I want to export data to excel.I also want to perform functionality like cell merge,cell border,text underline. But the exporting becomes slower if because of these alignment merge etc for large data. Here is a sample of excel which i do click here
I saw some articles relate to excel export using cell by cell export,using array to a range of cells etc.
Earlier i had problems with slow data export to an word file by using word object which is of about 25-35 pages.It was taking 1 to 2 mins.For this problem i used rtf file format without using word object by which i was able to export in some seconds.I used file I/O to write data.
So can i use similar kind of any excel file format aware methods which can export to excel faster with functions like cell merge , alignment,border etc ?

I have some codes in kdb+(which uses q) which generates data in tabular form. The problem is I need to run each line separately and export the data to excel. Is there any way to automate this such that all the excel files can ben generated in one go?
Thanks
Whils't you can of course use csv as suggested above, .h.edsn is the function used for creating excel workbooks. It takes a dictionary of sheetNames->tables.
`:/var/tmp/excel.xls 0: .h.edsn `tab1`tab2!(([]10?10);([]20?20))
Then just open the xls file in excel.
I worked on an export of data from an ERP to Excel but I encoutered a problem.
When I received my datas on my model Excel (.xlt, i don't have a choice for the extension...), all first spaces of fields in the ERP disappeared on my worksheet...
An exemple (Here, spaces before "Holder") :
And now, on excel, without spaces... :
And the last information, I think the problem is only on file type .xlt (97/03) (The only one I can use of course...) because when I try an export in .xls, there is no problem.
I already tried to change the type of cell in Text or Standard but it doesn't work.
Did you have a solution ?
Thanks !
Let me outline a typical solution:
You have a "data source" you cannot control - in this case it's an xlt file that somewhere on your hard drive - call it export1.xlt
You want to add the data from a data source (export1.xlt) to a "database" which could just be another aggregate spreadsheet or whatever. Let's call it database1.xlsx.
Typcially you would create a marcro inside database1.xlsx that knows how to import data into intself - in this case let's say you give a path e.g. C:\temp\export1.xlt and tell it to copy that data to Sheet1.
When you run that macro it will open export1.xlt, read the data into Sheet1 of database1.xlsx, and perform any necessary post-processing.
In this case the post processing could simply be looping over every cell to looking for a missing space.
I'm using VBA to create a series of charts in Excel and then copying them into a Word file.
Up till now I've been pasting the charts as pictures, so in Excel I used
ActiveChart.CopyPicture
and then in Word, after selecting the target location:Selection.Paste.
Now I want to change it so the charts will be editable but not linked to the source Excel file.
I copy a chart from Excel using ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copyand look at the paste-special options in Word, the options "use destination theme/keep source formatting & embed workbook" work fine for me:
the chart is editable (also the data is editable which I don't need but is OK) and there is no link to the original Excel file.
BUT - I can't find how to perform this through VBA code. Trying to record this in a macro only give me Selection.Paste - which pastes a linked chart.
I also tried a different approach - pasting a linked chart, and then killing the link. once again, deleting the links in the link editor doesn't get recorded in the macro at all.
Please help with coding any of these two options or suggesting a different approach.
The Range.PasteAndFormat method should work. This takes a WdRecoveryType Enum parameter that lets you specify what kind of result you want.
Selection.PasteAndFormat(wdChart) 'Enum value 14 in case of late binding
I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that uses some conditional formatting of cells. I would like to copy it into Writer as a table. The colours/formats of the cells should remain as they were due to the conditional formatting in Calc. Unfortunately when I do that, the formatting vanishes.
How can I copy it keeping the formatting?
Of course the Writer version no longer has to be conditional, but I need to keep current colours.
My work is done so eventually I can do the trick in Calc first (abandon the "conditional" part, and just preserve the formatting as - is). However due to amount of data I would prefer not to do it manually.
Is macro the only way to do that?
Use Insert -> Object -> OLE Object
Choose Create from file
Pick the right .ods file.
If you want to modify further (in my case - I need to create many tables from one spreadsheet as the original file is humongous - up to CL column) - do not tick "Link to the file" option.
After pressing OK, the spreadsheet is inserted as is (cloned and embedded), with the conditional formatting. Can be further modified (e.g. rows/cols can be deleted, hidden or whatever is needed). The conditional formatting remains active.
I personally prefer to copy as an image. This ensures the format is always exactly as it was in the spreadsheet and that no weird OLE/DDE links go wrong.
However, you specifically ask for a table. For that there are three (or 2.5) options:
Insert the entire as spreadsheet as an object. In Windows that can be done as Ister describes in his answer. This will be editable as an inline mini-sheet (Writer will invoke Calc for any editing actions).
Insert a part of the sheet as an object: Select what you want in the document, copy to the clipboard, go to Writer and select Edit->Paste Special. Then select the OLE option, or if on Linux, select "calc8". This will be editable as an inline mini-sheet.
Insert as HTML. This creates a standalone table. Formatting will not be 100% as in the sheet, as fonts, etc, will be reset by Writer, but it is a native Writer table that you can manipulate in Writer without invoking Calc. Colors, etc, are preserved.
If you use any of the object embedding options, you'll notice that formulae are kept intact (when not referring the data outside the pasted sheet or region). If you want all the data to be verbatim, then you need an intermediate step:
Select the data in your original sheet that you wish
Copy to the clipboard
Create a new sheet and place the cursor in the same spot as the first cell of the copied data (e.g. if your copied region is B4:X99, then place the cursor in B4 of the new sheet)
Select Edit->Paste Special
In the Paste Special window, check only the following options and click OK:
Text
Numbers
Date & Time
Formats
i am trying to take a cell range from excel and copy it to powerpoint2010. However I do not want to use the Embedded format but rather the KeepSourceFormatting one. I tried the following command
ActiveWindow.View.PasteSpecial DataType:=ppPasteOLEObject, Link:=msoFalse
but this still creates an object that launches excel to edit the contents.
basically I want to paste a table of formated data from excel to powerpoint and maintain its appearance but still be able to edit the contents in powerpoint.
any ideas?
There are following options for DataType:
ppPasteEnhancedMetafile which allows edition each of separate field of the table (rather pure solution)
ppPasteMetafilePicture similar option
ppPasteOLEObjectwhich you know
I can't see any other option.
