I see that there's a method for updating a linked Chart in a Slide (RefreshSheetsChartRequest), but in my presentation I have Tables pasted in from Google Sheets that are linked to data in a spreadsheet. I can update these manually by clicking the update buttons in the Slides UI, but is there a way to use the API to update all the linked tables in a sheet programmatically?
The feature request for refresh()'ing tables has been sitting for about 20 months now. Nevertheless, I found this workaround from the feature request on the issuetracker page:
"If anyone is reading this who wants the feature, one solution is to create a "table chart" in your sheet, from your existing table (that you were trying to link/update). It doesn't allow you to copy and paste from Sheets to Slides, but within Slides if you go to Insert -> Chart -> From Spreadsheet, then choose your sheet and chart (table). You can then use app scripts to automatically update it, as you can with a chart." - From ad...#lovecrafts.com
Hope this helps !

I want to create a server action "Duplicate" that will copy a selected Quality Worksheet and its template design. I know how to create server actions, but I'm not sure if its possible to write its python code that will copy the template design.
So far I've been able to create a server action that will copy a selected row and create a new Quality Worksheet entry, but it has the default, blank template design
I would like to create an Action Plan section within my PowerPoint presentation based on customer selections from various slides in presentation mode. I would like to present the topic slide and have the ability to select 1 or more items from it and once through each topic slide, copy and paste their selections beginning with the topic, followed by their selection. I have attached images of the PowerPoint. Slides 2 - 4 are topic slide examples, each containing a few comments to select from. Slide 5 is the Action Plan slide that captures their selections and is an example of what I am hoping for. I made an attempt at the coding, but failed horribly.
Removing my question. Will revise it and submit along with my coding attempt.
So I copy a table in Excel > Paste Special > Paste Link > Hit OK and my table shows in my PPT slide
If I right click on my table, I can click update link, which will update the slide to reflect any changes in the spreadsheet
Problem is, the Excel table changes automatically, several times every hour, I can't be hitting the update link every time, any way to make the slide update automatically either if changes occur in the Excel table or every 2-3 minutes would work too? Using Excel and PPT 2013 by the way
Thanks in advance
Yes, there is a way:
ActivePresentation.UpdateLinks
will update all the links in your presentation.
Of course, if you have a specific presentation in mind, you can use that one instead of ActivePresentation.
However, I don't know any way to update links one-by-one without side effects. You could use
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb wdOLEVerbPrimary
but this will open Excel Applications or Workbooks and there is no good way of Closing them and Hiding them while they are being used.
So I'm using Tableau 10 and Tableau server. I don't have direct control over the server side of things. But I have full control over the tableau dashboard.
My Issue:
Users need to download the data from workbooks. When they go to one particular workbook the option to download the data is not available:
They can however download it using the tool tips - but to download the entire data set in one go, they'd need to use the option button above.
Tableau server settings:
These look like they are fine. I also have another workbook in this area and that one does not experience this problem.
I am "Publisher" and my boss is "Owner" - she can see it but I can't. All of this suggests it's a workbook setting?! But where?!?

Once a user clicks into a sheet of your dashboard, the Data or Crosstab selections of the Download button will be activated. It is greyed out on dashboards because there could be multiple sheets.
One trick is to make a dedicated download sheet and upload it with the rest of your dashboard. If you upload just a sheet, then all selections on the Download button are available without the user needing to click into anything.
On a published dashboard, if you click on a worksheet on the dashboard, the download links become available. This will avoid the need to upload the worksheet separately.
In the past, I have used Tableau, another Data Visualization tool just like Qlikview where I could link a selection on a table or graph (or really an worksheet on a dashboard) to another dashboard by setting a source and destination dashboard/sheet. I did this using 'Action Filters'.
I am trying to do the same thing in Qlikview where I want to link two dashboards and transfer the selection in the source dashboard as a filter to the destination dashboard. Any idea if this is possible? And if yes, how can I implement this?
If you are using a trigger, say, on a button which opens a new QlikView Document, there are options to transfer state. This will carry over your current selection criteria. However, the fields in the destination document must have the same name.
See button properties -> Actions -> Add -> Action type external: Open QlikView Document. You will return to the Actions tab with options available to the newly added action.
Try to solve it with the data-model behind these two dashboard. If they use the same data resp. the data-tables are connected this works out of the box in QlikView because of the so called associative data-model in QlikView.
No need to connect the dashboards manually, zero configuration ...
