How do I import data from Excel

Here's a problem I don't know how to solve.

I have a file, InDesign (a price list) in which a text column contains only the price.

Because prices are constantly changing, and because they must be converted into other currencies I need to be able to link the numbers in an Excel file.

Is this possible and what is the easiest way?

For example, how can I specify the column in the Excel file that is linked?

The vertical spacing of prices is not always equal - there are often empty lines.

The Excel file needs to have the same white lines or is there an automatic way to InDesign to recognize the data and distribute it correctly?

Here is a picture to show what I got. The price column is highlighted.

This is how it works with links. Formatting returns to what exists in the worksheet unless you use the Table Styles (and I don't remember when they were introduced, but I'm not sure you have) in CS3. To avoid having to reformat, make the formatting in Excel.

  • Import data from Excel

    Is it possible to import data from Excel into a pdf form.

    I have some text on a form fields that need to be filled automatically.

    Thanks in advance.

    : )

    To manually import from Excel, the simplest method is to first convert a spreadsheet to a tabs-delimited text file. The first line of the sheet must be the exact field names (case matters) corresponding to the data in the following lines.

    In Acrobat 9, you can import a row of data from the file by selecting: forms > manage form data > import data...

    and select the file, then one row of data in the file.

    If you want to do it automatically or by any other non-manual method, post again and provide more information.

  • Import data from Excel in PDF with Acrobat Pro XI - is it possible? How?

I need to know the answers to my questions by January 28, 2016.

    Hi shannonr80675036,

    Yes, but you there are two things you need to do in Excel for this to work:

    Columns must be named the same as the field names in the PDF form. The names that you use in your PDF form, or you must change the names of fields in the PDF form so that they correspond to the column names in Excel, you can either match. In this example, I took the first approach and used the field names as my column headings:

    When you export your data to Excel file, you must select the "Tab Delimited Text" format. It is one of the export options in Excel (and other spread sheet applications) which is available when you select file > save as:

    Once you have your tabs-delimited text file, open your PDF form, and then select Tools > forms > more form Options and click Import:

    In the file dialog box, select this option to import a text file, browse to your exported text file and select it. In the next screen, you can then choose what import record, you can import only one record at a time:

    This will complete the PDF form with the selected values:

    That, for each record you have in your Excel file and save the PDF file under a new name.

  • Automatically import data from excel file

    Hi guys,.

    Is it possible to make a batch / script that can extract data from an excel sheet? I have a spreadsheet with two columns, one with a photo ID and a column with the name of specific individuals (who is in the picture of course).

    So is it possible to make a script that does something like this:

    1. open an image with a unique number, for example. 0001.jpg

    2. search for 0001.jpg in the excel data and automatically remove the name of the excel worksheet data and paste this into a text layer in photoshop

    3. save this image with the same unique number in another directory

    I google it for decades, but unfortunately I can not find!

    Thank you

  • How do I import data from Peoplesoft

    Hello

    How can I implement the ability to provide actual figures of peoplesoft?

    Can I do this using HIA?

    Thank you!

    You can use the EIAS for this if the data Essbase (drawn from PeopleSoft) was staged in a star schema. Don't forget that EIS gets very fussy about the format of the star schema, especially if you want to support drill-through of Essbase to relational data (in the star schema).

    Most of my clients simply write a routine extracted (using PL/SQL or another underlying method takes care of data bases) that extracts data from PeopleSoft and stages the data to a text file or in a relational table. Then, create you a rule to load and load the data directly into Essbase. It's much more simple and much more common than the EIS/Star diagram method. Most people use only EIS if relational drill-through is necessary, or if they're building a lot of cubes "disposable" out of the same star schema.

  • How can I import data from history, including the time of the on-site visit?

    When I opened my "History" tab, I can then select in the left column, for example "in the course of the last seven days' and then select 'Copy' in the tab 'organize '. But when I paste it into an Excel worksheet, the only information that appears is the Web site. Is it possible to import also the column "date of visit?

    You will need to use an extension like SQLite Manager to export history to CSV.

    You can add more columns if necessary.

  • The most effective way to import data from Excel in InDesign?

    Hi all

    I'm designing for a prospectus of college which includes 400 + courses list. For the moment, these lists exist as a huge Excel sheet with fields such as course type, course code, description, etc.

    I am familiar with Excel data import in InDesign and the tables/creation of table styles and other formatting, but the problem I have is that the data are in several columns by courses in the Excel worksheet, but will be in a single column per course with several lines in the InDesign document. I can't find a way to easily convert these columns in lines.

    Someone can help me with an effective way to get the data in the page layout without laborious copying and pasting or formatting?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Import data from Excel - I won't be as final result table

    Hello!

    Import XLS data discussed a lot already. I don't want to create a table, but I need to import text for executives of related texts prepared in the entire document.

    Take a look at the IMG below. There are about 300 such cells. Photo and textframe, below. I have the XLS file with all the info. And I need this information should be asked that {green in the IMG} linked text frames. Is the only solution to copy > switch to the window of identification-> paste > remove redundant paragraphs > switch to the Excel window? It would take a thousand clicks of mouse and keystrokes...

    The structure of my textframe looks like this {Ulm has been typed manually}:

    I can't import the Excel table when I wan to create tables of ID. But I have just a bunch of textfields...

    Thank you!

    Maybe it's a job to merge data or a commercial catalogue of plugin, but the merged celss are going to be a real problem, I think. Exporting to a file text to Excel and palcing just can also work, with the same caveat about merged cells and the likely need to use find/replace to remove tabs.

  • How do I import data from XMP in Lightroom (from ACDSee)

    I have a lot of photos managed by ACDSee Pro. I want to switch to Lightroom. Sides of the picture in ACDSee are stored in XMP embedded in a field named 'Rating. " It contains the values from 1 to 5.

    So if I give up ACDSee, I won't lose the sides I asked tens of thousands of photos - they are already incorporated in my photos.

    But of course I want to take the scope of XMP and copy it to the equivalent in Lightroom.

    Can someone advise me if Lightroom can do?

    Or tell me the name of the field and the equivalent values (1 to 5) that are used by Lightroom? Because if Lightroom can't make the copy and import, that I can use EXIFtool (I'm a Windows user).

    Another question: maintained by Lightroom are also the same as sides created in Photoshop Elements?

    If I can get my ratings in Lightroom, I can leave the POS is ACDSee Pro.

    Thanks for your help.

    A Google search revels that ACDSee wrote his side in XMP:Rating: ACDSee Pro 4 build 237 - Release Notes - Support - ACD Systems.

  • Import data from a spreadsheet on the web to the Numbers worksheet

    How can I import data from a spreadsheet on the net in a Numbers spreadsheet, keeping its original format? It is not a problem when you use Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice spreadsheet and had no problem when I was with Appleworks6. When I try in number, however, the data which is along a line on the original worksheet comes to the bottom of the left column, which is completely useless.

    copy the line then pasted in numbers (command C and V command) has always worked well.

    The line of values must be copied from a continuous row of cells.

    If you provide a link to a spreadsheet, I can test it on my machine.
