Script to read data in specific excel sheet

I was wondering whether it was possible to read the data in a specific sheet of a workbook in excel?
I already have one working for reading the file, but was hoping to be able a specific sheet in that file.
With this, is it possible to read the names of the sheets and select the one that you want
Hope you can help

This should illustrate one way of getting data from different sheets:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;">
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
set loopMax to count of worksheets of workbook 1
repeat with sheetNumber from 1 to loopMax
display dialog (value of cell 1 of column 1 of worksheet sheetNumber of workbook 1) as string
end repeat
end tell </pre>
So what I am doing is referencing the sheet by number: e.g. "worksheet 1 of workbook 1" but there are other references you can use such as its name.

Reading data froma an excel

Hi all,
           I want to read data froma an excel sheet.
The code i used to read the data is
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateFileUplaodView.IContextElement.FILE_RESOURCE);
*     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();*
*                    IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();*
*                    if(element.getFileResource()!= null)*
*                      try*
*                            String mimeType = binary.getMimeType().getFileExtension();*
*                            wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File " + binaryType.getFileName() + " has been successfuly uploaded ! ");*
*                      catch(Exception e)*
*                            throw new WDRuntimeException(e);*
*                    else*
*                         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("File could not be uploaded", true);*
*                    // Till here the code remains the same as in File Upload tutorials*
*                    // Now the code for retrieving the values from the Excel sheet*
*                    try*
*                       ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(element.getFileResource());*
*                       Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(bais);*
*                       Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);*
*                       Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);*
*                       Cell a2 = sheet.getCell(0,1);*
*                       wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Value of cell a1 = " + a1.getContents());*
*                       wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Value of cell a2 = " + a2.getContents());*
*                    catch(Exception ex)*
*                      wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(ex.getLocalizedMessage(),true);*
But i am getting error at "binary" in String mimeType = binary.getMimeType().getFileExtension();
and ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(element.getFileResource()); by saying that there is no constructor of
ByteArrayInputStream with Resource as parameter.
Please let me know what might be the issue so that i can solve this.
Thanks and regards,
Chandrashekar.

Hi,
Replace the following code
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(element.getFileResource());*
with
IWDResource resource = element.getFileResource();
       InputStream inputStream = resource.read(false);
       ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(inputStream);

Help! How to read data from an Excel file?

Hi,
I need to read data from an Excel file that may contain more then one table in a sheet. How can I read them?
I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can give me any information.

How to put the data from one excel sheet in another excel sheet

hi ,
I want put the data from one excel sheet in another excel sheet in seq. order Eg: I have one excel sheet in which i have 3 col. Name , Sno. , Email along with data .I want to put data from this sheet to another excel sheet in the following orders of col. Sno,Name, Email .
While loading data in another sheet , i have to perform validation like char field should n't contain numeric values and vice versa .
Let me know on this soon ..
regards
Prashant

Well, you can issue separate queries with the ordering you need from each tab in the spreadhseet. You can open an ODBC connection from a VBA macro, select a sheet, run a query, select another sheet and run another query. As for the validation, you can do this in Oracle via stored procedures or again in VBA code.

How to Export Table Data to a excel sheet using OPENROWSET

Hi Team,
I would like to Export table data to a excel sheet by using "OPENROWSET" command in SQL Server but I am getting the
below error message
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
Please help me on how to export the table data to an excel sheet by using "OPENROWSET" in SQL Server

I know this is old so I assume you've fixed this. However, for anyone else looking at this forum, I'd recommend using a union or a table join.
Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a <where clause>
union
Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b <where clause>
or
use a type of join.
If both table selects return the same number of columns but different data just reference them as a variable like fred, and Ted
Select fred.1, fred.2, fred.3 from (Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a) fred
union
Select Ted.1, Ted.2, Ted.3 from (Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b) Ted
or again some type of join of these two sets
Select * from
(Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a) a
INNER JOIN (Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b) b ON b.1 = a.1
This would give you 6 columns of data a1-3, and b1-3
We don't know from your description what format your spreadsheet is in. These just give you the idea. Think of the sub-selects as a Table. It's just named "fred". Once your select holds all the data you need, then export the data to the spreadsheet. Use
the horsepower of the database before trying to do a multple update of the same spreadsheet.
Does this give you enough to fix what you were trying to do?

You might want to look at the POI project (an open source Jakarta sub-project) that allows you to create/modify/read excel files via Java code. That might be more flexible and easier than what you're currently trying to do.

Error while download the data to an Excel sheet for ECC report from EP

Hi experts,
I had created a report program which will download the data to an Excel sheet using SAP OLE object
For this report i had created a tcode too. The report which i developed is perfectly working fine in SAPGUI. But if i download the data to an Excel sheet for the same report throught SAP EP.I am getting the error that "Error in excel downlaod"
I analyed by putting dubigg point and it throws exception while calling Function module.
The excpetion is " OLE object id not found".
Can any body gives a light on this why i'm not able download the excel in ep?
Thanks,
JB

Hello,
(by the way I came here to ask my question and is my first time visit but...)
The problem is obvious: How do you expect OLE handler can "touch" the local PC Excel through a web browser? I believe that is not possible. That means (at least for me) that I have to create the whole documents before I return them to the user. That is why I use XML Office documents generation or you can try to hack some Export to excel features of ERP reports.

2) split the files after spooling
for instance with split
split -l65000 file.txtor with perl, java, vb or what-so-ever
3) do more than one report by using rownum
spool f1
select empno,ename from (select rownum r,empno,ename from emp order by empno) where r<6 ;
spool off
spool f2
select empno,ename from (select * from (select rownum r,empno,ename from emp order by empno) where r<11) where r>5 ;

Data loggin in excell sheet

hello sir
i want to log analog data in the excell sheet.
the report should be event based i.e if i give start command data should be logged in the excell sheet. please reply me as soon as possible

There is one very simple solution - use the function write to spreadsheet file from the file I/O palette.
Name the file in the path as *.xls and the file will be opened by excel.
Maybe this simple example clearifies it a little.
