XLSX comparisons

I'd like to know if PowerShell could be used to compare xlsx files File1 and File2. I'd like to compare columns A, B, & C in each of the two files. If the record, in those three columns, match in each of the two files than that record should
be copied to a new workbook, File3. All other non matching records would be ignored. I know there is a file comparison for csv files but I'm not sure on how to do this when comparing particular columns.
Thank you very much,
George Jackson

Report for Comparison of Material Qty

Hi All,
I need to Develop an Interactive report for Comparison of Material Qty. ordered through Purchase requisition, ordered material through PO and corresponding Material Receipt report.
Can Someone Give a brief description about this & fields tcode & tables regarding this report.A sample code would be much appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Ravi S

To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer. The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD. The tables to use are:
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
The selection screen should have at least the following:
OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
NAME - STXH-TDNAME
LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
TEXTID - STXH-TDID
You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header. For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST. You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
Hope this helps.

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

results from IT_ZROUTE
vbeln    route

2222     B
I have some problem in with the code below. I tried to collect vbeln and route into IT_ZROUTE.
However, after i've got the result, i want to do distiguish between the route.
If route A ne route B, then display an error messages.
My problem is, how do i compare the record by looping IT_ZROUTE? if i set into a temporary variable, the value will always change and i have prb in doing the comparison. eg:
loop it_zroute into wa_route.
   zroute = wa_route-route. "set into a variable
if zroute = wa_route-route
   "display error message
endif.
endloop.
Could anyone give me some tips to enhance my code? Really appreciate your help.

Hi SW,
You should never use SELECT statement inside LOOP statement as it will affect performance of the program. Use FOR ALL ENTRIES for the same.
TYPES: BEGIN OF ZROUTE,
VBELN TYPE VBELN,
ROUTE TYPE ROUTE,
END OF ZROUTE.

             route like likp-route,
          end of likp_itab.
I_XVTTP_TAB_temp[] = I_XVTTP_TAB[].
sort I_XVTTP_TAB_temp by vbeln.
delete adjacent duplicates from I_XVTTP_TAB_temp comparing vebln.

Error while opening a Office 2007 Excel (.xlsx) from a Servlet

Hi All,
Actually i am trying to open an excel file from a servlet. It works fine when the file format is .xls. But if it is .xlsx it gives the below error.
"The file you are trying to open .xlsx is in a different format than specified by the file extension. verify the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
There is a link in the application. When we click the link it calls the servlet. The servlet calls the DAO. The DAO queries the DB and the whole output is stuffed into a StringBuffer and the StringBuffer is written to the ServletOutputStream. I have used
File newFile = new File("ABC.xslx");
response.setContentType("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
I have also included the below in the web.xml file.
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xlsx</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet</mime-type></mime-mapping>
Kindly help me out.

Problems with string comparison using

I have a problem using the > and < comparison operators.
When the xsl:if test uses numeric values the comparison works OK. If the
test uses string values it always returns a false result.

XML doc with a root element)
Note - the spurious
tags are just for debugging- I write the

Having looked at the XPath spec I believe what I am trying to do (compare strings with gt and lt type tests) is not supported. The spec indicates that they can only be used for node sets or numerics. Presumably the processor is attempting to convert the values to numbers but evaluating them both as NaN (not a number). Can someone confirm this.
I find this restriction quite strange, is this a situation where an extension function is required ? If so can someone point me to some (Java) examples.

Urgent : Help required for logical comparison of two 2GB files.

Large files need to be compared depending on Business logic. No byte to byte comparison to be done. It would require reference of data written at the start of the file at some other later part of the file too while comparing two files. File needs to be stored in memory while comparison is done. Kindly suggest some way out which would give best performance. Memory limitations are 256 MB RAM.

File needs to be stored in memory while comparison is done.
Memory limitations are 256 MB RAM.You have 4 GB of data. You have 256 MB of RAM to put it in. Obviously one of those two assumptions has to be changed. By the way, what is the XML connection for this question?

How to link Excel 2010 .XLSX file to SQL server 2008R2 - a method that actually works?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to link my excel file to SQL server like I used to with SQL 2005.
In SQL 2008R2 I have installed the 64-bit data access components from Office 2010 to get the provider 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' avilable.
When I try this command:
SELECT
FROM
OPENDATASOURCE(
'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Data Source="E:\ADUpdates\Employee List1.xlsx"; Extended properties=Excel 12.0')...[Sheet1$]
I get this error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7301, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IDBCreateCommand") from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
The Access Denied error seems to be form the worksheet and not the file itself. Evidence is that if I enter a bogus sheet name it tells me the sheet doesn't exist and after this error the file is locked open and can't be saved again from Excel until the
query windows is closed. The sheet is not protected in Excel so I don't know how access to it can be denied.
Does anyone actually have this working in SQL 2008R2?

