Field link to excel cell

I am using adobe acrobat 5.0. Is there a way to link the fields in an excel cell?

No, but you could write a little applescript to open the spreadsheet and go to a cell, save the script as an application, and put a link to it in the url field of an event.

How do I make dynamic links to Excel cells, not sheets?

Help! I thought I'd found the perfect way to link an in-progress Excel spreadsheet to an in-progress InDesign file. That allowed the Product Management group to do content, and the graphic group to do layout simultaneously. After several days of layout, someone changed the number of rows in the spreadsheet, and all the cell links to InDesign are broken. I have pages and pages already done, and the cells are filling with the entire spreadsheet, and not tracking to the moved cells. HELP!

Bob:
Well, you had my heart beating fast for a minute, hoping it was that simple. I tested in .xls, and it does permit the link back to a unique cell, instead of the whole sheet, but it doesn't track cell content that's moved to a new row/column position in the sheet. I think I'm out of luck -- and headed for a few beers.
Thanks.

Linking to Excel cells

I am running Dreamweaver 8.0.2 and would like to create a
link on a page to a specific cell in an Excel worksheet. (All files
are in the same folder.) I have tried entering the code "Name of
Worksheet.xls#Nameoftab!X25", but the link just opens the entire
worksheet. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this to
work?

Can't happen. At least not that I know....

Have a field acting like Excel Cell

One of my clients have this request to have a field that can calculate operations for you but in only one field...
I am wondering if there's a method already made for this...
For exemple, in a field of hours, instead of inserting the number of hours directly we could insert the number of days he work with the number of hours and weeks... so the client could just insert 4 * 5 * 42 which will display the response in that same field... I can't make other fields for that cuz it's in a huge table and there is no space for more fields...
Anyone have an idea on how to achieve something like so?
Insert in a text field / decimal field / numeric field 4 * 5 * 42
will return the result 840 in the same field on exit event..
Thanks, Rob

Hi Rob,
I found the solution so if anyone else is looking for something similar,
you can set everything in the validate event of a text field preferably..
if (this.rawValue != null){
          // Validate the equation
          var regExpression = new RegExp("\\d+(\\.\\d+)*|[\$\$\\+\\-\\*\\/]"); // Create a new Regular Expression Object.
          // Set the regular expression to look for any equation's operators and numbers
          var result = regExpression.test(this.rawValue); // Test the string
          // If it fits regexp
          if (result == true) {
                    // all is good and execute the equation
                    this.rawValue = Math.eval(this.rawValue);
                    true;
          else{
                    // fail the validation.
                    xfa.host.messageBox("Please insert a valid equation to calculate.", "Information", 2);
                    this.rawValue = "";
                    false;

Help needed with referencing single Excel cells and formatting resulting text

In InDesign CS5 I am putting together a 20pp catalogue of about 200 products. The plan is to have the product information, SKU code, quantity etc fixed, but have the prices (there are two i.e. pack price and individual price) being linked to an Excel spreadsheet. This is so that the prices can be updated in the Excel file and the InDesign file will pull the new prices through. In case you are wondering why I don't pull the whole set of information through, this is because there are a lot of copywriting changes done to the information once it's in InDesign - it's only going to be the prices that will be updated.
I am planning on having two single cell tables in their own text frame, duly formatted with cell style, table style and paragraph style for the two price variables. This I am then going to have to repeat 200 times making sure I link to the next row down in Excel. This is going to be a hideous task but I see know way of modifying the cell in InDesign to point it to the next row in Excel. That's my first problem.
My second problem is this. In the Excel sheet, the prices are formatted as UK currency and are therefore like this...
£2.00
£0.40
£1.43
£9.99
£0.99
£0.09
What I will require is once I import that data (and refresh the data via a newly saved Excel file) is that the prices end up like this...
£2.00
40p
£1.43
£9.99
99p
9p
So if the value is lower than £1.00 it needs a trailing 'p' added and the leading zero and '£' sign stripped off. If the value is lower than £0.10 it also needs the zero after the decimal point stripping off.
Then formatting wise, the '£' sign needs to be superscripted and the same for the 'p'. This I am assuming could be done via GREP?
In summary, can anyone help with the first task of referecing the Excel cells on a cell by cell basis, given that it is the same cell column each time, but the next row down, and also point me in the right direction of the price formattting issues.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I would do this:
Create on line with the formatting.
Export as InDesign tagged text (TXT)
Read out these tags
In Excel exists a function to connect text from several cells and predfined text, there connect the content from cells with the paragraph styling tags. Do it in a seperate sheet. (Better would be to use a database like Access, there you can link your Excel sheet).
Export this sheet as txt file
Place this sheet as tagged text (there is an option in one of the sialog boxes).
In preferences < file handling you can specify that Tablecalculation Sheets and text is not embedded but linked, turn it on.

