I've got a .aqz file that it's supposed to pull data from a platform and fetch that data into a Google Sheet, but have no idea how to run that type of file.
I tried opening it with Jupyter notebook by it's not compatible.
Does anyone know how to deal with those files?

How can I download all the input data from a kaggle kernel? For example this kernel: https://www.kaggle.com/davidmezzetti/cord-19-study-metadata-export.
Once you make a copy and have the option to edit, you have the ability to run the notebook and make changes.
One thing I have noticed is that anything that goes in the output directory is provided with an option of a download button next to the file icon. So I see that I can surely just read each and every file and write to the output but it seems like a waste.
Am I missing something here?
The notebook you list contains two data sources;
another notebook (https://www.kaggle.com/davidmezzetti/cord-19-analysis-with-sentence-embeddings)
and a dataset (https://www.kaggle.com/allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge)
You can use Kaggle's API to retrieve a kernel's output:
kaggle kernels output davidmezzetti/cord-19-analysis-with-sentence-embeddings
And to download dataset files:
kaggle datasets download allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge
Situation now:
I have a data warehouse job profile that publishes .txt file in Data folder every day in the morning. I open Tableau workbook which automatically updates data visualisations because of union I made. I save this workbook as extract and collages without Tableau Desktop can view it via Tableau Reader.
What I need:
This reporting format is heavily dependent on me and I need to automate this.
Is this even possible without Tableau Server?
Since Tableau Viewer can only use packaged workbooks with extracted data, you may not directly achieve this.
However, you may automate the packaging process using Tableau's command line parameters and the process will not be dependent on anyone anymore.
You may check the .PDF file on below link. Using that help document, you may create a .BAT file and get that .BAT file periodically started using Task Scheduler on your computer. The users then may open the packaged file from the network location you have saved. Or else (If all user computers have Tableau Desktop installed) you may put the file opening line at the end of the .BAT file, so the user can run the .BAT when they want to see the report.

Bernardo was correct in saying the Extract API can be used to programatically create extracts, and thus "refresh" an extract by simply recreating it (the point about Tableau Server is only relevant if you want to publish the extract that you create with the Extract API).
Where you might have trouble is that there is no currently supported way to programatically replace an extract within a .twbx file. That said, it should be possible to do this by simply renaming the .twbx to .zip (it is after all just an archive) and then using something like Python's zip module to manipulate the archive to replace the extract with your new extract.
NB: The Extract API can only be used to create .hyper files. If you want to work with .tde files, then you'll need to use the Tableau SDK instead
When I am running a Python Script in Colaboratory, it's running all previous code cell.
Is there any way by which previous cell state/output can be saved and I can directly run next cell after returning to the notebook.
The outputs of Colab cells shown in your browser are stored in notebook JSON saved to Drive. Those will persist.
If you want to save your Python variable state, you'll need to use something like pickle to save to a file and then save that file somewhere outside of the VM.
Of course, that's a bit a trouble. One way to make things easier is to use a FUSE filesystem to mount some persistant storage where you can easily save regular files but have them persist beyond the lifetime of the VM.
An example of using a Drive FUSE wrapper to do this is in this example notebook:
https://colab.research.google.com/notebook#fileId=1mhRDqCiFBL_Zy_LAcc9bM0Hqzd8BFQS3
This notebook shows the following:
Installing a Google Drive FUSE wrapper.
Authenticating and mounting a Google Drive backed filesystem.
Saving local Python variables using pickle as a file on Drive.
Loading the saved variables.
It'a a nope. As #Bob in this recent thread says: "VMs time out after a period of inactivity, so you'll want to structure your notebooks to install custom dependencies if needed."
I need to find a way to automate the process when a user uploads a microsoft project file to a web application I already have created. The process will need to basically use the save as from project to save into a .csv file so I can use this to import the data to an SQL database (this is needed for custom reporting we already have set up using SQL). I need to automate this process because I will be receiving tons of project files, and if the process is automated the users will then be able to instantly see results.
Basically, is there any way to create or run an automated process that will save these project files as .csv files? Even if the csv files are not formatted correctly, I can find a way around that, just need to first get them into .csv files.
Thank you.
edit - the only way i could think of this is to follow the instructions listed below, but
I would then need to automate a process to open the file and hit save so this works... any other suggestions?

edit 2 - also looking into ways using Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject but not finding any luck.
edit 3 0 now using mpxj - the only issue I am having is the following listed below. Converting their example to vb.
Private Shared Function ToEnumerable(ByVal javaCollection As Collection) As EnumerableCollection
Return New EnumerableCollection(javaCollection)
End Function
the error is with EnumberableCollection - visual studio is not picking it up as a valid type - anything I am doing wrong or should substitute?
If you aren't wedded to using MS Project itself to extract data from the project files, you could consider using the MPXJ library. This would allow you to write a simple utility to open the MPP files you are given, extract the data items you are interested in, and write them directly to your database (or an intermediate CSV file, as required). MPXJ comes in Java and .Net flavours, so you can use your preferred language to do the work.

I have an excel file which is auto generated by third party software..and its readonly file and its data constantly keep changing online.
now i want to use or read that data in my vb.net application whenever its changes take place in excel file automatically.
please help me..
Cody's right. No question, but I'm guessing you're looking to do something along these lines.
First, you'll need to pull down a copy of that XLS file (sounds like it's online at a website somewhere). To do that, you'll need to perform a pretty normal HTTP get or use whatever API the website provides to pull the file down.
Save the file locally, then open it and read it using EXCEL AUTOMATION. Just google excel automation for loads of examples of opening a worksheet file, reading cell values, and closing the file.
There's other options too such as the OpenXML api from Microsoft to allow you to read the contents of XLSX files directly without using excel automation, so that may be a possibility. not enough in the original post to know which would work best for you.