Some minor progress on this issue by running SQL Server service under a domain account with Administrator priv on the SQL server.
This query now works in a query window:
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Data Source="E:\ADUpdates\Employee List.xlsx"; Extended properties=Excel 12.0')...[EmployeeData];
However, creating a Linked server object for the same spreadsheet still does not work:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'TEST', @srvproduct=N'Excel 12.0', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'E:\ADUpdates\Employee List.xlsx'
The test connection to the linked server failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "TEST".
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "TEST" returned message "Unrecognized database format 'E:\ADUpdates\Employee List.xlsx'.". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)

The Comparison of IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Websphere application Server on R6 or AS400

Customer is looking for the internet application solution, and they would like to know the difference/ comparison of IIS on Windows Server and WAS on Linux. I know it's hard to answer, but is there any data/document/information so that we could convince
customer to use IIS instead of WAS on R6/AS400?

Hi,
I could not say which one is better.

Why do I have to Open and physically Save a provided .xlsx File in order to source it and process it in SSIS?

It sounds CRAZY...but it's true and I proved it out over many tests...
We receive a .xlsx File from an outside vendor. If we simply move the file over to our processing Path and then try to source it and process it in SSIS, we get this error...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB Error has occurred.
Error code: 0x80004005
However, if we open the file and Save It and/or Save As to our processing library path, we can source the .xlsx File and process it accordingly.
Why is this? Is it because something funky is happening under the covers when the the vendor creates and saves the .xlsx File and then when we open and save it on our network it then cleans it up?
Is there anyway that we can get around this? I hate for the processing clerk to have to go through what seems like a meaningless task....but I cannot think of any way around this if we cannot source the original file. And a C# Edit Script using Microsoft.Interpol.Excel
is not possible because we are not allowed to put Microsoft Office on the Server where the SSIS Package will eventually reside.
Any thoughts...suggestions...etc...would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for your review and am very hopeful (Holding my breath) for a reply and possible solution and answer to this strangeness.
ITBobbyP85

First of all...THANK YOU ARTHUR!
You're probably sick and tired of seeing my posts out here on this.
We are running Microsoft Office 32-bit which is why I downloaded the 32-bit driver of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 from...
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
Sooooo I think what you're saying is that it is a Microsoft Office 2010 .xlsx File but utilizing the 32-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 only allows me to source as Microsoft Excel 2007.
Nowwww....this will run on a Server...soooo a couple of questions...
1.) Are you saying I need to use the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 in order to process this file without having to open and Save it? Can I do that if we're running Microsoft Office 32-bit? Will I be able to source this on the Server because
we cannot install Microsoft Office 2010 on the Server where this SSIS Package will live and breathe.
2.) How can I tell which Microsoft Access Database 2010 Engine is on the server where this will eventually reside and run? 32-bit or 64-bit?
Welllll...maybe a 3rd question...
3.) Is there anyway to get around this driver dependency? Can I create a script to bulkcopy it and it would simply take what's on the server.
Now mind you...we DO NOT have Microsoft Office installed on our server where this will reside...a licensing issue...
So maybe now this explains my struggles with this damn file(excuse my French and frustration)...and why I was using a C# Edit Script to Open and Save the File until I then deployed it to the server and the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel DLL was not available
on the Server because we cannot install Microsoft Office on the Server.
Sooooo it seems as though I'm back at square one.
UGH!
Any additional help you can suggest or even if we can continue this "offline" would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

XL Reporter Report for comparison of last month and current month sales

Hi,
Our management requires an MIS report for comparison of sales in revenue and in terms of units for the last and the current month todate.
Is there a way to view this data for both the months together, without any user input?
Best Regards
Jyoti

Jyoti,
I'll try and explain the XLR Report you'd need for this. This is isn't the best way to explain something like this, but I'll give it a shot.
- Put an expansion on Row 8 and choose all Items (*), click Apply
- In A8, put ItemCode
- In B8, put Item Name
- In C8, put Sales - A/R Row Total
- In D8,put Sales - A/R Row Total again
- Setup a Parameter
    - Call it Period
    - Dimension
    - Financial Period
- In Column D, put a column Summary and click into Financial Period
    - click the button to open the selection window
    - click to the parameter tab
    - select your parameter and click OK and click Apply
- In Column C, put a column Summary and click into Financial Period
    - click the button to open the selection window
    - click to the parameter tab
    - in the bottom right corner, add a "-1"   it should look like this @Period-1
    - click OK and click Apply
- In C7 and D7 - choose Financial Period Code from formula builder
             (so you can see the period code at the column header)
This will show sales by item in the current Period (column D) and previous Period (column C)
Hope that helps and at least gets you going. I can't guarantee those are perfect instructions from memory.

Target/Actual Comparison

Dear expert,
I have analysis one of my Target/Actual Comparison report for a Production Order.
I have the target cost displaying well in the report comparing to the actual.
However, for Cost of Goods Manufactured line item is display value 0.00 and not displaying any correct value. It should display the actual quantity X Cost Estimate.
I have run the cost estimate for the finished goods without error.
Can someone give me a hand on this?
Thank you so much.

Hi Christian,
Sorry, my earlier question is incompleted.
I am missing Target cost for Cost of Goods Manufactured in the Target/Actual Comparison Report.
The actual figure is good.
Just missing the Target cost for COGM.
Thank you. Awaiting for your reply. Appreciated.
