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.

  • How to create a dynamic link in a Form to link to a specific FOLDER

    Hello,
    I have created a reports of all employees of my department.
    This reports shows me the empno and ename
    When I clicked on a empno ( for example empno = 1 ) then then I got a MASTER DETAIL FORM about that employee(empno = 1) .
    Who he or she is and which course he or she had followed.
    I want create a dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM which shows me directly the folder of that employee ( in this example folder 1 ).
    If I clickt on the report with all employees of my department on an other number ( for example empno = 3333333) then if I click on the dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM I want to see the folder of employee 3333333 !!! You know what I mean ?
    What I want to know is, how to create a dynamic link that shows me directly a folder which is dependent on which empno I had clicked on in the report ( report with employee numbers and ename )
    Is there any way to pass some parameters into a link to a Folder ? Is this possible in Portal ? Does anyone know how to do this, or do you have a suggestion how to solve this problem ?
    Thanks a lot !!!

    Hi Chetan,
    I am glad that someone had replied on my question.
    I will explain it to you again.
    I have created a report that shows me all employees. If I click on a employee number then I get an MASTER DETAIL FORM on my screen with all the information(where he works now and which number I have to dial ifhow can I reach him by telephone) of that employee on which number I clicked on.
    I really like this mechanism. (You click on a number and the information that you see in the next screen is dependent of the number you clicked on ! )I have created all this. It works fine.
    What I want is to expand this example.
    Every employee has a FOLDER (yes, those ones in Content Area ) which they can insert text or image into that folder. The folder name is just the employee number. ( employee with employee number 3303, he owns a folder which is named 3303 and an employee with empno 9999, he or she owns a folder with the name 9999. )
    Every employee can tell more about himself in that FOLDER by iserting text and images. For example : What he likes, pictures of his vacation, something like this.
    What I want is this :
    If I click on the first report,which provides me all employees on screen, on a employee number 3303 then I get a Master Detail Form on my screen with all information about that employee with employee number 3303. And I want in this MASTER DETAIL FORM to create a link that shows me directly the FOLDER of that employee ( 3303), so I can learn more about employee with employee number 3303. But I don't know how to create this link.
    That link had to be dependent on the employee number. The difficult thing about this link is that this link had to be dynamic.
    I hope this will make it clear to you :
    (report all employees:)
    empno ename
    3301 john smith
    3302 peter clark
    3303 wilson jones
    If I click on a empno ( for example 3303) then I get a MASTER DETAIL FORM which provides me information.
    (MASTER DETAIL FORM )
    EMPNO 3303
    ENAME wilson jones
    department New York
    mobile number 98908763
    Company tel. no day
    AOL 097485838 monday till wednesday
    Oracle 04848584333 thursday and friday
    LINK
    (what I want is to create a link here )
    If I click on LINK in this MASTER DETAIL FORM then I want to link to the FOLDER of this employee ! ( In this example it is FOLDER 3303.
    BUT IF I CLICKED ON THE FIRST REPORT ON A DIFFERENT NUMBER ( FOR EXAMPLE 3301) THEN IF I CLICK ON LINK IN THE MASTER DETAIL FORM THEN I HAVE TO LINKED TO FOLDER 3301.
    I just want to know how to make a link like this ( create a dynamic link to a specific folder ).
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Bought a Macbook pro 2009 2.8 ghz used, how do I make the most? (it was not formatted)

    bought a Macbook pro 2009 2.8 ghz used, how do I make the most? (it was not formatted)

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • How to disable "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox?

    How to disabl "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox? Here's an example website that has no underlined links coded in the simple html source: www.setv.org. After I updated FireFox to a more recent FireFox version, blue underlines appear in websites. I know that there is a way to disable that annoying 'feature'.

    Cor El,
    Thank you. Re; under-lined links...I thought I looked everywhere...but I missed it!
    Any chance there being a way to easily enable/disable animations? I'd sure like to selectively rid the screen of those noisy flashy-blinky advertisements.
    And how about storing java-script enable/disable flags with bookmarks? That way I would not be forced to click tools->options->content->enable-javascript each time I wanna turn it on or off? When I surf using database engines I disable j-script (phkem) and when I need to get something from nextegg I turn it on. What about being able to selectively disable/enable (also stored in bookmarks) embedded google-ads/beacons flags? I hate being tracked, now I'm getting ads on my cable TV set based on where I've been lurking on the InterNet. Big-phkn-brother's on us, and its the greedy phkn corporations who don't give sht about us except for what's in our wallets. InterNet used to be cool, now its the CIA, the FBI, KGB, policia, FartBuuk, Macro$haft, AT&T, Giggle (at least they give something of value back), and all the other facist big-brothers. Mozilla was born fighting that schema. There's so much more that FireFox could do to mitigate InterNet facism.
    Anyway, thanks again for your time and I appologize for the ranting.

