• Table linked Excel. Points between thousands.

  I have a linked Excel file that displays the points between thousands and a comma for decimals.

  This is how it is supposed to be; I work a Nordic language.

  However when I place columns of the Excel file as links in InDesign points convert commas and vice versa.

  I thought InDesign was supposed to preserve the formatting of bound data, but it's not.

  What should I do to correct this?

  Steve fairbairn says:

  Thank you, but I do not know if this solves the problem, unless it can be script. Because if not, this means any time to update the Excel file all these manual corrections get wiped out and I have to redo them everywhere.

  Fact \d indicate a number only? Of course, there are a lot of ordinary commas in the body of the text that I don't want to change.

  You must run it whenever you update the document. \d show only numbers. Try the grep search and you will see how it works.

  It can easily be scripted and added to the script that you already use. Post your cell phone embedded script in the InDesign Scripting sub-forum, and we will help you.

  But what I really want to do is to prevent the points converted to commas in the first place.

  I agree. But it seems that Excel-import InDesign is not customizable like that, or designed for internationalization.

• 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.

• Limit the size of tables in excel

  Hi everyone, I'm trying to export a table to excel and I am having trouble.

  First of all, I used 'Write to worksheet File.vi' to create a file .xls and has perfectly worked, but now I need to export a table to another sheet of the same xls file (whose name we should be able to choose), so I started to use ActiveX controls.

  I can create the new worksheet with the desired name and write the data into it, but the problem is that it does not show my table only, but also ALL the cells (65536 x VI) with the value # n/a.

  I can solve the problem in one of the dimensions, but not in both entities. This is the first time I use the ActiveX functions (I built this VI with the help of other examples I found in the forum), so I think I'm missing something important.

  What can I do to not show THAT my table?

  Thank you very much for your time and knowledge.

  In addition, you close twice the _Workbook reference, thus generating an error. Here's how to do it. The neck line to Format.vi beach is drawn from here.

• How to import a table of excel data in my site with DW CC?

  Hello!

  Im trying to insert a table of Excel data in my site, but when I do, the information are delivered with a large number of dirty codes making my Dreamweaver CC accident...

  I'm using File - Import - tabular data.

  Thank you

  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.

• Are the paths of the PDF to Excel converter available?

  I have a PDF file consisting of hundreds of pages that I have to match existing records from County Government. The source of data, we subscribe to, allows you to copy and use the information that we need. Making a record is both totally impassable. I can make comparisons in minutes to paste the data into an Excel worksheet.

  The page box text fields that are not aligned, so PDF sock lines and columns is more problamatic.

  I work for a local government agency and have to involve our Department 'IT '. The $ $80 for the PDF to Excel converter is in our budget, but we need to know if the application is suitable for this type of page.

  Can I send a page from the file to get a notice, or perhaps to use a trial version of the converter if available?

  I hope that this fall on friendly ears... Y at - it help?

  There is no test available ExportPDF service.  There is a 30 day return policy.  If you subscribe for a reason, and some are not satisfied, you can request a full refund.

• CS_SRS. WKTEXT generated value is being generated by commas instead points

  I could disable the trigger CS_SRS and update the value in the hand, but is it the right way?

  Hello Rui,

  to disable triggers, according to me, is not a good solution. You must solve the problem for the insert statement. Please have look more closely at the NLS settings during your session when you do the insert. I had good experiences to set the NLS parameter to the American environment. You should be able to influence the outcome of integration by setting the nls_numeric_characters ',' (set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ','.) and make the Insert with this settings. The setting can be changed for the current session only, so it doesn' influence other processes in your instance. After insertion, you can reset the setting, or simply close the session.

• How to convert comma-separate-channel digital-table?

  Hello

  My 34401 returns 200 values in a string with this format:

  -1.42979706E-03,+4.46900451E-03,-8.48235088E-04,-2.17539596E-03,-1.34144462E-03,+4.50590958E-03,-9.78340028E-04,-2.31519575E-03,-1.10844497E-03,+4.70200416E-03,-9.83187455E-04,-2.45499555E-03...

  If the numbers are separated by commas and doubles have a point.

  How can I now move that these values in an array of double?

  Thanks for the help

  Hi OnlyOne,

  Be aware that you have configured your computer incorrectly you use German/East Europe locale with "," as decimal separator and try to convert the measurement data using the '. ' instead...

  Well, try a format string of "%.; %f"- and read the help for the format strings!"

  When the different format string also fails, you can try this:

  

• Link excel after update table

  I create a link in my InDesign doc to an excel book, pulling in cells 5ish containing a calculated value.

  The excel table turns and InDesign detects a change as usual.

  However, when I update the link of just content disappears. If I re - place a fresh link data display correctly until the next change again.

  No idea how I can solve this problem?

  After a further search, I found this thread Re: InDesign does not correctly import the .xlsx. Any idea is welcome!

  I found that no import "formatted".xlsx did not work as expected.

  I decided to re - save my workbook .xls that matters much better in InDesign

  This method has solved my problem.

