Can Excel named ranges be read by LabVIEW?

Hello everyone,
I'm creating a LV program that is filling an Excel report with different data – string or number. However, all the cells I'd like to fill feature a named range (one name per cell). Does anybody know if some VI can get the named ranges of a cell and proceed operations on it, such as filling or testing if the range exists? Moreover, I'd rather work with the named range of a cell than its position.
I'm working on NI DS 2012 SP1.
Thank you very much for your answer,
Mika

Hello Mika,
all the Settings of MS-Excel could be defined by using "ActiveX". You can find the Cell by Position, and rename the Cell, or u can search the renamed Cell. It is based on the MS-Excel Principle. If u cant do it with the LabVIEW Report OfficeToolkit. First of all, you should find the related Function such as the Function of Range http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.office.interop.excel.range.columns(v=office.11).as... . Then u can do it in LabVIEW with the same Principle, relevant Example could be found in Google(search "Excel via Activex in LabVIEW " for example).
Hope that helps,
APD

ID Named Ranges from Excel 2003 not appearing in 2007

ID CS3, Office/Excel 2007, PC based.
I recently upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Open an Excel file and save it as Office 2007 document. All the named ranges that I had previously set up are still there.
I go to ID and want to update the links - I get the message that link isn't found, re-link. I try to place the Excel named ranges from the Office 2007 document into ID, but the named ranges don't show up in the Cell Range box in the Microsoft Excel Import Options window.
Anybody else experience this?

Thanks. Maybe I can get CS4 (or CS5) worked into the budget for 2011.

How do you create the equivalent of a named range in Numbers for iPad?

At first I didn't think Numbers could handle named ranges but when I look at the formula written for the "Personal Budget Template" The "Actuals" column is calculating using named ranges but I am not sure how the ranges were created... In any case it does appear that there is a way. Does anyone know how?

Those technically are not named ranges. Its using the information in the "header" rows. Once you make a row a header row and sum it (or include the whole colun in some function). It will use the data/name in the header row in the equation to make it clearer. I do not think you can make named ranges in Numbers.
I made a test excel workbook using two formulas to sum a range, one with named ranges one without and sent to my ipad, when i opened it up...and downloading... yep... it converted the named range to a regular range with letters and numbers. no named ranges support.
But learn to use your header and footer rows to get the same affect in many functions.
When i assign both header rows and columns to a table, it combines them into one string to show "Jan 2001" when I had a header column with Jan in A2, and a header row with "2001" in B1, then used the value in an equation.
The one your looking at I think says something like "=Sum(actuals)". that formula is in a designated footer row, and has a designated header row. at the top of that column is the label "actual". if you look at the difference column formulas, you will see how it combined header rows and columns into a single text string and use it to cross reference the cell being used.

Placing Named Ranges from Excel into InDesign

InDesign CS3 5.0.4, Excel 2003, Windows XP.
I have placed named ranges from Excel into InDesign and linked them. The Excel file consists of multiple worksheets. I go back now a few months later to update the files. I go to place a couple of new ranges from new worksheets and they don't show up under the correct sheet. ALL my named ranges now show up under the first worksheet only.
Anybody ever had this happen?
JAG

I've upgraded to CS5.5. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred placing named ranges into InDesign from Excel works fine. One time out of a hundred I still see all my named ranges on the first worksheet and none on the rest of the worksheets where I originally named them.
I save the Excel files as XLS.
Am I the only one in the universe having this problem?
Can I get an answer?

BPC Excel - EvDRE & Named Ranges

Hi
I have an EvDRE showing sales by Customer, I also have a named range referencing the results, the named range is D20:D50, however, when I refresh the EvDRE the named range changes by itself, and starts from the last row of the previous EvDRE results, i.e. it becomes D51:D81.
Does anyone have any tricks for preventing it from doing this ?, I've tried $D$20:$D$50, but it still changes itself, and I've also tried not using a named range at all, and just using $D$20:$D$50 directly in my formula, but that corrupts when I refresh. I cannot unfortunately use D:D as I am Ranking the results.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
Gav

Hi all,
I can confirm that I am having the same error with BPC 7.0MS with the latest patches even after inserting the DO_COMPRESS 0 parameter in the dbo.tblDefaults table. I am trying to make an expansion on TIME dimension such as:
2002.TOTAL,BAS(2002.TOTAL),2003.TOTAL,BAS(2003.TOTAL)...
which works with only 2 elements like 2002.TOTAL,BAS(2002.TOTAL), so I rule out the source of the problem being wrong member names in rows or something like that.
Anybody has any suggestion?
Regards,
Rafa

Avoid Duplicate Named Ranges when copying a sheet from one wb to another with the worksheet.copy method

I have a template monthly report with about 30 pages and 50+ users. Each user makes some modifications to their copy so they are loathe to adopt any new version. My solution is to migrate their data, etc across to the new version. I've solved many of
the problems, but the current one has me stumped. Using OldWS.Copy After:=newWB.Sheets(newWB.Sheets.Count) I get a copy of new sheets in the old workbook and paste them at the end of the new workbook. So far ok. Problem is it duplicates named ranges. I added
Application.DisplayAlerts = False, and that stops the dialog boxes, but the names get added as local sheet scope variables. The .Copy method doesn't seem to have any parameters except the choice of before or after. I've been searching for a week now to no
avail. TIA for any help or suggestions.
Question: How can I avoid duplicating the named ranges if there is already a global (workbook scope) named range in the workbook?

