How to reference Excel 2010 template project in my ViewModel

Hi,
I have 3 separate projects :
Excel 2010 template project
Class Library project
WPF Application project
Excel 2010 template project hosts wpf user controls developed in WPF Application project. Those controls use command bindings to Class Library project which contains my ViewModels. When user clicks on button on hosted WPF control in Excel 2010 template project
ViewModel generating BindingList.
Now I need to show content of generated BindingList on Excel worksheet in Excel 2010 template project by using ListObject.
Can anyone provide me with instructions or even better with example or solution to my problem in order to make this working OK.
Thank you in advance.
Almir

Hi,
thank you for your reply. In order to solve problem, I have build the same WPF user controls in Excel 2010 template and pass DataContext behind working sheet in order to populate ListObject and show data in Excel datagrid.
Here is how I did it
private PlanningAreaDimensionDetailsViewModel ViewModel
get
return (PlanningAreaDimensionDetailsViewModel)DataContext;
private void Buton_Clicking(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Sheet1 ws = (Sheet1)Globals.Sheet1;
ws.ShowResult(ViewModel);
I don't like this code behind my button_click (I prefer no code behind) but don't know how to do this differently in Excel templeting. Any proposal will be more than Welcome.
Also, I have created ShowResult method behind my Sheet1 and it looks as follows:
public void ShowResult(PlanningAreaDimensionDetailsViewModel ViewModel)
PlanningAreaDimensionDetailsViewModel myList = ViewModel;
int ListObjectCount = this.ListObjects.Count;
this.Columns.Delete();
inputTable = Controls.AddListObject(Range["A8", "E11"], ViewModel.SelectedPlanningArea.ToString());
inputTable.SetDataBinding(myList.PlanningDimensions, string.Empty, null);
Do you maybe know how can I delete ListObject if already exist the one with the same name? This is where I stuck right now:(
Sorry for this questions, but I have never before used VSTO. Just trying to reuse my ViewModels and WPF controls in order to provide solution to my boss he asked (he is Excel man and wants Excel as Front)
Kind regards,
Almir

How to make Excel 2010 save a HTML report as a file without a folder created

We have a HTML report generated by Oracle Report with headers as below:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
In Excel 2010, after pressing the "save" button (not "save as"), it will by default save the report as web page format instead of xls, a folder "xxx.files" containing some css, xml and html files are created
in it. If user deletes the folder carelessly, the excel report cannot be viewed at all.
In Excel 2003, we can save it directly in its original format simply by pressing the "save" button, without creating a folder. May I know if there are any options in office 2010, macro or registries settings that can make
Excel 2010 to do the same as Excel 2003 when pressing the "save" button? Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, you want a workaround to avoid creating a new folder when saving a html file in Excel 2010.
In my opinion, this issue is more related to the feature of HTML format or Excel 2010 application rather and I don't think we could resort to a macro or registry settings to avoid that. I suggest you posting it in
Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.

How to block copying incomplete template projects

In our business we work with template projects from where we copy (CJ20N) the operational projects.
It does happen that these template projects are ´in maintenance´ or are being defined... there is even a status field for that.
The problem is that a user is able to create a copy of an incomplete template (they are geographically spread - so they do not easily communicate between template builders + operational project mgrs) - the system does not prevent a user from doing so... and according to our friends at SAP, the system works as designed..
Has anyone of you experts seen this problem before, and how did you handle it to make sure that a user cannot copy from a template which is in maintenance?
Edited by: Rony Cools on Aug 13, 2009 6:34 AM

Hello,
you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
Use
When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
Condition update
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
I hope that the information are helpful.

How to link Excel 2010 .XLSX file to SQL server 2008R2 - a method that actually works?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to link my excel file to SQL server like I used to with SQL 2005.
In SQL 2008R2 I have installed the 64-bit data access components from Office 2010 to get the provider 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' avilable.
When I try this command:
SELECT
FROM
OPENDATASOURCE(
'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Data Source="E:\ADUpdates\Employee List1.xlsx"; Extended properties=Excel 12.0')...[Sheet1$]
I get this error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7301, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IDBCreateCommand") from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
The Access Denied error seems to be form the worksheet and not the file itself. Evidence is that if I enter a bogus sheet name it tells me the sheet doesn't exist and after this error the file is locked open and can't be saved again from Excel until the
query windows is closed. The sheet is not protected in Excel so I don't know how access to it can be denied.
Does anyone actually have this working in SQL 2008R2?

