How do I protect/unprotect Excel Worksheets with Activex

Hi,
I am reading and writing some data to Excel.  I have the Report Generation Took Kit.  I am trying to unprotect a sheet, do my stuff, then protect it.  I modified the Excel Get Worksheet vi. to include the protect invoke node, but the worksheet is never goes into protection.  I have attached the protect vi that I am trying to use. 
Any way to do this works for me, and it doesn't have to be as attached. Thanks

Well don't I feel silly. For this to work the Get Worksheet Function had to be used first to actually get the sheet. See attached.  This now works fine.  Download both files to see.

    You can try this Excel library, it can help u to
    export datatable to excel to Database.
    After add the reference to your project ,add the following code:
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    //connect database
    OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection();
    connection.ConnectionString @"Provider=""Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"";Data Source=""demo.mdb"";User Id=;Password="
    OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();
    command.CommandText = "select * from parts";
    DataSet dataSet = new System.Data.DataSet();
    OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command.CommandText,connection);
    dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet);
    DataTable t = dataSet.Tables[0];
    //export datatable to excel
    Workbook book = new Workbook();
    Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0];
    sheet.InsertDataTable(t, true, 1, 1);
    book.SaveToFile("insertTableToExcel.xls");

  • How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

    Hello
    I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them. 
    I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
    Cheers
    James

    What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
    When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
    You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
    icon in the header and you'll be done.
    Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
    two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
    let
        Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
        RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
        PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
        ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
    in
        ExpandData

  • How to name a new Excel worksheet using an invoke node??

    I want output from my specific labview code to be written to a new and specific worksheet (meaning I want to provide the specific worksheet name) of an Excel spreadsheet my LabVIEW code will generate. My code will run in a loop where I want data that is generated in each pass of the loop to be written to a new worksheet each time through the loop. I know how to do this if I am ok with just having each worksheet be named 4, 5, 6, etc (on top of the 1, 2 and 3 that comes standard with a new Excel spreadsheet) but I want more meaningful names than just those numbers... So how do I add a new worksheet and give it a name of my choosing??? Also, when right click on an invoke node and then click on "Help for Item" which is right under the Methods selection that comes up, nothing happens, meaning I am not directed to any help file. I see that same behavior under LabVIEW 6.1 and also under LabVIEW 7.1. My guess is either I didn't buy some option required to have that help area be populated or I had it as some option but didn't know to install it when I originally installed LabVIEW??? Having that help available might help answer the question I pose above... I find working with ActiveX components to not be straightforward. Granted I haven't done it much and what I have done has been sort of follow examples and get it to work... But on this naming a new worksheet I have found no useful examples. My guess is it's easy but I'm clueless... Any help would be much appreciated... Note, in case it matters, I do not own the Report Generation tool/capability... thanks... bob...

    Hi, Paris1:
    Take a look at "Excel Workbook Properties", that is located in
    REPORT GENERATION
    -> EXCEL SPECIFIC
    -> EXCEL GENERAL
    -> EXCEL WORKBOOK PROPERTIES
    One of its outputs is "Current Worksheet Name".
    You can insert a ExcelWorkbookProperties VI in a blank VI and then double-click it.
    You will se a rose vi named Excel Get Properties
    And inside it (double-clicking it), the way Worksheet's name is got. If you "Change to Write" that property node, you can set it's name.
    This way is very complicated, it can be done faster, but this way you can see a process to do that, and checking it, you can build your own excel VIs to do specific tasks.
    Hope it helps,
    Aitortxo.

  • How to list all currently open Excel files with ActiveX?

    Hello all!
    I would like to program with ActiveX a way to retrieve a list (array of strings) of the filenames of the currently opened Excel files in windows. However, I am fairly new to the ActiveX/Excel business in LV and after hours looking at the "millions" of objects in the property nodes I give up and hope some kind soul here can help me. I couldn't find any information in this forum regarding the same issue, although some were close
    I am using LV 7.1 without the Report Generation Toolkit.
    Thanks!
    /Goran

    Hi KC,
    thanks for your reply. I have in fact been able to find the desired things in the ActiveX properties/methods for Excel in LabView. It took me some looong work going through the functions which I suspected to be the ones. Anyway, I post a little jpeg here of the code if someone ever needs the same functionality. What it does is that it checks how many Excel workbooks are open and controls if each of them matches the searched Excel filename, if one does, it is closed.
    Enjoy

  • How do I print an excel worksheet so the rows have contrasting shades making it easy to read data across the page?

