Date format changes when you put an Excel file in Indesign

I have an Excel sheet with the date format DD-MM-YYYY.

I need to put this Excel file in Indesign - and the link, so I can update the Excel sheet and put it auto updated in Indesign.

So I put my file management preferences to "create links when placing text years Spreadsheeet Files", go to file > Place and choose my Excel sheet. In the import option, I don't see any option to keep the date format. But when I look at the table in Indesign changed the date format DD/MM/YYYY.

The same thing happens if I chose 'To format table' or 'Unofrmatted'. That if I copy and paste the table actually the show dates above right. But it's not a solution for me, since I need the linked Excel file!

So, do I did wrong? Is there some settings in Indesign to preserve the format of Excel date instead of change?

I use the Mac version and I get different results with the 2011 and older versions. I tested the top down and the values are different. On windows, MS Office is better, so I often work on Mac, but change to Windows, then save again with a new file name, and use it. But not everyone has this opportunity.

With Excel on Mac is a huge problem that. and exchanged everwhere in its German version. It's ok in numbers, as German and English exchanged. and,

But with the files exported as CSV, it becomes a huge problem, because Excel separates files CSV Comma, but pointed, and no other application (and neither itsself Excel) will read these files correctly. Excel on Mac is so good for the calculation, but if you go information in another application it is a mess.

  • RGB color values change when I create a PDF file in Indesign

    Hi I have a night Mare, please please please help me.

    I design a lot of websites in Indesign, export to PDF and then slice and dice the pdf in Pshop, while coding I'm going.

    I just upgraded to CS5 and seem to have a nightmare when I export my drawings in PDF format. When I open the PDF file in Acrobat or Pshop RGB color values are always different from what they were in Indesign (only subtly). I tried all the options and settings I can think when I make a PDF, but still the color values are different in the final PDF file.

    Why this keep happening, this settings, I have set before you make the PDF to ensure my RGB color values remain the same.

    I use Acrobat 7 Professional.

    Do not include the profiles. You have a problem of current color management (workspaces probably not synchronized). If there is no profile, the opeing application will ask what it is or take the current work profile, which is what you want, if the numbers must be preserved.

  • ORA-28500 when you access an Excel file

    Hello

    I'm getting the dreaded ORA-28500 "optional not implemented" when you try to access an Excel file via ODBC HS. This is a bug in 11.1.0.6 (6701400), however my flavor is 11.1.0.7 fully patched. Because I'm trying to use the OLAP on Windows XP 32, I installed version 11.1.0.6 and applied the patches 6890831 and 7682184, as recommend it on [this page | http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/collateral/olap_certification.html], without as far as I can tell error. This should have fixed the problem with dg4odbc according to the bug page, but when now trying to access an Excel spreadsheet I get the exact same message:
    SQL> select * from "International$"@refdata;
    select * from "International$"@refdata
                  *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
    [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]Optional feature not implemented
    ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from REFDATA
    Is it possible that the patch do not go as planned? Or the second patch to restore the old behavior? I am really lost at what to do now.

    Thanks for your help,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    The problem is really fixed in 11.1.0.7 However you must change this setting:
    HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS = FALSE

    11.1.0.6, the default value of HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS is set to 'TRUE '.
    even if the trace files see the value is set to "FALSE".
    In 11.1.0.7 is always 'TRUE' by default, but the trace files now show that
    value.
    Use DG4ODBC with Excel, requires that the value "false".

    I hope this helps you

  • Change color when you place an eps file in inDesign

    Hi everyone, I have created a document for a poster. I add a few shapes affect all CMYK colors for each... more text etc.

    I then place an eps file (logo), which was set with the same CMYK colors used on some forms. Everything seems good.

    When I export to PDF logo I have placed now looks different... the color that was the same thing is very different shapes I added and filled in inDesign. Thoughts?

    I had never experienced this before moving to CS6. It's a thing of color management?

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Nelson

    Still, any thought would be appreciated if you have an idea of what might happen.

