ActiveX container of excel table
Hi
I have a excel table with lots of font formats that I'd like to have visible in LabView. How can I do that? I tried to copy the ActiveX...Range but it didn't work.
I don't want to build the table in LV because of the font formats.
It's very odd especially because could copy graph picture to the clipboard.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Yves,
display your Excel table in an InternetExplorer component embedded in an ActiveX container…

Excel tables pasted into email
If I receive an email that contains an excel table pasted into it I do not see the lines. If I look at the email on a windows machine I see the lines. If I paste from excel into an email I am writing in mac mail I do not see the lines.
Any solution? I receive these pasted tables every day at work and without the lines they are impossible to read.
Thanks from a recent convert!Are the dates switching during the process of import? I just ran a test and that does not happen for me. Or are the dates in the Excel file set for English United States, and you would like them to be formatted English United Kingdom? If this is the case, to change format in Excel, select the cells, Format menu > Cells > Numbers > Dates > Locales.

Search text in Excel table in a Word 2013 document
Hello,
someone would be there if there is a file content search tool on Windows (such as Google search or DocFetcher ..)
that would return a string in an Excel table itself contained in a word document 2013.
This worked with such DocFetcher with old office version. But since 2013 dox Office Word and Excel xlsx had to change and it no longer works.
thank you in advance
greetings.
JLucHi Jlcapel,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for develoers discussing developing issues about
apps for Office.
If you want to a tool that supports content searching, I suggest that you search it on the internet.
>>This worked with such DocFetcher with old office version. But since 2013 dox Office Word and Excel xlsx had to change and it no longer works.<<

Place the links(Pictures and Excel table) to Indesign
Dear All,
We need place some Microsoft Word files into Indesign. and in the word files, contain some link for pictures, Microsoft excel tables. and we need use the C++ to build a InDesign add-in to do the following things( Indesign CS5, Windows 7, VS2008):
Place the word files into InDesign
Find and automatically insert the pictures link files into Indesign
Find and automatically insert the Microsoft Excel table into Indesign.
My Questions are:
Does Indesign CS5 SDK provide those APIs?
Can we build a standalone application to do those jobs?
if C++ can't do this, what kinds of Development tools can do those jobs.
Great thanks for any inputs.
My Best Regards,
JeromeHi Pudgesan,
You can paste data from an Excel spreadsheet into an InDesign or document. The Clipboard Handling preference settings determine how text pasted from another application is formatted.
If Text Only is selected, the information appears as unformatted tabbed text, which you can then convert to a table.
If All Information is selected, the pasted text appears in a formatted table.
If you want more control over formatting the imported table, or if you want to maintain spreadsheet formatting, use the Place command to import the table. If you want to maintain a link to the spreadsheet, select the Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files option in File Handling preference settings.
Hope this helps.

I want to append new numerical data to an existing excel table.
If you are using ActiveX to write to an open Excel document, you can ask Excel how many rows are currently in the document.
From the reference for WorkSheet, wire a property node and select UsedRange. Cascade that into another property node and select Rows. Cascade that into another property node and select Count.
This will return the number of rows that have been written. Just add 1 and use that number for your starting address.

Excel Table with Data Connection Manual Text Entry Misaligned After Refresh
Greetings!
I have an Excel 2010 workbook that includes a table linked to my SharePoint 2013 site by a data connection. The SharePoint list feeds the table standard information that's managed on the SharePoint site, but I need the user of the Excel workbook to be able
to enter text manually in the workbook to associate local information with the line-items coming from the SharePoint list. To do this, I've added extra columns to the end of the table.
The user can enter information in the appropriate cells in the "extra" columns at the end of the table, but when I refresh the data connection, the addition of a new list item on the SharePoint side results in the user's manually entered text getting
out of alignment with the row it's supposed to be associated with.
Example
Column 1(SP)
Column 2(Extra)
Row 1
Item 1
Row 2
Item 2
Text entered for Item 2
Row 3
Item 3
Then, if I add a new item to the list in SharePoint, for example, something that would appear between the original items 1 & 2, after refreshing the table, I get the following:
Column 1(SP)
Column 2(Extra)
Row 1
Item 1
Row 2
New Item 1.5
Text entered for Item 2
Row 3
Item 2
Row 4
Item 3
The table's data connection is set to insert rows for new items, and I could swear I had this working properly once upon a time...but I can't seem to make it work now.
Any thoughts on what would cause this?
Thanks in advance!Yes, it is. I realized after posting the first time, that I'd assigned the question to the Visio forum. I wasn't sure how to reassign to the correct (Excel) forum, so I re-posted over there:

There are many threads regarding usage of MS office with LV, but I was not able to find the answer to the following question. I hope somebody can help or point me to a useful thread.
I have an excel template file and would like to create new reports each time from it. There are a couple of solutions for this problem which are fine. But, at the end, I am going to build an application and install it on an industrial PC which does not have MS office installed. The question is if the application works on the target machine as well.
I am specifically pointing to the solution in here which uses ActiveX reference to Excel._Application. Any chance that this solution or any similar one works on my target PC?
If you wonder why I want excel reports on a machine that does not have MS Office, I should say that the reports are just stored somewhere on the disk to be transferred later to headquarters let say!
Developing machine: Win7, LV8.6 Pro + Report generation toolkit
Target machine: WinXP SP3, LV run-time engine
Thanks in advance!

Solved!
Go to Solution.You need to have Office installed on the computer that is running the LabVIEW application. It is the Office applications that provide ActiveX functionality to the Report Generation Toolkit. Without them, LabVIEW has nothing to interface to.

