OpenWebFile macro

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to open a file directly from the server using something like OpenWebFile macro? I know this is possible through the Custom Menus but I want to build something simple for the top executives. I do not expect them to open the custom menu file via custom menu manager.
In other words, I want to create a simple index file which will be saved on their desktops. This file will list all the links or macros which will open each of the listed files directly from the server folder (Again I know EVHOT is another option but the issue is the number of files on HotAnalysis folder is increasing making the initial log-on process slower & slower)
Any inputs would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Amit

Thanks for your input. I tried EVMNU but what I observed is it opens the files from the local drive & not the server. If the file is not saved on the local folder then this function does not work.
I looked at the BPC help but it is was not helpful. It says:
OPENFILE u2014 Opens a workbook. Defaults to the u2026/Webfolders/<appset>/<app>/eExcel directory, unless a full path is defined.
If I understood this correctly, it suggests that this function defaults to the folders on the server, but it is not the case. It recognises the folders & files only if they exist on the local drive. I tried to specify full server address like follows but it did not work either:
EvMNU("OPENFILE","test", B10). I tried following formulas in Cell B10:
=EVSVR()&"/Webfolders/"&EVAST()&"/"&EVAPP()&"/eExcel/REPORTS/Report Index/test.xlt".. It did not work. Then I tried
=EVSVR()&"/osoft/Webfolders/"&EVAST()&"/"&EVAPP()&"/eExcel/REPORTS/Report Index/test.xlt".. It did not work. Then I tried
=EVSVR()&"/"&EVAST()&"/"&EVAPP()&"/eExcel/REPORTS/Report Index/test.xlt".. It did not work.
Not sure how to get this working. Any further input is appreciated!
Thanks

  • Macro to open Team folder reports

    Has anyone figured out how to open a (server) report located in a Team folder other than company? I've tried the OPENWEBFILE macro, but this appears to only work within the Company team folder.
    Unfortunately, I can't use native VB to open because IT is blocking access to the webfolders...so I must use outlooksoft's "wrapper" to get at the files.
    My goal is to create a workbook containing links to all reports for all teams. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

    Have you tried using BPC menus, BPC Web, or even BPF’s. Each of these can be used to access templates.
    From the user guides;
    WEB
    Web is a zero footprint client that allows you to publish reports and other documents and
    other unstructured documents, create and analyze live reports, view KPIs on a dashboard, and perform
    predictive analysis.
    Menus
    After creating custom menus in OutlookSoft for Excel, you can define security for them and add them to
    the custom menu list in the OutlookSoft for Excel action pane. Once they are added to the list, they are
    available to the appropriate users for selection in the action pane upon opening OutlookSoft for Excel.
    There are two types of custom menus: a default custom menu and a team custom menu. Users will see
    one type or the other, depending on their team affiliation and the custom menu setup. The default custom
    menu is defined on the EV_DEFAULT tab on the custom menu workbook. If users are not part of a team,
    they will only be able to access the default custom menu.
    You can define one or more team custom menus that are appropriate to specific OutlookSoft

  • Macro to open and save as a value in a cell

    How can I create a macro (I've named it Test) that will:
    1.bring up the open dialogue box (to allow the user to choose a file)
    2.save the file, with the file name determined by the text in cell A3 in .xlsx format
    I have two pieces code that seem to work individually, but not together:
    Dim strFileName As String
    strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename
    If strFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub
    MsgBox strFileName
    ThisFile = Range("A3").Value
     ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFile
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi
    With very little change, this works for me. I just declared your last variable. (thisFile)
    Sub test()
        Dim strFileName As String, thisFile As String
        strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename
        If strFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub

  • Memory usage of excel stays high after Macro is executed and excel crashes after trying to close it

    Hi,
    I'm trying to resolve an issue with an excel based tool. The macros retrieve data from an Oracle database and do calculations with the data. They also open and write into files in the same directory. The macros all run and finish the calculations. I can
    continue to use and modify the sheet. I can also close the workbook, however excel memory usage I see in the windows Task manager stays elevated.If I  close Excel it says: Excel stopped working and then it tries to recover information...
    I assume something in the macro did not finish properly and memory was not released. I would like to check what is still open (connection, stream or any other object) when I close the workbook I would like to have a list of all still used memory. Is there
    a possibility to do so.

  • Help needed in Macro

    Hello Experts,
    I am creating a macro, where the requirement is; user would select few columns of a KF & hit on a macro.
    The values in the KF should get multiplied by 2.
    Any clue how should I add ( *2) functionality in operation / function ?. Any other suggestion is welcomed.
    Please help
    Regards
    Rahul Chitte

    Hi Rahul,
    You can set the macro to run for few period.
    1)  In the step of the macro, select the period you want to run
    2) Within the step, Results row (Key figure row 'XXX") = Key figure row 'XXX" * 2 (remember to maintain a space between * and 2)
    3) Check the macro for any error, which would help you for any inconsistencies
    4) activate the macro to test your requirement.
    hope this would solve your requirment.

  • Word templates with Macros

    Dear all,
    I have a couple of Word templates (in document libraries) that should have the filename and page count on the footer of the front page. It seams there is an issue with Word that these do not automatically update (MS kb 832897).
    I am using word 2010, 64 bits.
    This is solved with a Macro.
    When placing the word with macro template in SharePoint, SP blocks it and the macros are not ran.
    Any one with experience on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Gonçalo

    It is not possible to run a macro in SharePoint after the document has been uploaded. 
    You can replicate this scenario by creating a SPItemEventReceiver which will run customized code on ItemAdded in your document library.