Hi rdperkins,
Base on my test, the result is the same to you, it will keep the same named range in the new worksheet.
As far as I know, we can’t avoid the duplicate named range if there is already exist in the workbook.
Base on my test, we can’t create the same named range through UI, but we can do it through the code.
I suggest that you could delete the range in the target worksheet after copy a worksheet. (Name.Delete)

Excel Named Items not showing up in Browser View Options list

Hi,
Using excel 2013 - when I create named ranges under the 'formulas' tab, I expect to see them show up in the 'show' tab under Browser View options. However they aren't there - when I look at the 'items in the workbook' list I only see the charts and
pivot tables in my workbook, not the named items.
Is there some setting I need to flip on to see these times (and then use them in sharepoint)?
Thanks

Today, I tried it again and now I could see the Name range under Browser View Options list, this is my step as below:
1. Type the value in Cell A1 to B4. (Same as the screenshot as the last reply)
2. Directly type Test in Name Box.
3. Go to File > Info > Browser View options > Items in the Workbook.
Now the Name is appearing.
But when we define a name to a blank range, we would not see the Name in the Browser View options anymore. Try in your site.
By the way, My using version is Office 36 ProPlus, version 15.0.4551.1005.

Defined Named Ranges Not Showing in Publish Options

Greetings,
First off I have:
- 1 workbook with:
- 10 worksheets with data transpoosed in different manners
- 7 worksheets with charts and named ranges for each worksheet
The 5 chart worksheets have charts based on data directly from the 5 data worksheets. Each chart worksheet contains about 5 uniques charts.
There are separate named ranges defined within each chart worksheet that should encompass each of the different groups of charts on their respective worksheet. The probem I am having is that of the 7 named ranges I have defined only 4 of them show in the
Publish Options when I try to Save & Send the workbook tyo SharePoint. There isn't anything special about the 4 named ranges that show nor is there anything special about the named ranges that don't show. I have tried many different things to
get the named ranges to appear but they won't. I can publish all of the graphs withing the named ranges individually but that's not an ideal way to maintain them going forward. Any ideas on where to look to see why the named ranges are being excluded?
TIA,
MP

Named ranges and COM Interop

I'm familiar with the no double dot rule to avoid the dreaded:
COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used
However I'm unsure how this holds up for VSTO objects. As far as I can tell I
would not need to release an object such as:
Globals.shtTime
As this is a native VSTO object (??)
However I would need to release the object:
Globals.shtTime.InnerObject
But is writing something like this ok?
Dim TargetRow As Integer = Globals.shtTime.rngMainTable.Row
I'm unsure whether that statement is creating a COM object that refers to my named range (rngMainTable)

Hello,
> As this is a native VSTO object (??)
You shouldn't release any objects that doesn't come from the Office object model. As an example - VSTO properties like Application and etc.
> But is writing something like this ok?
Yes, you are on the right avenue. You should release any objects that you got from the Office objects model. For example, if both objects (shtTime and InnerObject) belong to the Office object model (not VSTO) you should release
them if they are not received from VSTO properties.
> Dim TargetRow As Integer
= Globals.shtTime.rngMainTable.Row
Only VSTO developers can give the definitive answer in that case. We don't know the source code of VSTO. But the
ReleaseComObject method returns an integer value (new value of the reference count of the runtime callable wrapper associated with the object) which you can check each time. Thus, you will know
whether it is should be called or not.

Load Table Data into Excel Specific range

Hi,
I am working with Excel Destination in SSIS, where i have to insert table data into multiple excel sheets with specific range, sheet name same as table name and i should load each table into that particular sheet name in excel.
So Sheet name will decide at run time and i have created one variable to pass complete sheet name (like [DimAge$A16:R1000]) in excel destination, but it is throwing error Here i am facing two complexities
1)Getting error while passing excel sheet name as variable
2) How to insert into excel in specific range of values shown as above.
Ur help in solving this would be appreciated

Hi Naveen,
Based on my research, a worksheet or range is the equivalent of a table or view in Excel. The lists of available tables in the Excel Source and Destination editors display only existing worksheets (identified by the $ sign appended to the worksheet name,
such as Sheet1$) and named ranges (identified by the absence of the $ sign, such as MyRange).
So when you use a variable with [DimAge$A16:R1000] or [Select * from DimAge!A$16:R$1000] value in the Excel Destination, the value acts as a worksheet or range name. But there is no such worksheet or range in the excel file, so the error message occurs.
To fix this issue, please select the cell range in your excel sheet, then right-click the range to define a name for the range to create some ranges with the specific ranges in excel file, then in the "Name of the Excel Sheet" drop down box of
"Excel Destination Editor" you can see that Named range. Then simply select the range from the drop-down list or use a variable with the range name as the Excel Destination.
For more information about how to import data to Excel sheet's specific region, please refer to the following blog:

Unable to Copy/Paste Named Range within Same Worksheet

Excel becomes unresponsive when copying a named range over one column. I have multiple sheets and it works fine on all but two of them. This is not just a macro issue as I can't get the paste to work even when doing it manually outside of the
macro. I've tried deleting the name and recreating it, but to no avail. Has anyone else had this issue?
Code:
    Application.Goto Reference:="Copy_CP"
    Selection.Copy
    Range("B6").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
Thanks,
C.

Hi,
I suggest to copy without selecting the ranges. it will save a lot of time
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("Copy_CP").Copy Range("B6")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

open the "Graphics & Sound" palette from the functions menu to use vis for reading/Writing wavefiles, search the examples shipped with LV for first steps. use the VIs in the "Analyze" functions palette to modify the data.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,
