path of excel file

Hello world

I am writing and reading data to an Excel (see code) file and it works but I need to specify the path of the script, and if I want to change the file I need to change the path of the code.

I would like to create a window that appears and prompts the user to choose the excel file it wants to work, copy the path and replace

'C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\DIAdem 2012\Documents\Constant Radius\USED\Test.xlsx' by this way.

I hope someone can give me a hand with this...

Thank you

Leo

Dim Excel, Excel Set = New Excel.Visible file = TRUE Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\DIAdem 2012\Documents\Constant Radius\USED\Test.xlsx") call a = Excel.ActiveSheet.Cells (1,1).

Hi Leillo,

I think that's what you're looking for:

DlgTitle = "insert a file dialog title here...". »
StartPath = ProgramDrv & "Examples\Data\".
FileExts = ' *.» XLSX, *. XLSX»
FileExts = "Excel files *.» XLSX; *. XLS '.
Call FileNameGet ("All", "FileRead", StartPath, FileExts, "No", True, DlgTitle)
IF DlgState = "IDCancel" THEN call AutoQuit
DataFilePath = FileDlgFileName
MsgBox DataFilePath

  • import different tables of different sheets of an excel file

    Hello

    The task is to get several (different) arrays that are in different sheets of an excel file. I tried to use the report generation tool, get Excel spreadsheet, Excel get the data functions. but the problem there is that Excel get worksheet function requires a contribution of report. but I only have an excel input file and I can't feed that. Y at - it an alternative to this?

    Simply create a report using the new report.  Wiring in the path to your Excel file as the 'template '.  In addition, make sure you have the report when you are finished with it.

  • How to: same excel file, same computer, different user accounts.

    I'm trying to access a single Excel file from the accounts of different users on the same computer.  I tried to share the Excel file, no luck.  I studied with a group residential, but which seems to be for different computers on a network home.  It comes from the same computer, the same Excel file with multiple user access.  Help

    Thanks for your help.  I tried to implement your suggestion, and most of the time, it worked.

    I followed the path OS (C> users > Public > Public Documents and was able to copy the document it.)

    I have it pinned to the taskbar and managed to get it back and make & save changes.

    When I copied it initially the path mentioned previously it had an identical copy in the following path: > libraries > Documents > Public Documents.

    Unfortunately, when I used the button "Save" it would save the file to the location of a second, but the pinned file would go to the original OS (C... way, then recover the original unedited version.)  It took me a while to understand this.

    If I do something wrong and you have any other advice, I'd appreciate it.  But, for now, this issue has been resolved and I will so indicate.

    Thank you once again

  • How to get data from an Excel file exist using report generation tools

    I try to use the Excel vi get the data of the report generation tool, but I can't understand how to activate a path can be explored in the right type for the VI.  I tried to use the new Report.vi, but this does not work unless you use a template.  It will not open an existing excel file and make an open report to extract data from.

    Essentially, I have a bunch of excel files that have data in them, and I want a VI allows to analyze the data.  I'm going to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so I don't have to reproscess them all in text so I can use the more standard datasheet live but to convert even the excel file programtically in labview I still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?

    I found my problem.  It turns out that only not to have had a problem with the tool box new report vi.  I had accidentally wired an input control of path of folder instead of an input control of path of file to it.  Changing the file type took care of her and I was able to access excel files, I tried using the new report VI to extract the file, and Excel Get Data to extract the data.

  • Behavior of the ADV change corrupt Excel File Types?

    I entered a strange state Excel.  I don't know how. ERGO, I don't know how to reverse the trend.

    All of a sudden, when I click on a file icon to open an Excel file with macros, I am invited twice to activate the macros (medium security).

    Specifically, if I start Excel (new book), add a dummy macro (Sub doit() / End Sub), and save Book1.xls, when I then click Book1.xls, I get two guests enable macro.

    I suspect that this began after I was experimenting with different Types of files advanced under Tools > Options for files in a folder.  I did not notice the problem then because I couldn't have clicked on a file icon for the Excel file with macros.

    Note: I think that the root cause, twice, opening the Excel file may exist even for files Excel without macros.  It simply may not be obvious without the enable macro prompt.

    Also note: I don't get the enable macro double guests when I open the file in Excel, for example by clicking on the name of the file in the list of recently opened files in Excel.

    Unfortunately, I do not know what that file type Advanced had my experiences.  Currently for XLS, they are:

    New:
    Action: ' "C:\...\EXCEL."» "EXE" / e/n %1
    The DDE message: [new ("%1")]

    Open:
    Action: ' "C\...\EXCEL."» EXE' / e '%1 '.
    The DDE message: [open ("%1")]

    It would not surprise me if the reference for %1 in the action line is redundant and root cause of the problem.  It does not appear in the line of action on another PC.  (Old Excel 2003 puts up-to-date and perhaps more older MSWin XP SP3 updates to date.)

    But if I try to delete the reference %1, XP (?) restored automatically, but without the quotes in the line of action "open".

    In other words, if I change the %1 and reference '%1', click OK, and then click on Edit again, %1 (without the quotes) reappears at the end of the two lines of action 'new' and 'open '.  The same is true if I close the file Options window, then re-open it.

    If I remove the double quotes in the "open" action line, I do not receive guests enable double-macro.  However, I get several errors when I click on the icon of the Book1.xls file in a Temp folder, namely:

    C:\Documents.xls is not found
    and.xls is not found
    Settings\Joe\My.xls is not found
    Documents\Temp\Book1.xls could not be found.

