Sharepoint: Syncing dates in excel columns with Project calendar.

Hi
I am two questions if you have some time to answer:
First question: I am trying to create a detailed workflow for a Document App.  I basically want to sync dates from certain columns from a number of SharePoint excel spreadsheets
with the calendar on SharePoint for my project.  The dates in the excel spreadsheet will continually change depending on the progress of the project due to cell formulas therefore
i need those dates to change also in theproject calendar.  I am not sure if this can be generated in a workflow (?) or indeed if this is possible at all???  
I have tried to use the "Add a Workflow" link to try the above but it does not go into enough detail for me. I have SharePoint Designer installed but i am unsure of how to go about doing this.
Second question: Is there a way to generate a workflow to sync tasks in the Tasks App assigned with "to be completed by" dates with the Project calendar?  I would like to be able to create a task, assign it to someone with a due date and then
have that task appear in the project calendar.
I would very much appreciate any help you could provide me with this.
Thank you
Ray

Does anyone have any ideas on how to complete my task above???  I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Ray

  • How to insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type

    Guys,
    I need insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type, when i am trying to that getting error.
    error message says: "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."
    I have data in table a col1,col2,col3,col4 - col3,col4 has datatype as varchar and i am updating table b columns col1,col2 with table a col3 and col4.
    Please guide how to do it.

    Hi,
    Not any String can be convert to uniqueidentifier.
    1. you have to make sure u use a value which is fir to be uniqueidentifier
    2. Use convert or cast in the insert query in order to convert the string into uniqueidentifier
    insert X ... convert(uniqueidentifier, 'string which fit to be convert to uniqueidentifier')
    Please post DDL+DML for more specific help
    DDL = Data Definition Language. In our case that is, CREATE TABLE statements for your tables and other definitions that are needed to understand your tables structure and there for let us to test and reproduce the problem in our server. Without DDL no one
    can execute any query.
    How to get DDL: Right click on the table in Object Explorer and select script table as CREATE. Post these create table scripts here.
    DML = data manipulation language is a family of queries used for manipulating the data it self like: inserting, deleting and updating data. In our case we need some sample data in order to check the query and get result, so we need some indert query for
    sample data.
    If you post a "create query" for the tables and "insert query" with some sample, then we could help you without Assuming/Guessing. There is a reason that DDL is generally asked for and expected when discussing query problems - it helps
    to identify issues, clarify terminology and prevent incorrect assumptions.  Sample data also provides a common point of reference for the discussion. A script that can be used to illustrate or reproduce the issue you have, will encourage others to help.

  • Using iCal to sync a local editable copy with a calendar server...?

    Hi All,
    I have a couple of calendar servers running versions of Citadel (www.citadel.org) and WebCalendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php). We are currently considering Sunbird and Outlook as clients as they support groupdav publish/subscribe. However many wish to use iCal.
    Does iCal (or will it ever) support the ability to communicate bidirectionally with a server calender? Can I sync a local editable copy with my calendar servers? If not, are there any quality plugins or workarounds of any sort to allow this?
    Best.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    iCal does appear to be supported by Webcalendar, I did not google Citadel, but this is what I got from searching for iCal and webcalendar together: http://www.k5n.us/wiki/index.php?title=RemotePublishing_with_AppleiCal

  • Keeping SharePoint Query Data and Excel Manual Entry Data Aligned

    Greetings!
    I've been trying to find the best place to ask this question, so I'm hoping this is close enough to on-topic for this forum.
    I have an Excel 2010 workbook that includes a table linked to my SharePoint 2013 site by a data connection. The SharePoint list feeds the table standard information that's managed on the SharePoint site, but I need the user of the Excel workbook to be able
    to enter text manually in the workbook to associate local information with the line-items coming from the SharePoint list. To do this, I've added extra columns to the end of the table. This is not just text entered into columns to the right of the data table,
    but rather the data table is extended to encompass the adjacent columns, so my expectation was that the rows of the table should hold some level of "identity" to associate the manually entered text with the corresponding data coming from the SharePoint
    site.
    The user can enter information in the appropriate cells in the "extra" columns at the end of the table, but when I refresh the data connection, the addition of a new list item on the SharePoint side results in the user's manually entered text getting
    out of alignment with the row it's supposed to be associated with.
    Example
    Column 1(SP)
    Column 2(Extra)
    Row 1
    Item 1
    Row 2
    Item 2
    Text entered for Item 2
    Row 3
    Item 3
    Then, if I add a new item to the list in SharePoint, for example, something that would appear between the original items 1 & 2, after refreshing the table, I get the following:
    Column 1(SP)
    Column 2(Extra)
    Row 1
    Item 1
    Row 2
    New Item 1.5
    Text entered for Item 2
    Row 3
    Item 2
    Row 4
    Item 3
    The table's data connection is set to insert rows for new items, and I could swear I had this working properly once upon a time...but I can't seem to make it work now.
    Any thoughts on what would cause this?
    Thanks in advance!

    hi,
    >> this button of excel gets just address of web and have button for import it
         i test it by rest API project , but doesn't work, do you know how it is work?
    Do you mean that you don't know how to get the table? You may input the site address into the address box, and then click go button nearby, select the table you want to import into the Excel. Then click import button.That also works for  rest API,
    and your rest API should get the data that you want
    By the way, this is the forum for discussions about Excel develop(VBA ,customization), better to go to TechNet forum for Excel for Excel features question, so that you could get more professional help.