  • How do I make relative link in a pdf

    How can I make a relative link in a pdf file, so that I can put the pdf file and the files on a usb memory stick and send it out to our costumers. I use Acrobat XI Pro. I can´t possibly be the only person with that problem, so please, somebody help me with a solution.

    Thank you for your answer, but I have already tried that, I did all the work with links in the pdf to jpg´s in a folder (and there are a lot of links), and put it all on a usb memory stick, gave it to one of our costumers for testing and it didn´t work, it keeps referring to our server. I had a similar project in Excell, where I had to link the text in Excell to a product related file, after that I put it on a memory stick, and that worked without any problems, but off course Excell is a whole other world. I just think that it shouldn´t be so complicated in Acrobat, so I´m hoping you have a different solution ;-)

  • I'm trying to open a folder found in a department drive that i have full access to via a link on a website but nothing happens. How do I make the link work?

    The link connects to my G drive and it should open up a folder for me to store things on my hard drive. This works on IE although I usually use firefox at home so I changed my browser at work. Can you tell me how to make these links work so that i can use a website online that will connect to my offline folders?
    Would appreciate it very much.

    Please update to Firefox 20.0.1 immediately, before continuing using the Internet. Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and has critical security flaws.

  • How can I make a link in a AccordionTab?

    Hi,
    This is my website:
    www.student.tue.nl/V/b.a.t.moor
    As you can see the basis for my website is a Spry Accordion.
    The words with a large font-size are the first navigationlevel. The
    smaller words in the Tabs are the secondaire navigationlevel. Now I
    want to make it this way that when you click on a single word (for
    example: first ideas), you will enter a new page. So it has to link
    to another document (i.e. firstideas.html)
    Is this possible? If so, how can I make this?

    Problem is that its a tab menu. The very nature of the
    javascript that
    drives it is to open that tab anywhere where the mouse clicks
    along its
    length. As the links are also in the tab it just ignores
    these and opens
    the tab.
    Can you not move the links to within the sub-section of the
    tab, that's
    how things usually work with a tabbed menu.
    I'm sure its not impossible to achieve what you want but it
    might be
    beyond your capabilities. It certainly looks as though you
    would need to
    alter the code substantially and maybe re-write the
    javascript to make
    it conform.

  • How useful is Adobe Dynamic Link???

    So I want to start using this dynamic link. I already own Premiere CS4 and use After Effects 7.0. In order to use the link i have to purchase the whole suite (upgrade) for $1,100 - I called adobe. The only program I want to purchase is After Effect CS4 and that will cost $299.Why don't they offer the dynamic link without having to buy the whole suite? I own CS2 for PS, InDesign and Illustrator so I don't see the need to purchase the whole suite. Is it worth it to spend $1,100? Anyone else use the new suite???

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    Thanks... yeah i don't really mind working the "old way" especially with this new machine that is shipping in the mail. It's suppose to render drastically faster then my current workstation, so I guess we'll see. I think i'll get the new AE and wait till later
    This is your best bet for now.
    In theory, Dynamic Link would be great.  But a Dynamic Linked After Effects comp in a Premiere timeline won't play back in anything close to real-time, which makes it very difficult to work with.  So I still render out from AE at the highest quality I can, then import the rendered file into Premiere.
    Hopefully Dynamic Link in CS5 will be usable, utilizing GPU-acceleration.

  • How can I make a link to EBS from BIEE 11g?

    Hello, I have some trouble with BIEE.
    I tried to make a link to EBS from BIEE using Action, but it doesn't work.
    I read manual and set as it is written, but when I click the link I got
    message which says that "Oracle eBusiness Suite Server cannot be used now.
    Please try it again.
    If it won't be solved, contact to support desk".
    I tried to edit xml files in many ways, but it doesn't work...
    The document and posts about making link to EBS from BIEE 10g can be
    often found on internet but not about 11g.
    If anyone knows about this solution, please help me.

    Hi Daan,
    Thank you for your reply!
    I construct the link by looking the document provided by Oracle.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm#CJAFDEIB
    In this document I followed the step to make database object and connection pool, set up
    authentication and modify xml files. Then I thought I could use BI Action Navigate to EBS,
    but it didn't work, then I asked coworkers and I've told to do "5.3 Embedding Links to Oracle Business Intelligence in Oracle E-Business Suite" in this document.
    At first I thought I need not do this setting because I would like to make action navigate from BI to EBS,
    not from EBS to BI.
    Although I managed to embed link to BI in EBS, it still doen't work.(but the connection from EBS to BI was successful)
    And I tried to verify BI and EBS are in same domain, but I have no idea how to verify.
    Could you please give me the way to check it?
    Sincerely,
    Yuchi
