Hi, David - For some additional information regarding why this planned feature was canceled, please refer to Julie Jiang's response in this thread:     https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/datawindow-excel?limitstart=0#reply-42332 Also, ...

Using PB2019 R3   We have implemented dw2xls in the past which generates perfectly the .xls files for us. A recent new customer insisted on us to start using the .xlsx extension. What are my options in PB 2019 R3 to save a datawindow with all of ...

Hi and happy new year, We use dw2xls (Desta) for exporting dws to Excel. There's a specific dw that failed to generate an xlsx that could be opened by Excel. (Ironically, LibreOffice has no problems with it). So after spending quite some time, I fi...

Have a look at https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/saveas-excel. It's not the fastest solution, nor perfect, but maybe it could serve your purpose. I've tested it one day and it was pretty nice, though not as good as dw2xls from Desta. No...

Is there a function in datawindow that I can use to remove header (title and other objects) but leave the column headers intact?  I tried adjusting header height but it leave the space from the top not the bottom of the header bar.  I need to change ...

I am on PB2022 Build 1900. THe 'warning' message prompt when i try to launch my cloud app. Not yet saving the file....

Hi all, Sorry our team decided to remove this feature from the current roadmap after more deep research into it. The main reasons are: 1) The formats and display in DWs are very complex to be faithfully exported into Excel. We tested the third part...

We are currently in the process of enhancing our systems, and as part of this effort, we are looking to upgrade our PowerBuilder version from 2017 to PB 2022. In this transition, one critical consideration involves our internal reports that rely on t...

Hello, I have a question about the Datawindow Saveas function in Powerbuilder 2021. Your documentation states: "If you do not specify any arguments for SaveAs, PowerBuilder displays the Save As dialog box. A drop-down list lets the user specify the ...

Hi, Which version of dw2xls are you using? I think this might be more a question you should ask to the people at Desta. regards....

Hi Paul;   This is not currently supported by the SavreAs command. Only the parent DWO's primary buffer is used by the SaveAs to export the datum into Excel format.   You could work around this by accessing each Child DWO's buffer & copying thi...

To know what the problem is, you'd have to compare all objects of the 2 different versions of dw2xls_pb.pbl. A year or 2 ago, if I had to change all longptrs to and longlong to ulong variables in dw2xls because these weren't supported by Powerserver...

What you need to work around the print bug when setting UseHwnd to No: w_printdummy - just an empty Window object with the visible flag set to false (and minimize fo safety :) ), nothing else. I inherited from PFC's w_master but any kind of window s...

Hi Boris;    Just convert your DWO computed fields into SQL computed columns. The SQL CC's are in the DWO's primary buffer & thus will get exported on the SaveAs() command.    The other alternative is to keep your current DWO's "as is". However...

(Edited) What do you mean "you can't get through"? The links work fine for me... I think the last link that Govinda provided might solve your problem, though it does NOT save images, but it might solve your problem. To solve the problem of the imag...

I'm not aware of a way to do this in PowerBuilder itself, but there are third-party products that do this, such as dw2xls....

Currently PB saves the data into an excel sheet, not the dw/ds to excel, with formatting and other features.  May be dw2xls utility could do that.  I use that utility to save dw to excel sheets, with some limitations it's working fine.  [Limitations ...

Hi Michael, Am not using Saveas() method, because I want the formatted data not the raw data. While export the datawindow, I am getting the file name from the user by the below syntax.     Getfilesavename("select file",lspath,lsfile,"xlsx","*.xlsx,*...

Thanks Chris... Just to clarify - PowerBuilder currently does not have native excel-like filtering alternatives to PowerFilter? ...

How you try making the Window Type: Response!....