Some minor progress on this issue by running SQL Server service under a domain account with Administrator priv on the SQL server.
This query now works in a query window:
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Data Source="E:\ADUpdates\Employee List.xlsx"; Extended properties=Excel 12.0')...[EmployeeData];
However, creating a Linked server object for the same spreadsheet still does not work:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'TEST', @srvproduct=N'Excel 12.0', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'E:\ADUpdates\Employee List.xlsx'
The test connection to the linked server failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "TEST".
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "TEST" returned message "Unrecognized database format 'E:\ADUpdates\Employee List.xlsx'.". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)

Each WORKBOOK in separate windows Excel 2010 Windows 7

Hi,
I read a lot of thread about this topic, and I begin to despair :)
With this config : Excel 2010 / Windows 7
I found the solution to open 2 Workbooks in separate windows, but from explorer / desktop ONLY !
But from Excel (when a document is already opened), if I have an hyperlink in a spreadsheet that points on an other wordbook, when I click on the link, I would like to open it in a new instance of Excel.
Same about FILE => OPEN (I would like to open it in a new instance of Excel too, always in fact)
Thank you.

Just an update to my above instructions:
I had an MS Office update pushed via my corporation and while I'm not going to try and determine which update caused the reversion, my Excel open commands reverted back to the default behavior.
What happened:
The (Default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE" /e "%1" (specifically the /e "%1") reverted back
to the default ... /dde switch.
The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\ddeexec
was returned (remember,
we renamed it).
The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\ddeexec2
key remained.
The same applies to the Sheet.8 keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\ddeexec
How
to revert Excel 2010 back to open workbooks in separate instances:
Simply
change the Excel sheet.12 and sheet.8 open commands back to the /e "%1" switch and
delete the ddeexec keys, since we already renamed them once before and the renamed key remains.
Detailed
Instructions:
Edit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command
Before: (Default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE" /dde
and: command REG_MULTI_SZ xb'BV5!!!!!!!!!MKKSkEXCELFiles>VijqBof(Y8'w!FId1gLQ /dde
to
Change: (Default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE" /e "%1"
Delete (if exist): command
REG_MULTI_SZ xb'BV5!!!!!!!!!MKKSkEXCELFiles>VijqBof(Y8'w!FId1gLQ /dde
then
Delete (if exist): "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\ddeexec"
then repeat the
above steps on:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\ddeexec
This seems to "fix" what an update unfixed.

How to export data from MS Project 2010 to MS Excel 2010 with formatting

I have created a Project 2010 export map to Excel 2010. It works fine. I have two questions that I cannot determine an answer. I'm not sure if its a project or excel setting. I have spend hours trying to make it
work with little success.
1. When the task name field is exported to excel it losses summary/task indent. Is there a way to set it up so it works via the export map?
2. The Start & Finish fields in project is setup as 5/26/11 when they exports to excel it shows up as 5/26/11 8:00 AM. Is there a way to set it up either in project export map or excel so its formated as a date field.
Excel's Format Cell function does not seem to work converting them back to just 5/26/11.
How can I keep the outlines and formatting in my data while exporting it to Excel.
I would appreciate any guidance.

Can I programmatically force saving an XLTM template to save as an XLSM file in Excel 2010 without defaulting all Excel file types?

