I had an excel file which had for each row a column named id with a link value that open up other files the id doesn't have .(extension) on it.
The problem is that I imported the excel file on SQL Server Management, and the links is now strings without extension i want it to be displayed as a link in my grid view on asp.net page to open up the named file...
To mention there is at least 700 rows on the database.
Thanks in advance!

When I try to import tables from certain web pages. The Excel function to import tables from the web, you can not. These tables when copied and paste, are usually pasted into a single Excel cell.
I would like to know if there is any solution for this, either from Excel or from R.
You could use a website to convert the html table to .csv then import the .csv in excel.
Just search on google for html table to csv. Here is an example: Html to csv.
With Excel you can import data from Web pages if you click on Data > From Web.
Then you copy/paste the url where your table is and you choose which table you want to import.
See this video for more details : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZSR8DA01jQ
This assumes your Excel version is 2010 or more recent.
I'm a new beginner in Microsoft AX. I have a problem in AX 2009. I create a Table ImportFile with 2 Fields,("FileName-->Typ:String", "FileDocuValue-->Typ:Container"). When the User import a CSV-File it will be save in the Table ImportFile.
Now in EP I Just show in My GridView a Column FileName and I want that FileName be a Link so that when I click in one one these Names that it Open the Corresponding CSV-File in Excel.
Is it possible to do it?
I can suggest the following approach:
You can use a standard asp LinkButton control to display a link. When the link has been clicked,
Create a temporary CSV file from the data in your ImportFile table.
Create a URL to the generated CSV file (you can use the WebLink.url method).
Open the generated URL.
When I was working on a similar task (generate and download PDF) I also had to modify some standard classes such as WebSession and EPDocuGetWebLet.
I have a requirement to load the csv into DB using oracle apex or pl/sql code, but the problem is they are asking to load the csv file which will not come with same number of columns and column names .
I should create table & upload data dynamically based on the file name and data that i'm uploading.
For every file i need to create a new table dynamically and insert data that are present in csv file.
For Example:
File1:
col1 col2 col3 col4 (NOTE: If i upload File 1, Table should be created dynamically based on the file name and table should contain same column name and data same as column headers of csv file . )
file 2:
col1 col2 col3 col4 col 5
file 3:
col4 col2 col1 col3
Depending on the columns and file name i need to create table for every file upload.
Can we load like this or not?
If yes, Please help me on this.
Regards,
Sachin.
((Where's the PL/SQL code in this solution!!??! Bear with me... the
answer is buried in here somewhere... I introduced some considerations
and assumptions you will need to think about before going into the
task. In the end, you'll find that Oracle APEX actually has a
built-in solution that satisfies exactly what you've specified... with
some caveats.))
If you are working within the Oracle APEX platform, you will have some advantages. APEX Version 4.2 and higher has a new page element called "Data Loading". The disadvantage however is that the definition of the upload target is fixed and not dynamic. You will need to know how your table is structured prior to loading the data.
One approach to overcome this is to build a generic, two-column table as your target, which will serve for all uploads. Column 1 will be your file-name and column two will be a single clob data type, which will contain the entire data file's contents including the header row. The "Data Loading" element will give the user the opportunity to verify and select this mapping convention in a couple of clicks.
At this point, it's mostly PL/SQL backend work doing the heavy lifting to parse and transform the data uploaded. As far as the dynamic table creation, I have noticed that the Oracle package, DBMS_SQL allows the execution of DDL SQL commands, which could be the route to making custom tables.
Alex Poole's comment is important as well, you will need to make some blanket assumption about the data type or have a provision to give more clues about what kind of data is contained. Assuming you can rely on a sample of existing data values is not good... what if all the values in your upload are null? I recommend perhaps a second column in the data input with a clue about the type of data for each column... just like the intended header names, maybe: AAAAA = for a five character column, # = for a numeric, MM/DD/YYYY = for a date with a specific masking.
The easier route:
You will need to allow your end-user access to a developer-role account on a workspace of your APEX server. It is not as scary as you think. With careful instruction and some simple precautions, I have been able to make this work with even the most non-technical of users. The reason for this is that there is a more powerful upload tool found under the following menu item:
SQL Workshop --> Utilities --> Data Workshop
There is a choice under "Data Load" --> "Spreadsheet Data"
The data load tool will automatically do the following:
Accept a CSV formatted file through a browse function on your client machine
Upload the file and parse the first record for the column layout (names)
Allow the user to create a new table from the uploaded file, or to map to an existing one.
For new tables, each column data type can be declared and also a specific numeric/date mask if additional conversion from the uploaded data is necessary.
Delimiter type, optional enclosures (like double quotes), decimal conventions and currency types can also be declared prior to parsing the uploaded file.
Once the user has identified all these mappings and settings, the table is created with the uploaded data. Any errors in record upload are reported immediately afterwards with detailed feedback on the failed records.
A security consideration to note:
You probably do not want to give end users access to your APEX server's backend... but you CAN create a new workspace... just for your end users... create a new database schema for receiving their uploads, maybe with some careful resource controls. Developer is the minimum role needed... but even if the end users see the other stuff there won't be access to anything important from an isolated workspace.
I have implemented the isolated workspace approach on a 4.0/4.1 release APEX platform a few years back, and it worked nicely. Our end user had control over the staging and quality checking of her data inputs (from excel spreadsheet/csv exports collected from a combination of sources). I suppose it may have been even better to cut her out of the picture entirely and focused on automating the export-review-upload process between our database and her other sources. In this case, the volume of data involved was not great enough (100's to 1000's of records) and the need for manual review and edit of the exported data was very important prior to pushing it into the database... so the human element was still important in this case - it is something you'll want to think about now.
My task is to copy tables from a public domain and format it later in Word. I have created a software where I just have to enter two values and the table is displayed to me on a web page. Then I have to copy this table into Word.
I was wondering if there was an easier way to achieve this....
I would even like to know if it is possible to store all the values I type to a TXT file or Excel sheet and programmatically copy the displayed web pages to Word.
Please help me and don't down-vote.....
Okay here are the detailed steps:
Open a webpage
Fill in a form with 4 fields
A new webpage opens based on what input you provide
Copy 2 tables from that webpage
Paste the 2 tables in MS Word 2007
Open browser again and go back to previous page
Enter new values in the webpage
Repeat all the steps
P.S There are more than 700 tables to be copied each week
I'm not sure this is what you need...anyway...
If you download the page (programmatically of course) you can parse it as XML (I assume it's a well-formed XML file otherwise you may have to use some dirty trick to find all tables). Then you can put all data on Word (by automation, you can even do all these stuffs from a Word macro, just download the HTML file, "parse" it to find tables and paste that text as HTML).
I would provide some example but it can't really be language-agnostic.
in my application i want to get the data of a excel which is in a folder in solution explorer. i want to get the data and insert into a gridview. expecailly i want a particular colunm in that excel sheet that is i want to show in a gridview for example i set a outlook contact in a excel sheet in that sheet i want only a emailaddress column in a grid view how can i write. thank you
You can use ADO.net to access cells in an excel file, similar to a DB query. This is a bit lighter than trying to use Excel automation objects.

You can then use this as a source for your gridview.
