Can automator use the content of a cell ( in excel) to save a file ?

Automator & excel
Hello there,
I'm not so good at automator and I need some help.
I have a lot of excelsheet to make. Each sheet is about a customer ans should go to a specific folder.
As i am naming the folders by date followed by the name of the customer, it would be easy to fill the name in a cell. Can I expect automator to take the content of that cell and uwe it as a ame to save in a folder I should place in another cell.
P. ex.
cell A1 content 20090325verfreproposition
cell A2 content 20090325verfre
Automator should name the file as 20090325verfreproposition.xlsx
and save it in the folder named 20090325verfre.
Is that possible?
Thanks for helping me!!
You should be able to. Open the .ini file, read the key (if it exitst) delete it and write a new key (you might be able to directly overwrite the key but I havent tried this). Close the file with the write file? set to true and you should have modified the .ini file with the config vis.

How can I use the FTP server on Oracle XML DB for plain text files?
Hi,
I need to generate comma separated files for download via FTP. The files are generated from Oracle Table data and should be published on a FTP Server. Would it be able to use the FTP Server on Oracle XML DB?
If not, any suggestions?
Thanks
Frederik ChristensenYou can create a temporary CLOB with your CSV content, and then folder the CLOB into the XDB repository with DBMS_XDB.createRESOURCE()...
This would work fine.... -
Do I use the organizer to use Elements 12 as a simple photo viewer? Typically with photo viewers, you can access each photo in a file and go from one to the next without opening a specifc file such as with the Editor. I am new to this.
Or am I expecting too much from Elements?I was digging around with the instructional videos offered at the Adobe site and I believe I have answered my own question. The key is to import the photos into the Organizer and then it can be used as a simple viewer. I have always been hesitant to import any of my photos into any kind of "organizer" in the past and always just viewed the photos from the file folder as I wanted. But the MS viewer is not very handy from my point of view and I always used Photo Impressions in the past on my other computer. I don't want to download this software again due to all the adware that I expect will be present in the free version. My virus software will choke on it I'm sure.

I want to know if I can use my iCould storage simply to back up files. If so, I have not been able to figure out how.
Currently, only Apple apps (Pages, Numbers, etc.) can back up
data to iCloud. There is no way to use it to just simply backup any files.
There are some workarounds to get some data stored.
PDFs and any other document that can be read by Preview
can be backed up in iCloud. Load the document into Preview,
select Export..., click on the directory dropdown, then select
iCloud as destination. Not a drag and drop solution or an
all encompassing method, but you can get some stuff saved. -
Using the contents of a Script Label to rename / export PDF pages
Hi,
I have used datamerge to create a 500 page document, with each page containing text boxes with Script Labels 'Product Name' and 'Art No'.
I am trying to create a script such that each page is exported as an individual PDF, with each filename being 'Product Name'_'Art No'_label.pdf
Any ideas and help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
MattHi Marijan,
That's a good start thanks!
However, this can only (as far as I can see) use the contents of one Script Label, where ideally I need two...
I've tried doing it via a paragraph style at the moment (only the Product Name uses that certain paragraph style)
Is there a way to do it with two variables, i.e. $_$_label?
Thanks,
Matt -
Can I use the volume sliders after adding automation to tracks?
After adding a whole bunch of automation to pretty much every track on my first real project on GarageBand, I started trying to mix, and it seems the volume sliders are all locked up on the tracks with automation. I really don't want to have to add a million more automation points just to mix the song properly, so if anyone has a solution, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!Can I use the volume sliders after adding automation to tracks?
no
if anyone has a solution
you can select all the points by clicking in the header, and then drag them, though -
Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches. It only seems to have affected my email messages.
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume
Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

BEX Analyzer 7.0 - Use the content of an excel cell as an input value
Hi all,
Is it possible to use the content of an excel cell as an input value for a bex variavel?
Iu2019m using bex analyzer 7.0.
Thanks in advance,
Cátia Coelho SilvaHi Catia,
Yes it is possible to import values from exel. But this will gives you "INCORRECT INPUT PARAMATERS"..
So it is still best to use "Notepad" as your import file type.
Just copy your input parameters on the notepad then upload it via 'import text file'.
Please be sure to use Multiple selection type variable. -
How can I view the content of the message without having to double click on it; I used to be able to see content of the message next to it .
Is this in Mail?
You can (I do all the time). The oreview window can be resized by dragging the message list window border - you might accidentally have closed it up -
There appear to be big problems with Mavericks Mail, particularly if it's used for Gmail. Have other users noticed that it slows to a crawl and can't reload the contents of a folder instantly....Is there a fix coming?
There is a large thread relating to Gmail, but nothing that sounds like that.
Nobody here knows what Apple is going to do.
You might try removing the Gmail account and then add it back in. -

I used Time Machine to recover my Pictures folder. This created a folder called Pictures (original) but I cannot open it. There is a do not enter roadsign, red disk and white bar on it. How can I see the contents?
Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -
If I buy the new iphone 6 here in US, as a contract free T-Mobile, is he also will be unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks
Some users are reporting their contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6 is unlocked, others are saying that they had to activate on T-Mobile and use their network for 40-days to get T-Mobile to unlock the iPhone.
It would be wise to wait for the release of the Apple unlocked models. -
When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?
Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.
