Expand Range referencing an excel cell

Hi,
I am creating an input schedule that should sort with a certain property.
This property is derived from the entity's id eg.. S_Property, I use excel to remove the 'S_' and just return the word 'Property' which is then a property which I filter the account structure.
Is it possible to reference an excel cell, eg =A20 in the memberset part of the expand range?
I do the excel formula to remove the S_ in cell A20, as property="Property", and now I just want to reference cell A20 in the memberset part.
If I reference the cell, all members in my account dimension gets returned. When I physically type in the words then it works fine, but when I reference the cell, then it doesn't work.. Is there another way I can get the value in cell A20 then into the memberset part?
Hope someone can help.
Regards
Henry

Dear Henry Pieters,
I just give you the information that the memberset cell can refer the certain cell which you mentioned. Please you have to change the format cell of memberset is "General" and the reference cell is "Text". Maybe you can use the Ms.Excel function TEXT( ) or using single quotation mark (').
Thanks,

Help needed with referencing single Excel cells and formatting resulting text

In InDesign CS5 I am putting together a 20pp catalogue of about 200 products. The plan is to have the product information, SKU code, quantity etc fixed, but have the prices (there are two i.e. pack price and individual price) being linked to an Excel spreadsheet. This is so that the prices can be updated in the Excel file and the InDesign file will pull the new prices through. In case you are wondering why I don't pull the whole set of information through, this is because there are a lot of copywriting changes done to the information once it's in InDesign - it's only going to be the prices that will be updated.
I am planning on having two single cell tables in their own text frame, duly formatted with cell style, table style and paragraph style for the two price variables. This I am then going to have to repeat 200 times making sure I link to the next row down in Excel. This is going to be a hideous task but I see know way of modifying the cell in InDesign to point it to the next row in Excel. That's my first problem.
My second problem is this. In the Excel sheet, the prices are formatted as UK currency and are therefore like this...
£2.00
£0.40
£1.43
£9.99
£0.99
£0.09
What I will require is once I import that data (and refresh the data via a newly saved Excel file) is that the prices end up like this...
£2.00
40p
£1.43
£9.99
99p
9p
So if the value is lower than £1.00 it needs a trailing 'p' added and the leading zero and '£' sign stripped off. If the value is lower than £0.10 it also needs the zero after the decimal point stripping off.
Then formatting wise, the '£' sign needs to be superscripted and the same for the 'p'. This I am assuming could be done via GREP?
In summary, can anyone help with the first task of referecing the Excel cells on a cell by cell basis, given that it is the same cell column each time, but the next row down, and also point me in the right direction of the price formattting issues.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I would do this:
Create on line with the formatting.
Export as InDesign tagged text (TXT)
Read out these tags
In Excel exists a function to connect text from several cells and predfined text, there connect the content from cells with the paragraph styling tags. Do it in a seperate sheet. (Better would be to use a database like Access, there you can link your Excel sheet).
Export this sheet as txt file
Place this sheet as tagged text (there is an option in one of the sialog boxes).
In preferences < file handling you can specify that Tablecalculation Sheets and text is not embedded but linked, turn it on.

Dimension Overrride with Two properties referencing Excel Cells

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a Dimension override as the one below. It works fine. I can reference two properties and one of them is an Excel cell:
=EPMDimensionOverride(D31;"D_PO";"P_ALOC_NR=03 AND P_CTRY="&D3)
However, I would like to add some flexibility to the first property, too. I would like to also reference it to another Excel cell instead of hardcoding the value 03. I've been trying several commands but nothing seems to work.
Any clue? BPC NW 10.0 Add-in SP17
Thanks,
Alberto Sabate

I think the issue was due to leading zero of the property value P_ALOC_NR=03
Try "P_ALOC_NR=""03"" AND...
Or "P_ALOC_NR='03' AND...
Ups, sorry, the linked cell has to be formatted as text to accept 03 without conversion.

Convert contents of a formatted excel cell to HTML format

Hi All,
Background: I am writing a script that uploads some test cases written in excel into Quality Center. For those who are familiar with the QC Excel Addin, this script would do a pretty similar job except for reducing
the steps involved. I'm using Office 2007 running on Win 7 Pro.
Need: I have a situation where the contents of a formatted excel cell need to be converted to HTML tags representing the same formattin in the excel cell. For example a cell containg the text: "Verify
if help topics in Macro section are
hyperlinked" should be converted to
<html>Verify if help topics in Macro section are hyperlinked</html>
Question: Is there an inbuilt function in Excel/VBAn accomplish this? Or is a macro required? Any other ideas to accomplish this?
Note: Whatever used for converting (an inbuilt function or a macro) should support new line characters and colors.
Any help or redirection to solutions is appreciated.
Thanks, John.

Here is the function I wrote. This handles the conversion character by character.

