I'm a TFS2010 User.
I have my own query named "My Current job" that show me the User Stories and related Task that I have to do right now.
I have opened the query in excel and made a conditional format to the workbook that show in green color the rows of completed work items.
Are there any way to make this conditional format (and other changes like this) permanent for this query?
I'm not the only one user of the teamproject, so I preffer don't change anything that could affect others users unless that is the only way.
Currently I've excel macros that do the job, but I wonder if it can be done directly in TFS .
Thanks.
This should be possible by using the "Team" ribbon on any Excel-document, simply click on any cell and then select "New List". Navigate to the query you 're interested in and harvest the results in your worksheet:Once you have established this link "Publish" will push your changes from Excel to TFS and "Refresh" will refresh your results from TFS

In Excel Online, there is a feature called "Catch Up" that permits seeing a list of changes made to the workbook.
Is there a way with any API (Graph?) to get this list of changes made to the workbook ? I would like to have the data shown in the "Changes" panel in a PowerBI report.
Thanks,
I have a PowerBi report with several data sources, SQL query and Excel connector.
The SQL data data on our Products whereas the Excel is living data on salesperson notes on said products.
The PowerBI has a PowerApp visualization. The Power App has 3 pages:
Page 1 is landing page that Gallery displays data from PowerBi
Page 2 is a form edit page to edit notes in the Excel spreadsheet that we know exists because we saw those notes in the PowerBi report
Page 3 is a form edit page to add new notes in the Excel spreadsheet that we know we have to add because we did not see them in the PBI report
On Page 1 are two buttons, "Edit" and "New" that navigates to the proper page.
Now here the WTF moment
IF the Product has notes and the user clicks on the NEW button, then PowerApps adds the line to the Excel spreadsheet, causing duplicates and thus the PowerBi report cannot refresh. It breaks.
If the Product does not have notes and the user clicks on the EDIT button then PowerApps does a LookUp(ExcelSpreadsheet, Column=Gallery1.Selected.PowerBiValue which results in a NULL value and thus breaks with a dreaded server response: expression "... eq null" is not supported.
If I try to add the 'IsEmpty()' to preemptive counter it, the 'Lookup()' is run first thus breaking before it gets to the 'IsEmpty()', same goes with 'IsBlank', 'IsBlankOrError', and 'IsError'.
I have Googled the living %(#$* out of this and there seems to be nothing on it, as this is in direct relation to 'LookUp' on the Excel Spreadsheet not a dropdown or in app text box that other people have issues with. How is it that you can't even use the error handler 'IsError()' as it breaks before the handler can even have a chance to do anything.
If I use LookUp(ExcelSpreadsheet, Column=Gallery1.Selected.PowerBiValue) in any way, shape, or form, with or without If clauses, because it will eventually produce a NULL result, Power Apps breaks
How do I read null values from a data source?
SOLUTION:
Since the "living data" Excel spreadsheet is also in the PowerBi report, I have PowerBi send the living data values along with the SQL queried product values to the PowerApp. Since the NULL is now a sent from PowerBi instead of queried from Excel within PowerApps, I can have 1 button that's OnSelect property reads:
IF(IsBlankorError(Gallery1.Selected.LivingDataNotes),Navigate(NewNotes),Navigate(EditNotes)
I want to select a range with the binding from a prompt. To implement this I follow the spec: Add a binding from a prompt
The behavior is ok on Excel desktop but on Excel online I can't select a range with the mouse.
I reproduce this in the Script Lab tool and I have export a gist. The gist is available on: Get data binding from a prompt.EXCEL.yaml
For testing,
Open a document on Office online
Launch ScriptLab and open the project
Click on "Set binding on data" button to open the prompt (to create a binding on the cells to get their values)
Try to select a range with the mouse
Is this behavior on Excel online normal ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes, for now, that is the current behavior. We don't have great 'range picker' support for Excel for web, which just defaults to asking users to manually type in the address. It is something we're considering on improving on with new controls and APIs in the future.
To stay up to date, I'd suggest logging this on UserVoice and we can update it when we start: https://officespdev.uservoice.com.
thanks!
I am using a lotus notes database, where our whole company adds its customer data to it. The search function should give me the customer and when I click it I get more detailed information, which I need for my daily work.
However, I have to search this database and it is quite unreliable in terms of displaying the data and also often because of data insertion errors I do not find what I am desiring.
Therefore, I was wondering if I could export this database to excel and search it through with the filters.
Any recommendations how to do that?
I appreciate your replies!
You could also utilize the native full-text search of Domino : in the [View] menu, click "Search this view".
Select all the rows you want to export.
Do Edit/Copy AS>Table (could be long)
Past in EXCEL you will also get a link to the document in Excel.
This solution is relevant only if you research in few data. You may also build a "clever" view in Notes (exploding spaces for example) and search "start with" which is alway up to date.
I have pulled Notes view information into Excel from the Excel side via VBA - you'd need (to create) a view with all the relevant fields in columns first. Here's some code that worked for me: Accessing Lotus Notes database from Excel VBA - how do I pick up COLUMNVALUES?
I was picking up category subtotals..presumably you want the document contents instead so change the
Set Entry = nav.getNextCategory(Entry)
to
Set Entry = nav.getNextDocument(Entry)
and tweak the VBA code to suit which columns you want... good luck !
Is there a way to have SharePoint automatically save a copy of its list (spreadsheet) to a file at the end of the day?
My understanding is that versions are just for backup and are triggered by a single item changing.
Right now we have an excel spreadsheet that we work on each day adding new items and working on them and updating them - then the next day we copy the previous days document and rename it to todays date. Apparently this is for auditing purposes to view activity between different days.
I would like to move to SharePoint since we have a SharePoint 3.0 site on our intranet already setup and I have created a custom list that does everything else but do not see how to have these automatically exported without someone manually saving them.
On a side note, at some point we are moving to SharePoint 2010 so I dont know if that will give us what we need.
EDIT: I think I should be more specific that I want to save the entire contents of the list, not just version a single item. SharePoint seems to only version item by item and not the entire list. Not sure if there is some automated export of list data option available.
Well, SharePoint you can enable document versioning in SharePoint - you can check all versions and see who an when has modified them.
In case you really need to copy some files, maybe some workflow could help
