I wrote I simple Excel Script which works online pretty well, but if I use the same Script with Power Automate I get an error.
Here ist the Script:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook)
{
let sheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
let range = sheet.getUsedRange();
let rows = range.getRowCount();
let cols = range.getColumnCount();
for (let row = 2; row <= rows; row++) {
}
}
I am getting the message: Runtime error Line 5: Cannot read property 'getRowCount' of undefined
Does anybody know why this message occurs only with Power Automate and how to solve it?
I’ve been told to stay away from using “workbook.getActiveWorksheet” and ActiveCell when using Power Automate. Instead you can use
workbook.getWorksheets()[0]
Or
workbook.getWorksheet(“Sheet1”)
If that isn’t the problem, then maybe you can try to get the UsedRange in a better way.
If you use
sheet.getUsedRange(true)
getUsedRange has an optional Boolean parameter to get values only.

I Try to create a office script, that do the same as this excel makro:
Sub clear()
Rows("2:" & Rows.Count).ClearContents
End Sub
my office Script looks like this:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook)
{
let table = workbook.getTable("Table1");
let rowCount = workbook.getTables()[0].getRowCount();
table.deleteRowsAt(2, rowCount);
}
i get following error:
Line 9: Cannot read property 'deleteRowsAt' of undefined
i dont get why the property "deleteRowsAt" is undefined.
it needs to be a office script, because i want to automate a process with power automate.
Not sure why you didn't use table in your rowCount code. You don't know if you are even getting that table for sure.
Assuming your table starts in Row 2 and the headers are in Row 1, to delete the table, see the following code below.
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
let table = workbook.getTable("Table1");
let rowCount = table.getRowCount();
table.deleteRowsAt(0, rowCount);
}
the office Script works, u need to check if the Table name is really your table name
I used the "Record Actions" in the Automate tab to record myself creating a chart. The Chart looks exactly how I want it to look after recording.
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
let selectedSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
// Insert chart on sheet selectedSheet
let chart_24 = selectedSheet.addChart(ExcelScript.ChartType.pie, selectedSheet.getRange("A6:B7"));
}
I changed up the code a little bit so it could work when I call this Script from Power Automate.
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
let sheet = workbook.getWorksheet("Dashboard");
let rng = sheet.getRange("A6:B7");
let chart_10 = sheet.addChart(ExcelScript.ChartType.pie, rng);
}
However, when I run either code above without having the data selected on the sheet, it is now giving me a bad chart like below.
This just started happening to me. I had the code working fine for me for about two months but now it is giving me the bad graph.
After testing the code, I noticed it only works when you have the data selected and the sheet open. When you run it in Power Automate ( where you can't use select() ) it will always give me the bad graph now. Ever since March 25, 2021, I have been getting the bad graph. Prior to this date, my code ran perfectly fine. How can I use a range without having to use select() so I can run it in Power Automate?
This is because the row and column used by pie chart are wrongly switched. You can try to click the "Switch Row/Column" button under "Chart" tab when selecting the chart to see the result.
As a workaround for Power Automate, you can use
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
let sheet = workbook.getWorksheet("Sheet2");
let rng = sheet.getRange("A1:B2");
// 3rd parameter will help avoid this bug.
let chart_10 = sheet.addChart(ExcelScript.ChartType.pie, rng, ExcelScript.ChartSeriesBy.columns);
}
i am having difficulties with open xml sdk:
i am trying to generate excel file with several columns that have numbers and i want to have total sum at the end
i have tried to Generate Table Definition Part Content and inside define every column (id, name etC). If column has true for TotalColumn, it adds code (rough example)
var column = new TableColumn{
id = 1,
name = "example",
TotalsRowFunction = TotalsRowFunctionValues.Sum,
TotalsRowFormula = new TotalsRowFormula("=SUBTOTAL(109;[" + rowName + "])")
};
I can't get it to work, when i open excel it reports error, but it doesn't explicitly says what the problem is... I tried with microsoft validator but can't figure anything out...
I'd appreciate any help / example code since i can't google anything out
EDIT:
i use this at the end:
workbookPart.Workbook.CalculationProperties.ForceFullCalculation = true;
workbookPart.Workbook.CalculationProperties.FullCalculationOnLoad = true;
Why not use a cell formula?
