, the time-out limit is 30 seconds for Windows Internet Explorer 7. To change the settings, add the above keys. The above values are hexadecimal, not decimal and correspond to 18000 milliseconds (3 minutes) and 240 minutes for the receive time-out. See
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
    Once you make those changes, my recommendation is that you reboot the client machine.
    Web server
    Look for errors in logs showing that the web app didn't respond/disconnected or timed out waiting for another application (i.e. the HFM application server). Eliminate load balancers etc. during testing in order to isolate the problem and to ensure that the user always goes to the same web server otherwise, logs can be hard to interpret. See also the IIS Tuning Guide for IIS settings. We cannot recommend particular settings, as each client must establish the optimal settings for their own environment after performance testing. If necessary, engage the services of a suitably qualified consultant.
    Application Server
    HFM application server performance is very dependent on whether the data is already in RAM or not. One symptom, where the first refresh fails but the second one succeeds, is probably a sign that the cache needed to be populated and once that had been done (by the first refresh) it went faster. HFM loads whole subcubes (Scenario, Year, Value and Entity) into cache, so asking for lots of accounts in the same subcube is fast, but asking for lots of entities will inevitably slow things down as it runs out of RAM and starts unloading subcubes to make room for more. The HFM event log (HsvEventLog.log) shows this happening, but don't forget that the messages you see are a normal consequence of the way HFM works and are not a problem unless you see a hugely elevated number of them during the period the refresh occurs. Another sign would be page file thrashing.
    If there are several servers in a cluster, use sticky sessions in HFM to make sure tests always go the same server, or hit one server directly rather than using the cluster.
    Solutions here involve giving more RAM to the server (probably not possible because of the 2 GB limit) and changing the worksheet design to restrict the number of subcubes accessed. A separate consolidation server, so that reads are not competing with intensive consolidations and calculations, would be a good thing.
    Network
    To find out if packets get fragmented, use
    ping -l size -f
    to send a big packet with the 'don't fragment' flag. E.g.
    Ping -l 1024 -f oracle.com
    If you see a reply like Reply from 141.146.8.66: bytes=1024 time=200ms TTL=245 then the size you specified is below the packet limit of the network. But if you use, for example, 2000 in place of 1024, you get Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set, then you know you have exceeded the limit. Combine this investigation with a Fiddler trace (https://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see what size data messages are being sent and received.
    Troubleshooting Guidance
    If you seriously want to go into this in more detail, then it will take a considerable effort on your and your IT Department's part. My general advice would be:
    1. During this process, fix your environment so that it is predictable. Register a single HFM application server and connect to that. Use a single web server and don't go through Apache or any other redirector. Make sure we know which machine to go to for logs. This would be a temporary measure and it doesn't stop the other users using the full, load balanced system so long as it doesn't involve your server.
    2. As far as possible keep other users from using it during testing, unless you are specifically testing for performance under load. We want to see what activity is due to SmartView and not random other jobs.
    3. Use PerfMon on all three machines: client, web server and application server.
    4. Clear Logs before testing and note the times of each test so the logs can be correlated.
    5. Log CPU activity, memory usage, network throughput, page faults, thread count etc. I'm no expert on this so get advice from someone who is.
    6. In addition to the performance logs, from the IIS Server get:
    * HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR (Default location; configurable)
    * IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC# (Default location; configurable)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    7. From HFM Application server get:
    * HsvEventLog.log (in <HFM install>\Server working Folder)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    8. Be aware of all timeout settings in your environment (i.e. IIS & the network) and time your tests. This can show whether it is an ASP timeout, script timeout, client side timeout or whatever. Note that the Web Session Timeout setting for SmartView in HFM's Server and Web Configuration is a separate issue from IIS timeouts. Web Session Timeout controls the length of idle time before SmartView makes the user log in again. Default 20 mins.
    9. Run Fiddler traces to directly observe the XML and check for HTTP failures.

  • ABAP Query download to Spreadsheet problem

    Hi,
    Using the Output Format "Spreadsheet" radio button choice from within the ABAP Query selection screen (accessible through SQ00) results in a certain user getting ONLY the pop-up that says "Save the data in the Spreadsheet", but the Excel Spreadsheet itself does not pop-up.
    We are on 4.7 and the user is using Excel 2007.  I suspected settings from within Excel, as well as perhaps the SAP Profile settings for the user in SU01, but am not sure what to check or where to look.
    If the user chooses ABAP List or SAP List Viewer, they can correctly save the data to an Excel spreadsheet of their choice path.  It just doesn't seem to work with the Spreadsheet radio button?
    Hoping for some advice on where to look / what to adjust.
    Thanks!
    Jeremy

    More info from the user, after I discussed an SAP GUI upgrade with her, indicates that it used to work well before she was moved from using a physical laptop to being on VDI and is now accessing a Virtual Machine.  Our whole company is converting to using virtualization to provide virtual desktops.  I will try to get her upgraded to the latest GUI, since our Basis group is piloting it.  That might do it, and I'll report back to this thread.
    While I try that, does the additional info of VDI seeming to "break" this, trigger any thoughts?

    Can you guys

  • GW 8.0.1 Excel 2007 Save As gives unreadable spreadsheet

    Hi,
    We're testing a Win 7 machine with Office 2007 on our GW 8.0.1 HP1 system and have come across a strange issue.
    If we open an existing GroupWise Excel 2003 document, edit it and then choose Save As -> New Document back into GroupWise the document which goes into GroupWise has been given an xlsx document type (Excel 2007) even though the document is still in 2000/3 format. This means that the document fails to open as it is in the 'wrong' format for Excel to understand.
    If we edit the DMS document properties and change the extension to xls from xlsx then the document will open fine.
    Is this a known issue? Is there any workaround? At the minute I've asked the user to use the copy document function in GroupWise before opening the document but when Office 2007 is rolled out properly this is bound to come up again.
    TIA,
    Mark.
