'Save As' operation on an excel file (Urgent) ?

Hi All,
I have an excel file in my project directory. I want to save or make a copy of that excel file in the directory with a different name i.e. i want to do 'Save As' operation on it whenever user clicks some button. Thanks in advance
Best Regards.
Umer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you only want to save a file with a new name, in the button callback you can:
(Optional) Use FileSelectPopup to let the user choose the file to operate on. Function will return the complete pathname of the file in a string variable
Use SplitPath to extract the file name and change it accordingly with standard string functions
Use MakePathname to rebuild the complete file pathname in a new string variable
Use CopyFile to operate the copy
All this does not open the file to examine its content.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

  • Save as dialog window for excel file save ....

    hi!
    i have a jsp that displays all the report names to the clients and when clicked on the report downloads an excel file and saves to the client machine.this is accomplished by calling a servlet that sets the content type as "application/octet-stream" and setting the header as "setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myExcel.xls")
    and writing the bytes to the excel file.works just perfect.
    now if you open the excel file and make changes to it and try to save it with a different name by clicking 'save as' option from file menu, the 'save as file type' by default shows "text" instead of excel worksheet.
    have you guys come across this problem anytime....
    kindly let me know you have any suggestions ..
    thanks in advance,
    /rahul

    one more point:
    the save as list box displays "myExcel.xls"(with quotes) where it should have displayed simply myExcel.

  • Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file.  I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with.  I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time.  Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal. 
    So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

    Hi
    1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
    2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
    3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
    4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
    5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
    6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
    So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
    Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
    OR
    1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
    2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
    3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
    4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
    5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
    Else  you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
    While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.

  • 1 Analog Input using a DAQ card and would like to save the data into an excel file

    As you may have realized, I am very new at using Labview 6.1. I have an analog voltage input that I would like to save in an Excel file as a 2D array (time, voltage). I was wondering if anyone knew a very simple way of doing this and could help me out. Thanks

    There are a couple example program online and in LabVIEW that I think you’ll find useful. You might want to consider just writing out a tab-delimited spreadsheet file that Excel can read rather than writing it out to Excel directly as this requires learning ActiveX and Microsoft’s Common Object Model.
    In LabVIEW, see the Write to Text File.vi in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\file\smplfile.llb. Writes simulated, timestamped data to a text file in ASCII format that can be read by spreadsheet applications.
    Online, you can look at:
    Stream Scaled Data (Voltages) to a Spreadsheet File
    Chart Analog Data from File, Using the Cont Acq to Spreadsheet.vi Example
    Hope this helps. Best of luck!

  • Why can I not save my changes to an Excel file in Numbers?

    I opened an Excel file in Numbers and made some modifications.  Now, trying to save it to a numbers file, I get the message, "The file 'filename.numbers' couldn't be opened.  How can I save this file?

    oddly, i needed to restart my computer for another issue (i could not hear any sound no matter what i did).  luckily, apple has had the insight to include automatic recovery of files and i was able to re-open these applications and have my unsaved files intact.  even more strangely, i was able to save my file with the original name.
    as a pc & windows convert, this whole thing was a little disconcerting.  perhaps i am just used to that environment, but i have never had something like this happen there.  (though perhaps i have had other things... )
    thanks for the attempts to help!

  • When I save a PDF as an Excel File, all of the data in the PDF is put into one column (AdobeXI)

    Hi, thanks for taking the time...
    I'm running a machine with Windows 7, Office 2010, and Acrobat XI.  When I save a specific PDF as an Excel workbook, all of the data in the original PDF is sorted correctly in four columns.  When the same task is performed on this file on another user's machine, all of the data is sorted into one column.  The user has the same versions of Windows, Office, and Acrobat.  I've attempted the "Repair installation" option but the problem persists.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again for helping,

  • How to save data into an excel file ?

    The attached zip file contains several VI's to read and write directly to Excel using ActiveX. There are several example VI showing how to use everything. This set is saved in LabVIEW 6.0.2.
    I suggest you unzip these to your user.lib directory so you'll be able to easily access them from the functions palette.
    I have not actually used these, but others that have say they have worked well for them.
    Good Luck

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • How to continuous data acquisition and save to an excel file using vc++

    Hi,
    I’m trying to build an MFC application with MSVC++6, where I would continuously acquire
    samples from 2 channels of a USB-6289. I’m using the DAQmx C functions.  I use the following codes to continuously get data:
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0,Dev1/ai1","",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,-10.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,1000,-1,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,2000,&read,NULL));
            DAQmxErrChk
    (DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent(taskHandle,DAQmx_Val_Acquired_Into_Buffer,1000,0,EveryNCallback,NULL));
            DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxRegisterDoneEvent(taskHandle,0,DoneCallback,NULL));

    I have two questions:
    1. how to save the data into an excel file? Can anyone show me some sample codes please?
    2.Are
    the data acquired from the two channels simultaneously? If I set the
    starting time at 0, sample frequency 1khz, can I directly multiply the
    sample number by 0.001 to calculate time (as shown below)?
    Time    channel1  channel2
    0.001    d11           d21
    0.002    d12           d22
    Thank you!