  • Export Data to Excel columns not in sequence

    Hi experts,
    I have a question here.
    I tried to export data (via System Action 'Export Data') from a table which my data service generated. However, when I paste the data into Excel, the sequence is all messed up.
    E.g.
    Layout of Table in the iView:
    Personnel_number
    Org Unit
    Position
    Start Date
    End Date
    Layout of Table when pasted in Excel (Messed up sequence):
    End Date
    Start Date
    Org Unit
    Position
    Personnel_number
    Is there any reason and solution for that? Help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Damien

    Hi Shay, thanks for the information.
    I've gotten reply from SAP that the wrong sequence of columns will be rectified if we use SPS 16.
    We'll be doing some test when our server is patched.

  • Calendar data disappeared, not resynching with Gmail calendar - help!

    All my calendar data just disappeared. I tried resynching with Google Calendar but the only entry to reappear was one I made a few minutes ago. Resynching does not work. The data is still visible in my Google Calendar on my desktop PC. How can I restore it to my iPhone?

    Kevin,
    Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change
    AFAIK, the merge function will incorporate calendars on your iPhone and MobileMe.
    If you are not confident with that answer, be sure to try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

  • Download internal table data into excel sheet with column heading and data

    Hi,
      I am having one internal table with column headings and other table with data.
    i want to download the data with these tables into an excel sheet.

  • How to connect start date of shape to start date from Excel column?

    I tried to create Visio report with timeline
    Created connections and add external data.
    Dragged projects to the main screen
    But, start/finish date do not connect to the project data.
    What should I check or correct?

    The shape uses a custom property for the start and end date/time (controlled by the add-in).
     Since you cannot have duplicate names for fields within the shape your spreadsheet's column name will have to be different than the solution name when it is read and linked. You might check David Parker's site for a possible solution.

    I remember him illustrating how to link a SharePoint list to a timeline for dynamic changes (roughly the same operation).

  • Export data to excel along with Formulas

    Hi,
    I want to design a WD ABAP table ALV or normal) with a forumula for each cell like we do in excel. And upon clicking export to excel it should export the data in the table along with the formulas in it. Is it possible?
    Aditya.

    NB if you do use the standard ALV you'll have to disable the standard export and build your own. I wonder how long (or perhaps it has already happened - Ivan could probably tell us) it will take for generic export from Web Dynpro ALV code to be available.
    I've played with the exports that Ivan has been working on. They are very cool and I highly recommend them!
    Cheers,

  • Sync data between third-party contacts and calendar apps, and the native apps, in 10.9.3+?

    I've had to refrain from updating my Mac Pro from 10.8.5 to 10.9 owing to the removal of SyncServices.  I then read that SyncServices was re-introduced on a limited basis in 10.9.3. 
    It seems unlikely, but I'd like to know whether or not SyncServices in 10.9.3 re-enables the syncing of data between third-party contacts & calendar apps and the native apps, and thereby enables syncing of contacts and calendar info between third-party apps and iOS devices over USB via iTunes.  This is the method I use exclusively by choice in 10.8.5, and I will not change it to a cloud-based solution under any circumstances.
    If it is not possible, is there a third-party workaround?  My calendar app on the Mac Pro at the moment is BusyCal, syncing with Week Cal on the iPhone, but I'll happily buy a new combo of apps if it means I can upgrade to Mavericks and retain USB syncing.
    EDIT: a solution which permits syncing of a third-party calendar app on the Mac Pro with a third-party calendar app on the iPhone over an ad-hoc wireless network would also be acceptable, I suppose.

    Well, that's pretty disappointing.  I guess Apple believes Internet is free and everywhere.

  • Sync Microsoft outlook for Mac with Apple calendar

    Hi,
    I run Microsofts Office 365 for Mac on my Macbook Pro, and manage my work Calendar (Which comes via a Microsoft Exchange server) on Outlook for Mac. My personal/Family Calendar runs on the Apple Calendar and therefore doesn't interact at all with the other calendar.
    I would love to be able to Sync up both the Calendars, not necessarily bi-directional, but rather to use just my Apple Calendar to show both personal and business calendar events on one calendar. (i.e. pull in any events from the Outlook calendar into the Apple Calendar).
    Does anyone know how/if I can do this, and if so how?

  • Sync outlook 2007 (win 10) with E71 calendar

    Hi!
    I am using outlook 7 with Win 2010.
    I can't sync my e71 calendar with outlook (pictures, text messages, music etc, do sync).
    After trying to sync the calendar, I get the following message:
    Reinstall Outlook.
    Error number: 386000e
    I have reinstalled outlook an ovi.
    Thanks for your help,
    Yadin

    Open iCal and export to a file. This exports to an .ics file located on the Mac. I put mine on the desktop;
    why this step?
    sync services actually keeps ical and outlook in sync with each other
    once step 3 was completed you should have only then gone to step 5 but done nothing
    the calendar entries in ical would magically appear in outlook, as would the contacts and tasks and notes if you had them syncing too
    this is what I do and furthermore outlook doesnt support caldav etc subscriptions well so in ical I right click and select duplicate, then I choose the calendar as outlook to put them in manually (subscribed calendars that is not the ones from your phone)
