Merged row cells in generated excel report - excel

I'm trying to fix the merging of the rows in the generated report from the RTF. I have done already the ff:
Set the table properties in the RTF to Auto fit to contents - didn't work
Redo the whole RTF file. (Retype everything and assign each field again) - didn't work
Kindly share your thoughts on this? Thanks a lot!

Column width style lose when converting .xls to csv

I am exporting an .xlsx document to .csv but I during that conversion I am loosing the complete style. Column width style is loosing terribly I was using Mac OS Numbers app but If i remember it correctly same issue happened with Microsoft excel ( I do not have the windows machine to cross check that for the moment).
original excel image
Exported csv image
I was wondering whether this is an application related issue or is it something wrong in general.
Did anyone face the same issue ? I do not have idea about where to begin to solve the styling issue. Some pointer will be greatly appreciated.
I added apache poi tag because I created the original excel using apache-poi
CSV stands for "Comma Separated Value".
CSV is a text file. Basically, you can open it with Excel or with a basic text editor. It is not made for storing formatting.
If you need to deal with formatted table then you have to choose another format.

Excel 2010 Pivot Table corrupting data

I have an excel pivot table that when refreshed is corrupting data. It basically loses the one value and replaces it with another.
So the datasheet has the value of "Kramerville" in the prosperator column and "Rustenburg" but the pivot table has changed it so there is no "Kramerville" but "Rustenburg" and "Rustenburg2".
Anyone know why it would behave like this?
Thanks
I did not find why it had happened but it seems to have been a corrupted file. My suggestion for anyone having the same issue- copy your data into a new file and recreate the pivot, that cleared the issue for me. I used exactly the same VBA code in the new file and it works perfectly, If I discover why the data corrupted I will update so people know how to avoid the same issue

Specify Excel 'Display Format' while importing data

I'm currently using an excel document as a template for generating a report. This is done by first specifying an 'Xml Map' in Excel and then importing data against it. The report generation works fine.
The problem is that I want the display format on the cell to be 'General' and not 'Text' after the import. I came across this link (yes, Excel 2007)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/xml-schema-definition-xsd-data-type-support-HP010206414.aspx#BMxsdexport
The link specifies that Excel will set string data from the xml import to display as 'Text' by default. I need this to be displayed as 'General' instead. Is there a way to do this?
The only solution I've come up with so far is to use a macro to change the display format after opening the document but if I can do it using only Excel settings it would be better.
Try to use the text import feature: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/text-import-wizard-HP010102244.aspx
NOTE: the important step that should address your need is the "Column data format" section, which often gets overlooked as it is the last step of the import. I hope that helps.
The mapping cannot be changed.

sharepoint list version history export to excel

Good day !
I need to do the export versions of the log data item in the excel.
This solution I unfortunately cannot use because I'm from Russia, and the solution only supports the Latin alphabet.
so I have the most to learn to extract data from the version history for a single item list.
please help. how is this done?
While I haven't found a clean way of doing this, I have a partial workaround.
Use the Export to Excel option in the List section of the ribbon (make sure the list view you export includes a modified column - thanks T6J2E5).
Save the owssvr.iqy file and open with notepad
Copy just the URL from the file and paste it back into your browser, adding "&IncludeVersions=TRUE"
Save the XML file and open in Excel (or your favorite XML viewer), selecting the "As an XML table" open option.
You'll have to delete the first few columns and rows as they contain the schema data but other than that you should have all the version history (I suggest you add the Version column to the view). You can sort by the Modified column to get a chronological change log of the entire list.
FYI "IncludeVersions=TRUE" should be before the List ID for anyone else that needs this.
spurl/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&IncludeVersions=TRUE&List={ListID}&View={VIEWID}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=name
I am facing Error after doing the same that semicolon is missing. how to resolve it.
