So, there is this website where I have to log in and insert values in the add content->person roles and I have to take values from an excel file. I tried entering the values in the database directly but got nowhere. The database is too randomly generated.
I want to know- how to go by this problem? I think python would be the best way but I am more comfortable with java. The images bellow will help understand the situation better-
The log in from:
The form to be filled:
Try using feeds module:
https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds
Install it on you site first of course. Or look for some similar import module. Maybe this one:
https://www.drupal.org/project/datasources
If nothing succeeds then try making import script on your own. You have to parse document (would be much easier to open it from excel and export as CSV if possible http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php) and have some loop to write content into Drupal system. Use Drupal's functions for that, do not directly write to database. It's not hard as it looks like:

Here is the situation: I'm 'having fun' really using Microsoft Access for the first time for small personnal project/tools ideas.
I don't know anything about VBA yet, and unless I can't do without it, I don't plan to learn it this time (already a lot else to cover).
So I tried to use Python to automatize the main table filling. I did find pyodbc package and succeeded to connect, read and write some data out of my database.
However, I wanted to experiment a little further, and one of the fields could contain hyperlinks (could be handled somewhere else in another script later, but I am curious about the functionality anyway)...
But I couldn't figure how to insert hyperlink data in the table. I only get the displayed text set, but not the target one.
Is this feasible using pyodbc or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks in advance!

The hyperlink field in MS Access consists of three parts, separated by #:
display text # filename or target # location within the document
So an example of the data of a field can look like this:

See the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.application.hyperlinkpart

In Domino Designer, I would like to export a view to CSV file, with the details as per below:
Select all document
In UTF-8
Include Column Title
I tried to use formula language to at least export it to csv, and save it at the current user's desktop, but it seems like %UserProfile% is not working.
#Command([FileExport];"Comma Separated Value";"C:\Users\%UserProfile%\Desktop\temp.csv")
I have tried to change "%UserProfile%" with Public, and it works, but preferably I wish it could be done using current user profile.
My questions are:
Can I use formula language to code something like this?
Is there any lotusscript similar to my description as above (i.e The CSV file can be exported only by one click?
Thank you in advance.
No
Yes, see example as a starting point.
I'm currently working on a project (developed using laravel, php, javascript, jquery, html), containing a large amount of data, so I'm using DataTables to display them with serverside set to true. What I'm trying to figure out is how to export the complete table to an excel file - right now it only saves one page (the one being shown at that very moment ) - using the Button extention.
I've been reading about it for a while now but still can't figure out a way to do this. I understand that, since serverside is set to true,
the only rows that exist on the client-side are those shown in the table at any one time.
But how can I get the complete table? Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE:
So I create the excel file with the data I want in the backend, using PHPExcel, but now the problem is that it is saved server-side, while I wanna make it downloadable (client-side). From what I've been reading, I must add the appropriate headers to do so, but nothing I've tried works. Using
this, I managed to output the data of the excel in the screen, but it just shows gibberish... I should probably also mention that I'm new at this!
I have code written in Outlook 2010 VBA that I want to share with co-workers (an Outlook rule runs that calls the code, which saves the current e-mail to a network folder as a text file). What I would like to do is save the VBA code in a library somewhere on the network, and have Outlook call it there. This way, others can call the same code and there is one set of code that all instances of Outlook can point to. If you can point me to info on setting this up I would appreciate it!
I do a similar thing in VBscript programs, using executeglobal to basically run a file containing the functions (acts like an include file) and am looking for how to do it in VBA.
Well it seems its not as easy as I was hoping. After perusing the links supplied by MP24 (Thanks MP24!), I learned the Outlook OTM file is not really intended to be shared. It errored for a colleague when I saved it to a network drive and she tried to use it via tools/references. To share code, one can export it as a .bas file, and another user can import it. This will add it to their own code if some exists already. The proper way seems to be to write an add-in, but that is beyond the scope of what I need for what I am doing. So, if a colleague wants to use my code I'll export and they can import it. The trouble is if I change something they will have to delete it and re-import. Oh well.
I wish to pull data from a large SQLite database into Excel. I'll want to do so quite interactively so don't want to export CSVs or anything like that. I have seen the sqliteodbc website on ch-werner.de but does that work with Excel 2007?
What are the best options?
Actually I have gone through the ch-werner.de file mentioned in the question and it works well, even in Excel 2007. Simply make sure to register your database using the ODBC option in the Windows control panel.
Excel recognizes XML and the format is something like this:-
<Workbook xmlns=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet\" xmlns:x=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel\" xmlns:ss=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet\" xmlns:html=\"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40\">
<DocumentProperties xmlns=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\">
You might want to create a sample of the output you want in Excel, save it as XML data. Open your regular text edit, and voila... you got the XML skeleton.
Now programmatically converting SQLite to Excel, that's another thing. You didn't mention what language you're conversant with.