I created an Excel template which includes VB and macros as an EXCEL.XLTM template file (I used a template file to keep users from overwriting the sample template file), but I have noticed that when users save the template, Excel 2010 defaults to saving
the new file as a XLSX file (removing all the macros).
I know you can set Excel 2010 to always save as a certain format, but I really would prefer not forcing all Excel files to be macro enabled for the user
Is there a way to default the Save type to XLSM for this template only? Like some code that I could put in that when the users saves, it saves as a macro enabled XLSM type only for this template file?
My users aren't exactly Excel savvy, so I wanted to make it as simple as possible for them.
Thanks!
Alan Edwards

Hi Alan,
>> Is there a way to default the Save type to XLSM for this template only? Like some code that I could put in that when the users saves, it saves as a macro enabled XLSM type only for this template file?
In my option, you could achieve this by adding Application.GetSaveAsFilename Method to the workbook BeforeSave event. Some key code like below:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FileNameVal As String
If SaveAsUI Then
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
But there is a limitation of this workaround, in this workaround, the save as will only support the macro enabled type, other save as types like "xlsx" will be ignored.
For more information about Application.GetSaveAsFilename Method (Excel), you could turn to the link below:
#Application.GetSaveAsFilename Method (Excel)

Excel 2010 reporting with Project Server 2013

Our company purchased SharePoint Server 2013 and Project Server 2013, mainly for the reporting/BI attributes. I read that the report templates, etc. that can be used by Project Server web app can only be accessed with Excel 2013?? Does that mean that our
group/customers have to upgrade to Excel 2013 to take advantage of the Excel Services? This is a huge deal. Can you please let me know as soon as possible? Yikes!! :-O

Hi,
As far as I know, Excel 2010 is still supported by Project Server 2013.

Move a Excel 2010 Dokument Addin Project (Visual Studio 2012) to another devleopment machine with Visual Studio 2012 , but Office 2013

Hi
we do have the following situation
on computer A there is a Excel Document Addin development project , Visual Studio 2012, Office 2010 installed. All works fine.
we would like to bring the project to another machine with Visual Studio 2012, but Office 2013 installed.
Visual Studio can not build the project. It says that the application is not installed on the machine (though Excel 2013 is installed , but not Excel 2010) It seems to have a problem with the
vbproj.
In other forums I found a hint that "Hostpackage = ..} needs to be set accordingly in the vbproj. I created then a "empty Excel-Addin project" under Visual Studio , looked at
the Hostpackage entry, put that into the vbproj of "problem project. It still does not work.
It would be great if anyone could help.

Hello Eugene
Problem is that it says that projectboard (the name of the main project) can not be loaded. All other projects in the solution can be loaded. Strange thing is , now that I try to create a empty excel Project it says that according to Excel security settings
it can not be generated !?
I opened then Excel and set all Trust Center settings to "Default" - but no effect. I really have no idea what is wrong ..!?

How to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
Thank you.

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

Excel 2010 - Userform - VBA How to stop 'Job No' from duplicating itself on next empty row

Hi there
Thank you in advance for taking the time to check this out.
Objective:
To prevent duplication of incident numbers in the datasheet, and format the job number with a prefix of
Inc- at the beginning. I currently have the cell customization set to “Inc”General but that only inserts the prefix in the cells on the datasheet, but is not showing in the disabled textbox in the userform.
The Problem
I have a ‘Job Number’ that is generated each time the form is opened and when the ‘Save’ button is clicked the data from the form is transferred over
The job number is generated from the previous entry +1 (auto incrementing the old fashioned way).
The problem arises when the ‘Save’ button is pressed repeatedly, the same job number and data is duplicated on the datasheet.
Is there some way to ensure that the number generated is unique, and if the ‘Save’ button is repeatedly pressed that it will just over-ride the existing information?
The number format currently used is 20150003 (incremented by 1). But what I’d like to be displayed in the form is
Inc- 20150003
The following code is in the form_initialize procedure.
Me.txtSEC_INC_No.Enabled = True
Dim irow As Long
Dim ws As ws_Incident_Details
Set ws = ws_Incident_Details
'find last data row from database'
irow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Row
If ws.[a2].Value = "" Then
Me.txtSEC_INC_No.Text = 0 ' If no value in Col A, it will return a 0
Else
Me.txtSEC_INC_No.Text = ws.Cells(irow, 1).Value + 1
End If
I’d be really grateful if someone could help me out, or perhaps direct me to where I might find some coding that will achieve the result I am seeking.
I have just uploaded the latest version
My Sample form is linked to my Dropbox so you can see how it currently works (or doesn't work)
With much gratitude,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

