Opinion on excel spreadsheet data

i was wondering what the best route would be if somebody
where to make changes to their excel document and have the website
update to that information. does that excel file also need to run
through the database?
thanks!

If you want to use data from an excel file to update records
in a database table you may wish to use your database's tool, for
example Microsoft SQL Server 2005's Integraton Services.
If your database server does not provide such tools you might
look at Apache POI.

Ben Nadel's blog has several articles on POI:

Need to Merge Excel Spreadsheet data with Word Disposition Sheet

I work for a Medical Devices manufacturer, and in order to keep track of our failures, we enter data into an Excel Spreadsheet and then print out a Disposition form containing similar information, which then gets attached to the Device folder. I would like
a way to cut down the time, by entering the info only once (Via Word, Excel, Access), and having specific info copied to a new field in the existing Spreadsheet and a new Word Document. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to enter the info with one of the Excel/Word/Access, the similar info will auto fill to the other Office documents. If it is correct, your required need some macro via VBA code. If you have further
question about coding, I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
If I misunderstanding something, please feel free let us know. I'll appreciate that you explain the requested more clarity.

Excel Spreadsheet as Data Source & Copying that Data to an Existing SharePoint List

Hello,
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I get daily and cut and paste into an existing SharePoint list. Is there a way to make that Excel spreadsheet a data source and copy the data to an existing SharePoint list with less manual involvement?
Tools at my disposal include: SharePoint 2010 Designer, InfoPath, and Access.
I thought there might be a REST method I could use via InfoPath but I'm not aware of any offhand.
Goal is to have a method to upload/overwrite an Excel file (stored in a SharePoint library), every day, and then automate the process of copy it to a SharePoint list (actually overwriting the old data in the SharePoint list).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We can create a console application and use C# code to read the data from the Excel file and using SharePoint .Net Client Object Model to add the data into a SharePoint list, then create a windows job to execute the console application.

How do I show/refresh data from an Access Web App in an Excel spreadsheet saved in a Document Library on Sharepoint 2013 online

I have an Access 2013 Web App in my Sharepoint 2013 online website. It contains a query to report on its data (several, actually, but let's keep it simple). I want to connect an Excel spreadsheet to the query, visualise the data in pivot tables/graphs/whatever,
save the spreadsheet in a Document Library, and let other team site Sharepoint users open the spreadsheet (preferably in Excel online, but with Excel client if it has to be) and see/copy the data, refreshed with the latest information from the Access Web App.
Simple, surely!
The way I'm doing it at the moment is to create an ODC file to connect to the cloud-based Access 2013 database, save that ODC in a Data Connection Library in the SP site, and use the saved ODC file as data source in the Excel spreadsheet. This works and
successfully keeps everything 'in the cloud' but I can't get it to refresh in Excel Online, and if I open the spreadsheet in Excel Client I have to enter the database password every time to refresh it. I don't really want to issue this password to everyone
who might want to view the data. There must be a better way than this ODC method, I suspect.
Googlings on this have led down various blind alleys - Excel Services, PowerPivots, Web Parts - but I'm stuck on which to follow through. Please, someone, point me to an article/book/website that explains how to do this step-by-step in simple language..
thanks
Jonathan

I don't see any quick way of achieving it - at least there's no such functionality exists in SharePoint. All you can do, develop an event receiver that will update the fields in the list item once the excel file is added/updated. You can use OpenXml API
to manipulate the excel file.

How do I generate a data merge in InDesign from an excel spreadsheet which includes a barcode

Can you please advise if the following process is possible within InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).
We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The data merge is for several thousand records.
We have a customer-supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, one of which is a number that ultimately needs to print as a barcode when we make the data merge in InDesign.
As you would expect, the conventional six fields data merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the barcode print correctly within the data merge.
We have investigated several possible solutions without success.
Some solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel to convert the number into a barcode whilst still in the spreadsheet - but this doesn't come across correctly when we import the CSV file into the InDesign data merge.
We have investigated certain third party software applications but none provide the full solution we require. Some, for example, appear to create the barcode within the Excel spreadsheet but don't produce the barcode correctly when we data merge in InDesign; and some will allow us to create a one-off barcode within InDesign but have no automated way of retrieving the thousands of Excel numbers and turning them into barcodes.
We have also come across possible 'font' solutions but have had no success with these either.
For a previous job we needed to produce we outsourced to a specialist mailing company, who assured us they produced the whole job (very quickly) within InDesign. They, understandably, won't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they produced the job for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.
Can you please advise?

HI MIKE
Thanks again for your reply and your help with this.
I've downloaded the barcode font from the link you supplied.
I've tried three tests - and seem much closer to getting what we need. But I've come up against a couple of issues.
TEST 1 - almost just to see if the downloaded font worked, I simply data merged our source csv file and applied the downloaded barcode font to the serial number in ID. Probably unsurprisingly, this produced a perfectly printed barcode - that wouldn't scan.
TEST 2 - I manually added asterisks before and after the serial number in the first couple of fields and then tried the same process as TEST 1. It produced a perfectly printed barcode which this time DID scan correctly - but obviously the barcode had asterisks on it which I don't want. I just want the serial number. And with thousands of serial numbers we need the addition of the asterisks to happen automatically (which is where your text editor process seems the perfect solution, if we could get that to work).
TEST 3 - Noting your comments about using parenthesis around the serial number, I followed your example of (123456). But Excel won't let me type a parenthesis. It lets me type the parenthesis but then instantly substitutes it with a - (hyphen) before the number in the actual serial number cell and no character at all after the number.
If you have any suggestions or solutions for any of the above they'd be gratefully received! Thanks again for all your help with this.
Kind regards
Rob

Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible. Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form. I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

Hi,
You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
Hope that helps,
Niall

I need to move the data from several cells in an excel spreadsheet to another computer's excel spreadsheet.