• Two problems of report generation Excel on the decimal point

  Hello good people, I have a problem when you try to generate an Excel report, please see the image below:

  Note that excel removes the decimal separator in the case of the number is > 1 (so that 1 000 becomes 1000) and if the number is<1, excel="" interprets="" it="" as="" a="" text="" string="" (excel="" say="" something="" like="" "the="" number="" in="" this="" cell="" is="" formated="" as="" text,="" or="" is="" preceded="" by="" an="" apostrophe").="" how="" to="" get="" rid="" of="" these="" problems?="" i="" would="" like="" an="" integer="" to="" appear="" as="" the="" same="" integer="" in="" excel,="" and="" any="" number="" less="" than="" one="" to="" be="" interpreted="" as="" a="">

  Thank you very much in advance!

  If I disable the comma localized for this VI, do you think I'll be able to use it as a Subvi without changing the decimal separator of the VI calling parameters?

  My Excel also prefers with a floating point numbers, but I do not understand why numbers lower than that will not be treated as numbers right away?

  Hello OscarJ,

  Unfortunately the position of the decimal point is global, so call VI is affected, too.

  But there are other possible solutions: you can convert your double array in an array of strings. Conversion functions 'number in string' to disable the explicitly localized comma:

  

  Now, you can add text to your report.

  Your excel seems to interpret "," so that thousands separator and '.' as the decimal separator, so the incorrect number conversion. It seems a little odd since you say he prefers ',' as the decimal separator... There may be something to do with the office report generation tool.

• Link Excel to InDesign

  We are currently trying to 'automate' a process at work and I'm looking for a way to link a spreadsheet Excel in InDesign (or any product Adobe also), but we need in a unique way, and I'm having a hard time finding answers on how or if this is possible.

  

  The image above is an example page of what we need. We have companies that come to us for estimates or quotes, and an another spreadsheet excel file is created for each company. We need to tell InDesign (or any program) to automatically link to a spreadsheet and it shoots cell C7 to complete when indicated, C8 to fill place indicated and so on. Thus, it is not as a merger and mailing or to link an Excel file that we want to update when the excel file is updated. We have very specific information that we need in some places. Any suggestions of how we can go about automating this process somehow using the Adobe Suite?

  I'm sorry if my first answer was terse and seemingly contrary to your specfication of "is not as a merge and merge."

  I still think that the fusion of data is your best bet, with a fusion of one record.

  You have to structure your spreadsheet such that all the fields are in the same line (you may need a new worksheet in the same workbook). But this isn't a problem. Then you export this spreadsheet to CSV/TSV.

  Then, you can configure the data against a single file merge and also long names of fields of domain names are identical, you can change the Data Source and you will get new data. Why this solution is annoying? Yes, you must save as Excel and InDesign does not "autoupdate", but he does ' t look like these are the feature you need anyway.

  There is also an XML-based solution. You can mark text with XML tags, and then you can save Excel to Excel XML. Then, you can use an XML translation tool (XSLT, for example) to convert the spreadsheet AS XML in an XML formatted for InDesign, with fields appropriate tag the same tags you used in InDesign. Then you can import the XML file and the data will be inserted in the fields.

  Third, there is the solution of pure script. A script that puts the Excel file in InDesign as a table (because it's the only portable way to read data from an Excel in InDesign; while in Windows, you can use VBA to talk to Excel and read the data and I guess you could do something with Applescript as well, but it would be less clean) then reads the selected table cells and put them in different blocks of text that are marked with script tags indicating that they are getting the data of various cells. There is more development work and could possibly give a smoother workflow, but it seems worth on the solution of merge data.

  I guess the fourth solution is a plugin. I'm not aware of a plugin that takes care of this particular problem, but as it is degenerated to a data merge, it is probably also the degenerate case of a catalog such as a cataloguing as EmData plugin or smart catalog can help out you. But it seems like waaaay overkill and it cost 3 digits (and more).

• Fill table from excel or another source

  What is the best way to populate a table from an existing Word or Excel file? I'm looking at a long list with name, address, telephone, Web site fields and as to avoid drag / drop or entering the hand. The file should be saved as a comma or tab separated ascii?  Can someone point me in the right direction?
  
  Thank you

  Yes, export to CSV and then import using Insert--> Table--> tabular data.

• Several tables to excel file

  Hello

  I get this error when writing two different tables for the same excel file. I think the problem is that the excel file must be closed to be written the new. But I am unable to use the narrow leader because he is not a refnum. Should I use the notifier? If Yes please tell me how to thank you.

  In your VI, you have two instances of "Easy Excel Table.vi" that will run in parallel. This is likely to cause a conflict, because as we open and written on the worksheet, the second will also try to open the same spreadsheet and write at the same time. You must apply a sequential operation in order to ensure that the second simple Excel table can operate only when the first has been completed. The easiest way to do this in your VI is over the error of the first VI on the second VI error, so the second can run only after the first ended.

  Secondly, the second VI also has a function of "New Report.vi", pointing to the same file, so there is a good possibility that this will overwrite your changes. You say there is no reference to the excel file, but in fact there. The right upper bound of the first easy table Excel vi is the report's reference. The wire that directly in the Terminal to the second function Excel easy table report and get rid of the new Report.vi.
