Append excel sheet data to sharepoint list
HI,

Now i want to append some more records to the same list on sharepoint.
So is it possible in sharepoint?
Please help to solve the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Rajni
Hi,
I think there is no other method to update an existing list with Excel. It is only possible to create a new list based on an Excel-Sheet.
To save an Excel sheet to a list, click Site Actions->More options->Import Spreadsheet.
Browse for an appropriate file to import. The file will be imported as a list.
Thanks.

How to copy Excel sheet data to SharePoint 2010 List?
Hi,
I need to export excel data to SharePoint 2010 list. I have created 22 columns in list which are of following Column types:
Single line of text,
Multiple line of text,
Choice
Number,
Date,
Person or Group.
Now i need to export the excel data to SharePoint list.
When iam trying to copy data from excel to List , it is showing as "The selected cells are read only".
can someone guide on this to export spread sheet data to SharePoint list without importing Spreadsheet.
Thanks in advance.
BadriI've updated the example of using PowerShell to include a Person field (user field) and a choice field.
The CSV file has the following columns:
TRIP_NO
VESSEL_NAME
FLAG
AGENT_NAME
CURRENT_LOCATION
RPT_DATE
EMPLOYEE
EMPLOYEE_TYPE
#Get the CSV file and connect to the SharePoint list
$vessellist = import-csv -Path C:\Temp\VesselInPortReport.csv
$l = (Get-Spweb "http://devmy101").GetList("http://devmy101/Lists/smarInPort")
#Get the lists EmployeeType field (choice)
$employeeType = $l.Fields["EmployeeType"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldChoice]
#Loop through the items and add them to the list
$r = 1;
foreach($item in $vessellist)
$ni = $l.items.Add();
#Add the Title, using the rows VESSEL_NAME column
$ni["Title"] = $item.VESSEL_NAME;
#Add the "Date Recorded" field, using the csv rows "RPT_DATE" column
[DateTime]$rd = New-Object System.DateTime;
if([DateTime]::TryParse($item.RPT_DATE, [ref]$rd)){
$ni["Date Recorded"] = $rd;
#Add the csv rows "TRIP_NO" column to the new list items "Trip Id" field (SPFieldNumber)
[Int64]$tn = New-Object System.Int64;
if([Int64]::TryParse($item.TRIP_NO, [ref] $tn)){
$ni["Trip Id"] = $tn;
#Add some other text properties
$ni["Flag"] = $item.FLAG;
$ni["Agent Name"] = $item.AGENT_NAME;
$ni["Current Location"] = $item.CURRENT_LOCATION;
#Add user information
$ni["employee"] = $w.EnsureUser($item.EMPLOYEE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE value from the spreadsheet is a persons name. Eg. "Matthew Yarlett"
$employeeType.ParseAndSetValue($ni,$item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE value from the spreadsheet is valid choice present in the EmployeeType list field. Eg. "Manager"
#Update the item
$ni.Update()
Write-Host ([String]::Format("Added record:{0}",$r));
$r++;

Upload excel sheet data through sqlloader into oracle tables
hi everyone,
i am working with excel sheet with following records

after that when i write following code to make control file
load data

into table tmp
field terminated by','optionally enclosed by" "
(emp_no,emp_name,salary,doj,dept_name)
after this pl\sqldev returning me error message that ORA-00900:invalid sql statement
can anybody tell me how to resolve issue
or
another method to Upload excel sheet data through sqlloader into oracle tablesA control file is a file located on the operating system, not some SQL or PL/SQL code you try and execute.
Create the control file as a file and then use that to load your data with SQL*Loader from the command line.
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/sqlloader.html
Or better still, create it as an external table and then you don't need a seperate control file or need to use sql loader from the command line...

Firefox hangs when opening excel sheet in microsoft sharepoint
When opening a excel sheet in Microsoft sharepoint Firefox hangs / freezes. (not responding)
Only solution is to select end task in task manager.
This is with version 3.6.8 ( there is no problem with 3.6.4)
== URL of affected sites ==
http://The problem here is, you have setted the content type as excel sheet and you are writing some String content into the output stream. when excel tries to read the String content it will surely throw some error. Lot of excel APIs are available in the market to generate excel sheets.