I have a data aquisition program on computer #1(not labview) that writes to an excel spread sheet and I would like to have a row of data transfered to another excel spreadsheet running labview(computer #2)on the same network. I would like to make this transfer of data either over the network or some other method to link these two computers (they are two feet apart). I'm not sure that datasocket would help , as it seems that the data to be moved must be written for datasocket in labview. My other alternative is to write drivers for the device that provides the data for computer #1. This is a new one for me as the user doesn't want to give up the non-labview program on #1.
Solved!

I would write a LabVIEW VI to read the Excel file(s) on computer n°1 and publish the data in a shared variable over the network.

Importing data from Excel Spreadsheet into SOP

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me where I can find instructions on how to import data into SOP form an Excel spreadsheet. I know there is a used exit MCP20001 EXIT_SAPMMCP6_001 but I don't see a transaction to execute this import exit from. Please help/clarify.
Thank you
I will award points to all who respond with useful information on importing info into SOP

Dear,
Please note the info structure os not different for different versions. ALl inactive versions are also storead in the same info struture.
The info structure will be different only of the planning type is different. For standard SOP the info stucture is S076.
You could also create your own info structures for the planning types you have created using flexible planning.
For copying within the same info structures use transaction MC78. Here select the inactive version in the source and select the active version in the target. The copy with the button given for this.
Within the MC87 copying is only possible between different info structures.
Hope this helps your understanding.

Exporting data in tables to an Excel spreadsheet?

Is there a script or another way to export or save a documents tables (multiple tables over several pages) to an excel spreadsheet? I have found a solution which involves exporting each spread as a html file which i can then open straight in excel but this is still quite long winded and i can only seem to do this a spread at a time. As the job I am working on involves many pages this is taking too long. Surely there must be a script which can automate this in some way. I am fairly new to scripting so any help will be grateful. I have searched in scripting but nothing has really come close to what i am trying to achieve. Indesign CS5.5 user.

Thanks for the quick response. I thought it was an applescript because of the word "applescript" within it. Now I'm running it as a jsx. However in my real document with nothing selected, it selects only one table on page 3 to export. I created a new test document with three tables in separate text boxes on one page, and the script only exports the first one. I put the three tables in one big text box (one story), and still it only exports the first one. I tried selecting the second table in the story and ran the script again, but it still just exported the first table.
What I am hoping for is a script that will export every table to a single excel spreadsheet. Here is an example of the dummy tables with the legend in the first column and the data in the second column. I don't mind if the script exports the legend every time; I can repmove those columns in the excel file.

Exporting the datas from jsp to excel spreadsheet

Hi:
I would like to know how to publish the datas from a jsp page to an excel spreadsheet . Is there ay software I've to use or an API.
and how to use it.
Would appreciate the replies.
Thanks.

OK. Lets say you query a DB and get back a results set with 2 rows from a DB table where each row has 4 columns (all columns are string types). Here is some code that should give you the idea, note I didn't compile it so you'll have to work out the bugs.
Example data:
col1      col2       col3       col4
a1           a2          a3          a4
b1            b2          b3          b4
    public void printFile(ResultSet rs, File file) throws Exception {
        FileWriter fout = null;
        int index;
        final String DELIM = "\t"; // tab delimiter, use the character you prefer
        final String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator", "\n")
        try {
            fout = new FileWriter(file);
            while (rs.next()) {
                  index = 1;
                  fout.write(rs.getString(index++) + DELIM + rs.getString(index++) + DELIM
                                   rs.getString(index++) + DELIM +rs.getString(index++) + NL);
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        } finally {
            try { fout.close(); } catch (Exception e) {} // do nothing

Extracting data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

Hi,
I am currently developing an application that requires to extract data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Is that possible to archieve it?
If it is possible,your precious guidience will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

There are several approaches.
1) Export the data from the Excell in "CSV" format, which is simple enough to read as an ordinary text file.
2) Use the open source POI package, which reads and writes XSL files (amongst other popular formats).
3) Use the JDBC/ODBC bridge and the Windows ODBC driver which allows and Excell file to be treated as a database. (More details in above reference).
4) Use another open source package to connect to Excell via the COM+ interface, and access data therein.
Personally I favour the POI package.

Hi smercurio_fc
Hi Smercurio_fc,
Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate your help.
However, I would like to point out that after making numerous searches, I could not get any VI or thread working for my case. Most of the files complain regarding any of their missing sub-VI(s).
I myself don't understand the problem. I have even re-installed the application to shoot any of the possible installation errors. I m not a spammer.
I'll try to do what you have suggested in the former part of your reply.
