Posted on by 281
Hello,
I want to import data from excel sheet into a blob field. Please help me with the code. I am attaching my code here, please suggest me what to modify.
 
    Local Procedure GetValueAtCellBlob(RowNo: Integer; ColNo: Integer): BigText
    var
        TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
        InStream: InStream;
        OutStream: OutStream;
        CellValue: BigText;
        BlobText: Text;
    begin
        TempExcelBuffer.Reset();
        If TempExcelBuffer.Get(RowNo, ColNo) then begin
            TempExcelBuffer.CalcFields("Cell Value as Blob");
            if TempExcelBuffer."Cell Value as Blob".Length <> 0 then begin
                TempExcelBuffer.CalcFields("Cell Value as Blob");
                TempExcelBuffer."Cell Value as Blob".CreateInStream(InStream);
                InStream.ReadText(BlobText);
                CellValue.AddText(BlobText);
            end;
        end;
        exit(CellValue);
    end;
 
   
 Local Procedure ImportblobBasicData(var pR_itemrecord: Record "demo item")
    var
        localItemRecord: Record "demo item";
        demoitemID: code[50];
        TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
        OutStream1: OutStream;
        demoitemText: bigText;
    begin
        TempExcelBuffer.Reset();
        if TempExcelBuffer.FindLast() then
            MaxRowNo := TempExcelBuffer."Row No.";
        for RowNo := 2 to MaxRowNo do begin
            localItemRecord.Reset();
            Evaluate(demoitemID, GetValueAtCell(RowNo, 1));
            localItemRecord.SetRange("demoitem ID", demoitemID);
            if localItemRecord.FindFirst() then begin
                // Get description from Excel
                demoitemText := GetValueAtCellBlob(RowNo, 2);
                if demoitemText.Length <> 0 then begin
                    ReplaceSpecialCharacterInBigText(demoitemText);
                    localItemRecord."demoitem Description Text".CreateOutStream(OutStream1);
                    OutStream1.Write(demoitemText);
                end;
                localItemRecord.Modify();
            end;
        end;
    end;
 
    Local Procedure ReplaceSpecialCharacterInBigText(TextToModify: BigText)
    var
        TempText: Text;
        OutStream: OutStream;
    begin
        Clear(TempText);
        TextToModify.GetSubText(TempText, 1);
        // Replace special characters
        TempText := TempText.Replace('(¹)', '(Ø)');
        TempText := TempText.Replace('ò', '•');
        TempText := TempText.Replace('â„¢', 'Ö');
        TempText := TempText.Replace('Æ', '’');
        Clear(TextToModify);
        TextToModify.AddText(TempText);
    end;