How can I use PowerPivot tables like Excel tables -- printing, etc.?
I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere, and even more surprisingly, no one else seems to have even asked this question...
How can I use tables I create in the Excel PowerPivot window in the same ways I use tables that are in ordinary Excel worksheets, to accomplish tasks such as printing? I am able to use the powerful capabilities of PowerPivot to produce tables with precisely
the information I need for reports -- connecting data from multiple tables/sources, filtering, etc. -- but then there doesn't seem to be any way to actually print what I'm seeing, nor can I seem to access cells in these PowerPivot tables from Excel worksheets.
If a PowerPivot table is conceptually an Excel table with additional power in terms of pulling in data and relating it, it would seem appropriate that all the power of Excel could be brought to bear on these PowerPivot tables, but on the contrary, the available
operations are limited. if, instead, a PowerPivot table is more correctly viewed as a data source that Excel worksheets can connect to, that would be fine, and indeed, one
can use a PowerPivot table as a data source -- except it can't be brought into an Excel worksheet as an ordinary Excel table, unlike most other data sources.
I hope I'm missing something really obvious, and that someone can point out what it is. Thanks.Kirchh,
When PowerPivot was first designed, the decision was to integrate closely to Sharepoint to allow for team sharing. We are constantly evaluating customer feedback to add more features, and this has been one of the feedbacks we have received. We will consider
supporting this in the future but with no gurantee.

I'm not questioning why PowerPivot is closely integrated with SharePoint. I'm asking why connecting to the PowerPivot model from within Excel was intentionally blocked by Microsoft, when all the functionality to do so appears to be present.
Is creating an OLE DB connection in Excel to PowerPivot as $Embedded$ supported?
No support. It was originally designed for SharePoint. This changed with Power Pivot for Excel 2013 (it's packaged with it). Originally the scope (in 2010 through 2012) was that it was for SharePoint users. So it became more obvious through that to market it
toward all Excel users. Thus the recent changes.

Word 2010 with Embedded Excel table becomes oversized for RDP users
I originally asked this question on the SharePoint Online forums as this was the first time we've seen this issue. Original Post
Summarized: we have a Word template with embedded Excel table created in SharePoint Online, and when a RDP user opens it, the document correctly opens in the local version of Word 2010 (not Word Online). When the table is edited, it becomes
larger to the point you can no longer view the entire table.
We have done some testing with Word 2010 outside of RDP and everything works correctly, the embedded Excel table doesn't become oversized and works as expected. It seems to definitely be an issue with RDP and I've been looking for any assistance
on resolving this issue. I recently did some further testing and found that the only time the table becomes oversized and not view-able is when you copy and paste information from an existing 2003 Excel document. I would think this is the issue,
but it doesn't happen when working with Word and SharePoint outside of an RDP environment.
The template is a .docx file. All RDP users are in a 2008 R2 environment.I did some testing over the weekend and the simple answer to your question - Not always.
I found 2 variables which seem to cause this to happen:
1) We have 2 TS servers - one with IE 9, which remains to maintain support for a legacy app which will not work with IE 10 or 11, and one with IE 10.
2) Screen resolution of the client computer - it seemed that systems with video configurations which could not exceed the maximum of 1280x1024 (the same screen resolution as our TS servers) didn't experience the issue. There were some laptops
and higher end systems with widescreen monitors, where this was an issue. They typically didn't have a 1280x1024 option; yet even if they did they would experience the same issue, just not as pronounced.
It also seems to only occur when a user copies and pastes information from Excel 2010 into the embedded Excel table in Word 2010. Again, only within RDP. On those client computers which had the problem, I could perform the same function outside
of RDP without any problems. However, this is not an ideal format for the chefs as they will frequently be moving between different systems during the day. -
Export Excel Table in .txt File with space delimited text in UNICODE Format
Hi all
I've a big unsolved problem: I would like to convert an Excel table with some laboratory data in it (descriptions as text, numbers, variables with some GREEK LETTERS, ...). The output should be a formatted text with a clear structure. A very good solution is
given by the converter in Excel "Save As" .prn File. All works fine, the formattation is perfect (it does not matter if some parts are cutted because are too long), but unfortunately the greek letters are converted into "?"!!!
I've tried to convert my .xlsx File in .txt File with formatting Unicode and the greek letters are still there! But in this case the format is not good, the structure of a table is gone!
Do you know how to save an Excel file in .prn but with Unicode formatting instead of ANSI or a .txt with space delimited text?
Thanks a lot to everyone that can help me!
M.L.C.This solution works in Excel/Access 2013.
Link the Excel table into Access.
In Access, right-click the linked table in the Navigation Pane, point your mouse cursor to "Export", and then choose "Text File" in the sub-menu.
Name the file, and then under "Specify export options", check "Export data with formatting and layout". Click "OK".
Choose either Unicode or Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. Click "OK".
Click "Close" to complete the export operation. -
Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table
Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file. -
Embedded Excel table in Word 2013
I just purchased a new laptop with Window 8 and Office 2013. Previous Word files with embedded Excel tables will open once then refuse to open a second time. I get an error message, "the program used to create this object is Excel. That program
us either not installed or your computer..." Both Excel and Word work fine on their own. One thread suggested turning off Add-Ins but I'm not sure how to do that... And it did not seem to work for the other person... HELP!Hi,
In regarding of the issue, I recommend we do some tests to narrow down the issue.
Create a new Word 2013 file and a Excel 2013 file, and insert the Excel file as object in Word to test.
If it works fine, we need to repair the previous Word files.
If it does not work fine, please try to start Word 2013 in
safe mode (Press Win+R > enter Winword.exe /safe). If it works fine, we'd better check the add-ins both of the Word and Excel:
In Excel/Word go to file>options>add-ins. Then down the bottom select COM Add-ins from the drop down menu and hit go. Uncheck everything hit ok. Close the options menu close Excel.
After, we also could update all the latest Office 2013 and Windows 8 patches to test.
