How to open an Excel file and write data into it.

Hi All,
I have an excel template, which has graphs and some tables containing corresponding data. If i change the data in tables it changes the graphs. So, if i have a template in the server, is it possible for me to open this excel file and change the data in the tables to chanage the graphs. How can i go to different worksheets and go to different cells and change the values and save the file.
Thanx in advance
Cheers
Pej

You can setup an ODBC connection to the Excel file and update the file with JDBC, using the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
Hope this helps

How to open a Excel file and display on the custom screen

Guys, I am new to screen programming. In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001), displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3. I know how to load an Excel spreadsheet to R/3 without the custom screens. But my requirement now is to do from custom screens like I mentioned above. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001)
For this create a MPP program and create a Push button. Write the code for this to open a file like use f4_filename.From here you are able to select a file.
+ displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3.+
With the above you are able to open a file and now you have to load that data into internal table. Select the file from the desktop.
Totally you have to create 1) Screen 2) Push button( Open File) 3) Load data ( From file) .

How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"

If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
Excel
files, then you may not be able to have it in two
separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
Excel
file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
Option A:
In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
General tab.
Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
Excel Options -> Advanced.
Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
or
As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
Option B:
They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
open
in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
hope work thanks

How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

I am new to Indesign Server.
I'm currently working on a pdf.
I have a white blank pdf template.
that I want to attach/glue it with images.
How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

Are you asking in general how to read an Excel file using ActiveX, or are you asking specifically? If you're asking in general, please do a search, as there have been many examples posted on how to use ActiveX to read/write Excel files. There are also numerous links in the Excel thread.

How to open an excel file from labview?

I tried to use "open file" vi from File I/O -- Advanced file functions to open an excel file in LabVIEW. Why the excel file wouldn't open after I run the program?

In addition to ActiveX, you can also manipulate Excel data files using the Windows ADO interface - a technique that is more robust, faster and IMHO easier. Do a search on the forum as there have been several threads within the last week or so discussing this very thing.

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
     * @param args [0] = source filename
     *        args [1] = destination filename
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length != 2) {
            System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
            System.exit(1);
        File in = new File(args[0]);
        long fileLength = in.length();
        long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (in);
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (args[1]);
        FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
        FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
        fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
        fis.close();
        fos.close();
        t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
        NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
        System.out.print (nf.format(fileLength/1024.0) + "kB copied");
        if (t > 0) {
            System.out.println (" in " + t + "ms: " + nf.format(fileLength / 1.024 / t) + " kB/s");

How to open an excel template and display onto a table in Laview

Hi all,
I would like to open an excel template file. Once called up, I would like to display it onto a table in Labview. From there, I would like to write data to the colums or rows in it. Can I do that? What do functions do I need. Please show some steps....
Many thanks.

What you would like to do is very easily done with the Report Generation Toolkit for MS Office. It has slightly different VI that the NIReports llb, in the way that those VIs also support Word and Excel reports. If you don�t have this toolkit, you will need to use the activeX properties and methods to set this up.
If you would only like to open an Excel spreadsheet, you can use the File I/O VIs. To read an Excel tab deliminated file, use Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. One of its outputs is a 2D array that you feed into a LabVIEW table. Once you have the data in a LabVIEW table, you can just treat as a 2D array, and perform array functions on it to manipulate with the data
If you do have the toolkit, please look at the examples that ship with the toolkit.

Hello vsa,
I checked the specifications of this Function Arbitrary Waveform Generator and I found that it is GPIB complaint. Instruments with GPIB protocol can be controlled using GPIB commands, but each instrument could have different GPIB commands. Despite this, most providers have "standard" commands among its products.
I checked some documentation and found a help file that describes the GPIB commands used by this device, so the options are:
1. Wait for someone to develop an Instrument Driver for this instrument.
2. Check if you find any other Function Arbitrary Waveform Generator of the same brand that uses the same commands and for which there is already an instrument driver.
3. Create your own instrument driver.
If you choose option 3 I share with you the following links that you may find useful:
