I use an excel-based automation framework where objects' names are parameterized into the excel sheet that drives test execution.
I need to import the QTP Object Repository to Excel/Spreadsheet in a simple readable format so that I can write a macro to fetch the objects' logical name alone into the excel sheet.
Is this possible? If so please explain.
(I understand that we have the option to import in XML format, but that is not helping much.)
You cannot export the Object Repository to Excel directly. You can only export it to XML. If you do not find the XML format useful, you will have to determine what is useful for you. You could take the XML file and convert it to different formats using XML Stylesheets (XSL). You could write a script that would parse the XML nodes for the test objects and just output the names. There are many options available once you have the data in a standard format like XML.
If you need more assistance, I suggest you post a sample of an Object Repository structure you want to export to Excel, and then post a sample of how you want that data presented in Excel.

I am working in building a project management tool,using MEAN(Mongodb,Expressjs,Angularjs,Nodejs) Stack.
I have a requirement in my project, where users will upload any kind of excel or csv format file and i need to parse each row from the file(excel|csv) and map it to my database model and save it has a mongodb document.I am trying to find an excel and csv parser library to accomplish my task.I also came accross xlsx, it looks good but it doesnt support reading csv files.It will be really helpful if any one could suggest a node.js library that can read all kinds of excel and csv file formats efficiently.Thanks in advance
At one point, I used Node CSV https://github.com/wdavidw/node-csv
to get the data inputted, it's really easy to use. Most of my users were fine with just having the CSV format option.....but you could combine the functionality of each library depending on the file type entered.....
I would like to generate multiple pdfs at once. Those pdfs should pull data from a database. It can be an excel table or a relational database, doesn't matter, I can create whatever.
Using excel and javascript in adobe acrobat pro I managed to pull data into a template pdf, but for every record (row) I have in excel table I have to manually generate one pdf, then another, and so on.. and there are a lot of records, so I would like to do that automatically if possible.
Is there a way to do that? Any suggestions?
I added an image to better explain it...
Look into the Acrobat SDK, Section: "Interapplication Communication" to learn how you can control Acrobat via VB/VBA and how you can work with the JavaScript Object (JSO).
Then have a look into the "Acrobat JavaScript Scripting reference" and look at
the Doc Object with commands like .. addField and at
the Field object to set the properties of the fields.
That should do what you want, Reinhard
PS: With Open Office you can save spreadsheets as PDF and with newer version of Excel too. Wouldn't that be already enough or perhaps a mix of above and this.
Full disclosure: I founded and run Epsillion Software.
mirta, one option is Epsillion Publisher. We built it for your exact use case.
You would need to specify what your template should look like. The Epsillion team will design it for you.
You then specify what your variables are in a Word document (e.g., name, last name, date of birth). The software will process the Word and Excel files and return PDFs for you.
Templates are flexible and flow as needed.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
Is it possible to import outlined data from Excel?
This is where Excel shows drill-down [+] [-].
Reading from ODBC doesn't give parent/child info; neither does exporting to CSV; export to HTML gives this info via mso-outline-level styles, but 2007 version puts actual content into subfolder and users will be VERY confused trying to select an appropriate file.
I ended up parsing .mht file exported from Excel, it has the required structure in form of tr tags and mso- attributes.
Excel 'Group and Outline' feature needs one column(or row) to know how to group rows, isn't it ?
Info about outline is stored in object. So neither ODBC nor CSV allow you to read it. You should use COM api in older versions of Excel or new C# api in latest to get access to those informations.
How can I read an Open Office 3.0 spreadsheet (.ods) from Groovy? I'd like to select specific columns from a named worksheet. Ideally, it would be useful to add a 'where' clause, or other criteria clause.
I've never used it, but Open Office has a Java API, which of course you could use from Groovy as well. It looks like the best places to start reading are the Developer's Guide, the Java UNO Reference, and the samples in Java and (hey!) Groovy. Hope that helps!
Might be something here at Spring Factories or here at Groovy and JMX. There is a forum for Groovy and Open Office.
Could you export the table / spreadsheet as SQL entries then use that. You could also look at this plugin for goovy -- http://www.ifcx.org/
OpenOffice documents are ZIP files which contains the document data as XML plus some other files (style sheets for word documents). Details can be found here.
The main problem with calc is formulas. If you just have tabular data, then you can simply read the cell values and use that. So you can open the ZIP archive, read the content.xml in it and parse that with any XML parser.
But when a cell contains a formula, then you need to execute it. In this case, you will have to open the document via the UNO API. Here is the Java version. There is a link where you can download example code that explains how to open ODF documents and how to examine their content. There are also snippets but none of them show how to examine a sheet.
The main disadvantage of UNO is the documentation. Each method is explained somewhere but you have to find the method which solves your problem, first.
Since the title does not mention Groovy (only question specifics does), I didn't want to make this a new question.
How to generally read an Open Office spreadsheet document? There are tools for creating one (ooo-python) but not for reading one. They are XML but just bluntly diving into that and trying to get the right logic of extracting the data I want seems so sub-optimal.
What I'd like is features similar to Excel COM support, but from a command line tool (or scripting language).
We are interested in trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into our Blog.
A sample of the Excel spreadsheet that we generate each day and want to export into our Blog is located at:

We are interested in a program or method that would allow us to just import the Excel spreadsheet into our Blog instead of having to hand input all the data, which is what we are doing now.
Thank you for your thoughts and the cost to have you help accomplish our goal.

Well, outside of creating a program (which is possible, using PHP, Perl, Java, etc and either an excel input module or converting to CSV or XML and processing that)...
Have you considered using Google Documents or another online spreadsheet software? It's easy to import an excel spreadsheet, and then embed the spreadsheet in the blog post or webpage. Then if you need to change it, modify the google document spreadsheet and the changes are rendered on the webpage or blog post immediately.

The easiest thing might be to use Google Docs. Upload your spreadsheet, then publish from Google Docs to your blog. See this article.
Can your blog consume XML? You can set up an XML Schema in Excel 2007 and just export it to an XML file. You would need to write an XSLT.
I also have a macro that will write out XML to a file... can upload that if it would help...
If your spreadsheet is generated by a macro, you could just modify a macro to generate html or some other sort of blog markup ready for copy and paste.
Excel can save as HTML, which you could then strip the metadata from and use in your website. Unfortunately the HTML that it generates is very bloated. If you do not mind client lock-in, you could consider embedding the XLS file directly on your website, and having your viewers use the IE embedded excel viewer.
If you can use ASP.NET you could use SpreadsheetGear for .NET to load an Excel workbook, grab values, formatted values or even images to display on a web page. There are live ASP.NET samples with source if you want to check it out.
