Which connects InDesign template with excel data

I have a pretty weird that I start.

I need to make a model of design with different data fields.  There will be about 100 pages total.  The data of these text fields is stored in Excel files.  I know that I can just copy and paste the information from one to the other, but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow dynamic link between the text field in the spreadsheet so that, if the data changes in excel it automatically updates in the indesign file.

Or is there another solution out there somehow since excellent data link to a model?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Damon

Yes, the answer is in your preferences. Create link when you place text files or a spreadsheet. Wording is perhaps not right because I don't have InDesign not open right now.

  • Fill the InDesign document with external data?

    Hi all, I hope that I ask this question in the correct forum. I'm assuming that it is a problem of script, but if not, I apologize. Anyway - wonder if this is possible and, if so, if someone could point me in the general direction of more information:

    My company occasionally asked to produce directories of employee containing information (photos, contact information, education information, etc.) on different segments of the population closes - for example, a directory can include all women of color, we can include everyone in the Los Angeles Office, etc.. I would like to find a way to 'model' it in InDesign so that the relevant info can circulate in the external data source document - for example, database SQL of the HR or perhaps a spreadsheet generated from this database. I know that we are currently able to do something similar by using Word, but the final product looks like crap.

    I don't know what that would be even called in InDesign, so any information will be greatly appreciated. I use the CS5 version. Thank you!

    I could do this by using the data merge feature. It is similar to the functionality of fusion and mail merge in word. There is a great video of how it works here: http://www.theindesigner.com/blog/episode-43-data-merge-video

    There are more complex ways using XML or the third party plug-ins, but I would try this method first.

  • Graph of the Excel data with overlay of dynamic data acquisition

    Hi all

    I was next to the forum of Labview for about a year, it's the same with my programming so I'm a little rusty. I don't have someone code this for me, but just a quick plan high level to point me in the right direction.  I am able to work through the tutorials Excel etc.

    Task 1: Basically, I have a set of data Excel (2 to 6 columns of figures, not the time) I want to read in Labview and throw in a XY graph as the base model that remains visible all the time.  This data set is quite long, length vs. size (length is 100km, 1 m intervals). I essentially want a scroll X graph to display all of the data.

    Task 2: Acquire a direct serial data string which will be superimposed on the graph of task 1 model. Acquired essentially data comparing data in real time to previously.

    In the past, I made the simple projects with Excel data reading and also the reading of data in series.  What I'm not clear on is how to create the (static) graph with Excel data model while superimposing live data as it comes.  It is the basis of an annual check of the investigation process.

    Advice on the process would be appreciated so I'll be working through the nuts and bolts.

    Cheers for any help,
    Wes

    If you are worried that your data sets is too large, then run a test with simulated data to see how LV takes it. You might be surprised. In all cases, you should be aware that the chart control will need to redraw it with any changes you do anyway, and as far as I know, having a large amount of data is the main thing that can make a slow chart control. If you find that you have too much data, you might need to decimate it you based on how much you zoom before putting it in the graph.

  • Fill in the data in an Excel template (with pre-defined formulas) Oracle

    Hello

    Anyone know how I can fill (with PL/SQL) Oracle data in an Excel template (with pre-defined formulas)? I mean that the user provides the Excel model so I just transfer the data from Oracle in particular cells in the worksheet. The model can be large and can become 50 pages long.

    Thank you.
    Andy

    So, you want an Oracle process or a process of APEX to take an existing Excel file and simply plug data into it? What I would say is instead, you export your data out and into your writing Excel VBA code file to take you input file and treat it accordingly.

  • InDesign CS4 Excel data merge on the master page problem

    Hi all

    I had the following problem with an automated data merge document. He reads only the first row of cells in the document. That's what I did.

    Examples of data

    Excel

    Colum A Cel A1: Articlenummer

    Cel A2 12345

    Cel A3 5465

    Colum B Cel B1 Description

    Cel B2 Test 1

    Cel B3 Test 2

    Barcode Colum C Cel C1

    Cel C2 90000

    Cel C3 900001

    On the master page, I made a layout with the folling containers. The diagram below is for 1 item.

