VLookup in two Excel Spreadsheets in a site Library

Hi All,
I have searched the net regarding my problem and cannot seem to find a direct answer. I have multiple excel files contained in a SharePoint 2013 site library. I open one of them, which have a vlookup to the other spreadsheet. To first mention,
these files were on a file server and the vlookup was hardcoded into the sheet.
My question initially is it possible to use Vlookup in this scenario? If so, how do I reference the file that is being used in the array table section of Vlookup?

Here's another approach. A separate column for the title:
When you delete the border on one side of the new column, you end up with what is close to centering:

Define Data Model with Two Excel Sources

Good afternoon --
I am attempting to join two Excel spreadsheets within BI Publisher 11g (have tried both 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.6) and continue to receive an XDOException / NullPointerException error. Although my original use case involved two complex spreadsheets, I have attempted to test with two simple spreadsheets with these columns:
Key_Project
Project_Name
Project_Description
TaskID
Task_Name
Project_ID
Percentage_Complete
Can successfully load each spreadsheet into BIP and render the XML, but as soon as I load both sheets and create a join between Key_Project and Project_ID I receive either an empty dataset or an error. The error looks like this:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </img>.
Location: https://obi-demo.cadm.harvard.edu/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo
Line Number 2, Column 580:
But if you scroll to the end you can see this ambiguous error message:
oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.NullPointerException
Please help with any and all suggestions... All my searches on Oracle Forums, My Oracle Support, and Google have come up empty so far...
Thanks,
Jason

if u find any solution plz update me on [email protected] , i am also getting the same error

Writing two arrays to a Excel Spreadsheet

Guru's
I am trying to take information from two arrays and write them to a spreadsheet. One array generates the headers information for the columns, the other array is a random number generator. The number of columns and rows are input from the front panel. The first column of the chart is time at some multiple (interval) input from the front panel
The problem I am having is timing the data out of the loop at the same time so they write together. One loop writes first and the other is left out. The data is going out to an excel spreadsheet. The data is correct for the headers and the columns, but won't write together.
I have only been using LabView for six weeks and have spent a good portion of this weekend working on this problem.
Attached are screen shots and the .vi of the problem. Explanations of each loop are writen in the block diagram.
Thank you for your time and help!!

First let's talk about the code flaws:
Placing a text decoration over a path constant does not turn it into a valid path constant.
All your controls belong outside the loop, because it would be really bad if they could change during running of the loop. This is also less work, because LabVIEW does not need to re-inspect the control during each iteration.
Your while loop should be a FOR loop because the number of iteration can be calculated before the loop starts. This eliminates checking for termination.
You are not writing any excel files. You are just writing an ASCII table, but you possibly force excel to open it via a fake file extension. (this might be OK, but make sure to NEVER save it later as excel or the file structure would change dramatically).
"# of rows" and "# of machines" should be integers (blue).
Don't be afraid to brance a wire. You don't need any local variables if you do so.
To determine the order in which the segments are written to the file can be determined by dataflow if you wire it correctly. Wire the path to the write function that needs to write first. Then use the path output of this function and wire it to the next instance. Now the second instance must wait until the first one is finished.
(Currently you are branching the path wire, and the execution order is random!)

