Linking to Excel cells

I am running Dreamweaver 8.0.2 and would like to create a
link on a page to a specific cell in an Excel worksheet. (All files
are in the same folder.) I have tried entering the code "Name of
Worksheet.xls#Nameoftab!X25", but the link just opens the entire
worksheet. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this to
work?

Can't happen. At least not that I know....

Field link to excel cell

I am using adobe acrobat 5.0. Is there a way to link the fields in an excel cell?

No, but you could write a little applescript to open the spreadsheet and go to a cell, save the script as an application, and put a link to it in the url field of an event.

How do I make dynamic links to Excel cells, not sheets?

Help! I thought I'd found the perfect way to link an in-progress Excel spreadsheet to an in-progress InDesign file. That allowed the Product Management group to do content, and the graphic group to do layout simultaneously. After several days of layout, someone changed the number of rows in the spreadsheet, and all the cell links to InDesign are broken. I have pages and pages already done, and the cells are filling with the entire spreadsheet, and not tracking to the moved cells. HELP!

Bob:
Well, you had my heart beating fast for a minute, hoping it was that simple. I tested in .xls, and it does permit the link back to a unique cell, instead of the whole sheet, but it doesn't track cell content that's moved to a new row/column position in the sheet. I think I'm out of luck -- and headed for a few beers.
Thanks.

Help needed with referencing single Excel cells and formatting resulting text

In InDesign CS5 I am putting together a 20pp catalogue of about 200 products. The plan is to have the product information, SKU code, quantity etc fixed, but have the prices (there are two i.e. pack price and individual price) being linked to an Excel spreadsheet. This is so that the prices can be updated in the Excel file and the InDesign file will pull the new prices through. In case you are wondering why I don't pull the whole set of information through, this is because there are a lot of copywriting changes done to the information once it's in InDesign - it's only going to be the prices that will be updated.
I am planning on having two single cell tables in their own text frame, duly formatted with cell style, table style and paragraph style for the two price variables. This I am then going to have to repeat 200 times making sure I link to the next row down in Excel. This is going to be a hideous task but I see know way of modifying the cell in InDesign to point it to the next row in Excel. That's my first problem.
My second problem is this. In the Excel sheet, the prices are formatted as UK currency and are therefore like this...
£2.00
£0.40
£1.43
£9.99
£0.99
£0.09
What I will require is once I import that data (and refresh the data via a newly saved Excel file) is that the prices end up like this...
£2.00
40p
£1.43
£9.99
99p
9p
So if the value is lower than £1.00 it needs a trailing 'p' added and the leading zero and '£' sign stripped off. If the value is lower than £0.10 it also needs the zero after the decimal point stripping off.
Then formatting wise, the '£' sign needs to be superscripted and the same for the 'p'. This I am assuming could be done via GREP?
In summary, can anyone help with the first task of referecing the Excel cells on a cell by cell basis, given that it is the same cell column each time, but the next row down, and also point me in the right direction of the price formattting issues.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I would do this:
Create on line with the formatting.
Export as InDesign tagged text (TXT)
Read out these tags
In Excel exists a function to connect text from several cells and predfined text, there connect the content from cells with the paragraph styling tags. Do it in a seperate sheet. (Better would be to use a database like Access, there you can link your Excel sheet).
Export this sheet as txt file
Place this sheet as tagged text (there is an option in one of the sialog boxes).
In preferences < file handling you can specify that Tablecalculation Sheets and text is not embedded but linked, turn it on.

Read excel cell from pdf

Hello
I would like to link a pdf file to an excel file so that I can set some anchor points in the pdf file that will allow the pdf to change the value of these anchor points whenever the cells' values in excel change.
Is there any way or any software to do this?
Thanks

hi,
well you are saying that your excel file contains the name of the file which is stored at somewhere in your root directory structure?..........if is it so then do you want to store the name of the file which is specified in the excel cell, to oracle database as BLOB or CLOB or you want to read the actual content available in the doc or excel file and then store it to oracle database? please verify........
this is possible using poi.....visit the apache's website for more information on POI api and downloads.......
thanks

How do I duplicate a sheet while also linking the corresponding cell values?

How do I duplicate a sheet while also linking the corresponding cell values?
I have a page that I want to duplicate, then add to the duplicated spreadsheet, while having the original cells linked so they are updated as I update the original sheet. I've found tutorials on how to do this on excel, but I'm having trouble doing so on Numbers.