On excel sheet upload read the workbook and populate data to sharepoint list
Requirement in my current project:
In a document library when I upload an excel sheet, a specific workbook has to be read and the contents have to be uploaded to a sharepoint custom list.
The approach followed was create an event receiver and register as a feature. Following is the code for event receiver.
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
var list = getSPList("{150301BF-D0BD-452C-90D7-2D6CD082A247}");
SPListItem doc = properties.ListItem;
doc["Msg"] = "items deleted from req list";
doc.Update();
string excelname=doc.File.Name;
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", "calling read excel");
string filepath = doc.File.Url.ToString();
doc["Msg"] = "excel name" + excelname + filepath;
doc.Update();
readExcel(excelname,filepath);
private static SPList getSPList(String SPListGuid)
// SPSite Site = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPSite Site = new SPSite("http://omistestsrv:32252/sites/OMD");
SPWeb web = Site.OpenWeb();
Guid listid = new Guid(SPListGuid);
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList List = web.Lists[listid];
return List;
private void readExcel(string excelname,string filepath)
try
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using (SPSite Site = new SPSite("http://omistestsrv:32252/sites/OMD"))
SPWeb web = Site.OpenWeb();
string workbookpath = web.Url + "/" + filepath;
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
var _excelApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", "iside read excel");
//my code breaks or fails when cursor reaches this statement. I am not able to open the excel sheet, there is no //problem related to the permission. same code snippet works in a console application. but when tried as an
event //handler in sharepoint it breaks. can anyone help me to resolve the problem
workBook = _excelApp.Workbooks.Open(workbookpath, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", "after excel open");
int numSheets = workBook.Sheets.Count;
// Iterate through the sheets. They are indexed starting at 1.
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", numSheets.ToString());
for (int sheetNum = 12; sheetNum < 13; sheetNum++)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", "inside first for
loop");
Worksheet sheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)workBook.Sheets[sheetNum];

"P89") as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range;
object[,] valueArray = (object[,])excelRange.get_Value(
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault);
var list = getSPList("{150301BF-D0BD-452C-90D7-2D6CD082A247}");
for (int L = 1; L <= excelRange.Rows.Count; L++)
string stringVal = valueArray[L, 1] as string;
if ((valueArray[L, 1] != null) && (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(stringVal)))
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload",
"inside second for loop");
SPListItemCollection
listItems = list.Items;
SPListItem item = listItems.Add();
item["Product"] = valueArray[L,
1];
item["App"] = valueArray[L,
2];
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates
= true;
item.Update();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
//Or Another Method with valueArray Object like "ProcessObjects(valueArray);"
_excelApp.Workbooks.Close();
//workBook.Close(false, excelname, null);
//Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workBook);
catch (Exception e)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", e.Message.ToString());
finally
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", "finally block");
Is this the only approach to meet this requirement or is there any other way to crack it. sharepoint techies please help me.as you described the scenario of the event that it should happen when user upload excel to a document library. Event Receiver is your best bet. However if you would have a requirement that users can send excel files any time to a network file location and
you want to pick it, read it and create list items etc. You would write a sharepoint timer job that would run every 10 minute to check for file and if available on the network drive, perform the operation etc. so that users who send excel file does not need
to come to the sharepoint etc. You can see that you have Event Receivcer option or Timer job option OR you would write a console application to trigger the code at a scheduled time on sharepoint server etc. so you are using the event receiver in the correct
scenario.

