Is it possible to Save an Excel Data form as a User form.

This Question has come up before, but I think the OP was misunderstood. http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/194594-can-an-excel-spreadsheet-be-turned-into-a-fillable-form...I have a group of rather large spread sheets each represents an inventory for a "service"I can use the Form command on the Ribbon to get an Entry form for that flat Database no problem; but that form is absurdly long, and cumbersome. And while I could duplicate the form by hand it seems a waste when Excel can create the form in about a second. What I really need to be able to do is save, and edit; Reorganize the form. So my group can use it for Data Entry, and print copies of the form for the service audit. Your help is hugely appreciated. Tom.

Thanks, bifocals, but it's not working that way.
Here's what happens:
I open the email with the xls attachment.
I click on the attachment and select Open Attachment, then Edit with Documents to Go.
Nothing happens, it brings me back to the original email.
I tried the same thing but instead of selecting Open Attachment, I hit Download Attachment
Next screen is "Select Folder", defaults to "...ckBerry/documents/Up, but I also created a new folder called test.
If I select the test folder, the next screen is:
Select Here
Select Folder
Up
View Thumbnails
View Titles
Open
New Folder
Delete
Rename
Properties
Receive Using Bluetooth
Hide
Close
So I assumed that it would be "Select Here", but again, it takes me back to my email message and nothing opens.
If I go to Documents to Go, select the Excel to Go, and Open Files... and browse to the test folder (it's there!), it does a quick Scan and the only result is the Up folder.
It's so annoying! Some people in other forums have suggested that it's because it's an xls file and not a media file, hence the name media card, but I find that hard to believe.
Please let me know your thoughts. Many, many thanks.

The spreadsheet opens fine, I can view it with no problems.

Possible to use Ms Excel data as a dataprovider in Flashbuilder for charting

My dept has an excel spreadsheet with sales data. I'd like to know if anyone has used Excel data for charting in Flashbuilder? Does anyone know of any resources or samples?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like I found my own answer.
Seems that all I need to do was convert my Header data into a 2D array.
Don't know why that one was so tricky to figure out. But it's working now.

Is it possible to save a copy of Form

Whenever I open my custom bid form in Adobe Reader it gives me a warning message that says I will not be able to save data entered into the form and if I would like a copy of the Form I need to print it.
Is it possible to save a copy of the form (and data entered into it) to my computer for record keeping purposes. I would like to be able to open the Form and enter data and then save a copy of this form for Customer A and then open the form again and enter data for Customer B and save that form...etc...

You have to "rights enable" the PDF. You do that in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, following menu option "Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader"

Hi,

Currently we need to validate and then transfer one by one.
During validation if any error is occur then user want to modify during validation only; he dont want to back to the excel file and modify.
So here; if validation failed, then need to open that excel files from oracle form and the modify the error, and then saved it.

Is it possible to save / extract data from a MS SQL database 2008 using lookout 6.2?

Is it possible to save / extract data from a MS SQL database 2008 using lookout 6.2?
Now a days we are saving / extracting data in a excel spreadsheet, but we would like to do that using a database because it is better.

You can use ODBC connection to work with SQL Server database.
Use SQLExec object to execute the SQL statement. Here is a KB about the SQL statement.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4ADEEA04CD24AE0B862565E20002A16F?OpenDocument
To write data to spreadsheet is more straightforward because Lookout has built-in spreadsheet object. But you need to write SQL statement by yourself to interact with other database.
To read the data back is the same way. Just use "select" SQL statement to query. You can use Datatable object to query.
The "Data Source" can be "DSN = data source name;". The data source name is configured in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources(ODBC).

I am making a HMI and want to user to be able to study earlier graphs. It would be best if this could be saved in a report or something.... I am using labview 8.0 and the DSC module.

Is it possible to save a data portion starting from when a "save" button is pressed?

Hi,
The below attached vi acquires data from a sensor. The sensor signal output can be reset to zero and the data saved into a file. However, the saved data comprises the data portion starting from when the vi starts running until the "stop" button is pressed. Is it possible to save the data portion starting from when the "save" button until the "stop" button are pressed?
Best regards,

How to save an excel file as CSV with semi-colon as data separator?

