Excel, hyperlinks and InDesign

I have an InDesign with a linked excel file attached file that contains the data in a table.  The file excel with hyperlinks, hundreds of them, and they appear correctly in the file InDesign and PDF output as working links.  It is perfectly connected and when I change the excel file, these are reciprocal in the InDesign.

FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DON'T REMEMBER HOW I DID IT!

I tried to reproduce this in a new file and whenever I put the excel file in InDesign, it places the text only and does NOT include hyper links.  Even when I place a workbook into the existing, working, file - it does not keep the hypertext links!  It must be something to do with the way I'm placing it?

TL; DR - how put an excel file and keep the links that are in it?

file > place > tick 'show the Import Options.

Then, in the 'Microsoft Excel Import Options' window > Formatting > Table > choose "formatted table.

    Do you mean without errors in the text or formatting? When you place an Excel doc, the Place dialog box allows you to display Import Options. You can choose to place as a non formatted table and apply to any InDesign Table Style.

  • How to display '-1' with a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in InDesign

    Hello!

    If you place a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in the cells of InDesign with '-1' are not displayed :-(

    The Adobe solution is to use the tables formatted, but that is no option for us, because if the numbers in the excel worksheet updated, InDesign loses real formatting and rebuilt the Excel formatting :/

    The problem is understandable for Adobe, but we didn't have the suspicion to ask in the forum for a solution.

    I think the problem is the operating system and independent version of InDesign - we everywhere (Windows 7,8,10) and Mac OS X, CS6 CC problem - there is a bug/feature in constand.

    Does anyone have a solution or a solution to our problem? :-)

    Thank you in advance!

    Ludwig

    In Excel, you must precede the - 1 with an apostrophe (so '-1). As you probably know, this is unnecessary with other negative numbers... If I remember correctly.

    It is not sufficient for formatting just these cells as text in Excel, the apostrophe is necessary.

  • 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.

  • How can I change a VI that is related to "NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel find and replace (str) .vi

    I need to create a new VI ' Excel find and replace (str) .vi ", for my own needs.

    LabVIEW does not allow me to do, because VI belongs to, "NI_Excel.lvclass."

    Instead of find and replace - I'd like to find him a string and tell me which column and row it is in.

    Thank you

    Have you tried to do this, even the jury of Exceldiscussion forums?

    You'll probably find what you want, or close at least something you could learn from.

    Can you open the VI you want to change?  Even if you are not allowed to copy, if you open it and see what it does, you can the recode yourself using the appropriate ActiveX functions.

  • Excel color and border VI: no fill?

    If I use Excel color and border VI to change the format of a cell, I will get my default color to white for my cell phone.  However, I'm looking for no fill.  I don't want any color, since the color helps to hide the line of the grid.  I have not get the fill for the cell color option in LabVIEW?

    I got it.  I just need to change the function by adding the pattern property and set it on-4142, which is not filling.

  • Excel 2010 and labview 2010

    I think that this may have been covered, but if anyone noticed all the differences in the properties of the ActiveX or methods in labview when working with excellent 2007 versus excel 2010? I know at one point Microsoft had changed a few things excellent 97-2003 "and instead select 'value' in your method, you must now choose"value 2". Is the real wait even for excel 2010? I am currently using excel 2007 at work and 2000 at home, and when I opened my code at home, my call nodes 'have the wrong son' still all required entries are correct. Same code on excel 2007; lot of son and the code will be run. I'm just curious to know if anyone has tried to use labview 2010 and excel 2010 together and made a work? I'm opening 1 workbook and wrote to 4 different excel sheets using Windows XP, excel 2007 at work and have windows 7 and want to use excel 2010 home and prefers no problem or to all the least know what are potential problems. Sorry if this confusion. I think it's the best way I can explain that I have MY head wrapped around it yet.  I do not want to write the same code twice for different versions of excel. (write and test at home, then re - write at work)

    Myke,

    While I don't have excel 2010 available to try and see, Microsoft (and MSDN) has a huge amount of information about calls in all versions of Excel.

    Excel 2010 development resources: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee658205 (office.14) .aspx

    Excel 2007 development resources: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb979621(v=office.12).aspx

    I hope that helps you start, because I don't have access to excel 2010. Let me know if it works for you.
