Adding hyperlinks to imported excel file cells

Good Afternoon All,
I am having trouble assigning hyperlinks and defining names to the individual cells of an imported excel file (import into Visio). Ideally, I would like to be able to hyperlink shapes in other Visio pages (of the same
workbook) to individual cells of the imported excel file and vice versa.  Is there any way of doing this? 
Please let me know if I can clarify.
-Tom

We've used this with good success for creating multiple worksheets. If you

  • Importing excel files - problem with single quote

    When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
    When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
    Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
    REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
    REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
    REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
    REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
    REM Error report:
    REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
    REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
    REM *Cause:   
    REM *Action:
    One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
    Thanks

  • How import excel file as data sorce in OBISE Physical layer correctly?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to import an excel file as data source in OBISE Physical layer. I create the ODBC that link the correct file (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html#t1)
    than imported the Excel using the import from database tool in the Oracle BI Adminstration. I see the Excel but i can't see data in it. Can you help me, please? I'm new in this.

    Did you enter a range in excel file?
    The range represents table name in the physical layer after you import excel file.
    See in this blog example:
    http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/06/obiee-excel-import-prepping-data.html
    Did you use import from database and select excel data source that you created in ODBC?
    I did the same and works for me.
    Save repository first and view data and check connection pool/data source name in your excel database folder.

  • Importing Excel Files and Formatting Issues

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. When in doubt, post in the forum! Anyway, I am using java via ODBC to connect to an excel file to extract some info from it, using SQL statements. Everything can be extracted without any problems, however, Excel keeps pi$$ing me off by changing the format of the cell data.
    Firstly, I highlight every cell in my Excel file and format it as "Text."
    Then I extract the cell info by using a ResultSet and getting a String (even for numeric data - ResultSet.getString(...))
    What is getting on my nerves is that not only does it not extract numeric values followed by a string, when it does extract numeric values, it is adding a ".0" after the value.
    For example, if the cell value is 123, it will return 123.0
    If the cell value is 123SHOE, it returns null
    Furthemore, when editing the Excel file, after having every cell formatted as "Text," if I enter a number, say, as a zipcode, 123450000, it brings up an error! But the very definition of "Text" states that "Text format cells are treated as text even when a number is in the cell."
    The moral of the story is, I want to convert all data in the Excel file to "Text" and when extracting data from the file, I need to be able to extract numbers, numbers followed by characters, and everything else.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks much,
    Josh

    Hey Dr. Clap, quick question for ya. I was checking out the Apache POI you recommended. More specifically HSSF. I noticed in the documentation that "String cells cannot conatin numbers and numeric cells cannot contain strings." Unfortunately, this is not going to work well with my app as some of the primary keys (I use the term loosely) are Strings which contain numbers. My main problem is that my app wont recognize the Strings containing numbers, so it returns null, and Excel is chopping off the leading zeroes and is popping up with an error because numbers are in the String. However, as I stated before, Excel notes that text cells can contain numbers!
    FYI, I am using Pervasive SQL to extract a given list of users in a DB (which I dont want to connect to directly) and am saving that generated query (list of users) into a text file. I then open the text file in Excel which parses it correctly and assigns the cells the correct values. So I don't think I can format the cells as text because I am importing the file I generate. I love doing things ass backwards :) Another reason I am using Excel files is so anyone can use the software so long as they have an Excel file with the appropriate columns within the file.
    Thanks yet again and I'll keep searching.
    Josh

  • Importing excel files linked to data

    Hi all,
    I have a client that wants to import Excel charts and graphs into InDesign and have InDesign maintain a link to the original dataset in Excel. In a perfect world she would like to update the data in Excel and have the information dynamically displayed in the InDesign chart. Word allows for this type of relationship, but from my research it doesn't look like this is possible with InDesign without using the InDesign Server and XML. Both of which I feel would be too much of an investment for this purpose. So at this point I would just like to confirm my suspicions or hear of any other ways I may not have thought of.
    Thanks.

    We're also curious to know any current and/or creative solutions to this issue. Wondering if there are any other methods or experiences on this topic??
    We played with this a long time ago, and from my recollection, if any cells changed (adding, deleting, etc.) in the excel file, the process would break down. It had to be the IDENTICAL file, with only data changing.
    And we may also have tried the PDF from Excel method. But obviously, Excel is not known for it's styling capabilities. This is what we're using InDesign for. So this method probably won't work either.
    - Any other ideas? Plugins? Scripts?
    Thanks.

