Adding a link to an excel file in DVD Menu?

Can you add a link in the DVD menu to open and excel file?

This will be an option for those who have excel installed.
I am already including the file on the DVD in a folder called Excel File. However, I would like to make it easy for those who choose to open it. Other wise PC users need to the following:
1) Go to My Computer
2) Right click on the DVD
3) Click "explore" (Not open - which many will do)
4) Open the Excel File folder
5) Open the file
So my reason for doing this it to make 5 steps into 1.

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:

If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

Linking PDF and Excel File

Is there a way to link a PDF to an excel file so when the end user types in information it will auto populate what they are looking for? I would like for the end users to be able to search for their contact information by inputting their zip code and it populate in the PDF.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not even sure where to start.

Yes, but it's very complicated and requires a set of custom-made scripts.
The easiest way of doing it is by converting the Excel file to a plain-text
file (like a CSV file) and then attach that file to the PDF and use it as
the data source for the script that populates the fields.

Adding a link to an external file into SQL table

I would like to add a link to an external file (picture stored on my local hard drive) into SQL table. Then use C# to query data from SQL table and export to Excel. I got everything working ok except the link to external file. I would like to export
this link to Excel and user can click on the link to open the file. How can I accomplish this? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

In that case the Filetable feature could be of interest to you. With this feature the file can be part of the database, and still be accessible from tools outside SQL Server.
I don't really have any good examples handy, but if anyone knows of a good blog post that could help Nhan, please feel free to add.
Here is a link to the description in Books Online:

Adding rows to an existing Excel File.

Hey,
I need to be able to add rows to an existing Excel File. I just wanted to know what are my options here.. any sample VIs already existing?
any help is appreciated.
Regars,
Pete

Yes, the Report Generation Toolkit works very well for this (active x underlies). You can use the Write to Spreadsheet File.VI to append data to an Excel file. But keep in mind this file is text-based and not a true Excel file. That doesn't mean much unless you want manipulate the file with Active X, in which case you will have problems (such as col width, for instance). If you have Report Generation Toolkit, use it. It's very easy and flexible.

Please help me!! Thank you very much!

Hi Daria,
Have a look at:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_access_linkfile.html
or
http://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_dvdaccess.html
It contains a pretty good tutorial and sample files on how to do this. It can be done and it also works on Windows if the PC enabler [email protected] is included as indicated in the tutorial.

Can't email Excel file from Share menu

When I use the Numbers Share menu to email an excel file nothing happens. Looking in the Console app I see this:
3/3/13 8:12:47.446 AM Numbers[187]: Assertion failure: Method: outlineView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:item:
Object: <LSStylesController 0x2cade010>
File: /SourceCache/Numbers/Numbers-554/numbers/LSStylesController.m
Line #: 525
Found a non typical table style, using low DPI image
I can export the file as an Excel file to the desktop and email that but why does the Share menu feature not work?

When you send e-mail via the share menu you have to be very careful with the characters in the file name. The share menu will not work with any "illegal" characters. It's best to stick with only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens & underscores.

Downloadable file on DVD menu?

My client would like to include his powerpoint presentation to be downloadable from the DVD menu of his video. Can this be done...or can I only put a link to a website that recipients can click on if viewing the DVD from their computer..where, in turn, the file coule be downloaded from.

It's possible, but to do so you need to use DVD@ccess or eDVD or Intellidisc.
With @ccess you simply use a button to go to a new menu and embed the url for the file into that menu. As your viewer arrives at the menu then the link is activated and if there is a viewer for the file it will launch over the top of your DVD player app and play back the show.
However, it is notoriously flaky on PCs - it may not even work at all... on Macs it is more reliable, but folks still find issues with it.
It's probably better to stick to using some text on a menu to let people know that the file is there for them to access manually.

