I have to create a word file that has about 300 pages containing stats for about 400 different statistical indicators. It has to be updated on a monthly basis
The file is populated using data from an excel spreadsheet.
Is it possible to put links to the spreadsheet in the word document so that the I can update the spreadsheet and have the word document automatically update itself?
I have used the function = now() to have the most updated time but it updates a workbook when I open it in the first place. How I can avoid this?

simple Formula used to bring results are =[Book1]Sheet1!$A1
I have an Excel 2010 workbook that is fairly slow to open (10-15 secs) because it is rather formula heavy. This workbook is opened by quite a few different people every day. What I would like to do is to open the file overnight using windows Task Scheduler and to update the file (using a workbook open event macro) and then for the rest of that day whenever the file is opened the formulas do not update until overnight the next day (and so on and so on).
I thought maybe toggling the Calculation Manual off/on? Would this be the best tactic?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with hyperlinks to various file types (PDFs, Docs, etc.). Is there any way that I can have the hyperlinks update themselves automatically when I move one of those files to another location?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this is an easy one but it's unfortunately beyond me. I have a update links formula in which I would like for it to update with the name of the file being in a cell. Example:
The file name is Week20.xls
Cell A1 has the value of Week20.xls using a formula (="Week" & A2 & ".xls")
Currently I have it by looking at the actual file location like this: ='C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsWeekly Sales6 Sales Comparisons[Week20.xls]Daily Comparisons'!$I$4
But rather then pointing directly to the file path I want it to update by the name of the file in A1. So I'm sure its something as simple as replacing [Week20.xls] with some formula but I don't know what that one is.
I had copied a macro from this forum [it was posted by either shg or NBVC], and I modified it to fit my needs. The macro creates a new word document and sends a series of cells from an excel worksheet column to this word file. Everything works fine, but now I need to insert a picture after row 14. I have inserted the code [colored red], but I am sure the syntax or something isn't right. That part doesn't work.

I'm trying to automate a redundant task. I have several Word files in one central folder. I need to open each file, remove all paragraph marks (via find/replace all), copy the result, and paste it into an Excel sheet. This process will be repeated for each file in the folder.
The code I have is almost there, however, I can't get it to do the find/replace. Below is an extract of my code for the Word application part. The code for the copy and paste will be inserted after the replace action works:
Dim Wapp As Object
Dim i As Integer
WorksheetsLocation = TextBox1.Value ' this is the folder location brought in from an input box
On Error Resume Next
Set wApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number 0 Then 'Word isn't already running
Set wApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If

I have one workbook with data linked to another CSV file (It's about 40000rows). When I open the workbook, "THis workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated." message appears and asks me to open csv file if I wanna to update (although I set full path for links in cells). I wonder if there's any way to update link without opening csv file? Or Excel can not update link without openning the resource file?
I have used the directions below (from this site) to add a name to a validated cell and have that name added to a list. The issue I am trying to solve is this, when opening a new file from the template containing the code below the new file needs to have the range to which I'm refering updated to the range that was in the last opened file from the template. I tried by using a macro to copy and paste the range to an external wb that was hidden and then copy and paste to the new file opened from the template but it was a mess.
If anyone can help by posting some example code to steer me in the right direction I would be very grateful
1. Add any list of names or items to the range A1:A10 on any sheet.
2.Now in cell A11 enter this formula and copy it down to say row 20. =IF( COUNTIF($A$1:A10,$D$1),"x",$D$1) Note the relative reference of A10
3.Go to Insert>Name-define and in the Names in workbook: box type:MyName
4.In the Refers to: box enter this formula: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A:$A,"<>x"),1)
5.Click Add then Ok.
6. Select Cell D1 and go to Data> Validation, select List from the Allow: box and in the Source: box type: =MyNames Ensure the In-cell dropdown box is checked.
7.Click the Error Alert page tab and uncheck the Show error alert after invalid data is entered box. Now click Ok.
8.Right click on the sheet name tab and select View Code in here paste the code below:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("MyNames") = Range("MyNames").Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
9.Click the top right X to get back to Excel and now Save.
Now select cell D1 and type in any name, that is NOT part of the list, and Enter. Select D1 again and look at the list. The new name should now be part of it!
I would like to attach a pdf (or word) file inside an Excel sheet so that it is seen as a pdf icon or word icon when viewing the sheet. Any of you who knows if this is possible and how to do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOur client uses an Excel spreadsheet that we provide to adjudicate/comment on our delivered products (primarily documents and reports). The spreadsheet has columns for:
DefectCode, SectionPage, Comment, FinalDisposition, FinalComment.
At the end of the process of client meetings and revisions, we must generate an MS Word-formatted report. I've written a macro to parse the comments and columns and generate a mostly-formatted Word document. What's missing are the corporate headers, footers, logos -- the standard template or basic document stuff that all of the details would fill in. For now, I auto-gen a Word document and merge it by hand into the corporate template.
So my question is: if I want to "include" a corporate Word template with the spreadsheet, can I bundle it with the workbook somehow or must it always remain a separate file?
My current thinking is that since a *.xlsm file is really a ZIP file underneath, could I store the Word template there where it would effectively be hidden from the user? Or what is the best way to bundle an extra file like this with my workbook app?
I have an Excel sheet with a long list of data. A short example is shown below:
Section | Title | Item
1 | INTRODUCTION | a
1.1 | title2 | b
1.2 | title3 | c
1.2.1 | title4 | d
1.2.2 | title5 | e
I made a VBA macro in Excel that runs through this list and creates a new Word file for each item. The filename of the document is based on the data in the Excel file (section and title). Now I would like to add a custom property to each of the newly created Word files, i.e. the value in the 'item' column. Does anyone of you know how I should do this? Or should it be better if I write a macro in Word that runs through the Excel data to create the word files? Here is the code I use to generate the word files:
I need to pull out data from a word file(can open in excel 2003) which has several different rows with data in a certain format each time.
I want to take the data from sheet #1 in the format
________
where the underline always equals an 8 digit number that directly follows that unique text(no spaces)
and pull out all the 8 digit numbers from the sheet and put them into sheet #2 that my macro creates.
Also the additional rub is that I need to pull only the unique 8 digit numbers as there will be several repeats.
I've added an word object to my excel sheet as an icon. The only problem is that it shows the word icon then under it says 'Microsoft Word Document'. This might be an obvious and silly question. But how do I Rename the 'Microsoft Word Document' to a title of my choice?