We are creating a flat data file to load the flat file data to our BW system with Excel. When we save the file, there are three kinds of CSV types for selecting from the "Save as type" list box:
CSV (Comma delimited)
CSV (Macintosh)
CSV (MS-DOS)
There is no CSV (semi colon delimited) type. If we pick CSV (Comma delimted) as the type, then when clicking the "Preview ..." picture icon under the "DataSource/Trans. Structure" tab of the InfoSource for this flat file (with the CSV radio button checked the Data separator default is ";"), the File Upload Preview window shows the data is messed up that some columns of the excel flat file are combined into one column.
Since the save type we picked is "CSV (Comma delimited)", then we try to change the default Data separator from ";" to "," in the preview selection screen, but still not helpful!
How to resolve the above problem?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
This "," is defined in your windows setting. If you want to have ";" as separator then go to control Panel, select Regional Options, go to Numbers Tab and define the List separator as ";". After that when you will save your excel file as CSV(MS-DOS) it will have ";" as separator. This will make sure that the amounts are not broken in to two different fields while loading.
Else if you keep "," as separator then you can also go into the Excel and define all number fields as Number without thousand separator.
Let me know if you have any doubts in this.
Regards,
Rohit

i had iphone 5s which was accidently dropped in water i dont know if it could be fixed or not but is it possible to save my data using i clouds without fixing the phone

if you set it up to sync with iclouds in terms of contacts and calendar and the likes in advanced the data is still in icloud
if you set it up to backup to iclouds since you only get 5GB free storage you would likely had paid to get more or used very little storage on your phone then the backup is still in iclouds

Upload Excel data to Sharepoint list VIA infopath form

Hi,
I'll try to explain the process of what I want to do first.
1. In Excel
I have an exceldocument (XLS, XLSX or XLSM) with 4 named columns and a named worksheet saved locally on my computer.
I want to upload this data into preferably a custom list in sharepoint but it needs to run via a infopath template first.
2. In Infopath
The Infopath template will prompt the user to specify values in 2 additional fields.
After giving input to these fields user may browse for the locally stored excel document and upload the document.
In the same infopath template a dynamic array should be visible containing 6 columns (4 from excel + 2 from headerlevel of template) and the amount of rows based on the number of rows from excelsheet.
At the end of template a submit button is found for uploading the entire array into sharepoint custom list.
Is this possible to do at all?
NOTE! End user should not have to save the excelsheet as XML file nor do a XML mapping.
Infopath should, perhaps with help of VBA read excelsheet and transfer data to correct destination in sharepoint on it self.
Looking forward to your reply

Hi Jonas,
You can attach your Excel doucment into InfoPath form and send InfoPath form to a custom web service. Then you can parse the Excel data and combine the Excel data and additional fields into SharePoint list in the customized web service.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

How to auto save output with date added to file name, and email the results?

Hi,
We found a script to capture disk space usage, that automatically places the results into an Excel file. We would like the script to autosave this file to a specific directroy with the date ran as part of teh file name. We would then like these results to
be emailed to us if possible. (also if possible to highlight cell in red that is 5% OR less available disk space would be great)
Here is what we have:
$erroractionpreference = “SilentlyContinue”
$a = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$a.visible = $True
$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)
$c.Cells.Item(1,1) = “Machine Name”
$c.Cells.Item(1,2) = “Drive”
$c.Cells.Item(1,3) = “Total size (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,4) = “Free Space (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,5) = “Free Space (%)”
$c.cells.item(1,6) = "Name "
$d = $c.UsedRange
$d.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
$d.Font.ColorIndex = 11
$d.Font.Bold = $True

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:

http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Imran

Save a data form as a standalone spreadsheet...?

Is it possible for a user to save a 'data form' as a standalone spreadsheet and then insert links into the form from a Master spreadsheet? It appears as thought each time we click Refresh we lose the links. I've tried selecting both the 'Use Excel Formatting' and 'Use Cell Styles' options and also have the 'Preserve Formulas...' option on but haven't had any luck.
The real issue I have has to do with Substitution Variables... the data form has a SubVar for the current month (e.g. NOV) If the user saves the data form as a spreadsheet and then opens it a month later when the SubVar is now DEC the spreadsheet still shows NOV. The user can click the Refresh button which correctly updates the SubVar to DEC, but also clears all the links to the Master spreadsheet.
Any suggestions or ideas from anyone?
Smart View Version: 11.1.2.5.210
Planning Version: 11.1.2.3.500

Have you tried recreating the web form as an ad-hoc retrieve with a static month versus a subvar? That would be my next suggested workaround.

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul
