Importing Microsoft Excel into ID

Is it possible to import a Microsoft Excel file into In Design and have it maintain all the chart formatting that appears in Excel if I have already styled in ID?
I built the ID pages from information supplied to me in Excel, customized the page layout, some info in charts, some info bulleted text of product description.
Now customer thinks they can give UPDATED excel files and expects the updates to be automatic.
Should I have made LINKS to Excel while I built the custom page layout? Was that a possibility?

You can import Excel files as tables into ID with almost all formatting intact. You cannot however place charts, such as pie and bar graphs.
You can link to the Excel file by specifying that in your preferences but you will not be able to apply formatting in ID and have it stick when you update the file unless you use table and cell styles.

Ipad Numbers apps unsuccessfully importing Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet

Here are what I did. I first sent a Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet (the format is xlsx) to my email. And then I opened it via Numbers in iPad Mini. The Numbers was importing the Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet. It took about 2-3 minutes importing the file. The importing status bar was indicating the progress. When the importing status bar was about completed and then the Numbers apps closed itself. I first thought it completed importing the file. I opened the Numbers apps, there was nothing. I attempted opening it for several times but it ended up the same. That seemed the Numbers was having a problem importing Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet. By the way, there are several tabs in the Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet. Would that be a reason why Numbers couldn't import the file successfully? Or maybe Numbers only import Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet with single tab in the file? Please help!

It's just general worksheet. No pivot table, no VBA logic. But there are several tabs. One of the tabs has formulas linked to other tabs. For example, formula like: '=Sheet2!B2'.
Its possible either of those could be a factor. I'm not sure if there is a top end limit on the number of tabs Numbers will handle (at least haven't run into to it yet). The formula syntax you have does not match what number presents, so that could be the issue, but I seem to recall it has not had an issue converting in the past. Could be wrth a look however.

Hi IndigoMontoya,
As a workaroud, how about merge mutiple excel files into one file, then import this excel file to sql table?
To merge excel files, please refer to this script:
$Files = 'd:\merge1.xlsx','d:\merge2.xlsx'
#Launch Excel, and make it do as its told (supress confirmations)
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application

$Excel.DisplayAlerts = $False
#Open up a new workbook
$Dest = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
#Loop through files, opening each, selecting the Used range, and only grabbing the first 6 columns of it. Then find next available row on the destination worksheet and paste the data
ForEach($File in $Files[0..4]){
$Source = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($File,$true,$true)
If(($Dest.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Count -eq 1) -and ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value2))){ #If there is only 1 used cell and it is blank select A1

Import CSV Excel into Access - Missing Data

I am saving a file in Excel as a .CSV. When I import it into my Access database, some of the data is missing

Please see this.
http://www.accessmvp.com/KDSnell/EXCEL_Import.htm
Instead of Excel, use CSV, like this.
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "ImportSpecificationName",
"TableName", "C:\yourCsv.csv", True

Import from Excel to Project - blanks cells are having dates automatically added

Hi. I'm very new to Project but have started setting up a Roadmap using it which is working fairly well so far, although have hit one snag.
I have data in Excel: it is a list of projects with 4 columns containing the dates of various stages (planning, initiate, execute, close). I have created a reusable map so this can be imported into Project and the Gantt chart to show pre-defined markers
on the timeline for each stage on each project row. All well and good so far.
However, not all of the projects in Excel have all of their dates defined. E.g. a project might not yet have a close date. But when this is imported into Project a date gets applied for it. I have no idea why!
How do i get the import into Project to allow any blank cells from Excel to remain as blank so that nothing is plotted on the Gantt chart for that particular section?

Thanks for both of your replies. I have tried this and the same issue occurs. I have checked each row in the imported Project data and they are all showing as set to 'manually selected' yet at some point in the import Project is adding data to blank cells.
I have retried using a simple test excel sheet and when this too is mapped into Project, any blank cells get populated with the date that appeared in the preceding row for some reason:
I can then go through and manually delete this cell in Project (which then replaces it with an "NA") - but if i have to manually do this whenever importing from Excel into Project then it makes it very time consuming.
Surely there must be a way for Project to not auto-populate blank cells? Or am i missing something fundamental?

Importing metadata from Microsoft Excel or Access to Adobe Bridge CC metadata

I'm trying to figure out how to batch import a substantial amount of metadata in Microsoft Excel or Access to the IPTC core fields in Adobe Bridge CC. I've seen the issue discussed, but many of the posts about it are six or seven years old. So here are the simplest statement of the questions:
1. Is it possible to export data from Excel or Access to XMP and then batch-import it in Adobe Bridge CC?
2. If it requires templates, are there commercial, shareware, or freeware templates that will achieve this?
3. If so, what are the links to those repositories?
4. Is there a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve this on PC and/or Mac?
5. What are the links to those instructions?
Thanks in advance for your help. I've used Bridge from CS1... but I've never used it for batch-importing to IPTC.

