I have the entire question list saved in Microsoft excel spreadsheet. I would like to import this file to question bank in Moodle.
How to upload excel file to import question bank in Moodle ?
Thanks for any help.
Moodle doesn't allow to Excel Import Question, you import question only this format:
Aiken format
Blackboard
Blackboard V6+
Embedded answers (Cloze)
Examview
GIFT format
Learnwise format
Missing word format
Moodle XML format
WebCT format
The best way to import question using xml format, or still you want to use excel, then you have need to customize xls format in Moodle..

I recall seeing a direct import of a table in a Wikipedia HTML document directly into tableau. Tableau's website has a method that involves using Google doc HTML import function
=ImportHtml("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_failures_in_the_United_States_(2008%E2%80%93present)","table",2)
to first import the tables into a Google spreadsheet and later download the spreadsheet that can be linked to Tableau.
Is there any way to import a Wikipedia table, or anyt other HTML doc directly into Tableau?
Thanks
Tableau lets you paste data from any application that uses csv delimited text on the clipboard (not all apps do). Here's a knowledge based article on it.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work o nthe table you pointed out in your example, perhaps the HTML is too complex. But if you can somehow export the table as CSV, it can be loaded in Tableau.
Tableau Version 8 is due out soon, and has a couple different new APIs available that should help with connecting to data from various sources.
I have a requirement to read a pdf file having tabular format data only like in excel file. I need to extract the cell value of given pdf file.
Is it be anyhow possible using itext API. If you have something to share then please share it or any other solutions?
The PDF format is just a canvas where text and graphics are placed without any structure information. As such there aren't any iText-objects in a PDF file. In each page there will probably be a number of Strings, but you can't reconstruct a phrase or a paragraph using these strings. There are probably a number of lines drawn, but you can't retrieve a Table-object based on these lines.
In short: parsing the content of a PDF-file is NOT POSSIBLE with iText.
You can try this! This lets you read PDF pages.
I recently ran into this problem. I wasn't able to make it work with itext.
An alternate solution I found was to open a PDF document in Adobe and export it to xml. At least with my PDF's it preserved the table information and then I was able to programmatically work with the XML to generate tabular files like excel etc.
The other issue I ran into was that Adobe only lets you export one file at a time and I had lots of files. Luckily Adobe also has a merge function. I ended up merging all the files together and then exporting them as one big XML file and working with that file to generate what I needed.
I have a excel sheet of some 3000 enteries. I want an easy way by which I can convert this file in to a file format which is readable by my iphone application and it automatically populates the data in that excel sheet in the rows of the table format in iphone app.
I am making an application which takes enteries from users and saves them in database.
The enteries displayed on the application which user would select and save in database , I want them to be populated through that excel sheet .
Please let me know what can I do ?
Thanks
Why didn't wetsider put his/her answer as an answer instead of a comment?
Use CSV instead of the native Excel format. You can fairly simply parse CSV (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3031181/csv-parser-with-low-memory-footprint-for-iphone)
I have an Oracle Reports 10g report, that pulls data from the database and saves the result as a PDF file on the user's PC. The users are requesting that the resultant PDF have a couple of text fields, so they can open the the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and type in some data (small amounts, like dates and filenames; not entire paragraphs or anything) and then save the PDF with the data.
Is this even possible? And if so, how?
If I understand correctly your question, the users have Adobe Acorbat Professional to type and save them.
We have done some files:
File
Generate to File
PDF
We open the file from Adobe Acorbat Professional application to edit and save.
If you have more question for us please let us know.