  • Word Wrap -- Imported Excel File Doesn't

    I have a number of Excel files that I'm trying to work with in Numbers.
    In a number of cases the text I enter in a cell is longer than the width of the column. In Excel I indicated that this was text and that the program should wrap. The data transferred over showed the text as I need -- spilling to a second line when needed. But when I enter new text in the same sheet and same column the text is truncated to the width of the column. I have the "Wrap" button clicked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    In a previous post one of our Discussions colleagues was kind enough to suggest that I should read the User's Guide. Let me say that before I post here I do try the Help function and the User's Guide. Often it seems I lack the appropriate vocabulary / can't figure out how to ask / etc. I only post here when I can't figure it out.
    Also I am new to Numbers and am making an effort to switch from Excel. I wonder / fear that the files imported from Excel are not as "clean" as we might expect and so add to my challenges.
    Finally I have a few questions but for the sake of matching a specific solution to a specific issue I will post a number of questions rather than ask all my stuff in the same post.

    Sounds like Numbers (or the user) is setting only the individual cells to wrap. To apply that setting to a whole column, click on any cell in the table to make the row and column reference tabs appear, then click the reference tab for the desired column to select the whole column. Now click the Wrap checkbox to apply or remove the Wrap setting to/from all cells in the column.

    Understood. The Preface and Chapter 1 of the Numbers '09 User Guide provide a lot of the vocabulary specific to Numbers. You'll also learn a lot of that vocabulary by scanning the menus.
    Also I am new to Numbers and am making an effort to switch from Excel. I wonder / fear that the files imported from Excel are not as "clean" as we might expect and so add to my challenges.
    That's always a possibility, of course. Also, you'll find that Numbers does not support all of the functions and features found in MS Excel (although for many unsupported features, there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, or something similar, in Numbers).

  • Bug - Import Excel File into Indesign cs5.5

    Hi,

    The import facility of Excel or Word Document is only on a PC system of Dreamweaver.
    File >> Import >> Excel Document
    File >> Import >> Word Document
    For mac system I understand this facility isn't there.  What can you do about this?
    1) Get hold of a PC and download a trial version of DW and import the file(s) and you are done;
    2) Ask a friend to do it for you;
    3) Post your excel file online and some nice guy like Nancy, john or Murray will help you out.
    Good luck and let us know if this has given you some more ideas to explore.

  • Missing Font in Imported Excel File

    I keep getting a "missing font" preflight error on an imported Excel chart placed into Indesign.  Indesign CS4 wants me to apply a different font to the original file in Excel.  The font in the original file is Arial.  And Arial has been "installed" correctly.  Not sure exactly why I keep getting this error.  I've also tried changing the font to something else and I get the same error.  Its as if the "Arial" Excel uses is not the same "Arial" that Adobe uses.
    This is how I'm importing the Excel chart.  I used the Adobe Acrobat distiller to convert the XLS to a PDF.  Then I place the PDF file where I need it in my Indesign document.  I export the file as a PDF because its easier to work with since I don't need to make any changes to the chart itself.  I also find that Indesign doesn't like working with bigger Excel files for example, the selection box doesn't include the entire chart and its difficult to adjust the cells since Indesign adjusts the cell widths to be more narrow.  If I import it as an unformated table, everything looks terrible and I end up spending so much time trying to get the chart to look the way I want it to.
    Anyone having the same issues?  I'll thinking about just ignoring the preflight warning as I can't find a way around this.

    Basically I create the chart in Excel with the font "Arial", I then use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button on the top of the toolbar.  It does it's process of converting it then acrobat will open and show me the converted file.  The file looks just the way it did in Excel which is what I want.  I'm not exactly sure how to embed the font during this process.  To me it seems that it should automatically do that when acrobat converts the file.  I then "Place" the file into my Indesign document.  Once placed the chart looks perfect and there are no highlighted missing font fields.  Its just when I do a preflight check is when the error message appears.

  • Script for setting Imported Excel Table Cell Inset

    InDesign CS3 Windows XP
    I've checked the FAQ and ran all the searches, but I can't find this. My old computer crashed and took with it a script that I had that would set all the cell insets for the cells of the imported Excel tables in one swelled foop. Can someone point me to the source again? My price sheets are nothing but imported Excel tables and it takes forever to set all the insets for each block separately.
    Thanks,
    JAG

    Phah.
    app.documents.everyItem().stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().propert ies = [topInset:"1cm"]; //??
    This one-liner may need some additional work, but when I am done with it, it'll set the insets for all tables in every open document.
    Perhaps 'everyItem' also works on disk files ...
    [Edit] Just pulling your leg. I'll take a look on the one-liner when I'm back at work.
    I've got a class in a couple of weeks on Javascripting ...
    I'm jealous. They give classes about this? BTW, JavaScript is not that hard (e.g., not harder than any other reasonably popular programming language), but its interface to InDesign is something else. In this case, the magic word is 'everyItem'. (You'll learn.)

  • Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

    I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

    No settings adjustments.
    The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
    When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
    Without that links are "broken"
    You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
    Be well...

    *Install the plug in if its a pc.
    Thats the way I do it, so I cant walk you through the steps the other way off hand. Someone else might.