    Text for Articlenummer container

    Contatiner text for Description

    For the barcode text container

    I copied the three containers on the page which resulted in the master page with 40 containers for each item.

    I went data merge and connected the TXT document to the first set of containers. InDesign reads the data and place it correctly. But Indesign doenst copy the data in the row of the cell in the following sets of containters. If I connect the document to the next set of containers that indesign don't bed that the data of the first line of the cell which results in a document that contains only the same data.

    Somehelp with that does

    Best regards

    Phillip

    I suspect what happens, that's what I described in my previous post, PARAGRAPH:

    «Indesign takes what he considers a "record" what on the page, that is from the top left to the bottom right of the page, any indesign objects can enter it considers only a record.»

    It's a little hard to explain so I'll demonstrate in images using a simple merge

    If the finished merger looks like

    but, if a chart is placed on the same page (whether the page master or not, doesn't matter) this is where things can go wrong

    but this is easily seen in the preview

    so, when you perform a merge of data with multiple records, the data of the variable must be treated separately to static data (items that will be on every page as a background, or in this example, the smiley face).

    If the merger on a master page, static elements must be on a master page above and variable must be on a master BASED ON the static captain.

    If the merger on a standard page, static elements must be on the master page. The advantage with fusion on a master page is that data remain linked. The downside is that a page can contain variable data in the merged file.

    hope it makes sense.

  • 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

    Maria

    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.

  • Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

    Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

    My hardware:

    I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

    The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

    I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

    My Situation:

    I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

    Help with the data store and network:

    I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

    I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

    Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

    I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

    Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

    You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

    Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

    RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

    You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

    Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

    UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

  • Problems with the data connection

    Hello
    I bought a Z3 Compact Xperia on December 10, 2014. I live in Italy and I use Vodafone as my everyday.
    I got a SIM card replacement nano with LtE capabilities just to get the phone in the new fast network. The problem I encounter is that, since on January 13, 2015, I had some problems with the data in mode 3 G connection.
    So far, I used my phone normally, then I tried to send a text message with WhatsApp and phone stuck with the clock icon in the lower corner of the bubble of the message. I thought it was a temporary network problem but I'm not sure about this.
    I live in a small town where the coverage is really good, either in 3G and LTE. I tend to use the 3G because it uses less battery and it does not affect my 4G data plan.
    Th issue, it's that if I do a speedtest when I feel that network glitch I have a ping, but with very good download speeds up to 2000ms.
    The problem is that I believe that this is not a network problem because my mother has a phone HtC One S and runs vodafone without problem even when I'm having the glitch.
    I tried to reset the phone to factory settings, but it did not help.
    In LTE / 4G I do not experience this issue. In fact, I think if there is problem need a phone related software because the antenna works very well.
    If it doesn't I'll try to contact ad Vodsfone then I'll send my phone for the helpdesk if Vodafone tell me that the question is not on their network.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's pretty strange, double check the APN settings and contact EE in this regard.

  • Install PT8.53 with Linux problem: unable connect in Bootstrap Mode of Data Mover

    People,

    Hello. I install PeopleTools 8,53 Internet Architecture. Server database is the database Oracle 11 GR 1 material. Operating system is Oracle Linux 5.

    I installed successfully JDK7, WebLogic Tuxedo 11 GR 1 material and PeopleTools 8,53 10.3.6, in Oracle Linux 5.

    I've been setting up PeopleTools 8,53 Instance database. Because the Wizard installation problem, I created PeopleTools 8,53 Database Instance PT853 manually. I have run the following scripts:

    (1) utlspace.sql

    (2) dbowner.sql

    (3) psadmin.sql

    (4) psroles.sql

    (5) connect.sql

    Then, we perform Data Mover script in a Windows XP Client computer to fill the PeopleTools PT853 database machine Linux Sever instance. I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine and run it successfully.

    In Oracle Linux 5 Server Machine Net Manager:

    Service name: PT853

    Connection type: default database

    "TCP/IP Protocol".

