I'm trying to get data to auto refresh on a map layer I have added on ArcGIS. The information shows up just fine but does not refresh automatically as it does on the web page.
I have tried converting from its original source (XML on a web page updating every 15 minutes) to Excel, CSV (Both also update just fine) as well as trying to pull from Google Drive. I should mention I am using a free trial to test this program out so there's probably a little handcuffing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Found a method that resolved my own issue. ArcGIS Onlines auto update/refresh apparently only works for layers published by ArcGIS. Got around this by saving my CSV file to google drive and modifying the shareable link. process shown here I then added the layer from web by using the modified link from Google Drive. Now the data on my map updates with whatever was last saved on the spreadsheet at the refresh interval I set.

I am using Microsoft Syntex Content understanding on a specific Document library in Sharepoint (M365).When files are dragged into the library manually, content processing starts as expected and delivers results.
When files are added to the library with a power automate flow, the content processing does not start (not until some other files are added manually again).
Any ideas if this is a config issue?
I tried waiting (files had not been processed on the next day), checked licensing and permissions. The issue stayed, content understanding starts only when triggered by manual file upload.
We opened a case with MS Support and it started working a few days later. Case closed by Engineer without further explanation.
From our side we made sure we had the correct licensing in place, eliminated all complexity from power automate so that only plain pdfs landed in the syntex library.
I'm trying to automatically download data from this website https://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spread-map/ daily to be able to use it in PowerBI and have my dashboard update as new data is added.
I just don't know what the best way to go about this is, any help is greatly appreciated.
You don't have to download the data each and every day, you just need to click
Get data-> Other-> web and provide the URL there, every time the data is update, you will get the latest values.
If you have the Power BI service you can create the report in Power BI Desktop, load it to the service and set up a dataset refresh, so the day will update for up to 8 times a day at times you can set. If you do not have the service (You can use the free version) you will have to update the data manually.
The MS Docs website goes through the set up here
Please use "Get Data -> Web" and provide the URL from where you want to fetch data. The will get downloaded into your dashboard.
Problem: Below are the images to understand the behavior of Script-Lab on my machine. It happens across all office products that I tested For e.g. Excel, Word or PowerPoint. So, I can't create new snippet and can not see the samples.
Environment: I am using registered Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus version 1708 (Build 8431.2215) on Windows 10 Operating system (desktop) and default browser is Internet Explorer (11.1029.15063.0). The installation appeared successful. I didn't faced any error during installation. The Script Lab menu is appearing just fine but not working eventually.
More info: Interestingly, I can view, edit and run the snippets saved on GitHub gist but I can't create my own or view samples due to this error (see screenshot below)
Screenshots:
#1: When I create a new snippet, it says that it can't import the snippet.
#2: When I click on samples to view existing samples, it says that there aren't any samples available for this host yet.
Below are the proven valid scenarios for the Script-Lab to behave in undesired manner as happened in my case above. I am adding the solution, if anyone encounter it again, please follow the steps below.
Identify the problem : In the background, when script-lab opens it tries to access github content. So, if you
do not have internet connection, or
have firewall protecting github url (specifically, raw.githubusercontent.com)
then neither Snippets nor Samples will be loaded in the script-lab. So, make sure you can open the links below
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/deploy-prod/playlists/excel.yaml
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/deploy-prod/samples/excel/01-basics/basic-api-call.yaml
In my case, organization is blocking the urls containing raw as I could otherwise access every other link on github.
Solution: If for any reason, you can't still access these URLs, then as a workaround, you can access all the samples from https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/tree/master/samples/excel and then choose one and copy-paste the entire YAML. Eg.., for the default sample, just paste in the following into the "import" textbox or you can use import facility to use the YAML links at this location.
Feedback : If you happen to be a script-lab developer, I believe these samples can be the part of Excel add-in, proving more useful for offline users of various organisations.
Source: Resolved on Github.
I'm hoping this is possible.
The organization I work for has a Sharepoint site and I am able to Upload Files to pages, however I am not an admin on our Sharepoint. I'm not sure what the version is, I think its older (ie: 2005).
I have some Excel Reports I've built. The data for these reports is pulled from a SQL Server Database which I have full control over. I have setup a Job in SQL Server to run every 12 minutes, this procedure pulls in some data and updates a few tables. These tables are used to feed my Excel Reports.
I have a separate Scheduled task set to open my excel report(s) refresh the data connections and save as a PDF.
I would like to link to these PDF Files via our Sharepoint so that the VIPs can access the reports as they want, but they always see the most up to date report.
I was trying to link to a Shortcut to the PDF Files but SharePoint doesn't seem to like that. How do I make the SharePoint link point to the PDF File that is saved over every 15 minutes?
Thanks in advance,
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
The way I do it (newish version of Sharepoint) is make the save location for the PDF the network location where Sharepoint keeps the files for that site. Usually you'll have access to those if you can edit the Sharepoint site.
Here is a tutorial to find that network location.
EDIT: It very well may be disabled by the admin at the moment. But it looks like the functionality is there.
Given the age of your SharePoint (either 03 or 07), most of the modern tools that you could use to do this don't exist for you (Excel reporting, BI tools, etc). The easiest solution I can think of is to actually modify the other side of the equation. A few options:
Change your report to output two copies of the same file. One entitled (as an example) currentreport.xls and the other report20150626.xls . Put the link to the currentreport.xls in SharePoint.
Build an ASP.net page that runs the SQL query you have built and pull the data through a view. Since this would be pulled on demand, it may be a few more cycles of your SQL code, but indexing, caching and selective data pull can prevent this from being an issue. Put the asp.net code in an iFrame in a SharePoint content editor web part.
Build your report using SSRS and host the output of that in SharePoint using an iFrame.
Run a scheduled job in SQL that copies your current report data to a table and query that table instead of your normal report table. That way you only have one Excel file that points to a specific table so no need to update links. You can always keep copying data to specific files if you need a historical record and can't use the DB to store this data for you (though the amount of space that it would take to do so would be minimal).
I'm trying to build a e-commerce site for a client and it isn't quite as straightforward as I had hoped. I am using Magento Community and my client has a wholesaler who provides a data feed (over 5000 products). In order to make this data feed compliant with Magento (and its attributes), I have edited some column headings in Excel and successfully uploaded as a CSV file.
My issue is that the wholesaler regularly renews the data feed automatically. When this happens, I am assuming my tweaking of the spreadsheet will be overruled, making my now Magento compatible CSV file useless again.
My question then is how can I make the wholesaler data feed compliant with my revised version so I don't have to continually rename elements? Is this possible?
I apologise if this sounds very stupid but I am more seasoned to static website builds.
Thank you in advance.
Does your webserver have access to the newly produced updated automatic data feed ?
IF so, just fetch the feed, modifty it to be complaint with the magento data feed then find the magento 'processfeed' or whatever function, and run it against the file ?
If your webserver cannot automatically fetch the file, can the pc making the feed automatically post the data to the webserver ?
IF neither are possible so far, then there will always be a manual person who has to 'reupload the feed'.. in which case, just make a simple page for them, 'Upload feed', or modify the magento page, and let them upload their standard feed, reformat it, then process the reformatted feed.
You would need to write a script to transform wholesaler data feed into magento format so you do not need to rename manually every time.
