Hi all,
I remember attending the various ABF forums and hearing about a "way to
download the list of registered clinics". It turns out the latter is ...
*drum roll* a formatted report! Huzzah!
If, like me, you were hoping to download a big list to cross-check with
your clinic master, and really wanted a CSV containing Clinic ID, Tier 2
class, etc, you may be interested in the attached XSLT that converts the
report to usable CSV.
I say usable CSV because the Export to CSV available via HealthCollect
returns a CSV that Excel won't open without using another program to
convert it to ANSI, and even then it has lots of padding and spaces in
places it should, presumably due to the formatting of the original
report. Plus the column headings are useful things like "textbox32".
To use the XSLT attached, you will need to:
* Make a new directory somewhere, e.g. C:\CHAI-T
* Download msxsl.exe from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21714 and save
it in your new directory.
* Save the attachment non-admitted-clinics-to-csv.xsl in your new
directory.
* Log in to HealthCollect, browse to Reports -> AIMS ->
Non-Admitted Clinics and choose the Non-admitted Clinic Summary report
* Run the report for whatever parameters you like, then export the
report, choosing XML file with report data as the format. Save it as
Non-admitted Clinic Summary.xml
* Go to Start -> Run and run cmd.exe
* Type cd C:\CHAI-T (or whatever you are using) and press Enter.
* Type msxsl "Non-admitted Clinic Summary.xml"
"non-admitted-clinics-to-csv.xsl" -o "Non-admitted Clinic Summary.csv"
and press Enter
* You should now be able to open the Non-admitted Clinic
Summary.csv in Excel and see meaningful column headings
You can also use the XSLT with SSIS's XML Task if you want to make a
package out of it.
Kind regards,
