I have a table (named as Logs) in Sheet1 to which I am writing through a program. I need to copy the content written to the table Logs to Sheet2 as LogReport when I open the workbook. Is it possible to do this without using macros or Power Query option in Excel. I am working with Excel 2010. I have been searching for a while, but I was unable to find a solution which match the requirement.
Looked through the functions available as well, but I was unable to find a possible solution. Appreciate if I can get some help.
"Is it possible to do this without using macros?"
If under "macros" you mean VBA then the answer is No.

I made a VBA function which turns my raw data into a table format since I want to use a pivottable for charts. The problem is that my file need to run on excel online and VBA is not running in a cloud environment.
Is there a way to do this with functions/power query/...
Thanks in advance
Took a while but i managed. It is in fact Excel online compatible Each formula is displayed above the corresponding column. I added some data to make sure it could handle extra data.
=IF(F8<>"",ROWS($G$7:G7),NA#)
=AGGREGATE(15,6,$G$8:$G$32,ROWS($G$7:G7))
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),IF(ISTEXT(INDEX($B$6:$C$32,H8,1)),INDEX($B$6:$C$32,H8,2),I7),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),IF(ISTEXT(INDEX($C$7:$D$32,H8,1)),INDEX($C$7:$D$32,H8,2),J7),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),INDEX(E$8:E$32,$H8),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),INDEX(F$8:F$32,$H8),"")
I have one report which is all time updated and changed the file name. I want to know is it possible to make a formula (Except for Mecro code) to another worksheet without open this worksheet.
I am using indirect formula but it required to open worksheet.
Both of these sources indiciate that this cannot be done with a formula alone. However, they propose workaround solutions using vba code, as well as this stackoverflow answer
I strongly recommend to use PowerQuery. Though it uses M language, you can use it with GUI. If your version of Excel is prior than 2013, you must install the addon
Hi and thanks in advance for the help.
I have an Access 2007 database that has tables created by live links to several Microsoft Excel 2010 spreadsheets.
I have several Access macros that run queries against these linked tables, and I find that the formatting of the output is in very strange formatting if I run the macros, without first having those linked Excel spreadsheet files open.
To put it another way, if I open the linked spreadsheets and run the Access macros, all the data formats correctly, but if I have the linked Excel spreadsheets closed when I run my Access macros, the formatting goes all funny - particularly with date fields.
Can anyone offer any advice on how I can resolve this problem?
Many thanks
Kim
I usually create a straight select query for each linked Excel table.
In this you can force any formatting or conversion you may need as well as using alias to obtain more friendly field names.
Then use this query and not the linked table for the further processing.
I'm writing a program to read some data from an OOXML Excel Workbook using Apache POI that was provided to me as example input data. There is a strange sheet named D%$&01_DevSheet at the end. It is full of formula cells with weird formulas that reference most of the other sheets in the workbook. Here is an example of one of the cells:
'Horizontal Agreements'!S15+"8I/!%4\"
It is also not visible when the worksheet is opened in Excel.
I've never run across such a sheet before. It looks like some kind of internal Excel structure. Google searches for "D%$&01_DevSheet" and "excel" "DevSheet" have turned up nothing useful.
This sheet is not present in any test workbooks I've created. However, I'm not much of an Excel user and I did not exhaustively try all Excel features.
At this point, I'm going to hard code a rule that excludes sheets ending in _DevSheet from processing. However, since this stuff is turning up in my input, I think I should understand and handle it properly, so I have some basic questions:
What does Excel use sheets like D%$&01_DevSheet for?
What user actions cause them to be created?
Are they named regularly?
What is the most reliable way of detecting sheets like this Apache POI?
Normally Excel does not use such a sheet, so it seems to be added by some specific application or tool that was used to create this Excel workbook. It seems the developer of the application stores formulas and other things in a separate sheet for separation from the user-visible content.
So likely you will need to contact/research whichever application provided this file and get more information about this sheet from there.
You can probably only exclude these sheet by name as you already did.
I have some customer MS Excel VBA code (MS Excel 2007) that takes a range as input and then does some work on it (it is quite a large range). I want to use a separate excel document as the source of the range data. If I have both the source and target document open then the function works just fine. If I have only the target document open I get #Value! returned and stepping through in the debugger I see "Error 2023" in the data value passed in. Any ideas how I make this work without having to open both spreadsheets simultaneously?
I am not sure if I have understood the problem correctly; as you have mentioned that there are 2 excel spreadsheets viz source and target and since you would be referring both you should have both the spreadsheets open.
Are you looking for a solution to open the reference spreadsheet automatically?