Im trying to use excel as part of an real time display system, what im looking to do is after xx time period import some data (which is fine, I have that bit sorted), then save to as html- (hopefully using excel 07 abilty to repubish data to update the same file with more info).
I have added some Javascript to the html file to auto scroll, and then will be adding a refresh script which should hopefully update the display with any new info genrated from excel...
so far I have found the following code, but could do with a hand to tie it all up!
Code:
Public Sub Watchon()
State = "Mointoring Folder..."
Timerun = Now() + TimeValue("00:10:00")
Application.OnTime Timerun, "DetectNewFiles"
Userform1.Nextupdate.Caption = ">Next Update will be @: (" & Timerun & ")"
With ActiveWorkbook.PublishObjects.Add(xlSourceSheet, _
[code]....
Then within DetectNewFiles Sub, I need to update the html data, I guess I can't reuse the above bit, as it would just overwirte the whole file (and so remove javascripts too).
Code:
Sub DetectNewFiles
'Some code to import text files to excel
With ActiveWorkbook.PublishObjects("Book1_24990")
.Publish (False)
.AutoRepublish = True
End With
Some code to reset next time update of DetectNewFiles
I have an Excel 2003 workbook (named TargetWorkbook.xls) with some links to a CSV file called DataSource.csv. I use Excel 2007 to open the workbook. I checked the "Update links to other documents" option under the "When Calculating this workbook..." section on the Advanced pane of the Excel Options window. I unchecked the "Ask to update automatic links" option under the "General" section on the Advanced pane of the Excel Options window. I selected the "Don't display the alert and update links" option on the Startup Prompt dialog (accessed from the Edit Links dialog) I created a simple Auto_Open macro with the following statements:
Sub Auto_Open()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:ProjectsExcelTestDataSource.csv", ReadOnly:=True
Worksheets("DataSource").Activate
Workbooks("TargetWorkbook.xls").Activate
Windows("DataSource.csv").Visible = xlVeryHiidden
End Sub
The DataSource.csv file is updated daily. I want the cells of TargetWorkbook.xls to automatically update from the csv file when I open TargetWorkbooks.xls without displaying a prompt. I plan to deploy this workbook to a server and open it programatically via a Windows Service (I know, I know, Microsoft doesn't encourage this)and can't have it throwing up a user dialog.
Here is the problem: When I open TargetWorkbook.xls manually using Excel 2007, it updates the links but throws up the dialog "This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated...". When I click on the "Edit Links..." button, it displays the message "Warning: Open source to update values". When I click the "Check status" button for this link, it says "Source is open". How do I prevent this dialog box from poping up? I've been wrestling with this for a few
days now and can't find a solution.
I have one workbook which when a macro is run, creates a new workbook. I am trying to then get this new workbook to have both "ReadOnly" and "Hidden" status. but when I use Set attr it only picks up one.
I need to be able to turn of the readonly status and update the file and then re protect it.
