dear community, i have issues with the excel reader. after listing folders and excel files therein, i would like to use the excel reader to extract the actual data over a variable loop. while the listing nodes work fine, i occasionally receive the following error when executing the excel reader: execute failed, the specified file does not exist.
Hi MB12
Could you please share a screenshot of the listed files and a screenshot of the excel reader?
I am woking with this in a couple of proyects - gathering- reading files in a folder, and read (list) all in a new file to do some work.
A screen reader is assistive technology for people who prefer to hear content versus see it. For example, someone who is blind or who has low vision might use a screen reader to use their computer, read emails, or navigate their Excel spreadsheet. The Windows operating system comes with a screen reader pre-installed, called Narrator. You can turn on Narrator on any Windows device by pressing Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Learn more about Narrator, the Windows built-in screen reader.
The Windows team has added a new experimental capability where app teams can optimize screen reader announcements based on their scenarios, indicating what information is most relevant to them at any given time.
If this parameter is selected, an attribute will be added to the workspace for columns that contain a formula. The reader reads formulas used to calculate the values of a cell and stores the formula in the attribute .formula.
By default the Excel Reader Schema is fixed and based on the schema defined in the reader feature type. Select this parameter if you need FME to determine the schema from the current Excel file when the workspace is run.
This field can be used to indicate the maximum number of rows to scan to obtain attribute types in the reader feature type. This does not affect the preview in the reader parameters, which always scans a fixed amount of rows.
The Dialect class is a container class whose attributes containinformation for how to handle doublequotes, whitespace, delimiters, etc.Due to the lack of a strict CSV specification, different applicationsproduce subtly different CSV data. Dialect instances define howreader and writer instances behave.
To make it easier to specify the format of input and output records, specificformatting parameters are grouped together into dialects. A dialect is asubclass of the Dialect class having a set of specific methods and asingle validate() method. When creating reader orwriter objects, the programmer can specify a string or a subclass ofthe Dialect class as the dialect parameter. In addition to, or insteadof, the dialect parameter, the programmer can also specify individualformatting parameters, which have the same names as the attributes defined belowfor the Dialect class.
Zoho Sheet is another method of accessing spreadsheets through a web browser using URLs or direct uploads from your computer. Finally, if you wish to view and edit documents offline, OpenOffice is an excellent open-source alternative.
In cells that link to a PDF file, Excel is using Adobe Reader instead of my system-default PDF reader. (I have Adobe Reader installed only for occasional "open-with" use.) How can I force Excel to use my default reader every time? This problem began with a new, "grabby" version of Adobe Reader, recently installed (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015).
Thanks to both of you for your replies; however, as mentioned my Windows default is still set to my preferred PDF reader (checked by both methods you provided). The problem is that Excel is now always using a reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) that is not the Windows default.
The data in the cells are very simple (of the form folder/filename.pdf). Adobe's DC Reader is very "grabby." When first installed it, whenever used it automatically made itself the Windows default reader. I was finally able to defeat its ability to do that. However, I still have this problem with Excel using it as the default.
With the absence of in-person assisted learning, we have developed a simple platform that will enable readers to be both independent and assisted. Our technology supports readers by highlighting the text and reading it aloud at an appropriate pace that is perfect for struggling readers.
We have an article with an Excel file attached. When a reader clicks on the attachment it is launching in the SNow document viewer rather than launching Excel. Then, if they attempt to download the file, it converts it to a PDF. We need it to be an actual Excel file. Is there a way to specify what types of files open with the document viewer?
This is an Excel spreadsheet reading package that should parse all excel files with the extentions .xlsx, .xlsm, .xml Excel 2003 xml (SpreadsheetML ) that can be opened in the Excel 2007+ applications. The quick-start example provided in the SYNOPSIS attempts to follow the example from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (.xls binary file reader) as close as possible. There are additional methods and other approaches that can be used by this package for spreadsheet reading but the basic access to data from newer xml based Excel files can be as simple as above.
Definition: This attribute holds a 'formatter' object instance. This instance does all the heavy lifting to transform raw text into desired output. It does include a role that interprets the excel format string into a Type::Tiny coercion. The default case is actually built from a number of different elements using MooseX::ShortCut::BuildInstance on the fly so you can just call out the replacement base class or role rather than fully building the formatter prior to calling new on the workbook. However the naming of the interface germain/PPS/Topics/interfaces.html> is locked and should not be tampered with since it manages the methods to be imported into the workbook;
Definition: The excel convention is to read the table left to right and top to bottom. Some tables have an uneven number of columns with real data from row to row. This allows the several methods that excersize a 'next' function to wrap after the last element with data rather than going to the max column. This also can combine with the attribute file_boundary_flags to trigger 'EOR' flags after the last data element and before the sheet max column when not implementing 'next' functionality. It will also return 'EOF' if the remaining rows are empty even if the max row is farther on.
Range instance = returns a populated Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::Cell instance, xml_value = returns the string stored in the xml file - for xml based sheets this can sometimes be different thant the visible value in the cell or formula bar. unformatted = returns just the raw visible value of the cell shown in the Excel formula bar, value = returns just the formatted value stored in the excel cell
This is yet another package for parsing Excel xml or 2007+ (and 2003+ xml) workbooks. There are two other options for 2007+ XLSX parsing (but not 2003 xml parsing) on CPAN. (Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX and Spreadsheet::XLSX) In general if either of them already work for you without issue then there is probably no compelling reason to switch to this package. However, the goals of this package which may provide differentiation are five fold. First, as close as possible produce the same output as is visible in an excel spreadsheet with exposure to underlying settings from Excel. Second, adhere as close as is reasonable to the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel API (where it doesn't conflict with the first objective) so that less work would be needed to integrate ParseExcel and this package. An addendum to the second goal is this package will not expose elements of the object hash for use by the consuming program. This package will either return an unblessed hash with the equivalent elements to the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel output (instead of a class instance) or it will provide methods to provide these sets of data. The third goal is to read the excel files in a 'just in time' manner without storing all the data in memory. The intent is to minimize the footprint of large file reads. Initially I did this using XML::LibXML but it eventually proved to not play well with Moose ( or perl? ) garbage collection so this package uses a pure perl xml parser. In general this means that design decisions will generally sacrifice speed to keep RAM consumption low. Since the data in the sheet is parsed just in time the information that is not contained in the primary meta-data headers will not be available for review until the sheet parses to that point. In cases where the parser has made choices that prioritize speed over RAM savings there will generally be an attribute available to turn that decision off. Fourth, Excel files get abused in the wild. In general the Microsoft (TM) Excel application handles these mangled files gracefully. The goal is to be able to read any xml based spreadsheet Excel can read from the supported extention list. Finally, this parser supports the Excel 2003 xml format. All in all this package solves many of the issues I found parsing Excel in the wild. I hope it solves some of yours as well.