E.g.
cell.DataType = new EnumValue<CellValues>(CellValues.Number);
cell.CellFormula = new CellFormula(string.Format("=SUBTOTAL({0};[{1}])", "109", rowName));
//This will force a full recalculation of all the cells
workbookPart.Workbook.CalculationProperties.ForceFullCalculation = true;
workbookPart.Workbook.CalculationProperties.FullCalculationOnLoad = true;
I ended using EPPlus for this as it seems to be working simple and efficient
I am attempting to have phpexcel set the range for $objValidation based off a variable so not to have null values in my dropdown. This was my code
$objValidation->setFormula1('Index!$A$5:$A'.'count(Index!$A$5:$A$200');
which resulted in additional blank/null values in my dropbox making it bigger than need be. what I would like to do is something like this
$sql_temp = "SELECT `tempID`,`serialNUM` FROM `temp_sensor_specs` WHERE `statusTYPE`='SPARE'";
$result_temp = mysqli_query($link, $sql_temp);
$row_temp = mysqli_fetch_all($result_temp,MYSQLI_NUM);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->fromArray($row_temp,null,'A5');
$count_temp = count($row_temp) + 4;
$objValidation = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B4')->getDataValidation();
$objValidation->setType(PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::TYPE_LIST);
$objValidation->setErrorStyle(PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::STYLE_INFORMATION);
$objValidation->setAllowBlank(true);
$objValidation->setShowDropDown(true);
$objValidation->setErrorTitle('Input error');
$objValidation->setError('Value is not in list');
$objValidation->setFormula1('Index!$A$5:$A$count_temp');
So that didn't work I've also tried it in several variations as such
$objValidation->setFormula1('Index!$A$5:$A'.'$count_temp');
$objValidation->setFormula1('Index!$A$5:$A'.count($row_temp) + 4);
$objValidation->setFormula1('Index!$A$5:$A'$count_temp);
I really feel I've used syntax incorrectly, but can't figure out how. I've done similar range setting in loops for( $i=4; $i<=15; $i++ ){
$objValidation = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B'.$i)->getDataValidation(); but also don't think this needs to be looped it should be a simple count and set that value as the count return +4 (as my dropdown starts on cell row 5)
thanks in advance
So the proper syntax ended up being `$objValidation->setFormula1('Index!$A$5:$A'."$count_temp");
Since writing varying sized data ranges to a sheet seems to remove an Excel Table if the data range is larger than the existing Excel tables range, I want to create a Table in Excel every time I run the code. I'm currently having a fair bit of difficulty creating the tables. The code I have right now to try and create the ListObject:
eSheets = e.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
eSheet = eSheets.get('Item', j);
eSheet.Activate;
eSheet.Range(horzcat('A1:R',mat2str(size(obj,1)+1))).Select;
eSheet.Listobjects.Add;
eSheet.Listobjects.Item(1).TableStyle = 'TableStyleMedium2';
eSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).Name = tablename;
Any commentary or suggestions would be appreciated
I dont know about using eSheet in matlab but with the function
xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,xlRange)
you can also write your data from a matrix to an excel table http://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/xlswrite.html and with
[A,B] = xlsfinfo('foofoo.xlsx');
sheetValid = any(strcmp(B, 'foo2'));
you can also check if a table sheet already exist so that you wont override the old one and create a new one, as seen in https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/25848-how-to-check-existence-of-worksheet-in-excel-file
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for thougth
Alright, since the post got downvoted (not sure why...) I found my own answer with the help of some VBA forums and MATLAB Newsgroup. Here's what the final code looks like for anyone else that has issues:
e = actxserver('Excel.Application');
ewb = e.Workbooks.Open('Path/to/file');
eSheets = e.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
eSheet = eSheets.get('Item', j);
eSheet.Activate;
range = horzcat('A1:R',mat2str(size(obj,1)+1));
range_todelete = horzcat('A1:R',mat2str(size(obj,1)+300));
Range1 = eSheet.get('Range',range_todelete);
Range1.Value=[];
eSheet.Range(range).Select;
name = 'Table_Name';
try eSheet.ListObjects(name).Item(1).Delete
catch
end
eSheet.Listobjects.Add;
eSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).Name = name;
eSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).TableStyle = 'TableStyleMedium2';
Range = eSheet.get('Range',range);
Range.Value = cellarray;
