Some information about Excel UDF(s)(?)


Recommended Posts

Good evening everybody :) How it's going? Hope it's everything fine :) Dear reader, I'm just looking for a tons information about Excel... Why? I hope to be largely clear as I can! Always, sorry for my English! But now, I'm gonna explain to you what I'm trying to do... I have an Excel file with 4 worksheet in it... Every worksheet is called in a different way ( in order, they are: "WR-ANALOG", "WR-DIG", "RD-ANALOG", "RD-DIG" ), and I have to work in different ways with each worksheet as well. From this Worksheet, I have to retrieve some information, and, maybe, if possible, skip the rows where a cell of a specific column is blank. I'll give you an example in a moment. By the way, for now, I managed to create a GUI from which I choose the file, I open the object Excel, and I read from the worksheet I selected... But know, I have to store this "reading" somewhere... I used the _Excel_Range_Read() and it works fine, but it doesn't skip blank rows, and, in my project, I want to create a new Excel file, in which store the $sResult returned by the function. After copied, created a new Excel file and pasted the result I retrieved, I have to "Find and replace" some things... How can I do it? I'll give you all you need, but please, help me. In fact, things I have to do are:
- copy rows ( neither every column of the row, but just some specifics ) and possibly, skip rows where a cell of a specific column is blank;
- create a file and paste the result I got from some function;
- Find and Replace values I retrieved with parameters I give from GUI;
- save the file I've created.


Thanks everyone for the help. Have a good day. Francesco

Shouldn't be too hard.
About how many rows do we talk?

Not over 1000 rows... I was looking at the VBA properties about Excel... So, can you help me out water? Thank you :) If only AutoIt does classes, I would join instantly ( in Italy :D )

Let's check task by task.
Copy rows:
Use _Excel_RangeRead to read all cells of a worksheet into an array, then loop through the array and copy all needed cells except where a cell of a specific column is blank to another array. When done copy this new array to a new worksheet or workbook by using _Excel_RangeWrite.

How can I access the element "column", and, in specific, the cell of that column? Take the example of $sResult = _ExcelRangeRead()... It returns an array... How can I set a condition to verify that a specific cell of a specific column is blank? How $sResult is composed? I.E. $sResult(0)(1)... Thank you for the reply water :)

Excel numbers the columns starting with 1 (column "A"), AutoIt starts with an index of 0.
So if you would need to check column 3 ("C" ) for a blank value you would need to check index 2 in AutoIt:

$aResult = _ExcelRangeRead()
For $i = 0 to UBound($aResult) - 1
    If $aResult[$i][2] = "" Then ... 
Next

Ahahahah! For a moment I have been like " :o , an Italian on this forum?", and then "Nah, fu xD".
Thanks for the reply by the way. 
Now I'm working with the Excel file I'd have used since I started this project, and because of this, I had to change the arrangement of my program, so... Now, this is the source code I'm working on, and, this is the Excel file I'm working with. Thanks anyone for the help! 

 

The problem I'm having is that _ArrayDisplay doesn't return anything! I can explain what I need, maybe you can help more specifically.

 

PS: Please, use the file I've uploaded just for your own. Don't publish it on any website or blog or anything else. That file contains important work references. Thank you.

It seems there are other problems.

I cant get your excel file to show any data. whether opening via script or just opening outright it is an empty excel object without any sheets.

I tested this with one of my own excel docs and I get an array.

Be careful with such files. The content of this forum gets indexed by Google etc. 

I would delete the file as soon as possible.