    Host: 192.168.196.102

    Port: 1521

    Listener: LISTENER

    Protocol: TCP/IP

    Host: 192.168.196.102

    Port: 1521

    I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.

    In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same as below:

    NET Service Name: PT853

    Protocol: TCP/IP

    The host of the database Machine name: 192.168.196.102

    Port: 1521

    Name of the Basic Service: PT853

    Connection type: default database

    I test the connection using 'SYSADM' and it is successful as well. This means that Windows XP database Client can connect with the server database Oracle Linux 5 successfully. But in the computer Windows XP Client, Data Mover cannot connect in Bootstrap Mode using "SYSADM". Its details are below:

    Configuration manager:

    Type of database: Oracle

    The database name: PT853

    User ID: SYSADM

    Connect ID: people

    Connect password: people

    Data Mover:

    Type of database: Oracle

    User ID: SYSADM

    Password: SYSADM

    When connect in Bootstrap Mode of Data Mover, I got the same error:

    ORA - 12154:TNS: can not resolve the connect identifier specified. Invalid user ID and password for the access code.

    Based on my understanding, in the Oracle database, the Data Mover Bootstrap mode connection requires a PSDBOWNER table with a 'Database name PT853 and UserID SYSADM' entry.

    The problem is that the PSDBOWNER table doesn't have a line after that I run 5 scripts above. I am looking at runs 5 scripts one by one as below:

    (1) running the utlspace.sql script creates spaces of table 2 (PSTEMP, PSDEFAULT). This script can not create 2 storage spaces. So, I created 2 tablespaces manually.

    (2) running the psdbowner.sql script creates the PSDBOWNER table. This script creates the PSDBOWNER table successfully, but the last line by pressing "connect system/manager", had this error: user not valid Word name and pass. logon denied. I ignore this error and continue the following script.

    (3) running the psroles.sql script created the roles PSUSER and PSADMIN. This script runs successfully without error.

    (4) running the psadmin.sql script creates ownerID SYSADM and ownerID password SYSADM. When this script runs the last line 'connect system/manager', had this error: user not valid Word name and pass. logon denied. I ignore this error and continue the following script.

    (5) running the connect.sql script creates connectID 'people' and connect password "people." This script runs successfully without error.

    My questions are:

    First of all, in the database Oracle Linux 5 server machine, when I created the instance of database PT853 using DBCA, on the management of the password for the user 'system', I unlocked it and change his password for 'system '. It causes the scripts 'psdbowner.sql' and 'psadmin.sql' got the error "username and password"? If so, how to fix?

    Second, after you run 5 scripts above, why there is no line in the table for Data Mover Bootstrap PSDBOWNER to open a session? How to solve this problem?

    Thirdly, can I just insert a line 'PT853 SYSADM' into the table PSDBOWNER for Data Mover Bootstrap to open a session?

    Thanks in advance.

    By default, the password of the population is peop1e.

    Once more, you shouldn't do anything 'manually' on the database, scripts do everything for you. Unless something is wrong.

    > When this script runs the last line 'connect system/manager', had this error: user not valid Word name and pass. logon denied. I ignore this error and continue the following script.

    I really wonder why ignore the error. This meant everything that your system password is not responsible, but something else that you set when creating the database. Never happens to you to check the script before you run it and change it if necessary?

  • Problems with the data merge

    I created a file in excel with 966 lines all in column A. I have saved as a txt file and created an Indesign document with 966 pages.

    In the InDesign file, I put in place a text box with the font and size, I wanted then he centered in the document. When I do the merging of data in the master page shows only the text of row 2 in every single text box on each page.

    I tried searching and tried the other boxes and do not master pages. Why can't I get my text to display in the order in all pages?

    If I send someone with screenshots or call someone for a step by step which would be very useful.

    Thank you

    Peter

    Line 2 is selected, because the first row should be used as a header that describes the content.

    With regard to the merger itself, you have no need create a 966-page document. Create a document 1 page with your domain in place, and then perform the merge. InD will create automatically 966 pages, or as many as it takes to use all the data. If you want all in the same document, I wouldn't put the merge field in the master page, but on the page of the document instead.