Troubleshooting issues opening Excel spreadsheets

Platform: SP 2010 service pack 2. Office 2010, windows 7 on user laptop , IE 9 32 bit browser.
several users started calling recently about problems opening Excel spreadsheets. They are on different SharePoint sites on the same site collection.
No changes/patches have been made to SharePoint.
No changes to the site collection features of configuration of which I am aware.
The site collection is configured that users clicking on a doc library item opens in the application associated with the file type.
When I, as a farm admin (which I need to do due to permissions), and I click on the Excel documents on person 1's troubled site, they open in Excel as expected.
When the person reporting the problem clicks on the Excel spreadsheets, he gets one of two behaviors.
On the first paginated page (documents 1-31) , if he clicks on an Excel document, two instances of the Excel application opens.
On page 3 (documents 61-90) when he clicks on an Excel document, the excel data appears within the web page itself with a button at the top that says "Open in Excel". When he clicks that, he gets an error box that states
To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel installed and your web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in the browser.
This of course is interesting since on the first page, clicking on one of the documents uses the version of Excel installed and opens the file directly.
None of these behavior, of course, can I duplicate.
And, just to add another confusing item to the list, if this person goes to a different doc library and everything works fine.
So this does not seem to be related to add-ons (why would add-ons act differently between sites?).
The sites that I have examined all have the same advanced setting regarding opening the document in the client app rather than the browser.
I have not yet started the process of having a repair on Office 2010 be broken in a way that on different pages different behaviors occur?

Well, after the admins performed the repair on Office 2010, the user was able to click on Excel workbooks and have them open as expected.

Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
zzxc: Hello
zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
seegal: hello
seegal: it doesn't copy
zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
Biolizard has joined the conversation.
zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
zzxc: Which version of OS X?
seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
zzxc: Which version of Excel?
zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

Excel spreadsheets with macro's

Good day
Excel spreadsheets with macro's created in Windows does not work on my Macbook (excel for mac 2011), even if I enable macro's. I do not create these spreadsheets myself. Cn anyone assist please? Thank you for your time.

Hi,
As far as I known, the macro/Active X control can be used well with both of the Office 2013 and Office 365.
Would you like to share us a sample file that created in Office 2013? I'd like to test it. You can send it via Email ([email protected]).
If you have any update, please feel free let us know.
===========
Update:
I have received your mail and
attachment. Then, I tested it, I found the probably reason.
You were using ActiveX controls in the sample file, and them displayed 4 tabs in Format control dialog box. Next, you created a new Form control, it displayed 7 tabs.
You were using the two type of controls. ActiveX controls and Form controls
are different.
Form controls
Form controls are the original controls that are compatible with earlier versions of Excel, starting with Excel version 5.0. Form controls are also designed for use on XLM macro sheets.
ActiveX controls
ActiveX controls can be used on worksheet forms, with or without the use of VBA code, and on VBA UserForms. In general, use ActiveX controls when you need more flexible design requirements than those provided by Form controls. ActiveX controls have extensive
properties that you can use to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics.
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

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.

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.

Can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments.

I have recently upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone4 and 3GS and can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments from my Hotmail. They come up as an E (which I think is Evernote). I don't want to use Evernote, I just want to view them as I could before. Even simple spreadsheets come as this annoying E when I try to open them. Everything worked fine before I did the iOS 5 upgrade and went with the cloud. I've no idea how to this happend or how to solve it.
Can anyone please help?
Regards

Generally if this happens the thing I have found to do is to quit the application and then restart the application by clicking on one of the files (like the ones in your documnets folder), not by starting the application and using the open command. Doing this immediately will usually solve the problem.
This could also be an indication of some sort of file or disk corruption so I would recommend that you not only check the disk using Disk Utility from the CD but also checking your disk permissions just to be sure. Instructions for doing so can be found in steps one and two here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
If the first two steps don't solve the problem then you might as well go to step three, otherwise stop with one and two.
If you have backups and cannot get the files to open then your only other choice will be to restore from the backup copies. Either way I would make sure that my disk was healthy, by following the above noted steps, before doing the restore, otherwise you may corrupt the restored copy.
Good Luck and let us know if this helps!!

How can I prepopulate a portion of a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Profession XI from an excel spreadsheet?

I have created a fillable form, and would like to prepopulate two fields from data in an excel spreadsheet. Any ideas?

You need to use JavaScript to import text data in a file setup using the tab delimiter and the column heading with the field name. You may need to select the row to import because one can only import 1 row of data.
importTextData
Has an example to import the first row. You can change the row number to see what happens.

