I have quite a few emails that come in on a regular basis with the same email subject (around 10-20 a day) that all follow a set format, and then are manually being entered onto a Google Sheet for Sales staff to access.
Ideally, if I could cut this out of my morning routine it would make my life a lot simpler.
What would be the best way to search Outlook by subject line, and then export the relevant data to an Excel worksheet, so that all I would have to do is import that .xls file onto the shared sheet?
You may consider developing a VBA macro or add-in if you need to install the solution on multiple PCs. See Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 for more information.

I have created a report in SSRS that is several tables. I can export the report to Excel easily enough but the users want to have the ability to input their own numbers in a line below the tables. This line (y) would be followed with another summary line(y+z, or x-y=z, whatever). Yes, they can open the report insert extra lines, add formulas and formatting... but since this report will be run monthly and there are 11 tables in this report it would be nice if there is a Power Automate solution to add lines, formulas and formats or some other solution. Feel free to post potential solutions or teaching resources that may allow me to piece together a solution. Thank you.
I haven't tried anything yet. The only solution I can do at the moment is create a Excel template where I paste the exported spreadsheet and it gets 'lookedup' by a second tab with the proper/end formatted spreadsheet. Would like to modernize the solution(and learn)....although learning VBA is not solution I am looking for....
TL;DR: Need to paste mass data as image into a single doc.
Hi, I'm helping to compile monthly Management and Governance Reports consisting of 150+ pages, half of which are screenshots of 'dashboards' created in Excel 2010. Each dashboard is in its own file, located in a monthly folder on a shared drive. No sheet or file protection exists.
The current process is to open each Excel file, highlight the print area in the first sheet (usually called "Report", but not always saved as the visible sheet), copy, then paste as image into a template in Word 2010 (raw pasting would require a lot of resizing). Each image takes up exactly one A4 page in Word.
It currently takes many hours of ridiculously tedious copy-pasting, and I'd love to preserve the sanity of the poor responsible soul.
I'm not too familiar with VBA, and I've tried recording a macro to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Alex
I am new to VBA and SharePoint. I have been researching a lot of different forums and help sites, but I still can't find what I am looking for.
I am using Excel 2007 I am trying to copy a Summary tab from different excel documents on a sharePoint site. The excel documents are in different folders and I am prompted for read only or Edit before the workbook opens. There are only 25 or so workbooks that I am trying to pull.
I would ideally like to pull the summary information from the different excel workbooks into one master excel sheet with each summary sheet having its own tab in the master excel document. I think I can write the code for that part it getting the information to the master excel document that I am not sure where to start. Any help or advice would be great!

I have to code an automated mail. This is a weekly report, containing texts, outlook tables, and up-to-dates excel charts. edit: before sending it, I need to check the mail.
I don't know what is the better way to code that and I want your point of view.
My first option is to create a special workbook with a new macro, and do everything with this new macro. I don't see any problem in managing multiple others workbooks and charts. But I am not sure if I can easyly works with the mail. Would it be possible to write/create table in outlook from excel ?
My second option is to work with outlook. I think I can write some code somewhere to launch excel macros and updates my tables. But i don't know much about this.
What would be the better approach ?
Edit: Let's say that I am just a little intern (lucky enough to make others thing than coffee), and the report is for my manager's manager's manager. No flexibility.
I would just email them the workbook with the report information in it. If they are employees of your company and they recognize your email(or the company's email) there shouldn't be a security issue with just sending them the workbook as an attachment with all th reports in it. You should be able to do that from Excel: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff458119(v=office.11).aspx
You can update the excel file and then concatenate your data together to form the email body as well if you want - as well as obviously email the workbook itself or another updated workbook if you want.
Would be a big project if you are a beginner with VBA but is certainly doable.
If you're working with Outlook, you may also have access to 'SkyDrive' which will allow you to upload documents and files to shareable folder(s) and then send out alert emails to those sharing the folder. Probably a lot easier than writing some code that will most certainly have a never-ending maintenance burden.
Hello This post is the only one I could find on the subject.
Outlook addin: Get elements from a selected calendar
I have an excel spreadsheet template that I print before all my meetings. It contains the meeting Location, which group name and the meeting time.
I have to manually enter the time, and location so that at the end of the week when I write up the meeting minutes. All the critical info is already printed on my notes sheet. I have three weekly meetings that I have to keep my notes organized for.
Q: is there a way to open an excel spreadsheet to pull values from the current day outlook calendar.
I would like to avoid VBA if possible.
You need to use VBA, or some programming language that can access the Application automation servers, to automate this. VBA lends itself to the task because it doesn't need a separate compiler but can be written in Excel and run from there.
