How to use Real-time data in Excel


 Share

Recommended Posts

i use this code to open Excel and read data to clipboard

but my excel is linked to SQL sever (refresh 1 min)

when i use the code to open and get data , it is'not real time data (that's last save)

$sFilePath1 = @ScriptDir & "\TEP.HD#1.xlsx" ;This file should already exist
$oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen($sFilePath1,@SW_MAXIMIZE)
_ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, 2)
_ExcelBookSave($oExcel)
_ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel, @ScriptDir &"\TEP.HD#1.xlsx","xlsx",0,1)

so i use the script to open and overwrite it , but the result is the same !!

How can i get the real time data :sorcerer:

Does the Excel file access and query the SQL server right now? Do you just need to refresh the query?

If you manually open the Excel worksheet do you get a popup asking if linked data should be refreshed?

Can't you just query the SQL engine directly yourself instead?

This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available). An absolute must have in your bookmarks.
Another excellent RegExp tutorial. Don't forget downloading your copy of up-to-date pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe here
RegExp tutorial: enough to get started
PCRE v8.33 regexp documentation latest available release and currently implemented in AutoIt beta.

SQLitespeed is another feature-rich premier SQLite manager (includes import/export). Well worth a try.
SQLite Expert (freeware Personal Edition or payware Pro version) is a very useful SQLite database manager.
An excellent eBook covering almost every aspect of SQLite3: a must-read for anyone doing serious work.

I would be very interested to solve this problem with AutoIt.

I'm about to rewrite the Excel UDF and I think everything you can do manually should be possible to do with AutoIt.

I think it is just a problem with the parameters for the Workbooks.Open method.

For download please check my signature. Please be aware that the ExcelEX UDF is in an early alpha state!

The functions are similar to the Excel UDF and come with help files and examples. The function prefix changed from _Excel to _Excel_ (note the underscore) and some function names have changed.

If you have questions I will be glad to help.

The ExcelEX UDF is complete different comapred to the "old" Excel UDF. Example: Every script has to start with _Excel_Open.

Please have a look at the example scripts (e.g. _Excel_BookOpen) that come with the UDF. Nevertheless function _Excel_BookOpen has to be modified too.

Replace line

Local $oWorkbook = $oExcel.Workbooks.Open($sFilePath, Default, $bReadOnly, Default, $sPassword, $sWritePassword)
with
Local $oWorkbook = $oExcel.Workbooks.Open($sFilePath, 3, $bReadOnly, Default, $sPassword, $sWritePassword)
