I am currently working on a third party applications.Now there are some webpages where data are in Grid. So is it possible to read such grid contents from the webpage and stored it into the excel sheet?
Thanks
You don't need to do any programming. Excel has the ability to retreive data directly from HTML tables.

In short:
Go to The data tab
Click "from web"
Navigate to your page
Select the table of interest.
You can then refresh it by refreshing the data connection.
If you want to scrape it yourself then you can do it with all the tags you have used in your question. Just learn all those things and the answer will then be obvious.

I am trying to put a simple gallery on my app that is connected to excel through OneDrive. However, the connection can find the table in my spreadsheet but for some reason nothing is showing up.
As you can see, The table data is not there. When hovering over the table name in the formula, it says PowerApps didn't find any data. But there is very clearly data in the table.
In future refresh your data source in Power Apps Studio. It will start to display after that.
This happened to me using SharePoint as data source, and it wasn't data refresh issue. I've attempted to insert gallery in component, and it won't work. It worked in a separate non-component screen.
I am working on Sharepoint site that already exists and I need to create a new webpart dedicated for a certain form to complete, then I should use the answers collected from the form to produce a "result page". When I open the "Edit source" Or "Embeded code", I can easily use html or javascript to display whatever I want, my question is: In that script editor(snippet) can I use Sql as well?
As I said, I'm going to need some sql queries to extract the answers from the form.
Thank you in advance.
As far as I know, that is not possible.
If what you are doing is something like storing a form submission in a list and then displaying the result in a different page:
Create a form - using normal HTML/JS etc.
On submit button click - store the information in the list
Retrieve the information from the list using the ID(or any other criteria) on the results page and display it (again using HTML/JS)
Have a look at this JS library, which has SQL like syntax, for working within SharePoint:

While importing user stories with Tags column from spreadsheet, I run into issue that Tags cannot be imported.
Is there a way to do that using Rally excel-addin. The tags currently exist in Rally. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
It is currently not possible to import Tags using the Excel Add-in. You will need to add the Tags using the WebUI after the import. You can do this using Bulk-Edit:
Put a Custom List app on your dashboard or a custom page and set the
work item type to User Story.
Set the "show" parameter at the bottom left of the results to 200
(the maximum batch size).
Tick the select all checkbox at the upper right.
Click the gear icon next to any work item- this will return the Bulk
Actions menu.
From Bulk Actions choose "Tag...".
The Excel Add-in is currently undergoing a rewrite an this capability will, hopefully, be a part of the new version.
I'm currently trying to generate multiple forms in lotus notes via VBA in a specific database and send them for processing. Due to several notes scripts running when creating/processing the various forms, the only theoretical way that I can imagine this to work would be to have the user open a form, so that the VBA script can tell it to do copies through a button in the form (via the Windows API), then cycle through the open forms, fill them out and submit them one by one.
So far so good, but I'd need to be able to cycle through all the open forms in Notes in order to find the form I want to fill out and set is as active window. I can't seem to find any API that allows a user to go through all the open tabs in a notes window. Would anyone be able to help me on this one, please?
Many thanks in advance.
What you want to do is not possible. There is no way to "cycle" windows via code in Lotus Notes / IBM Notes.
Better turn around your processing: Instead of opening a form for editing just fill it in the backend. Then you don't need Windows API- calls and the Clipboard at all.
of course you can open the filled form afterwards to let the user fill in additional information, but this is not necessary at all as you can also save the document in backend.
I was wondering if anyone knows what a simplest way to create a data entry form in Sharepoint 2010 Foundation would be. Basicly I am looking to create a form that will submit its data to a custom list on the site, I don't want the users to interact with the list directly but use the form to enter data instead.
Also I can't use Designer or InfoPath, not being able to use these is what is causing the problem it seems. Just curious if anyone else has done something like this or could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Every list is born with forms by default - one for item creation, one for edition and one for displaying. If you use content types, then you get a trio of these for each different type.
You never interact with the list directly, you do it through these forms. If you can't use either Infopath nor Sharepoint Designer, you can still edit them by clicking on the Page tab, then the Edit Page button. From there you can add or remove web parts, and connect them among themselves.
However, the amount of control you have is too limited when compared to editing pages through either of the tools or mentioned, or Visual Studio. For example, there is no straightforward way to add or remove list fields based on content type. Be prepared for ever increasing frustration if you can't use those tools.