I am striving to improve my VBA but ... I am far from anywhere near in understanding the code that you have in your file. I feel really bad in saying that, but I am not a pretender, and will acknowledge when I am over my head.
I was thinking "simplified" :) ...
Don't worry, also Rom wasn't build in a day. :-)
I already answered the question about the duplication of the Job number in this thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/52f3c62f-b26e-4573-b7c2-8e7203786d7f/excel-2010-vba-userforms-vlookup-via-textbox-display-result-in-another-textbox?forum=exceldev
So let us talk a little about the TAG property, thinking "simplified" and how to save the data:
Most people start with code like this when they start there first Userform:
Cells(MyRowNumber, 1) = txtBoxA
Cells(MyRowNumber, 2) = txtBoxB
etc. many many lines till
Cells(MyRowNumber, 56) = txtBoxWhatEver
And then, after Version 1.0, they realize that they also want to load data from a row into the form. And they copy all the lines and exchange
the parts before and after the
"=" like this:
txtBoxA = Cells(MyRowNumber, 1)
txtBoxB = Cells(MyRowNumber, 2)
etc. many many lines till
txtBoxWhatEver = Cells(MyRowNumber, 56)
And maybe you have another 56 lines to "clear" the Userform, and maybe more lines... over 150 lines just for this... that is really tremendous.
I will not be
too harsh,
if it works, then
it's okay.
But often many people struggle when they look into the code because, which column in the sheet is written by this line?
Cells(MyRowNumber, 56) = txtBoxWhatEver
I've often seen that people change the code to this:
Range("A" & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxA
Range("B" & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxB
etc. till
Range("BD" & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxWhatEver
which is more clearly, but you must revise
150 lines!
And that is the point for the TAG property, which is in fact just a string. So when we write the column name ("A", "B", etc.) into the TAG property of a control, you can change the code to this:
Range(txtBoxA.Tag & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxA
Range(txtBoxB.Tag & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxB
etc.
And now the 1st trick, we can use a loop and visit all controls at once:
Dim C As MSForms.Control
For Each C In Me.Controls
    If C.Tag <> "" Then
      Range(C.Tag & MyRowNumber) = C
    End If
Next
And when we want to load data from a row into the form, it's the same, just the other direction:
Dim C As MSForms.Control
For Each C In Me.Controls
    If C.Tag <> "" Then
      C = Range(C.Tag & MyRowNumber)
    End If
Next
And to clear the form is also the same:
Dim C As MSForms.Control
For Each C In Me.Controls
    If C.Tag <> "" Then
      C = ""
    End If
Next
So we can remove over 150 lines and do the same with just the 18 lines above.
Isn't that a simplification?
Think about that for a while.
Ready for the next trick? ;-)
As the TAG property is readable and writeable we can use Sub UserForm_Initialize and save a lot of manual work:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.txtBoxA.Tag = "A"
Me.txtBoxB.Tag = "B"
'etc. till
Me.txtBoxWhatEver.Tag = "BD"
End Sub
No time to waste,
here comes the next one. ;-)
In your file, you can have named ranges, but always have headings! And so we can get the column name e.g. from a named range:
Me.txtBoxWhatEver.Tag = GetColumnName(Range("WhatEver"))
Function GetColumnName(ByVal R As Range) As String
Dim S As String
S = R.Address(1, 0)
GetColumnName = Left(S, InStr(S, "$") - 1)
End Function
Or you can use Range.Find and search for the header int the sheet and get the column name directly.
The benefit is that your form works even when the user change the layout of the sheet!
Simple
as it gets
(almost).
Andreas.

How to reference a customised report template

Hi
I've created a copy of the standard reports template and modified it so that it does conditional highlighting. I only want to reference this template in one instance in my application so I want to keep the standard template for the other reports.
How do I reference the new template without disturbing the other report templates?
Thanks
Andrew

Only works for classic reports, click on report that you want to change in the region area of the builder then Report Attributes then change the Report Template in the layout and pagination section and apply changes. for IR's you have to override the IR CSS definitions in your page template.
