Help to import Excel data in tables preformattes

This is my first post here, so please be gentle!

I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I created the list price of the manufacturer 70 - pg.  A very large part of each page will be of size and price information source of a large Excel spreadsheet.

I created the table format I would use for each page, but the problem comes when I import the Excel data in this table.  For some reason, when I import, all this turns in a cell.  It would be preferable to import into a table not formatted and then put in the form table every time, or is there a way to simply import data into my preformatted table?  I've seen how the former, but the latter seems much easier (.. .Although that could be my inexperience talking).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much

To paste a range of cells in the way you want, you have most of the steps down.

The key point is to select the CELL at the top left of the area you want to paste into. See the screenshot below. The first cell in the range of rates is selected.

You may simply move the active cursor in the cell. This puts the contents of the Clipboard into this one cell.

    Hello

    Toad version 9.0.0.160, you can directly load data excel file (or any other specified) to table using the navigation "database > import > import the data in the table.
    You need to connect to the database, then go to the above navigation. Select the table, validation interval (i.e. commit after each record or once all records), map columns in excel file to your table and press ok.
    It loads data directly to your table.

    But, if you use characters multibyte (such as Chinese) in excel file you want to load, then you must make some settings in your machine.

    Don't know if its possible in another version of Toad.

  • Create a PDF template to use import Excel data

    I created a 'cover' page in Acrobat. I want this to be a template where I can import Excel data and insert my signature before sending it to our customers. It is a management report. How can I do this as efficiently as possible? So far I have converted each of these Excel files to PDF from Excel, open the cover.pdf, inserted the Excel file converted and inserted my signature and the text. I think that there is an easier way to do this?

  • Import Excel data into Form Designer

    I developed a dynamic form in Livecycle designer that will be sent to hundreds of schools throughout Nebraska.  There is a table in this form that has buttons to add or remove a line while dependent students informtion can be entered in this table. How I shape now works perfect for most schools, however; with the largest schools that will enter in over 200 different lines of information, it will be a long unessarily task.  Most of these schools already have the information that we solicit in an Excel file.  Is it possible for an end user of this form, using the adobe reader software to import excel data into the table?

    -Susann Wenzel

    It is possible, but you will find may be more difficult than what it's worth.

    1. you must manipulate the worksheet to make it look like a DB

    2. you must set up an ODBC connection on the system running the form and the worksheet...

    3. you would have to change to point to the worksheet from the definition

    4. you wish Reader the form using LiveCYcle Reader Extensions to allow the ODBC connection occurs in the drive.

    One possibility is to do the filtering on the physical level itself. You could use a physical table of type 'Select' and filter the data.

  • Help to import the data from the catalog to a text file (csv import, delimited by tabs, excel)

    Hi All-

    I was hitting my head on this one for a few days now. It seems that something that has probably been done before and should not be so difficult, but I found few cases of help in the documentation from Adobe (and researched a lot of google).

    I have a catalog of retail sale of 100 pages with approximately 1000 products in InDesign CS5. I have a spreadsheet excel with the names of products this year, prices and descriptions of update. Normally, we would go through one by one and cut and paste. This year, I thought I would try to skip this step. There are plugins that do this, but they are not cheap, and we are not big. Upgrade to CS5 of CS2 is a big investment in and of itself.

    ssp_temp_capture.jpg

    Here is an example of the data (I use a vertical bar as a separator character):

    28392779 | 3627 | Super top | Get a handle on the pleasure. Wrap the cord around the axis and s '. | 6½ "long
    | $10

    Then... standard excel file exported to a delimited format (I use OpenOffice to export in order to avoid the problem of excel citing darn close * everything *). In the InDesign file, we have a component of text for grouped each name, description, and price. The Group has a title of the product ID script and each field within the group is labelled accordingly (name, id, description). Thus, the Group: 3627, point: description (name or price).

    Pseudocode:

    Open the file

    Analyze the data in a table

    Scroll through the InDesign file group

    Check the script group label, look it up in the table, assign values to the fields

    Easy right?

