I have a excel spreadsheet that I've created with Perl (Excel::Writer::XLSX) and I'm needing to add a ListBox, but I'm not sure how to do that.
The module does provide a framwork to use vba
from the doc
"An example of adding macros to an Excel::Writer::XLSX file using a VBA project file extracted from an existing Excel xlsm file.
The extract_vba utility supplied with Excel::Writer::XLSX can be used to extract the vbaProject.bin file."
An embedded macro is connected to a form button on the worksheet.
Take a look at marco

I'm attempting to build a monthly process that converts an excel file to a PDF with bookmarks for each respective sheet. I'm not seeing a method to successfully create PDF bookmarks from within the Excel workbook. Can this be accomplished without third-party software?
What I've tried:
Using Header 1 for a cell as well as an entire row.
Putting Excel Book Mark within the file using a hyperlink reference.
Adding named range.
OneDrive flow Convert File
Adding a Header.
Reviewed some VBA Ref libraries hoping to find an object.bookmark type approach.
Unfortunately, all attempts have resulted in a PDF file with no bookmarks.
Is there a method to create PDF Bookmarks from Excel? Possibly a VBA ref library that I am unaware of or some front-end trick? Unfortunately, I'm stuck working only with Microsoft tools. Adobe's Excel Add-On does exactly what I'm trying to achieve.
My Perl scripts will write the excel file as the output to the user, and I also need this excel file includes the VBA codes.
That means after the use open the excel file, they can run the VBA macro by click the button.
Can I use Perl to write the excel file with macro inside?
If it is unable to do so, the workaround may be :
1. the Perl only write the excel file without macro.
2. attach the macro to that excel file before send to user
I have programmed macros in Excel and just tried linking the file to Inventor. I am only able to link .xls and .xlsx. The macro-enabled Excel file that I am trying to link can only be saved as a .xlsm. When I try linking it using the all files option (*.*), I am not able to choose the start cell which tells Inventor where to start pulling parameter values from the Excel sheet.
Am I able to link the .xlsm file another way?
Once the file is linked open the parameters menu and find the linked file. right click on that and you should see an option to change the starting cell.
I have a bunch of csv files that I create everyday and that I want to format nicely with colors and stuff.
So I wrote a macro that do all I want.
Now I'm looking for the most practical way to call that macro from Excel.
It looks like macros are stored in the spreadsheet and can't be "global" or "external".
So when I open a csv, I need to create a new macro, paste my vb code, and run it.
It would be great if I could add a button to Excel toolbar, or at least open a menu that will let me select the macro and run it.
It looks like one answer could be to create an excel add-in, but I'm not sure this is the right way to go.
Thanks a lot for your help
This will work with a so-called "Personal Macro Workbook". In Excel 2010, it will be called Personal.xlsb and reside somewhere in your users directory.
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/copy-your-macros-to-a-personal-macro-workbook-HA102174076.aspx for details. This also applies with small variations to other versions of Excel.
I have a report that I run from a system once a week, and the data is exported into an excel document. I have set up the tool that exports the data to excel to do a decent job on formatting, but there is still more that I need to do once the data is in excel.
Is it possible to create a stand alone macro, save it in a Microsoft office folder and be able to call it after I open this file? I have written plenty of macros that are part of ONE given spreadsheet, but never tried one that was open to many spreadsheets.
IS it possible, and a starting direction of good resources of where I can learn how to achieve this goal? Thank you.
...and be able to call it after I open this file?...
You have 2 very good options
