Office Automation :: Call A Spreadsheet Dependent On The Day Of The Week?
Sep 16, 2011I have a slight problem , using vb 2008 i have written some code that checks the current datetime on the computer. This gives me the answer in the format mon, tues etc. what i now want to do is to use that to call a spreadsheet dependent on the day of the week. here is my code so far
Code:
Dim TIME As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim FORMAT As String = " ddd "
TextBox1.Text = TIME.ToString(FORMAT)
[Code]....
Now i have tried the private sub eg SATS() on a separate button and it works perfectly . so it appears to be that the sub is not been called. I think it is probably a syntax where the datetime answer is not been recognised, in that textbox1.text = "sat" is not the same as datetime = sat .

View 1 RepliesOffice Automation :: Excel Worksheet.PageSetup.ChartSize Property Error
Jul 23, 2009I've automated quite a bit with excel and every so often one of these really annoying glitches pops up.I'm using Office 2003, all with latest service packs and everything, and basically I usually end up creating a lot of applications which automate excel, processing database information and exporting it etc, etc, etc.
I currently have finalized this most recent export process, which exports a moderately sized table into excel for the user to work with, but I wanted to adjust the printing area appropriately.SO, I set the PrintArea to the A1:K47 string, I set the FittoPagesTall/Wide to 1 and the Orientation to Landscape, and all of this is perfectly functional from my 2008 .Net 3.5 application. But in the open application window of the file i'm automatically creating, the page divider lines still show 4 pages of data. Now, I said to myself, i know that in the Page Setup Dialog I can set "Fit to Page" and it automatically adjusts the zoom factor (scaling) to fit the print area onto 1x1 pages.
The only property in the WorkSheet.PageSetup that appears to do this is the ChartSize property, but when I step over that line in the Application I'm debugging, I get the Exception:"Unable to set the ChartSize property of the PageSetup class"Now the only thing i've seen online about this error from Microsoft says it could occur when a printer isn't installed. That is not the case here.
I further looked up in the property and it said something about only being applied to "Chart Sheets" but when I try to use the workbook.worksheets.add() method witht the Type set to xlChart I get a com object disconnected from RCW error.NOw, I can manually go into the Page Setup Properties for the Excel Worksheet, and set the "FIt to Page" there, so How can I forcibly automate this exact same process without having to open the Excel APplicaiton.
Office Automation :: Use Common Worksheet Functions Found In Excel 2003?
May 3, 2010I'm trying to use common Worksheet functions found in Excel 2003 (average, standard deviation, etc) from within VS 2008. See thinned down sample code below:
Code:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
When ran it returns "New cannot be used on an interface". Removing "New" returns "'WorksheetFunction' is a type in 'Excel' and cannot be used as an expression."
I've added a reference to the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel library v11.0.0.0, which I'm using in other places in the code with no complaints.

Feb 14, 2009It appears that when one creates an instance of Excel, using CreateObject, (Late binding), the suggested Excel closing function (with GC.collect etc) does not work. I have tried several suggestions, and the only one that works is process.kill method. Do you see any problem in using this? BTW: the reason we are using late binding is that we cannot use Office PIAs....not sure which version of Office would be installed on the client site. We work with O2003, but the client might still be at 2000 or 2002.

