Shared Excel spreadsheet "missing data"

We are currently working in a mixed enviornment Excel 2003 and 2007. Files are saved as XLS so all can use the files. The workbooks are shared. Multiple people can be accessing these files at the same time. We will be in this mixed
enviornment for the next 3 weeks than all will be moved to the 2007 platform. My current problem is:
When person A opens shared file X, enters data and saves and closes the file. Person B opens shared file X and there is no data from person A.
Are there settings on either 2003 or 2007 that will keep this from happening?

Hi,
Thank you for using Excel IT Pro Discussions forum.
When we share an Excel workbook, click the
Review tab, in the Changes groups, click
Share Workbook. Then, in the Advanced tab, under
update changes, we can choose either of the following:
When file is saved
Automatically every xx minutes
Which one did you choose?
Also, I suggest turn on track changes to better see the changes others made.
For more information about how to share an Excel workbook, you can also refer to this article:

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.

Export to spreadsheet - Excel cells missing data

We have an ApEx report that when wildcards are used for 3 parameters the report renders data to the browser as expected, but when the report is exported to spreadsheet the last 3 cells on the worksheet are missing data. However, if the parameters are set with specific data the report exports with all data. Anybody any ideas what might cause this to happen?
We are running Excel 2007, ApEx 3.2 and Oracle 9i

I am not able to reproduce the issue. Make sure you are using SP1:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads [original link is broken]
If that does not help, define "displaced". A pic may be worth a 1000 words :).

Update Open Shared Excel spreadsheet from SSIS using SQL task

I propose to call a SSIS package from excel and update a single cell in a sheet. The spreadsheet is shared so it can be referenced by SSIS even though it is open.
The update succeeds but the problem is the cell is not updated unless the spreadsheet is closed.
any suggestions? workarounds?
Overview: I need to have a button that when clicked executes a ssis package, that does some assorted magic, and finally updates a cell so that another sheet includes the updated cell in a formula.
Thanks is advance.
Susan

Susan,
so, did you already create the solution?
Why SSIS?
I expect this not to work as the Excel Destination will require exclusive rights to the already open Excel worksheet
I suggest you use data query from Excel or a macro instead. This solution does not look right.

ALV Excel view missing data on last row

Hi all,
I'm having a bug using ALV report.
I've created a report using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" FM with the standard user command "USER_COMMAND".
In this menu, there is the bouton "Microsoft Excel" (CtrlShiftF7) that allows to switch the ALV to an excel view.
My report has 21 columns.
If I'm displaying 38 rows, the excel view is fine.
But if I'm displaying 39 rows, the last 5 cells are empty...
Does somebody has any idea of what could be the reason ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Andreas,
I didn't apply the note you mentionned because it was already done on my system.
But I've found another one that was related to "your" note and it fix my issue.
The note is 1115435.
Thanks for your help.

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!

Writing and Retrieving data from an Excel spreadsheet

Hi all
I am working on some battery chargers and need to record the data from my DAQ to an Excel Spreadsheet. How do i do that?
I don't wanna purchase the Office toolkit from Labview!
Please Help!
RJ

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.

RJ

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

SSRS 2008 R2 - Missing Data when Exporting to Excel or CSV (Row Count is 500)

Hey Folks,
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. Any suggestions on why this is occurring. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export. Any help is
greatly appreciated. Inherited this and not sure if this would be configuration issues or something else. It is happening on a number of reports.
Thanks.

Hi Humbly,
According to your description, when you export report into CSV or Excel format, some rows are missing.
In your scenario, since you are missing data “rows” in your exported file, we are guessing if you have any visibility setting like toggle which hide those records. It’s possible that you have set toggle or visibility in your report. After exporting
Excel/CSV, some data might not appear properly. In SSRS 2008 R2, it has reported this kind of issue about data missing after exporting. However, those scenarios are not exactly same as your issue. It mostly turns out be conflict between data and “layout render”
and related to DataElementOutput property. DataElementOutput property controls export behavior, it indicates which report item data should appear in Excel/CSV render. For more information, please refer to this article: Reporting Services:
Why aren’t all my report columns exporting to CSV and/or XML?.
As we tested in our environment(SSRS 2008 R2), no matter what we export into CSV or Excel, we get same results as in BIDS . So I would like to know your report design structure. If possible, please provide some screenshots about results in BIDS and Excel/CSV
render extension results. It may help us find out the root cause of your issue. Thank you.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (apparently because they are PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

Acrobat Pro XI transposes numbers for month and day in dates when saving optimized pdf to Excel spreadsheet.

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Excel 14.3.8 on a mac.
Saved PDF as "optimized PDF" then "save as other" > spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook.
Problem: numbers in some random dates are transposed so that month and day are reversed. No particular pattern to these errors. Only fix we've found is to go through and manually check and correct the date errors - there are hundreds of these errors in the document so this is not a good solution.
(Note: Excel columns with dates are specified as "date" fields. All dates are formatted as m/d/yy)
Any ideas what's causing this problem problem and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

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.
