Excel automation

Hello

I am trying to use the ActiveX Automation Excel server.  I got TestStand to run the excel application, however, when I try to create a new workbook, I get the following error:

'Create the new object' call automation failed.
Class not registered
One of the possible reasons for this error is that the server can be a COM in-process 64-bit server. TestStand is a 32-bit process and Windows does not allow a mix of 32-bit code and 64-bit in the same process. TestStand can create objects from a COM server out-of-process 64-bit directly, but for 64-bit in-process COM servers, you must create the object in a 64-bit external process and pass in TestStand using an out-of-process server or a DLLSurrogate.

I have attached the file in sequence, I've been using.

Hello mcooblal,

I took a quick glance to your movie file, and you're not properly access the workbook class. You must first get a reference to the workbooks property that returns a reference to the property of workbooks. Then, using the reference of workbooks, you can then get the workbooks class that has a method to add cabinets.

Here is an example of good sequence that refers to these steps:

  • TDM excel automation

    Hey there,

    I have a script that creates *. TOC files. The annoying part is that I have to right click on the file to be converted with the TDM EXCEL ADD INN and save it under the same name as the created every time *. TOC file.

    So, I tried to apply in my script but it doesn´t work.

    There a piece of code, I found here in the community, but in the line that says 'oComAddIn.connect = True' produces an error.

    Dim oExcel

    Dim oComAddIn

    Set oExcel = New

    For each oComAddIn in oExcel.COMAddIns

    If oComAddIn.ProgId = ExcelTDM.TDMAddin "Then" ""

    oComAddIn.connect = True

    Otherwise oComAddIn.Object IsNothingThen' use the interface of the object here

    On the other

    MsgBox "no object available interface! :-(. (("

    EndIf

    EndIf

    Next

    I m very grateful for all the help.

    After running the script, please take a look in the Windows Task Manager. Excel still works?

    If so, the following lines should close Excel at the end of the script:

    oExcel.Application.Quit
    Set oComAddIn = Nothing
    Set oExcel = Nothing

  • Start TDM importer Excel automation index

    I'm trying to create a macro in excel to import and format data from a .tdm file.

    The files to import sometimes exceed the limit of 1 M in Excel line, when that happens, so I want to generate two workbooks. One of these binders to be generated from a starting index of 1 and the other must be generated from a beginning index of 1048576. Right now I use the silent mode to give a hint of departure of 1 and then again run the importer and enter 1048576 manually to the second workbook.

    My question is: is it possible to set the index of departure via a macro?

    I looked at using the sendkey command to generate the key sequence "tab tab 1048576 enter" required, but excel cannot interrupt the object call command to do this.

    Thank you very much

    I did a fairly complex treatment with DIAdem.  Your request is not a big deal to do in tiara.

    For maximum flexibility, you can take the references to the chain. As shown below in oChan01.  This will allow you to manage a channel such as a table. The limits of this approach is the speed, built-in functions are faster that approach and should be used as much as possible.   The chnfind command is an examle that is much faster to find a specific value in a channel.

    OptionExplicit'Forces the declaration explicitly all variables in a script.

    Dim oChan01, i, GPB, dVal

    define the GPB = data. Root.ChannelGroups ("EXAMPLE")

    Set oChan01 = oGrp.Channels ("Time")

    for i = 1 oChan01.Size

    dVal = oChan01 (2)

  • How to get Automator to export a list of file names in an Excel workbook?

    I have a spreadsheet with all the file names of my Sibelius (.sib) scores without import/y attach files to a 2011 Excel workbook. I tried different ways to help automate it, but it seems to only be able to export .txt files in Excel. On some combinations, I tried, even lets link you to files that I'm not interested by - all I want is a list (editable preference) of my file names so that you can see them all in one area and check what I have / I do not have.

    I use Yosemite 10.10.5 (I don't want to upgrade to El Capitan due to driver compatibility issues) and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.

    Any help would be appreciated

    I can't help you with Automator, but there is a solution.

    1. launch Firefox.

    2. drag the folder with the files in the Firefox window. (The example is a folder of image files)

    3 - Select all the entries on the page in Firefox:


    4 - Open Excel and paste it into a spreadsheet:

    5 - remove the size and last modified columns. To remove the links reformat the text column.

  • Creation of Refnum Automation to Excel

    Hello

    So I've worked to read Excel documents with report generation tool, but realized the document I was trying to read is password protected and requires an update link (PivotTable).