Office Automation :: Excel 2003 Automation With VB 2005 Express?
Apr 20, 2010Ok basically what I need to do is the following:Read FirstExcelDoc (attached)For every row in that: Retrieve data from sql server db based on info in the Orange columns of FirstExcelDoc Let's say I retrieved data elements A, B, C, D, and E from sql server. Then I need to enter those same data elements A, B, and C in another excel spreadsheet (which has formulas etc) After inputing A, B, and C in that spreadsheet, read a couple of calculated fields and compare those results to data elements D and E retrieved originally from SQL Server DB. Finally, output the results in the Blue columns of the FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet for that row.Loop through and do the same thing for row 2 of the FirstExcelDoc and keep on until you see "END TEST" in the FirstExcelDoc.
I'm looking for a method of doing this efficiently. I have read several articles over the past few days as well as those from Mike R. but just need some direction to get started on this.To start of I'm looking for whether to read the entire FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet or just read the info for first policy number(2nd row) and process it and write out the blue column info for that row and then loop through and come back and read the second policy number (3rd row) etc... Please attach a code snippet for either way of reading the data.
Office Automation :: Orphan Excel Process Started Via Automation
Jun 17, 2009I'm using excel via interop in application.Sometimes users kill application that created excel instance and that results in excel instance sitting in memory without any chance of disposing it.First I tried to tackle this using ROT(running object table) looks like not all instances of excel are registered there.Than I tried to somehow mark excel process after it is started via interop.[code]This works as long as excel is visible but in my case excel window is invisible.All I need is to somehow mark process that started via automation with the parent PID, so that later I can kill it if parent does not exist.

Office Automation :: Excel Automation Causing: Rpc_e_serverfault
Jun 1, 2010We have a vb program which is run on our server by scheduled task every day. The program opens about 30 excel files, refreshes the data connections, pivot tables and then saves the document in another location.
This may run fine for a couple days but sooner or later the process starts crashing, usually with this error: RPC_E_SERVERFAULT.
My question is, Is it expected that continually opening/closing/refreshing workbooks will inevitably cause the Excel object to crash at some point.
Office Automation :: MultiThreading In MS Office 2007 (Excel, Outlook, Etc)?
Mar 28, 2011i was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type

Office Automation :: .net Automation Excel App Not Closing
Sep 25, 2009I'm having an issue where my excel.exe process doesn't close until I close my .net application. I'd like to avoid using Process.Kill() if at all possible.
Code:
Private Sub WriteRowsToXls(ByVal rows As DataRowCollection, ByVal xlsPath As String, ByVal showStatus As Boolean, Optional ByVal AddTotals As Boolean = True)
Dim xlsApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
[CODE]............
This method references a couple of other methods I use for repeated formatting tasks, I'll include those methods below. (I added the FinalReleaseComObject into the other methods after reading Mike's thread but the issue persists)
Code:
Private Sub SetRangeValidation(ByVal rng As Range)
With rng.Validation
.Delete()
[CODE]..............
Method SetRangeAllBorders does about the same as these other methods but my post is too long to add it. The only other things not shown in these code snippets are a few string variable that are defined in the class, studentWS, studentsWSPW, paymentsWS and paymentsWSPW My App creates an instance of the class, loads some data, runs the method above, and then sets the class to nothing.

View 1 RepliesExport DataSet To Existing Excel Worksheet
Nov 4, 2010VB2005. I have several DataSets that I create or grab from an external source. One example is
Dim sql As String = "SELECT TOP 30 * FROM myTable" & vbCrLf & _
"WHERE Area='YY' AND CarNum='734EP' " & _
"ORDER BY ProcDate ASC;"
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, myOLEDBconn)
'create a dataset and fill it with the returned data.
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds, "MyData")
Once I have these DataSets I then have to pump them into a specific worksheet in an existing Excel2007 workbook. The connection and interaction with Excel and the workbook/worksheet is already established and that works. But I am stuck in exporting the DataSets
into the specific worksheet.
Note that I have already scoured the web and MS Community site and all code that I have found so far iterates through each and every row and column of the DataSet and then adds that to the worksheet in a cell by cell manner. This is fine and in testing that works. But there has got to be a better way to do this. For even a moderate sized DataSet the exporting just takes a long time. 25 records with 15 columns takes about 10 to 15 seconds.
I've also been experimenting with some scratch code I found that converts the DataSet to an ADODB Recordset and then uses the xlwksht.Cells.CopyFromRecordset function to export it in one fell swoop. I haven't got this one to work just right but it seems in the end it also does an iteration through each and every record and field to convert to the ADODB recordset.