Read excel cell from pdf

Hello
I would like to link a pdf file to an excel file so that I can set some anchor points in the pdf file that will allow the pdf to change the value of these anchor points whenever the cells' values in excel change.
Is there any way or any software to do this?
Thanks

hi,
well you are saying that your excel file contains the name of the file which is stored at somewhere in your root directory structure?..........if is it so then do you want to store the name of the file which is specified in the excel cell, to oracle database as BLOB or CLOB or you want to read the actual content available in the doc or excel file and then store it to oracle database? please verify........
this is possible using poi.....visit the apache's website for more information on POI api and downloads.......
thanks

Export specific Excel cells to Access

Hi,
I'm putting together a submission form in excel which will update a database in access.
I'm currently trying to use a macro on the submit button to do it but and while i understand the majority of it im not sure how to establish the connection through the macro.
Essentially im a VBA n00b and haven't completed a project like this before now.
So i guess my question is how would i go about establishing this through an excel based Macro?
This is my code for submitting the data into Access
rs.Open Sql, cn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
With rs
.AddNew
.Fields("Date").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 1).Text)
.Fields("Agent").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 2).Text)
.Fields("Request").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 3).Text)
.Fields("Date1").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 4).Text)
.Fields("Date2").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 5).Text)
.Fields("Start").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 6).Text)
.Fields("End").Value = Format(Cells(50, 7).Value, "hh:mm")
.Fields("RDO").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 8).Text)
.Fields("Call Type").Value = Trim(Cells(50, 9).Text)
.Update
End With
If rs.State = adStateOpen Then rs.Close
If cn.State = adStateOpen Then cn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set cn = Nothing
MsgBox "Your request has been submitted." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Thanks...", vbOKOnly, "John Smith"
On Error Resume Next
Call Email
Range("e11:e18").ClearContents
End Sub
But what needs to go before it to establish the connection?
Also how would i find any SQL addresses required for the connection to be made?
Please help!

How do I duplicate a sheet while also linking the corresponding cell values?

How do I duplicate a sheet while also linking the corresponding cell values?
I have a page that I want to duplicate, then add to the duplicated spreadsheet, while having the original cells linked so they are updated as I update the original sheet. I've found tutorials on how to do this on excel, but I'm having trouble doing so on Numbers.

Hi Millie,
You wrote:
"My recipe sheets include two tables. The first calculates the cost per item, the second table takes the original recipe and calculates along with the sales estimates. The latter of these tables are all the same format, so in each one column A lists the ingredient name, column D is the amount needed per week (column E is the unit - oz, pound, etc). Could I then generate a search for "flour" etc. within column A of each of these tables? Currently they are all named the "estimated sales" but I could change that."
Shouldn't need to change the table name, unless the aim is to shorten the formula as written. That's assuming each sheet is named with the item being baked.
With the same name for all these tables, the cell or range references to cells on these tables will be Recipe (sheet) name::estimated sales::cell or range ref
With the recipe name used as the Table name (and that name being unique to the document) the sheet name may be omitted from the cell/range address: Recipe name::cell or range ref

How to export long formatted text from SAP to an excel Cell

I have created an object(ZMM_TXT_PD) and an ID(Y01) using se75 transaction.
With a Z program a store some lines in STXH table with object ZMM_TXT_PD and ID Y01.
These texts are very long and formmated.
Now I need another Z program in order to download all the stored texts in an excel file.
I have a program which is able to download an internal table to an excel. The problem is that
it only works with short texts. How could I download a long text that I get using READ_TEXT function
into an excel cell?
READ_TEXT returns an internal table like this:
i_tline TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline.
Thanks in advance.

Validation of data fields in the Excel through webdynpro java

Hi all,
I have requirement as below:
There are data fields in the Excel File which are mandatory.When we are uploading the Excel file through webdynpro java it should validate the mandatory data fields are filled or not.Can anybody please send the required code or any related links.
Thanks,
Prakash.

Hi Surya,
As per my info, you need to upload the file first then only web dynpro will be able to check for the mandatory fields.
Do this, while reading the buffer from the excel, just check the size of desired columns. Hope that will help.

The menu item "Links ..." in menu "Edit" is disabled.
Is this the same thing with your workbook ?
If yes and you still have links:
If you copy the formula of a link and paste it into the formula of a cell, it will not be considered as a link object.
Excel Link is an inserted object, or by copy/paste a link object, you can change the range in the formula, the range is changed but the object is always a link.

Dimension Overrride with Two properties referencing Excel Cells

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a Dimension override as the one below. It works fine. I can reference two properties and one of them is an Excel cell:
=EPMDimensionOverride(D31;"D_PO";"P_ALOC_NR=03 AND P_CTRY="&D3)
However, I would like to add some flexibility to the first property, too. I would like to also reference it to another Excel cell instead of hardcoding the value 03. I've been trying several commands but nothing seems to work.
Any clue? BPC NW 10.0 Add-in SP17
Thanks,
Alberto Sabate

I think the issue was due to leading zero of the property value P_ALOC_NR=03
Try "P_ALOC_NR=""03"" AND...
Or "P_ALOC_NR='03' AND...
Ups, sorry, the linked cell has to be formatted as text to accept 03 without conversion.

Convert contents of a formatted excel cell to HTML format

Hi All,
Background: I am writing a script that uploads some test cases written in excel into Quality Center. For those who are familiar with the QC Excel Addin, this script would do a pretty similar job except for reducing
the steps involved. I'm using Office 2007 running on Win 7 Pro.
Need: I have a situation where the contents of a formatted excel cell need to be converted to HTML tags representing the same formattin in the excel cell. For example a cell containg the text: "Verify
if help topics in Macro section are
hyperlinked" should be converted to
<html>Verify if help topics in Macro section are hyperlinked</html>
Question: Is there an inbuilt function in Excel/VBAn accomplish this? Or is a macro required? Any other ideas to accomplish this?
Note: Whatever used for converting (an inbuilt function or a macro) should support new line characters and colors.
Any help or redirection to solutions is appreciated.
Thanks, John.