Hi Millie,
You wrote:
"My recipe sheets include two tables. The first calculates the cost per item, the second table takes the original recipe and calculates along with the sales estimates. The latter of these tables are all the same format, so in each one column A lists the ingredient name, column D is the amount needed per week (column E is the unit - oz, pound, etc). Could I then generate a search for "flour" etc. within column A of each of these tables? Currently they are all named the "estimated sales" but I could change that."
Shouldn't need to change the table name, unless the aim is to shorten the formula as written. That's assuming each sheet is named with the item being baked.
With the same name for all these tables, the cell or range references to cells on these tables will be Recipe (sheet) name::estimated sales::cell or range ref
With the recipe name used as the Table name (and that name being unique to the document) the sheet name may be omitted from the cell/range address: Recipe name::cell or range ref

How to export long formatted text from SAP to an excel Cell

I have created an object(ZMM_TXT_PD) and an ID(Y01) using se75 transaction.
With a Z program a store some lines in STXH table with object ZMM_TXT_PD and ID Y01.
These texts are very long and formmated.
Now I need another Z program in order to download all the stored texts in an excel file.
I have a program which is able to download an internal table to an excel. The problem is that
it only works with short texts. How could I download a long text that I get using READ_TEXT function
into an excel cell?
READ_TEXT returns an internal table like this:
i_tline TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline.
Thanks in advance.

Script to break external links in Excel?

The menu item "Links ..." in menu "Edit" is disabled.
Is this the same thing with your workbook ?
If yes and you still have links:
If you copy the formula of a link and paste it into the formula of a cell, it will not be considered as a link object.
Excel Link is an inserted object, or by copy/paste a link object, you can change the range in the formula, the range is changed but the object is always a link.

Dimension Overrride with Two properties referencing Excel Cells

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a Dimension override as the one below. It works fine. I can reference two properties and one of them is an Excel cell:
=EPMDimensionOverride(D31;"D_PO";"P_ALOC_NR=03 AND P_CTRY="&D3)
However, I would like to add some flexibility to the first property, too. I would like to also reference it to another Excel cell instead of hardcoding the value 03. I've been trying several commands but nothing seems to work.
Any clue? BPC NW 10.0 Add-in SP17
Thanks,
Alberto Sabate

I think the issue was due to leading zero of the property value P_ALOC_NR=03
Try "P_ALOC_NR=""03"" AND...
Or "P_ALOC_NR='03' AND...
Ups, sorry, the linked cell has to be formatted as text to accept 03 without conversion.

Convert contents of a formatted excel cell to HTML format

Hi All,
Background: I am writing a script that uploads some test cases written in excel into Quality Center. For those who are familiar with the QC Excel Addin, this script would do a pretty similar job except for reducing
the steps involved. I'm using Office 2007 running on Win 7 Pro.
Need: I have a situation where the contents of a formatted excel cell need to be converted to HTML tags representing the same formattin in the excel cell. For example a cell containg the text: "Verify
if help topics in Macro section are
hyperlinked" should be converted to
<html>Verify if help topics in Macro section are hyperlinked</html>
Question: Is there an inbuilt function in Excel/VBAn accomplish this? Or is a macro required? Any other ideas to accomplish this?
Note: Whatever used for converting (an inbuilt function or a macro) should support new line characters and colors.
Any help or redirection to solutions is appreciated.
Thanks, John.
--Thanks, John Jacob Tharakan

Here is the function I wrote. This handles the conversion character by character.

How to create a link between 2 cells in different spreadsheets?

when using numbers on MacBook Pro/IOS X - how to create a link between 2 cells in different spreadsheets?

In the cell where you want the duplicate data to appear from another sheet/table do the following:
type the equal sign ("=") then click the cell you in the sheet table while contents you want to appear in the cell where you just typed the equal sign"
it reads "The cell I click equals the result of the formula or the contents of the next cell I click"

Can't link to a cell in another sheet at certain point

Hello,
this is the first time I use the support communities.
I have a continuing promblem with numbers ( v. 2.3). I'm working on a projekt for my univerity and are quite familiar with number. But at a certain point it get's impossible to link to another cell on a different sheet! This works fine until a certain point (which I actually don't know).....
I do the same stuff which I did very often before but it dosent work....
1. I click on the cell I want to have the linked value in it
2. I press = to start linking.
3. I go to the cell i want to take the data from (in another sheet).
4. The Box becomes white with the name and position of the source cell in it. But when I klick enter it dosn't work....
I really don't have an idea what this could be... It worke fine in the same way before a few hundered times... Is there any limitation of link's between the single sheets or something?
I'm very glad for any help in this issue
Regards,
Gregor

On your last screenshot, you had moved off of the cell you were working on. The resulting formula/reference was not shown.
Becasue it is not in English, it is hard for me to tell for sure what might be going on. The reference in your third screnshot looked odd to me. In English it would be one of the following forms when referencing a cell on a different sheet:
Sheet name::Table Name::Cell address
Table Name::Cell Address
or, if "use header names as cell addresses" is on
Sheet name::Table name::column name row name
Table name:: column name row name
column name row name
The reference shown in your third screenshot doesn't seem to fit that pattern
I am assuming if you look at your resulting formula, the cell reference is not in a colored oval, it looks like plain text.
I've seen header names get misinterpreted by Numbers, like it can't figure them out and make a reference from them. If you are using header names as cell references, changing the names can fix it. Turning off that feature might also fix it. I don't use that feature usually; it often makes my formulas too long and complicated.
I have not seen a similiar problem with table and sheet names but you could try changing them to see if it helps.
Sometimes Numbers simply has a problem with a reference and you have to start over with the formula and it will work the next time. I don't know why, it just happens sometimes.