    Searching I found an accessory useful toolkit Joe_H (post #2) http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Excel-Board/m-p/379682 . I try to recreate its VI, but there are some things I don't understand. (I started only working with refnums & variants)

    My Questions:

    1. referring to my 'refnum.png' attachment, black refum automation is copied from example VI and purple is what I tried to do. They have the same ActiveX class, but purple throws an exception error 3005. I can't find the refnum of the black arrow.

    Googling this error, gives a solution, but I can not understand how to use or if it applies to me. http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/error-3005-occurred-at-Automation-open-using-ActiveX-RichText-box/TD-...

    2 referring to 'excel.png' for the node invoke - workbooks, how is a person knows how to use the data types variant? For example, WriteResPassword I just tried to use a string and it worked. I noticed that the help info gets thinner when working with property/Invoke nodes.

    Thanks for your time.

    I don't know why the difference in colors between the refnums, but I doubt that's the problem. Looks like it's just an artifact weird opening a VI from an earlier version of LabVIEW. If you convert this refnum control to a constant and then again to a control, it will turn pink, but I guess it will always work. Can you show the code showing you how you use this refnum?

    As mentioned nyc, you refer to the Microsoft documentation to determine what kind of data for wire entry variant. There is no documentation of LabVIEW because it is not a component of LabVIEW.

  • Automation of several scanned page PDF export to Excel

    We have MANY PDF files scanned at work (about 8 400) that we need to export to Excel. There are a few tricky parts to what I'm trying to find out if there is a way to automate this. These are all individual PDF files, but I know that I could convert them all to a multipage PDF, if I need to, that shouldn't be a problem. The major problem being that we want only a small part of all files PDF, the upper left corner that has some basic information (name and address) to be exported to an Excel worksheet. The rest of the PDF file is not required. If that helps anything on the automation of formatting are simple page PDF. Anyone know if this is possible?

    I asked this in the PDF forum, but someone suggested to ask in the forum of java script instead.

    It can be done, most likely, but it would be a custom script to extract the text from the desired coordinates and then export it to a format that can be read using Excel (for example, a text file delimited by tabs). This is not a simple task, however.

  • Automation of exit Excel and 'recording' default directory

    Hello

    I searched the forum for an answer, but could not find a complete solution.

    User at the bottom of a report, he can click a button and it would be:
    Save in Excel format in a default directory automatically.

    For example, it would be saved under C:\Saved Reports\data_for_word_fusion.xls

    How can I do?

    Thank you.

    Two things: one that is NOT a TRUE Excel file, it is something closer than the CSV file, but if you open in a text editor, it's an HTML file in the format element. Two: Each browser will allow you a latitude for downloads and more, but there is NO real way to FORCE a user to upload a file to a predefined directory, it would cause too many questions...

    Are copy you - paste the information contained in, or in numbers you go File > open in your menu?

    If you are the copy - paste, make sure that you click on a cell numbers once before you command + v to paste.

    If you do file > Open a .csv file (make sure it has the .csv extension) then it is possible that the file is in a format that gives hard numbers. If the choice of the download format choose comma separated and not delimited by tabs.

    In this case, you can try this text to columns Automator Service (download Dropbox).

    Double-click it to install it, give permission if necessary in system preferences > security & privacy.

    To use just select cells with information all come on him in a column and with the selected cells in numbers > Service menu and choose the text columns. Meet the guests. Then, click a cell in the numbers once and type command-v to paste.  If you have chosen the right separator (you may need to try different) values should paste into several columns.

    Hi Mehran,

    Thanks for providing the attached files.  I have determined that the cause of the problem may be due to a setting of simulation of IVI.

    Currently, your IVI Driver Max sessions are configured so that simulate attribute is set to False.  This means that real hardware must be connected when opening a session IVI instrument.  If you do not have the hardware attached, then the call to initialize IVI fails (and potentially bad, depending on how the IVI specific driver manages an init call without hardware).

    Import the NI Switch Executive configuration in .xml format does not cause a problem because simulate is always set to true in the call to initialize of IVI.

    We will consider changing the import Excel in the future to also have always simulate the True value.  Time, you can a) check the hardware is connected when you import Excel, or b) set the value "Simulate with" Max to 'Specific Driver' applicable IVI pilot sessions.

    Example of setting "with"to simulate 'Specfic Driver' of MAX:

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