Problem with embedded excel spreadsheet in Word document.

I am having trouble with a word document that has an embedded excel spreadsheet in it. If you double click on the spreadsheet to edit it, the following error message appears:
"The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
I know that Excel is installed on the PC. The PC is running Windows XP SP3 x86 and Office Professional Plus 2007. I have tried editing the spreadsheet on a PC running Windows 7
Pro x64 with the same version of office and it works just fine. I cannot find any differences in the setting between the two so I do not know why it works one place but not the other.
Any ideas?

If you double click on an Excel file in Windows Explorer, does Excel startup? If not, right click on such a File and used the Open with item to set Excel as the default program for opening such files.
If you need to do that, it may also overcome the issue with the embedded worksheet.
Hope this helps.

Excel spreadsheet not printing correctly

Recently bought a Envy 4500 all in one printer that my son installed. Everything works except for one thing on my excel spreadsheets.
1. Every horizontal line is not printing, so I get larger boxes with two lines of print within.
Thanks for your help....pjh
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Probably more reading than you want to do (and not sure if you're using Excel 2010), but I found this:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/in-excel-2010-cannot-get-gridlines...
And maybe the Reader's Digest version of a solution?
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and a small rain forest later this suggestion works:
On existing Excel 2010 Spreadsheets
In the Excel 2010 document, Print Preview and Print>Printer Properties>Advanced>Document Options>Print Optimizations: change setting to Disable. Save the file.
Hopefully to work on new Excel 2010 Spreadsheets
My computer>printers, or printers and devices>printer preferences, change 'Printer Optimization' from 'Enabled' to 'Disabled', then apply.
Fingers crossed this will work on new spread sheets.

Opening Excel Spreadsheet from ABAP

Hello,
Is there any way to put data from an ABAP program into an existing Excel spreadsheet? I know how to put the data into a new spreadsheet but my users want to put the data into an existing spreadsheet where they have developed macros.

Hi Becky
Here is a procedure using OLE automation.
DATA gs_excel TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbooks TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbook TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_application TYPE ole2_object .
CREATE OBJECT gs_excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION' .
SET PROPERTY OF gs_excel 'Visible' = 1 .
GET PROPERTY OF gs_excel 'Workbooks' = gs_wbooks .
GET PROPERTY OF gs_wbooks 'Application' = gs_application .
*--Opening the existing document
CALL METHOD OF gs_wbooks 'Open' = gs_wbook
EXPORTING #1 = <file_path_var> .
"*--After this point you can go on processing the sheet
using OLE Automation techniques"
If it is just the template to be stored you can save the template .xls file at the application server each time downloading it to a temporary place to open. Or you can store it at SAP Office templates folder. For SAP Office operations you can inspect "BC_SO_*" masked FMs.

Open the excel spreadsheet in Excel.

Hi,
I am outputing data as an excel spreadsheet via jsp, but there are no toolbars etc available (for sorting, etc) when displayed within the browser.
Is it possible to always open the excel spreadsheet in the Excel-application (even if the user/client have "Browse in same window" for the file type)?
Thank you

May be this could help:-
The points given below gives idea about how to display the report or
static data for which data is retrieved in the servlet and printed
through jsp.
1. The conversion of report into excel is done by changing the
setContentType of response
in the servlet.The mimeType should be added in mimeTypes of application
server corresponding to the string given in setContentType.The setHeader
is for default file
name for excel
Example:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=file.xls")
Setting Mime type in server(Weblogic):
weblogic.httpd.mimeType. application/vnd.ms-excel =xls
2. In IE the excel is directly downloaded and the user explicitly
saves in the local system.In Netscape the user is given the option to
open the file or save it to the local system
3. Note:
1) It is better if the whole information of the report in a single
table.
2) If the application requires both html and excel format of the same
report to be displayed on certain conditions, it is better to have two
different jsps one for html and other for Excel since the formatting is
different