  • Can I launch a Macro from an IF statement in a Bus. Rule?

    I am trying to write IF logic in a business rule to run a macro based on a Planning form-driven variable. However, my rule will not validate. For example:
    IF([variable] == 'Budget')
    %MYBUDGETMACRO(parm1, parm2, parm3);
    ELSE
    %MYOTHERMACRO (parm1, parm2, parm3);
    ENDIF
    Is it possible to do this? Thank you -

    I wrote this used-to-make-sense-but-now-just-tests-a-concept code (coming to a blog post soon, oooh, I know you can hardly wait): <--Sarcasm
    FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])
         /*     Call macro to do focused Aggregation     */
         "Local"
              IF(@ISMBR("Local"))
                   "Local" = #Missing ;
              ENDIF
    ENDFIX /*     FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])     */And it validated just fine.
    So I created a one line macro that has this code:
    "Local" = Missing ;And then called it in an IF statement:
    FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])
         /*     Call macro to do focused Aggregation     */
         "Local"
              IF(@ISMBR("Local"))
                   %mcrConsHBRLocalEqualsMissing()
              ENDIF
    ENDFIX /*     FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])     */HBR won't even let me validate it but throws an:
    Encountered " <MACRO> "%
    mcrConsHBREqualsMissing "" at line 19, column
    35
    blah
    blah
    blah
    If I get rid of the IF statement and just do this:
    FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])
         /*     Call macro to do focused Aggregation     */
         "Local"
              %mcrConsHBRLocalEqualsMissing()
    ENDFIX /*     FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])     */It still fails.
    So then I wrote this:
    FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])
         /*     Call macro to do focused Aggregation     */
         %mcrConsHBRLocalEqualsMissing()
    ENDFIX /*     FIX("Local", [varGlblYear], [varGlblScenario], [varGlblVersion])     */Sucess!!! Boil in bag! (That's a Network54 joke, btw.)
    So the issue isn't the IF statement, it's the calc block. You cannot insert macros into calc block statements. And since a calc block statement is required for using IF, a macro can't be used within an IF.

  • Urgent help needed on Macros

    Hi APO Gurus...
    I want to know how to use Drill_Up and Drill_ Down macros in batch jobs. they work beautifully in interactive mode, but when processed in batch jobs they drill up only for the particular CVC's at the aggregated level specified in the job. We are  selecting all the characteristics in the aggregation level while creating the job. Then we want to drill up on particular characteristic. We are using a collective macro with first macto for drill up and second macro for calculations at the aggregated level. It works fine in interactive mode but drill_up doesnt seem to work in batch jobs.
    Help needed

    Hi,
    You should not be using DRILL_UP and DRILL_DOWN functions in background jobs. Whatever processing you need to do after DRILL_UP should be a separate macro and that should be executed in background at the desired aggregation level (set for the job).
    There is no point in using a collective macro with a DRILL_DOWN, processing and DRILL_UP steps in background job.

    Hi,
    Macros offer a powerful and flexible way to extend the features of MS Excel. You can either create a macro using VB code or Record a macro. Use Alt+F11 for creating macro using VB code.
    You can refer to Microsoft help site or this link for more details:
    http://www.taltech.com/support/sw_tricks/exmacros.htm
    User-exits are empty subroutines that SAP Developers have provided for you.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is a modification.Customer exits are nothing but a include in customer name space will be provided in the function module which starts with CALL CUSTOMER.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is an enhancement.
    look into following links for procedure to find and use user-exits transaction for finding user-exits is 'SMOD'

  • EXCEL spreadsheet with MACROS

    WILL NUMBERS 2009 SUPPORT AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET WITH EMBEDDED MACROS?

    Looks like Excel will get macros back. This is from Wikipedia:
    Microsoft has announced that the Mac OS X version will also be released in 2010. Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac will include more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. An all-new version of Outlook with full Exchange support will return to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and replace Entourage[47], and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA, aka "macro" support) will return after being dropped in Office 2008[48][49]. There is no public beta for the Mac version,[50] however, a copy of Beta 2 (Build 14.0.0.100326) has been circulated among many Mac file sharing websites. [51]

    Hi,
    As far as I known, the macro/Active X control can be used well with both of the Office 2013 and Office 365.
    Would you like to share us a sample file that created in Office 2013? I'd like to test it. You can send it via Email ([email protected]).
    If you have any update, please feel free let us know.
    ===========
    Update:
    I have received your mail and
    attachment. Then, I tested it, I found the probably reason.
    You were using ActiveX controls in the sample file, and them displayed 4 tabs in Format control dialog box. Next, you created a new Form control, it displayed 7 tabs.
    You were using the two type of controls. ActiveX controls and Form controls
    are different.
    Form controls
    Form controls are the original controls that are compatible with earlier versions of Excel, starting with Excel version 5.0. Form controls are also designed for use on XLM macro sheets.
    ActiveX controls
    ActiveX controls can be used on worksheet forms, with or without the use of VBA code, and on VBA UserForms. In general, use ActiveX controls when you need more flexible design requirements than those provided by Form controls. ActiveX controls have extensive
    properties that you can use to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics.

    Hope it's helpful.