    I'm not new to javascript, but it is not my tongue harder. With this effort, I had problems as simple as the syntax for the identification of the groups by their label. Anyway, here is the code (it is not pretty as the only way that I could not even run to scroll the table of data line by line and then scroll the entire InDesign file for each row of data. And, Yes, it takes about an hour to run--but it * is * run):

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    data var file = File("/Users/reddfoxx/Desktop/2010Sept8CatDesc.csv");
    DataFile.Open ("r");

    data var = datafile.read)

    data = data.split("\n");


    the data array is indexed from 0
    field 0 is the internal ID
    field 1 is the product ID
    field 2 is the name of the product
    zone 3 is the description
    field 4 are the dimensions
    zone 5 is the price

    for (x = 0; x < data.length; x ++) {}

    data [x] = data [x].split("|");


    for (var z = 0; z < myDocument.groups.count (); z ++) {}
    {If (myDocument.groups.item (z) .label == {data [x] [1])}
    myGroup = myDocument.groups.item (z);

    for (var y = 0; y < myGroup.textFrames.count (); y ++) {}
    If (myGroup.textFrames.item .label (y) == "name")
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [2];

    }



    If (myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .label = 'description')
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [3];
    }

    If (myGroup.textFrames.item .label (y) == 'dimensions')
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [4];
    }

    If (myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .label = 'price')
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [5];
    }


    }
    }
    }
    }

    For someone who is not familiar with the groups and scripts, unfortunately, you cannot process blocks of text within a group without using the group. At least, that's what I understand.

    Any help would be appreciated. Even just to find how to approach a particular in the document, so that I don't have to scroll through the entire file and do a comparison for each element would be a big improvement.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey!

    You have nice little problem here

    Well, unfortunately, InDesign CS5 is a bit heavy on the labels of script, there were some changes and other things. In CS4 and before, when you call pageItem.item (myItemName), you would get called from script, but in CS5, it has been changed, and now you get the element name that is in the layers palette. Now you can easily copy all the script tags, new place, and then it would be easy to access items by name of the element.

    This will copy all the labels current script name of the element:

    for(var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length; i++)
      app.activeDocument.allPageItems[i].name = app.activeDocument.allPageItems[i].label;
    

    Now, when you have all the names in place, you can access them like this:

    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("name").contents = data[x][2];
    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("description").contents = data[x][3];
    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("dimensions").contents = data[x][4];
    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("price").contents = data[x][5];
    

    I hope that helps!

  • Import Excel data into Dreamweaver

    Hello everyone, I'll try to be as descriptive as I can with what I want.

    In short: I would like to be able to have the date of importation of Dreamweaver (CS5) of cell A1 in the html code.

    More details: I have an ever-changing list of links that I would like the list to a Web site. And have auto update it in dreamweaver everytime I update the list in excel

    for example, I put in Dreamweaver < a href = "(insert)" > link 1 < /a >

    where see you (insert) I would like to be able to import the address of the link I have in cell a1 in my Excel spreadsheet.

    So overall I would like

    < a href = "(insertA1)" > link 1 < /a >

    < a href = "(insertA2)" > Link 2 < /a >

    < a href = "(insertA3)" > link 3 < /a >

    etc.

    How can I tell Dreamweaver to insert this single cell in the spot in html and then move on to the list of others the same way?

    I am a novice with html, css, so I use Dreamweaver for the first time to try to make this a little easier to follow.

    > Using a database that I would be able to choose certain sections of the list to be used by page

    Sure. Your table may contain a column that specifies what (category) page the link should appear on. Your request for this page would include a filter that returns only relevant links.

    > What would you suggest that I use to create data bases?

    You would use any DBMS provides your host. Most likely, this will be my MySQL.

  • Can you import excel data metadata to images (JPG, PSD, TIF) in bulk?

    I am very new to work with metadata. I have a microsoft excel file with fields IPTC Core, that I need for each file image.

    (Creator, title, Description, keywords, title, task identifier, line of credit, Source, rights and conditions of use, status of copyright and copyright notice)

    Is there a way to get the metadata in the files without having to copy from a cell in each metadata field individually?

    I'm hoping some type of script, perhaps...

    Furthermore, if only ONE of the required fields updated in all files (i.e. the rights and terms of use) what to do?

    I bridge 5.1 (and versions previous CS3/CS4)

    If you get a lot of formatting and garbage of Excel who causes an accident, you can first save your file as a delimited file and which allows to import into Dreamweaver using the same steps as import it tabular data.  These files are much cleaner and easier to import.

  • Rows in the table is empty when you import Excel

    Each month, I need to import Excel spreadsheets into an HTML page 'Nine', before you paste the part of the text in an existing page.

    Part of my procedure is to remove the outside (with data) lines on the worksheet prior to importation.  In design, the display, I import it seems to work and each resulting table has just the right number of lines. Then I do some find and replace, and copy the code I want in the existing page in Code view.

    When I change code mode, I find a lot of empty lines (with the same number of cells, such as active lines) in each set of active lines I pasted.  Because of the amount, withdrawal of these code view is time and frought with error (I could delete the active lines in the next game).  I think this artifact has started when I upgraded to CS5 in CS3.  Is there a way that I do not have these lines? If this isn't the case, could set the agenda so that the number of lines in code view corresponds to the number in design mode?
