I need to create custom ribbon in excel by using vba. Like this:
I can do it by using Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office but I want to know if it can do it by using VBA.
According to Dutch Gemini, "You cannot create ribbon elements dynamically in VBA." It's possible tools have been created in the 6 years since his article. However, the article does give hints from his experience with the Ribbon and modifying elements using VBA.

I have had a feature request for my Excel Addin (office-js) to export data from Excel directly to Word. The workflow after execute (from within Excel) would be:
1. User selects table within Excel;
2. MS Word Opens a template document;
3. The table from Excel is copied into a specific location within the Word document
I have examined the API as well as available examples and haven't come across the ability to do this. There are alternative workflows I can explore but just wanted to confirm if this was possible.
Thanks you.
Can you do it in VBA? if you can, this should be a new feature ask, and then you could submit your request in uservoice and upvote for this feature at https://officespdev.uservoice.com/forums/224641-feature-requests-and-feedback?category_id=163563. and upvote for this feature. thanks for your support
I am trying to create a report in Excel using genexus data. It is easy, I click on a button called "Create a report", then I collect data from Genexus data and I set them up into Excel file. But I want headers to be shown up as vertical headers with picked data from GENEXUS. I hope you understood me, I am a spanish speaker. Do I have to use Javascript?
Setting vertical headers cannot be done using Excel Document API.
But you could create your Excel Document from an existing Excel Template that already has all the "styling" you need.

I have a list on Sharepoint,and I would like to update that list from any excel sheet/file I create "Having same formatting of course". Can I achieve that? I know that you can create a List on sharepoint from an excel sheet "Table Format" but I couldn't find any solution to sync sharepoint list from any excel sheet. Shall I do some scripting to achieve that ? I'm using Excel 2010 and Sharepoint 2010
Do you need to actually do any further interactions with the SharePoint list?
If not, a solution could be to just display the excel sheeet as a Range within a page. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee556820.aspx
Don't think you get my point. Suggesting that you do not use a list at all. Just display the excel sheet directly.
If you do need to update a list from excel, you must use scripting of some kind. Question is if you can call the script from within excel, or it must happen when uploading the excel sheet.
Perhaps if you tell the complete scenario, it is easier to help.
Since I need further interaction with the list, I have decided to go with Access, which provides an out of the box solution. Simply create a blank database and link it with the desired list on SharePoint and that would be it.
I am using Qt 4.5 and Windows XP. I need to create an Microsoft Excel Document that has data (some labels and values) from the Qt application. I need to format those data with some fonts,bold,italics,color, background color etc., Besides ordinary data, there will be Picture files (JPG) also. I need to add those into the Excel. I know retrieving values from Excel using QAxWidget, QAxObject. But I don't have a clue about the formatting options that can be applied to cells through Qt and adding images as well?? Any help regarding this are welcome.
There are a few options:
Use a cross platform library
xlslib is one such library
Use the Excel Object model directly If your program will run on a
machine that has office installed
you can use COM or ActiveX to tie into the
Excel object model to create the
workbooks. Excel has a rich and
complete object that will let you do
most operations.
Write to an intermediate database Write the QT
data to some type of database and
pull the data using Excel. This
route requires in depth Excel
knowledge and a database.
Write out an XML format that Excel can understand
Excel 2003 can understand
SpreadsheetML. Simple formatting
should be straight forward to construct an XML
document for. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb226687(office.11).aspx
Excel 2007 can
understand OpenXML. I have not worked
with it, but I understand it is more
complicated (i.e. more feature rich) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338205.aspx
Is their anything in sharepoint to easily achieve this?
Say you have a list of 40 items, you can click a button to export all 40 items right to a word file or text file or something. Instead of having to open each item and click print.
I can do something custom wise, im just curious if there is a simple solution already implemented.
If you have Office 2007 installed and you visit a SharePoint list, you can just use the Actions > Export to Excel option (or Export to Spreadsheet). This generates a SharePoint Excel Query File that Excel can open up and pull the list.
Most Office apps, especially Excel, will talk to SharePoint lists in some form or another.
You should be able to do this already, provided you have MSOffice.
When viewing the list, hit the "actions" button at top and you should have "Export to Spreadsheet" available, this will drop the full list right into excel.
