I am trying to pass information from an ssrs report to an excel spreadsheet. What I want to accomplish is clicking a link in an ssrs report that opens up an excel spreadsheet, but also populates a cell in that excel spreadsheet with a value from the ssrs report where it was opened from.
I have achieved opening the excel spreadsheet file from the ssrs report by adding an action to a textbox and using the Go to URL Action
=Fields!True_Path.Value & "\" & Fields!DOCUMENT_ID.Value
However, i want to pass the value of the textbox itself to the excel spread sheet. Is this possible? If so how could one accomplish this task? Any methods / suggestions are welcome!
Yes, you can create a macro enabled workbook and pass the value in a parameter. In your SSRS report, you will use a formula or variable. The format would look like this.
Server\ShareFolder\TheWorkbook.xlsm" /e/myParam
There is a great response to how to pass parameters to excel in the Office Microsoft Forums. You can find it here

I have tried
ChosenOutputMethod := CustomLayoutReporting.GetExcelOption;
on the report but when I press preview, it doesn't export to excel. I want to achieve so that every time when run, the report is exported in excel document.
I want it to be in the report itself as of report 116 customer statement.
I don't want to use SAVEASEXCEL function
I'm afraid it's possible only using SAVEASEXCEL. Any reason why you don't want to use it?
You can also use the Excel Buffer to create reports in Excel directly.
Cheers
You need to press Print -> Microsoft Excel button.

Greeting!
I am attempting to use excel vba to extract a dynamic hyperlink from OR use excel vba to open the dynamic hyperlink in a worksheet. I am able to click the hyperlink and it will open up correctly. So far, I am not able to find any relevant information pertaining to how to extract the URL the hyperlink is pointing to or simply open the hyperlink.
Here is the formula that is used to build the dynamic hyperlink based on a model selection.
=IFERROR(HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(S.O.P.!$D$3,Models!$C$2:$G$296,4,FALSE), "Click Here to Open Box Label"), "Unable to retrieve part information")
So based on a selection the user makes this formula goes and finds the respective link that will be used to create the hyperlink.
What I want: Using a button - open the file(PDF) to allow the users to easily print the files they need from one button. I am trying to minimize human touches to eliminate the possibility for human errors.
I have also attempted to record a macro to open up the link, but it only takes me to the worksheet that the hyperlink is placed in.
Here are links to other post that were not able to resolve my issue, but provided good information...
Excel VBA Get hyperlink address of specific cell
Extract URL From Excel Hyperlink Formula
Thank you, I look forward to some helpful responses c:
let me know if I need to elaborate or clarify anything!
Any reason you cant run the vlookup in VBA. Then you will have the link address as a string which you can then do what you want with:
Sub GetLink()
Dim ReturnedAddress As String
ReturnedAddress = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("S.O.P.").Range("D3"), ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Models").Range("C2:G296"), 4, 0)
end sub
I have an excel macro that sets Cells to an external location.
Range(NamedReference) = "='http://webaddress/ExcelSheet.xlsx'!NamedReference
Other cells use that location to calculate new values.
"A1" = NamedReference + 1
The problem is that I need to read the new calculated values back into the macro to export data, but the external link has not yet been calculated to any value. It is a #NAME? until the macro is done running. Is there any way to force excel to get those values during the macro run time?
I have tried a variety of things including
Calculate
CalculateFull
Any help would be appreciated. My current solution is to just close the macro on error and have the user re run the macro, but it is really kludgey.
**Edit: Forgot equals sign in formula
You could try
ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:=ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
See on MSDN
Via VB.Net, is there any way to access the AutoSum feature that Excel has? I have a spreadsheet that I create and populate via a datatable using my application. I know how to sum based upon a predefined range (e.g., .cells(cnt + 1, 21).Formula = "=Sum(U3:U" & cnt & ")") but is there any way that I can just call a cell in my worksheet and have it AutoSum as if I was clicking the AutoSum button in Excel for that row? This would save me a lot of coding time based upon the logic my spreadsheet is going to need. Thanks for any help.
So are you trying to put the result of the sum of the complete row in the cells? Or do you want to put the formula "autosum" on the excel?
Either way you can do it by selecting that particular cell and then typing in the corresponding command on the value or formula field of that cell.
