How do I show/refresh data from an Access Web App in an Excel spreadsheet saved in a Document Library on Sharepoint 2013 online

I have an Access 2013 Web App in my Sharepoint 2013 online website. It contains a query to report on its data (several, actually, but let's keep it simple). I want to connect an Excel spreadsheet to the query, visualise the data in pivot tables/graphs/whatever,
save the spreadsheet in a Document Library, and let other team site Sharepoint users open the spreadsheet (preferably in Excel online, but with Excel client if it has to be) and see/copy the data, refreshed with the latest information from the Access Web App.
Simple, surely!
The way I'm doing it at the moment is to create an ODC file to connect to the cloud-based Access 2013 database, save that ODC in a Data Connection Library in the SP site, and use the saved ODC file as data source in the Excel spreadsheet. This works and
successfully keeps everything 'in the cloud' but I can't get it to refresh in Excel Online, and if I open the spreadsheet in Excel Client I have to enter the database password every time to refresh it. I don't really want to issue this password to everyone
who might want to view the data. There must be a better way than this ODC method, I suspect.
Googlings on this have led down various blind alleys - Excel Services, PowerPivots, Web Parts - but I'm stuck on which to follow through. Please, someone, point me to an article/book/website that explains how to do this step-by-step in simple language..
thanks
Jonathan

I don't see any quick way of achieving it - at least there's no such functionality exists in SharePoint. All you can do, develop an event receiver that will update the fields in the list item once the excel file is added/updated. You can use OpenXml API
to manipulate the excel file.

Working with Excel spreadsheet embedded in access table

Hello!
I have Access DB which contain Excel spreadsheet objects embedded in table. To work with DB I use ADO-Tool based on ActiveX. Data passed to my program from GetRows method as 2D array of variants. As I understand I should convert variant to object refnum and then use this refnum with property and invoke nodes to get data from spreadsheet. How to select data type for VariantToData to work with Excel spreadseet?

Hi,
Isn't it the same that using Index Array function? I believe that problem is in conversion of variant to refnum. For example, if I change refnum data type to string in Variant To Data, no error appears, and I've got some text data (see the attachment).

Excel Spreadsheet as Data Source & Copying that Data to an Existing SharePoint List

Hello,
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I get daily and cut and paste into an existing SharePoint list. Is there a way to make that Excel spreadsheet a data source and copy the data to an existing SharePoint list with less manual involvement?
Tools at my disposal include: SharePoint 2010 Designer, InfoPath, and Access.
I thought there might be a REST method I could use via InfoPath but I'm not aware of any offhand.
Goal is to have a method to upload/overwrite an Excel file (stored in a SharePoint library), every day, and then automate the process of copy it to a SharePoint list (actually overwriting the old data in the SharePoint list).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We can create a console application and use C# code to read the data from the Excel file and using SharePoint .Net Client Object Model to add the data into a SharePoint list, then create a windows job to execute the console application.

Need to Merge Excel Spreadsheet data with Word Disposition Sheet

I work for a Medical Devices manufacturer, and in order to keep track of our failures, we enter data into an Excel Spreadsheet and then print out a Disposition form containing similar information, which then gets attached to the Device folder. I would like
a way to cut down the time, by entering the info only once (Via Word, Excel, Access), and having specific info copied to a new field in the existing Spreadsheet and a new Word Document. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to enter the info with one of the Excel/Word/Access, the similar info will auto fill to the other Office documents. If it is correct, your required need some macro via VBA code. If you have further
question about coding, I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
If I misunderstanding something, please feel free let us know. I'll appreciate that you explain the requested more clarity.

It's recommended to download and install

Can UTL_FILE utility read from ac Excel spreadsheet

I can manually save an excel spreadsheet as a text file in a fixed length format and read from the text file using the UTL_FILE utility. But is there way I can save the excel spreadsheet as a text file in a fixed length format, programatically. (A batch file which can be run at the DOS prompt). If not, is there any way Oracle can read directly from an Excel spreadsheet.
Thank you

UTL_FILE handles ASCII files, but Excel files are binary files, so this won't work. If you did get direct access to the binary file, you'd need to embed logic to differentiate data and formatting/ headers/ control codes, which would be quite painful.
Assuming the spreadsheets are formatted the same each time, you could use Oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity and set up an ODBC data source that pointed to the Excel spreadsheet. You could then query the spreadsheet in SQL over a database link.