VBA code to update Excel Data in sharePoint list
hi Team,
I have excel sheet created having data. I need to upload it in sharepoint List.
Please provide me VBA code for the same.Please try this.
Sub UpdateSpecificCells()
'If nobody has the file checked out
If Workbooks.CanCheckOut("http://excel-pc:43231/Shared Documents/ExcelList.xlsb") = True Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Open the file on the SharePoint server
Workbooks.Open Filename:="http://excel-pc:43231/Shared Documents/ExcelList.xlsb", UpdateLinks:=xlUpdateLinksNever
ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 7).Value = 100
ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 7).Value = 200
ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 7).Value = 300
'Close the workbook
Workbooks("ExcelList.xlsb").Save
Workbooks("ExcelList.xlsb").Close
End If
End Sub
I haven't used SharePoint in many years, and I can't test that code now, but I've used that before to update Excel files in SharePoint.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it. -
Upload Excel data to Sharepoint list VIA infopath form
Hi,
I'll try to explain the process of what I want to do first.
1. In Excel
I have an exceldocument (XLS, XLSX or XLSM) with 4 named columns and a named worksheet saved locally on my computer.
I want to upload this data into preferably a custom list in sharepoint but it needs to run via a infopath template first.
2. In Infopath
The Infopath template will prompt the user to specify values in 2 additional fields.
After giving input to these fields user may browse for the locally stored excel document and upload the document.
In the same infopath template a dynamic array should be visible containing 6 columns (4 from excel + 2 from headerlevel of template) and the amount of rows based on the number of rows from excelsheet.
At the end of template a submit button is found for uploading the entire array into sharepoint custom list.
Is this possible to do at all?
NOTE! End user should not have to save the excelsheet as XML file nor do a XML mapping.
Infopath should, perhaps with help of VBA read excelsheet and transfer data to correct destination in sharepoint on it self.
Looking forward to your replyHi Jonas,
You can attach your Excel doucment into InfoPath form and send InfoPath form to a custom web service. Then you can parse the Excel data and combine the Excel data and additional fields into SharePoint list in the customized web service.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

How to read data from SharePoint list and append to html table?
Hi All,
I would like to create custom view of SharePoint list, so want to append those sharepoint list items in a custom html table design using content editor webpart.
How to achieve this? thanks in advance!Content edit web part is not the right control. You can either Content Query Web Part
or Data view web part, where you need to modify xslt template using
SharePoint Designer and can render list data as per choice.

Excel VBA to access sharepoint list without permission
Hi,
I do find solution to retrieve the SharePoint list from excel VBA but my problem now is on the SharePoint permission to the list.
I am developing this solution in excel because i don't want the particular user to access the list direct from the portal because the list contains some unique and confidential data. So what i did was created a new view in the portal with selected column
and i connect to the view from excel. So every time the user want to retrieve the data, he can run macro to refresh the data in the excel.
When i run the macro it can generate the list because i do have permission but if i run the same macro on the person machine, excel request for username and password because he don't have the permission to the list.
Are there any work around to allow the user to generate the data in excel without permission to the SharePoint list.
Thanks for the help.I've done this before using SQL Server Reporting Services integrated into SharePoint.
Using SSRS, create the report you want the end user to view. Then create a Report Subscription, emailing the end user (or putting it in a file share/Doc Lib) the report. If they want to run it interactively, you can enable caching on the report, which would
pull the report from the last time it was scheduled to run (the data would not be 'real time' in this case).

Hi,
Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.
This particular BISM file can't be saved without getting the error message "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."
BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?

How to check data in Data Target Browser against a Excel sheet data
Hi Experts,
I have two Data Targets with CUSTOMER as field. I would like to compare the CUSTOMER records in both the Data Targets. I saved "Data Target 1" to Excel sheet.
Now, I am thinking that somehow I need to load this Excel sheet into the "Data Target 2" to verify matching records for CUSTOMER. Let me know if this is a possibility.
Also, what would be a better way to get the list of all the matching records for CUSTOMER in two different Data Targets.Hi,
Is Customer is the Master data, if so then goto SE16, give ur master data table name /BIC/Mtable name, then execute, In the results page>menu bar> Edit>Download> Save file in Rich text format-->export the data.same way u do it for other one two. -
SSRS and data from SharePoint lists - special characters in HTML
Hi All,
This may not actually fit into this forum, but here goes anyway...
We're using SSRS to report on data stored in Project Server workspaces (so SharePoint lists). Prior to upgrading to 2013, we could pull this data in and set the "Placeholder properties" of the text box to interpret HTML tags as styles and it would
format everything as it appeared in the SharePoint list. Now that we have upgraded to 2013, this works with a few notable exceptions - some special characters are rendered as their escaped/encoded (whatever the term is) - so a colon which is within the text
field in SharePoint, rather than appearing in the SSRS report as ":" appears as ":".
These are multiline, rich text formatted columns in the SharePoint list. Using =Replace(Fields!Description.Value,":",":") in the report makes the appropriate replacement, but given that this occurs with a handful of other special
characters as well, this solution becomes very unruley very quickly. Has anyone else encountered this, or does anyone have any other suggestions for a work around?
If not now, when?Facing same issue but having no solution, please suggest..