VBA Script Errors on Excel Cell containing a Formula

I'm writing a VBA script. When running the script I have a varible being set from a Excel cell containing a formula. The script errors on this staement. See below
        Range("O10").Select
        BlockSize = ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 ' DID Block Size
Cell O10 contains "=VLOOKUP(A1,SP_DID_Range!A:Q,10,FALSE)"
The above formula produces the value 20
What I receive is the formula instead of value the formula produces.
I am trying retrieve the value and use it in another formula. So "BlockSize" should equal 20 not "=VLOOKUP(A1,SP_DID_Range!A:Q,10,FALSE)"

If you want the A1-style formula, use the Formula property.
If you want the R1C1-style formula, use the FormulaR1C1 property.
If you want the value, use the Value property:
    BlockSize = Range("O10").Value
Note that it isn't necessary to select the cell.

Not resolved

Excel cell border disappears when converting to PDF (continued)

Continuing from http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4dd40 which was archived already.
I too am getting the problem in which Excel cell borders are disappearing from cells with a background color. Lowering the resolution to 300 dpi does not help.
The borders are definitely disappearing. Printing the worksheet from Excel 2003 prints the cell borders. Printing the worksheet from the resulting PDF does not. I created the PDF using the Create PDF macro that Acrobat 9 adds to Excel.
Here's the really odd thing: it only affects two adjacent cells in the same (first) row of the worksheet. Other cells with the same background color in the same columns or the same row are not affected, nor are the cells in other rows or columns.
Copying similar cells that don't have the problem, then re-converting doesn't help.

I just tested inserting a blank row 1 in the spreadsheet, moving the problem cells to C2 and D2, but the borders still disappear from those cells.
Restoring back to C1 and D1, I note that if I copy the cell formats to other worksheets, the problem cells lose their borders on all worksheets.
I then tested what happened if I specified No Color for C1 and D1. The problem transferred to cells G1 and H1, which had then become the first adjacent cells with background color.
Restoring the background color to C1 and D1 transferred the problem back to C1 and D1, and removed the problem from G1 and H1.
Next, I gave cell A1 a background color of white. This removed the problem from cells C1 and D1, and gave it to A1.
Finally, I turned accessibility tagging off and that made the problem go away. However, I need tagging as we must post accessible documents.
So now I have a consistent way to describe the problem: cell borders disappear from the first set of contiguous cells with background colors if tagging is turned on. I'm going to file this as a bug.

How to pass the value of an Excel cell to XL Reporter

Hi guys,
I'm posting this here because no one could help at yahoo's XLR group.
My problem is I need to passa the value of an Excel cell to ixGetData.
Searching I found there where 3 possible ways,
1)      =ixGetData("manager"; "RLH6J"; "[Pelissari].[dbo].[RelContas_a_Receber]"; " CardCode, CardName"; " CardCode ="&B6)
2)      =ixGetData("manager"; "RLH6J"; "[Pelissari].[dbo].[RelContas_a_Receber]"; " CardCode, CardName "; " CardCode =Cell("Contents", B6))
3)      =ixGetData("manager"; "RLH6J"; "[Pelissari].[dbo].[RelContas_a_Receber]"; " CardCode, CardName "; " CardCode = Cell(B6))
The problem is none of them are working!
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks!
Edited by: Darius Heydarian on Mar 27, 2008 11:44 AM

I'm sorry, I dont have the perfect solution.
I ceated a UDT [@Params] or UDF where the user has to insert the values for XL Reports (for exampel CardCode). After the User inserted the value he can start the XL-Report which are reading from this UDT or UDF the value into the GetData function. You must only insert a query into the condition of GetData :
=ixGetData("manager"; "RLH6J"; "Pelissari.dbo.RelContas_a_Receber"; " CardCode, CardName"; " CardCode = (SELECT Name FROM [@Params] WHERE ID='XL-CardCode')")
If you will find some other possibilty please let me know.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 export to excel - cells not suppressing

When exporting a table to Excel, cells are repeating in the excel report, despite the fact that these columns are set to "Suppress" in Column Format.
The values are suppressed in the table on the dashboard, the values are suppressed when we export to PDF, but when we export to Excel suppression is not working.
We have another report where suppression is working fine when exporting to excel so it does not seem to be due to which excel version we are using.
The suppression in excel worked fine in 10g for this report, and when we migrated to 11g, that is when it stopped working.
When comparing the two different reports, we can't find any difference in properties that could affect the suppression.
Any ideas on what we can do to fix this?
Best Regards

Field link to excel cell

I am using adobe acrobat 5.0. Is there a way to link the fields in an excel cell?

No, but you could write a little applescript to open the spreadsheet and go to a cell, save the script as an application, and put a link to it in the url field of an event.

Read excel cell from pdf

Hello
I would like to link a pdf file to an excel file so that I can set some anchor points in the pdf file that will allow the pdf to change the value of these anchor points whenever the cells' values in excel change.
Is there any way or any software to do this?
Thanks

hi,
well you are saying that your excel file contains the name of the file which is stored at somewhere in your root directory structure?..........if is it so then do you want to store the name of the file which is specified in the excel cell, to oracle database as BLOB or CLOB or you want to read the actual content available in the doc or excel file and then store it to oracle database? please verify........
this is possible using poi.....visit the apache's website for more information on POI api and downloads.......
thanks