Well,
it works for me without problems.
Some information on my setup and what I did:
- my primary browser language is English (en-us)
1) Save the data in a file called hardware.txt:
SERIAL,HOSTNAME,ITEM_TYPE,BRAND,MODEL,OWNER,STATUS
AEP016136,d2vmrw61,Laptop,Dell,m71,Gary Cleary,Active
AEP016169,dhj3b71,Desktop,Dell,Dimension 4700,Unassigned,Active
AEP016170,cn-0g8432-64180-52p-1yts,Monitor,Dell,E193FP,Unassigned,Active2) Load the data (Load text data) into an existing table by uploading a file:
- File: hardware.txt
- Separator: , (comma)
Worked fine.
3) Load the data (copy /paste spreadsheet data into an existing table):
- Open the file hardware.txt in Excel and import it into the spreadsheet
- copy all three lines and paste them into the textarea in XE (the difference is that the columns are no longer separated by commas but by tabs)
Worked fine as well.
Please try the above mentioned steps and see whether you still get the error.

Importing Data from Excel into Primavera

Hello:
I'm trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet of a given set of columns (i.e. template) into Primavera. I wish to copy the data from Excel into a new activity at the Activity Level and have set up the template already at the Activity Level.
It is easy to copy and paste data from Primavera into Excel, but it is not straight forward to copy Excel data into Primavera. I believe you have to import the data, but I do not know how to. Is there documentation somewhere that I can access, or is there someone who knows that can help?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can control the activities that are exported with the user of a filter in the template options.
Go to Modify template options Add a new template or modify the existing
template. The template contains options for exchanging data with
Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Click Modify to
customize the selected template
Select a Subject Area in the Modify Template dialog box to modify its
options. In the Columns tab, select the fields to export. The available
options are based on the selected subject area.
In the Modify Template dialog box, click the Filter tab to select the
activities you want to export for the selected subject area. If using more
than one filter, choose to show activities that meet all selection criteria in
each filter, or to show activities that must meet only one selection criteria
in each filter. Select the filter(s) to use for the export file. If necessary,
click Modify to edit the selected user-defined filter. The fields available for
filtering are based on the selected subject area.
Have a great day,
Saryn

How to import MS Excel data into an exisiting SharePoint List?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to import an excel list or excel data into a SharePoint List that has already been created? Not create a new list.
I know you can import a spreadsheet which will create a new list, but I don't want that because I have created columns already that do calculations and such and I don't want to recreate them....
It can be either an excel or access list, but I want to make sure the pre-existing columns in still my SharePoint list.

Sure,
Go to list datasheet view in IE
Open excel and copy the range
Paste in datasheet view
If column range match and validation overcome, data will start pasting as expected.

Importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign CS5.5 [Mac]

Has anyone had success importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign 5.5? I've read that this is possible, however, all my attempts have failed. I've checked that Track Changes is on in both InDesign and MS Word.
The one pattern with all the files I've attempted is that, by the time I receive the file, the author has already accepted all tracked changes. The comments remain, but they do not import into InDesign.
I have 'track changes' ticked on the import dialog.
Is there anything I'm missing? Tips from people who've done this successfully would be greatfully apprecated.

Hi BhSimonP,
Did you got any solution to this problem. I am having same requirement now.
Please help me with your answer.
Thanks,

How to import multiple Excel/CSV columns into a single Sharepoint metadata choice column?

Consider: I work for an organization that has eight service territories. We have a series of procedural documents that can apply to from one to eight territories. We are moving this data over to sharepoint, and I'd like to add territory
data as metadata. Unfortunately, with our current knowledge management system, the best we can get is 8 separate fields flagged as yes/no.
is1 is2 is3 is4 is5 is6 is7 is8
1   0
1   1   0
0   0
0
0   0
0   1   1

I would like to be able to import this data into a SINGLE sharepoint metadata column as Choice/checkboxes/allow Multiple values. Is there a way to do this? We're using Foundations 2010, and our area does not have access to
development tools (including SPD).

Thanks for the reply. We have eight individual Columns in the Excel File, and when we do the import to Sharepoint, yes we get eight individual metadata columns.
I would LIKE to be able to import the eight columns into ONE column in Sharepoint.
Consider three documents.
Doc1 is information applicable to Territories 1,3 & 4.
Doc2 is information applicable to Territories 4 & 5.
Doc3 is information applicable to Territory 7.
      is1 is2 is3 is4 is5 is6 is7 is8
doc1   1   0
1   1
0   0   0
0
doc2   0   0
0   1
1   0   0
0
doc3   0   0
0   0
0   0   1
0
This metadata would import to a SINGLE column in SharePoint called IsTerritory, which is defined as a Checkbox (multiple values) Choice Field, limited to the values 1-8.
Doc1 would have checkboxes 1,3, & 4 checked, Doc2 would have checkboxes 4 & 5 checked, and Doc 3 would only have checkbox 3 checked.
Does that make a little more sense? I'm having problems validating my account, so I can't upload screenshots yet...
Thanks in advance for your reply.
