Excel Reader showing formula values as missing

Hi all,As part of a development of some routines, I have created a many tab excel file where i inserted Formulae using the AttributeManager and the Cell.Formula naming convention. Due to the nature of the VLOOKUPS i used (dynamically i suppose), i could not do this calculation in FME's Arithmetic Editor.Opening the excel sheet shows the values i do want, given by the formula in the cells. However, when i now come to read this sheet in my next routine, the values are all shown as <missing>. Has anyone encountered this before or have any ideas?Thanks all, kind regards,Jack

How do I handle possible errors when writing multiple feature types with post data processing

I’ve alluded to my question on a few other posts about FeatureWriters:When FeatureWriter fails there is no output | CommunityAdd a Rejected port to FeatureWriter | CommunityBut figured I’d ask a more directed question in its own posting. I’m in a situation where I want to do some post-processing after writing data to each of my 40 feature types. I have a FeatureWriter for each feature type, in an attempt to catch and do no post-processing for feature types that fail, but continue with post-processing on feature types that write successfully. I’ve come to realize that any FeatureWriter that fails, stops the entire workspace. Setting “Rejected Feature Handling” to “Continue Translation” doesn’t apply to a failed FeatureWriter. The “Rejected port” link above is suggesting adding such a port to the FeatureWriter, which would solve my predicament, at least as I understand it, but it’s not implemented as of FME 2024.1.1, and I don’t know if there are plans to do so. I’ve also tested out sett

Geometry Missing in Clipped Output when Writing to GeoPackage in FME

I am working with a table from a GeoPackage in FME, reading it and clipping based on intersections between categories. When writing the output, the unclipped parts are successfully written to Writer 1 without any issues in the output GeoPackage. However, the clipped parts are written without geometry, even though I can see the attributes correctly in the visual preview on the attribute expose just before writting. I'm confident that I’ve set the geometry type correctly in the writer. What could I be missing here?

Does the new version of Form support ESRI's new Date (only) or Time (only) formats?

Curious if the new version of Form, 2023.2.1.0 will support ESRI's new Date (only) or Time (only) formats? They are not appearing for me when connecting AGOL, but they appear when I connect to a FILEGEODATABASE.

HTTP Caller and renaming of response files on-the-fly

Hi,I use a CSV list with standard ArcGIS server queries + HTTP Caller to get geojsons. a CSV list contains also layer names etc. I use the File option when saving a response because I need a separate geojson file for every query. Everything goes great, however response files look like "http_download_153028689823_5840.json" which is hard to deal with. Actually I can create a folder with a layer name but I would like to have an option to save a response file itself with a meaningful name and keep granular file structure. Ideally I see it as follows: I run a query within my CSV then get some attributes from the same CSV and supply a response filename from HTTP Caller with these attributes on the fly.There is a way to deal with a new Workspace and rename all the files using filecopy (upd - today I have finally managed with DatabaseJoiner for this purpose), but I am interested in a more integrated solution. Thank you in advance!Evgeny

using 1st row for column header for a variety of text files

I have a request to build a FME workspace that can read a text file and load it into an Oracle database with the filename with a suffix appended as the table name (ie. filename_ext).That is fine, the problem is the column headers and fields will differ, depending on the filetype (file A might have 10 columns, file B will have 17 and the column names will be different between A and B)I’ve considered using a tester that directs the flow to an attributemanager based on a “user parameter”. This becomes problematic if the source text file changes column structure or an additional file type (file C, D and E) is introduced.Is there a way for the text file to be read (as generic in the featurereader), have the attributes exposed, split and output with the 1st row as the column headers. Ideally without having to know the column names prior.Thanks Thomas

Inconsistent Format When Writing To Excel

Hello,I am struggling with a similar problem as this post (I think?). One of my attributes in the Workspace contains a 0 or 1 that is used as a Boolean. The value has been assigned the datatype ‘buffer’ in AttributeCreator and ‘string’ in the FeatureWriter, which outputs an Excel file. I am using a template, where the cell format is set to ‘General’.For some reason, the Excel file that is generated will give me inconsistent formatting of the attribute value: What is going on here??? As you can see, even though they all should be interpreted as strings, some of the values become numbers. The formula bar does not show anything different. I started using the Excel template in hopes of making the data format consistently, but even when I changed the cell format to ‘Text’ it still gave me issues when being read by Python. I would like to solve this issue before reverting to a Yes/No or True/False format. What could be causing this? Any insight is appreciated. -Thanks