Making a DVD@ccess link to a Button on a DVD Menu

Is it possible for me to have a button link to a website using DVD@ccess?
In other words, I have a menu with 3 buttons on it. 2 of those buttons will link to chapters on the track. The third button I would like to be able to press and it will go to a webpage.
Can this be done and if so, can you explain how?
Thanks in advance

Not possible with any degree of reliabilty. Read this thread:

Linked Excel files on Sharepoint Online

Has anyone found a work around to having linked excel files on SharePoint Online?
Right now in all my tests, SharePoint Online disables the links in my excel file to cells in another excel file and I cannot find anyway to change the links.
This is a pretty basic function that is used extensively in excel so I'm a little surprised that this is not available in SP Online.

Hi,
According to your description, the links to other Excel files in the current Excel file not working if in a SharePoint Online environment.
In SharePoint, Excel files is handled by Excel Services. In SharePoint 2013, the “unsupported features continue to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007
for Excel Services”:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff595319(v=office.15).aspx
Among the “Unsupported Features in Excel Services in SharePoint 2007”, “External references (workbooks that contain links to other workbooks)” is there:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823(office.12).aspx
As a workaround, I would suggest that you can transfer the data from Excel file to SharePoint list/library, it would be easier to deal with this scenario in SharePoint
with the content management related feature provided.
You can also submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform with your expectation about the future version of SharePoint:

Using an Excel file as a dynamic data source? Opinions needed...

I have posted this topic before, but as always; in order to get the relevant correct answer you have to ask the correct question.
I'm trying to create a number of Pricelists linked to an Excel/CSV file. I have a Excel file that contains Pricelist information which is Product specific.
I have had a number of suggestion that follow:
A direct link to the Excel file. PROs: Excel file can be uploaded on FTP and overwritten if (and when) amended. Linking this is easy peasy in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can download info straight away on request - no hassle. CONs: Simply, not everyone has Excel and those who don't can not access the information.
Import Excel file as tabular data. PROs: Fairly easy to do in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can see info straight away. CONs: Can be time consuming on larger Excel files. NOT amendable (so a number of price changes becomes a big job). Can't simply overwrite Excel file on FTP. Larger Excel files can take a lot of page space and thus require tonnes of scrolling).
Use the Excel file as a dynamic data source. --Not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- PROs: ? CONs: Contributor added this suggestion is not a good idea as it performs poorly on the web.
Create a dynamic page using a database and import the Excel file to that....or maintain the price list in the database rather than an Excel file. --Again not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- My understanding of this option is that it will require XML data and SPRY work. Is this correct? Can this be someone who is not an advanced user?
If once again, I'm off the mark and better suggestions can be thought - please do so.
As you can see I'm at a bit of a crossroads so an suggestions, comment, help, links, tutorials or applause would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing the comments this throws up!

Hi
Although not everyone has excel just about everyone can open csv files in some way, if not offer the option to download "open office" which is free for the pc, as for the mac they have a program installed by default to use csv files.
The import tabular data is not really an option for the reasons stated.
Use excel as data source - not a good idea, requires asp.net to work correctly otherwise it does run slow and is not recommended if you are expecting more than a very small number of users.
As for the dynamic with database, this can be done with xml and spry but if you have a large amount of data this is almost as bad as the option above. You are probably better creating a database and importing your excel spreadsheet into this, for tutorials on creating a php/mysql database and set-up of testing server see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/application_development.html.
No matter which way you go with the last option it will require a fair amount of knowledge and experience to do correctly, efficiently and securely.

Can we combine multiple excel files into one excel file using SSIS?

I have a bunch of excel files in a specified folder. I wanted to combine all the excel files into one excel file by adding additional tabs in one excel file. Can I do this using SSIS?
OR
I know using macro we can combine multiple excel files. Can we run a excel macro in SSIS? Please help me.
Actually the complete package is this:
Step1: Using FTP task I'm downloading the bunch of excel files into a folder.
Step2: Above implementation is the second step that I have to do.

You can do it in two steps
1. First get all data from excel sheets to a sql staging table. For that you need to use a looping logic as explained in below link (you dont required the additional logic used for checking file name etc in below example as you need all files). Also make
source as excel instead of flat file
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2012/05/package-to-implement-daily-processing.html
2. Once you get the data onto a single table, use below to get it exported to multiple sheets within same excel destination file