I have a windows 7 system and use Adobe Reader XI, 11.0.05 All my excel spreadsheet files have converted to Adobe files and I cannot access my excel spreadsheets. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled the version all over, and I also downloaded a security patch, however, I am still having the same problem. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen and what I might be able to do to fix this ? Thank you

I don't understand; did you really convert all your Excel docs to PDF (how?), or did you merely lose/change the file association?
If the latter, that's really easy: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/change-the-program-that-opens-a-type-of-file

CFQuery Excel Spreadsheet

I have an excel spreadsheet I have set up
an ODBC connection to for CF7.
I want to do a generic query of the data for
display....
in SQL I can do...
<cfquery..... >
select * from table
</cfquery>
How do I connect and read the data in Excel? cfquery?
Any help would be terrific....
DixieGal

First, i am required by law to say that you would be better
off porting the excel sheet to Access or MS SQL.
Anyway...
(1) Set up the ODBC source from the windows control panel.
(2) Set up the datasource in the Coldfusion administrator and
make sure it verifies OK.
(3) Then you can query the workbook like so:
<CFQUERY name="qFoo"
datasource="EXCEL_DATA_SOURCE_FROM_CF_ADMIN">
SELECT
FROM
[Sheet1$]
</CFQUERY>

Extracting data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

Hi,
I am currently developing an application that requires to extract data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Is that possible to archieve it?
If it is possible,your precious guidience will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

There are several approaches.
1) Export the data from the Excell in "CSV" format, which is simple enough to read as an ordinary text file.
2) Use the open source POI package, which reads and writes XSL files (amongst other popular formats).
3) Use the JDBC/ODBC bridge and the Windows ODBC driver which allows and Excell file to be treated as a database. (More details in above reference).
4) Use another open source package to connect to Excell via the COM+ interface, and access data therein.
Personally I favour the POI package.

I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have experience?

I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that automatically emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have similar experience and know that this would work?

I have had a first stab at the script, below. It uses a file to store the shortcuts and command [descriptions]. You should be able to see from the script annotations how to add a new one. (I populated 1-4 with real data, but got lazy after that, so you have a few placeholders to work with first.
As I have noted, once you are happy that you have all the data in the file, you can comment out part of the script for ongoing use. (BTW, my reluctance to use Excel is that I don't currently have it installed and I don't want to offer wrong advice. If you have Numbers, I do have that and could probably modify to work with a spreadsheet from there. This might be especially useful if you have the data already sitting in Excel.)
A few things came-up whilist I was writing the script:
1.     Currently, all recipients will not only get the same tip at the same time, but they will see the names and email addresses of the others who receive them. It is possible to modify this.
2.     I have added a property gRandomCheck which keeps track of which shortcut has already been used (since the last time the script was compiled. This will prevent the same tip being sent more than once.    When all tips have been sent once, the script will alert you and not send anything until reset. It does not check on a per-addressee basis (which would be a refinement). (If you add a new addressee at this stage, the whole process will start again, and you may not really want this to be the behaviour.)
3.     The way that I have built the list, commandList, is deliberately cumbersome - it's for the sake of clarity. If you prefer, you can construct the whole list as {{shortcut:"X", command:"X"}, {shortcut:"Y", command:"Y"}}
Have a look - I am sure you will have questions!
SCRIPT STARTS HERE Paste the following lines (thru the end) into a new AppleScript Editor document and press RUN
--The property gRandomCheck persists between runs and is used to stop sending the same hint twice.
property gRandomCheck : {}
--I am defining a file on the desktop. It doesn't have to be in this location
set theFolder to path to desktop
set commandFile to (theFolder as text) & "CommandFile.csv"
--(* Unless you need to change the file contents you do not need to write to it each time. Remove the "--" on this line and before the asterisk about 18 lines below
--Follow this format and enter as many records as you like on a new line - each with a unique name
set record1 to {shortcut:"Z", command:"Undo"}
set record2 to {shortcut:"R", command:"Record"}
set record3 to {shortcut:"⇧R", command:"Record Toggle"}
set record4 to {shortcut:"⌘.", command:"Discard Recording & Return to Last Play Position"}
set record5 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record6 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record7 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record8 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record9 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record10 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record11 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record12 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record13 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
--Make sure you add the record name before randomCheck:
set commandList to {record1, record2, record3, record4, record5, record6, record7, record8, record9, record10, record11, record12, record13}
--This part writes the above records to the file each time.
set fileRef to open for access commandFile with write permission
set eof of fileRef to 0
write commandList to fileRef starting at eof as list
close access fileRef
--remove "--" here to stop writing (see above)*)
--This reads from the file
set fileRef to open for access commandFile with write permission
set commandList to read fileRef as list
close access fileRef
--Here's where the random record is chosen
set selected to 0
if (count of gRandomCheck) is not (count of commandList) then
          repeat
                    set selected to (random number from 1 to (count of commandList))
                    if selected is not in gRandomCheck then
                              set gRandomCheck to gRandomCheck & selected
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
else
          display dialog "You have sent all shortcuts to all recipients once. Recompile to reset"
          return
end if
--This is setting-up the format of the mail contents
set messageText to ("Shortcut: " & shortcut of record selected of commandList & return & "Command: " & command of record selected of commandList)
tell application "Mail"
--When you're ready to use, you probably will not want Mail popping to the front, so add "--" before activate
activate
--You can change the subject of the message here. You can also set visible:true to visible:false when you are happy all is working OK
          set theMessage to (make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Today's Logic Pro Shortcut", content:messageText})
          tell theMessage
--You can add new recipients here. Just add a new line. Modify the names and addresses here to real ones
                    make new to recipient with properties {name:"Fred Smith", address:"[email protected]"}
                    make new to recipient with properties {name:"John Smith", address:"[email protected]"}