    Despite these errors, the Excel file is opened correctly.

    Note that the full path is "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\My Documents\Temp\Book1.xls".

    This brings me to two tentative conclusions:

    1. the double quotes around the %1 in the line of action are needed for a path with interstitial spaces can be interpreted correctly.

    2. the file is indeed open twice, once for %1 in the line of action and again for %1 in the DDE message.

    On this basis, the prompt enable double-macro is not surprising when %1 is replaced with '%1' in the line of action.

    I can work around the double-open by editing the DDE message for the 'open' action, leaving '%1' at the end of the line of action.

    But that changes the behavior to open two Excel files by clicking on their icons in file, namely: each file is opened in a separate instance of Excel instead of the same instance.  Ironically, it is the alternative behavior that I was experimenting with some days; and it might even be the behavior that I prefer.  I'm mulling over always pros and cons.  (Which I am fully aware of and need any help understanding.)

    But the point is: it wasn't always the case.

    So the question is: how to make (less intrusive) to restore Excel to its previous behavior, only enable macro prompt and probably open the file only once and when I click on file icon in a folder by opening multiple files within the same instance of Excel?

    I certainly want to avoid to uninstall and then reinstall Excel.  I also want to avoid going back to a recent restore Point, since I'm not sure what desirable changes, I could have done in the meantime.  I am not opposed to editing the registry, if someone can tell me exactly what change to make.

    (Change my macro security to avoid any incentive is also not a viable alternative.)

    No doubt, this could be a matter of Excel, is not a matter of XP.  I'll post a similar question to Excel answers appropriate Forum.  I don't like the multi-post; but I don't know how crosspost, which is even supported by the Forum of answers.  However, I wonder if a XP-savvy person could recognize and solve the problem more quickly than a generalist to Excel.

    I use Office Excel 2003 SP3, Excel 11.8169.8172 version, and MSWin XP Pro SP3 update 29/03/2009.

    I know I'm behind in updates.  But all I ask is to restore the system (XP or Excel) to a State that worked fine before.  'Before' what I can not say with certainty; but certainly some time in the last week or two, during which I did no major changes to the system other than experimenting with File Types.

    I _-u-me that XP or Excel update is not necessary, unless someone can point to a specific patch since the 29/03/2009, which solve my specific problem.

    Tushar Mehta wrote in the Excel forum:

    Maybe you can try - and I don't know if it will or won't work - Excel Help | Detect and repair... ability.

    While I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart and not without a lot of precautions, he does not seem to have done the trick.

    Advanced File Types have now been restored to what I expected, namely: Open action is now "C:\...\EXCEL. EXE/e"- no argument %1 - and the DDE message is [open("%1")].  By clicking on two ".xls" file icons results in both open in the same instance of Excel, the behavior of original product.

    The procedure is a bit irritating because, first of all, click on detect and repair in Excel Help resulted in warning to close all Office applications, including Excel.  Because I didn't know no other way to invoke the detect and repair command, I clicked on the option Ignore, which I was grateful for.

    Secondly, this operation has warned the Office installation CDROM may be needed, and indeed, it was necessary to complete the configuration of Office 2003.  That's troubling for me because I had never used the CDROM (Dell preinstalled the software), and I've had trouble finding even it since I had never unpacked boxes after a large home remodeling 3 (!) years.  (By wife hunted me for a year before she gives up on me.)

    Without the CDROM to installation, I couldn't run Excel; He has always tried to complete the configuration of office.  And in fact, it was something on the CDROM which corrects the shares of Advanced File Types.

    Now, I have to learn that rest to detect and repair could cancel.  I used the product for 5 years.  I have really no idea what settings I could have done for this period of time

    But it worked!

  • Function in the Apex that returns the path of a file?

    Hello

    I have a lot of files distributed across multiple servers.
    For the moment we handle them with an excel sheet. All links to these files are there.

    To improve the treatment, I would like to use my APEX Application instead of Excel.

    -> Files must remain on the servers-> no BLOB-download
    -> We need a collection of links to files
    -> The Oracle database A No. rights to access drives. HAS local access drives user rights.


    My goal: a button that makes:

    -When you press: open 'Open file' - window
    ((The user navigates and selects a file))
    -Display the link/path to the file in the P41_LINK_TO_FILE textfield
    -Save this link/path as new entry in my link (Finally, that I won't need help with this step ^^)


    If this button worked I can display these links in an interactive report and use the ' right click '->' save target as ' etc.


    Question:

    Is is possible to get this working "magic button"?
    I feel a little lost. Someone at - he words I could google?


    Thank you very much for reading!

    I have two news for you, a good and a bad...

    I managed to create a test page to simulate what I explained, but it turns out that, probably because of the usual 'security concerns', browsers are hiding the path of the actual file.
    If I use Firefox it will return only the name of the file, if I use Chrome, it returns something like C:\fakepath\filename (even though my browser runs on Mac...).
    After a search on the web for similar information, I understand that there is no solution due to javascript security restrictions.

    myTextFrame is not defined in your script.

    It works for me:

    myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
    var myExcelFile = new File ("~/Documents/idml/some file.xlsx");
    myTextFrame.place (myExcelFile);
    

    -When I select a text block, of course.

    To debug this, you can remove the try... catch statements because they're actually hiding the error now: InDesign can place the file, but the variable does not exist.

    Thankfully, I fell it many times before.
