• Import excel tables in InDesign and retain formulas

  Hello world

  I need to update the style and format of a bunch of old forms that were made in Excel, to match our new style guide. The problem is that many forms understand formulas... What can I do to make these in InDesign? And they will always be there if I create a PDF to fill out on-line that users can fill it with Adobe Reader?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help,.

  InDesign cannot read and/or analyse Excel formulas. Excel puts the formula in a cell and adds last result, and which is read by InDesign to plain text. It is rather the opposite: to get a 'formula' in ID, you will need to fit in plain text in Excel (once again, see you in ID in plain text).

  Nothing to fear: Excel is very bad in the formatting of the text; ID, on the other hand, excels in the present.

  Table styles have absolutely nothing to do with it. They are for tables formatting , not for the calculations. Moreover, these Table Styles are integrated into IDS since the CS2 version - last is CS4.

• Import Excel table in document Indesign CC?

  I'm working on a brochure that contains a class of 15 points program, dates, hours and fees. I created the table in Excel, but cannot find out how to import into my flyer as it is. I record from Excel in a collection of graphics, but when I "placed" in the circular he was totally out of table format / font I used, etc. So I need to know if there is a way to transfer the table for the flyer, maintaining all the elements.

• Linked excel tables in InDesign CS5 update problems and keep the formatting: need help

  I've been using excel to place several tables in my InDesign CS5 document which will require the update on a regular basis. The tables are already formatted in excel, so I will place in InDesign with formatting and you will usually have to reduce proportionally the tables as soon as they are in InDesign CS5. When I'll update the links, it is important the content of the tables as part of current text with larger text and I am unable to "Insert the picture content" or "shrink content proportionally." Nobody knows how to solve this problem or know of another way to link excel with formatting tables and update without having to reformat the table (i.e. to resize the image and text) every time that happens an update? Thank you!!

  Can't do it, sorry. Tables only.

• How to import excel table in pdf text fields

  I am trying to import an excel file / saved as 'Tab Delimited Text' to a PDF file with existing text files - I can get the 1st row of copy, but when I try to add the 2nd row, it changes all copy. Anyone know how I can add rows to copy in a pdf file? Maybe what I need to change the properties of the text field to?

  You can import a row of data at a time.

  If you want to create a new copy of the file for each line that is called mail merge and it can be reached by using some versions of the plugin PDF Maker in Word or Excel, or by using a script.

• VERY, VERY strange table import/excel/number - help please

  Hello

  I met a troubling problem when you import data tables in InDesign from Excel. This is the standard binder with named tabs. The value-"1.0" will not import into InDesign. he refuses. If manually, I go in the Excel file and change the cell containing the value of 'Number' to 'Text' it will be important, but it's not scalable or possible when monthly reports comes through and dozens of tables are automatically transmitted to.

  Is this a know bug? I can't find details online.

  Help?

  I need to import a simple Excel file in InDesign, but it must be free of error, what are the system requirements of InDesign and Excel?

  but it must be free of errors

  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!

  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.

• Exhibitor copy of Excel spreadsheet in InDesign table

  Hello

  I have a table in which I placed it in indesign in a table in excel format. However, I have problems with the format exposing only in the first column. It comes to my table in Excel, as you can see, the exponent in the cell 'pulse duration' is here.

  

  It comes to my table in InDesign:

  

  The exponent in the "pulse duration" cell has not copied on, however, the exponent in the next two columns copied.

  If anyone has an idea why this happened, it would be a great help!

  Thank you

  I understood the answer to this topic - cells were not copy exhibitors on were to the 'text' format in excel. Cells that brought more exhibitors have been shaped under the name of "general" in excellent. I formatted now all my excel sheet in the General form.

  Thanks for the help everyone!

• 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?

  Hello Terry,

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Export of Excel tables with hyperlinks in Muse

  Hello!

  I am trying to export an Excel table with hyperlinks added in Adobe Muse. I understand how to export tables using HTML - but when I do that, even if my table is here very well, my break links and does not work when I open them with Muse.

  Do not believe anyone has any ideas on how I can get this to work?

  Thank you! x

  Table text importer may break the style and links, you can save the spreadsheet as an HTML page and then paste the code in Muse.

  Thank you.