Writing to spreadsheet question

Hello, All my data is in Excel spreadsheets. All the schemas are the same.I have two readers:The Updates Reader includes the 3 records that have been changed. These 3 records already exist in the Address Reader spreadsheet.The Address Reader is the original spreadsheet that includes these 3 records before they were updated. I would like these updates written to the Addresses Writer which creates a new excel spreadsheet with the 3 records updated but no new records added. In my workbench here, I run it, and the results are the 3 records are added to the 95,393 thus the new spreadsheet has 95,396 records in it. Having the 3 records added results in having 6 duplicate records whereas previously there were no duplicate records. I need the Addresses output to be 95,393 records with the 3 records I mention previously updated. I have tried changing all the parameters in the Writer with no success. The results are always the same, 95,396.I know I can use FeatureJoiner/FeatureMerger, but is the

Esri portal Feature Service Upsert

Hi all,I’m working with a Feature Service containing approximately 1,000,000 sensors stored in a spatiotemporal big data store. I need to update 10,000 of these sensors based on their unique string ID, like sensors-0x21222.Currently, I'm using the FeatureWriter for the 'Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service' with the 'Use Global IDs' option enabled and 'Upsert' set as the 'Feature Operation' in the Feature Type. However, 'Upsert' requires a global ID.This approach feels very constrained, as it requires importing all 1 million records, merging them, and finding the global ID for each update.Is there a way to update a Feature Service using a primary key or unique field (such as upserting with a where clause) rather than relying on global IDs? This current method doesn’t seem ETL-friendly, as it requires importing parts of the dataset just to make updates.Thanks in advance for any guidance! Edit:Maybe I don't understand it. But for every featureservice/layer/featuretype I need to add, to fi

Reading CSV and Writing to MSSQL Database: tables not recognized by geometry_columns

Hello :)Here is what I am doing: I am working with FME-Flow and FME Workbench 2023.1.1. I have geodata in the form of .csv-files and am using a simple CSV-Reader ➡ MSSQL-Writer to create my datatable in my MSSQL-database (see attached image for FME-script). The datasets are saved to the ‘dbo’-schema and work without problem in GIS (QGIS in this case). This is done for a number of CSV-files. As an example I have shown the summary annotation for the dataset ‘ov_boende_aldre’.What’s the issue? When FME writes to the MSSQL database, the resulting datatable(s) is/are not recognized by the systems view ‘geometry_columns’ (se image below). Why not? When creating a dataset directly in MSSQL or in GIS (QGIS, for example), the dataset appears in said systems view. What can be the issue here? Any secret sauce to make FME create the dataset correctly that I am just missing?All help and hints are appreciated.

Adding dynamic date string suffix using BulkAttributeRenamer

Hello, I’m trying to dynamically add a suffix to selected attributes using BulkAttributeRenamer. I want the suffix to be the day the script is run and expressed in YearMonthDay.Example: the attribute is “addresses_count_“ and using the BulkAttributeRenamer and running the script on the 24.10.2024 I want it to be “addresses_count_20241024”.I tried using UserParameters. The first parameter I made was a Text Type Parameter where before the script is run the User needs to input by hand the Date. It has a few flaws. For example, the user may enter the wrong date, the date is not entered automatically by the script and will not always be processed correctly by BulkAttributeRenamer.The second UserParameters I made and think it is the right way to do it is a Scripted Type Parameter. Below you can see what I made.I have not been able to get this to work using the BulkAttributeRenamer. Even when I select the string to be a UserParameter it doesn't seem to add and generate a correct date string.

Is it possible to only read in attribute data from a file geodatabase reader (so exclude any spatial data)

I know that there is a reader parameter for file geodatabases to only read in spatial data, but is there a way to only read in attribute data? I have an FME workflow that involves working with all of the attribute data and there is no need for me to read in the spatial data/geometry. However, my tool is getting hung up/stuck when reading in features from the file geodatabase - I suspect there's a multi-part feature with geometry issues, so I want to revise the tool to simply read in attribute data & not spatial data. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help!