    I want to print an excel worksheet so that the rows are shaded light then dark, light then dark. This helps when reading the data across the page on any selected line. Where do I select that option?

    Not sure if it's any better in the version you have, but in earlier versions, you would have to manually select alternating rows using cmd-click in the row numbers and then fill the cells with the lightest possible shade in the fill palette.  Again, in an earlier version, it is possible to use the format painter (use your Excel help for details) to select several rows formatted with the shading and paint that format to an equivalent number of rows elsewhere.

  • Converting excel worksheets with links

    I am converting excel worksheets to PDF. The excel worksheets have links to external files. When using Adobe X Pro, the links work properly in the converted PDF document. However, when using Adobe XI Pro, the links do not work. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried going to print menu and turning on Print entire workbook? If this is set all pages will be shown
    By the way don't put page numbers in excel. Add them In the PDF. They will be line up right.
    Even though This is the Mac version of the Print menu so layout will be different in PC version but should have similar controls.  and this  setting Print What: should be exactly the same.

    Hi Alan J Stewart,
    This issue may occur due to the column name in your scenario.
    Would you please change the column name: raised by column to “raised_by”, and export the list with this column, check whether the issue persists.
    I have seen similar issue that caused by the column name.
    Thanks,

  • How Can i do a excel graphic with jsp?

    have to create an excel graph in jsp taken there values of a database.
    thanks a lot,
    Federico.

    "is used to spawn Excel from a JSP page, from the output of a HTML table but i dont know how (or if you can) to manipulate Excel through java so that you can get a chart."
    Let me rephrase this hehe =P
    You create an HTML table from the data you pull from the database. You then use the setContentType
    <%
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    %>
    this is to tell the browser it should look for Excel on the client machine, to dispay the output.
    Again i hope this helps even a little =)

  • How can i compare two excel files with different no. of records.

    Hi
    I am on to a small project that involves us to compare two excel files. i am able to do it but am struck up at a point. When i compare 2 different .csv files with different no. of lines i am only able to compare upto a point till when the number of lines is same in both the files.
    Eg. if source file has 8 lines and target file has 12 lines. The difference is displayed only till 8 lines and the remaining 4 lines in source lines are not shown.
    Can you help me in displaying those extra 4 lines in source file. I am attaching my code snippet below..
    while (((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) && ((strLine1 = br1.readLine())) != null)
                     String delims = "[;,\t,,,|]";
                    String[] tokens = strLine.split(delims);
                    String[] tokens1 = strLine1.split(delims);
                   if (tokens.length > tokens1.length)
                    for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
                        try {
                            if (!tokens.equals(tokens1[i])) {
    System.out.println(tokens[i] + "<----->" + tokens1[i]);
    out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + tokens1[i]);
    out.println();
    sno++;
    } catch (Exception exception)
    out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + "");

    A CSV file is not an Excel file.
    But apart from that your logic makes no sense.
    If the 2 files are of different sizes the files are different by definition, so further comparison isn't needed, you're done.
    If you want to compare individual records, you need to compare all records from one file with all records from the other, unless the order of records is important in which case your current system might work.
    That system however is overly complicated for comparing CSV files.
    As you assume a single record per line, and if one can assume those records to have identical layout (so no leading or trailing whitespace in or between columns in one file that's not in the other) comparing records is simply a matter of comparing the entire lines.

  • How to open a specific excel file by activex & overwrite by set_cell_value.vi

    I've seen the 'Write Table and Chart to XL.llb', but how can i open an existing excel file/workbook/sheet and rewrite some of the data instead of open a new worksheet everytime? It may already shown in your examples somewhere, but since I'm new to activex/property node stuff, I can't figure it out. Your help is appretiated.
    Thanks
    Anthony

    The process is very similar. Starting with the example, open the diagram and you'll see a VI labled "Open Book" (The name of the VI is actually "Open New Workbook.vi". Right click on it and select Replace/Select a VI...
    Now navigate to \\Labview 7.0\examples\comm\excelexamples.llb and select the file "Open Specific Workbook.vi". This VI has an input for specifying a filename to open.
    Likewise, the example also calls a VI named "Open a New Worksheet.vi" replace that with "Open a Specific Worksheet.vi" (found in the same place).