    EPS has no color management capabilities. Ensure that the assigned your illustrator and InDesign documents CMYK profiles are the same (Edit > assign profiles). Then resave as .ai and include profile

  • When you create interactive PDF files in InDesign, buttons are down in the DC / Acrobat Reader

    Hello Acrobat Forum:

    I create an interactive e-book PDF I get incompatible with questions. I spent a lot of time trying to solve it, and I still have to find a solution. I have some configuration of navigation on a master page that I need to change the page level. These buttons should have a reverse effect, so the bearings must exchange. Most of the time these works. It is the 25% of the time this is a problem. And when there is a problem, they are not displayed. The final PDF is created an InDesign book with 5-6 papers in it. It has 6 layers with the top layer of mostly unprintable.

    That's what I tried:

    • Made sure all the layers in the ID book are exactly the same.
    • Handset of all horizons for the navigation and buttons on the same layer.
    • Exported with only the layer of activated navigation. This fixed the problem with the navigation, but once all the other elements have been added the problem came back.
    • Changed order of the layers. Same result with the loss of elements.
    • Excerpt from the page with the fall as they appear and buttons. As soon as I replace the page with this page the complete document, they give up.

    I use the latest version of InDesign (version 2015.4) and DC Acrobat (version 2015.017.20053).

    I have many more of these books, it is imperative that I find a solution in the future.

    Thank you.

    After much trial and error trying to figure this issue out, I came up with the solution that solved my problem. The issue has to do with the designation of the buttons. Most of the buttons were on master pages. But some pages have a different look on some pages. So I turn on the master page to the page level button. Once this happened, he changed the name of the button. Because I'm using the function "Export to the book in PDF format", where this has been done in other ID files in the book, there was conflict in the naming of the buttons. Once I renamed the buttons with a unique name, they came on the page.

    I need help. I am creating a catalog for my company and we use a "fonts owners."

  • Is it possible when you save the psd file to put an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

    My job is to prepare images for print viewers and window facilities.  My clients need to approve in advance the photos before printing.

    I generally save my psd files, but because the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy in a jpg file which has a much smaller file size.  This makes it possible for me to add to a presentation and and send them to my client.

    Is possible when you save the psd file to put an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?  Or that I always have to do it manually?

  • Size of the image changes when you move an image between Lightroom and CC.

    Size of the image changes when you move an image between Lightroom and CC.

    I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the develop module.  I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the "As Shot" (the lock is closed) menu drop-down and cropped to 11 x 17 and click 'Done '-.

    I click Ctrl-E and the image opens in the CC.  I click on the Image > Image size and the size of the Image is 13,288 inches on 20,533.

    Why change the size of the image?

    I believe that there is a menu to control the size of the image, and I've looked everywhere I see in LR and CC, I have googled various descriptions and I checked both Kelby books, but I can't understand not just how to keep the image at a uniform height when moving between LR and CC.

    Help!... Please?

    The size of the image has not changed. The number of pixels has not changed. Let me tell you. The number of pixels has not changed to a single pixel.

    The numbers relatively meaningless displayed by your software have changed.

    The image is always format 11 x 17 (17 divided by 11 = 1.545 and 20.533 divided by 13.288 = 1.545)

  • Screen resolution/size changes when you use the touchpad

    Bought Probbok 4530 s. Win 7. I continue to have the screen/print resolutiom size change when you use the touch pad. The pointer seems to 'paste' and then when I move it, the screen get is much lower or higher. I continually have to type ctrl + or - to get the size of the screen back to the 'normal '. Is this something to do with the settings for the touchpad or pointer? Its driving me crazy...

    Thank you

    Be more specific.

    You try to insert this in a column that is defined as not null?

    If so, you can choose a default value for the value that you want to use if the user leaves the field to the white screen.

    Or, better yet, use the validation of the front to prevent them from going into an empty space (or perhaps failed it there).

    However, if you still want to do it in the DB:

    Insert into table1 (non_null_date_col)
    values (to_date (nvl (?, '' 2199/12/31), "dd/mm/yyyy"));
