NeoWats Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 As you can see I'm new to the forum, but I have used Autoit for nearly two years for various work. My current problem is this: I have a customer who sends me specs in an excel spreadsheet. It's always the same spreadsheet, the only difference is that they will hide the rows that don't effect the project that they want completed. I'm working on automating the process, but I can't tell if a row is hidden, which is restricting some of the automation. Any ideas on how to work around this?
Zibit Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 this requires some file writing. you have to open the file in plain text and find out the hidden tag and make ur script search them.

water Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 That's easy Let's say column "A" is hidden. This code returns true if the column is hidden. #include <excel.au3> $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("C:\temp\test.xls") ConsoleWrite($oExcel.Range("A1").EntireColumn.Hidden & @CRLF) _ExcelBookClose($oExcel) My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs: Active Directory (NEW 2024-07-28 - Version 1.6.3.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki ExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts OutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki OutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - Download Outlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki PowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki Task Scheduler (2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs: Excel - Example Scripts - Wiki Word - Wiki Tutorials: ADO - Wiki WebDriver - Wiki
SeF Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Alternative: #include <Excel.au3> Global Const $xlCellTypeConstants = 2 Global Const $xlCellTypeVisible = 12 $oExcel = _ExcelBookAttach("Test.xls", "filename") $VisibleOnly = $oExcel.Application.Cells.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeConstants).SpecialCells($xlCellTypeVisible).Address(False, False) $VisibleOnly will be the position from all the cells that contains value and are visible.
