I am new to Jenkins. We have jenkins kicking off several builds every night and I want to pull the failures out from all builds and put them into excel (or google dox version of excel). Is there any smart way to do this? Thanks
Now that Jenkins integrates Groovy for Pipeline builds, or just plain Groovy scripts, it is straightforward to write some Groovy code that uses the Apache POI libraries to create a genuine Excel spreadsheet with colors, fonts, highlights or whatever you need.
Create a script and use it as a Post Steps build phase with an option Run regardless of build result checked. The script, which can be anything, can push data after every build to CSV file, and if you use PowerShell - to the Excel file as well. Damn, if you use Google Docs SDK you can easily add data to GDoc Spreadsheet or do something else. No limits here.

Documentation is generated for every new build. I want to automate the process of comparing the new pdf with the old one and outputting the differences onto a text or image file. I also have the option of comparing large HTML folders or chm files(which is complicated as they are compiled files). How should I go about doing this? (I am looking for freeware Python tools)
I have looked into pdf-diff, a Python tool that does exactly what I want. But since I am working on a windows machine with no visual studio, when I try to install it using pip, I get the error "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat".
I have an excel file containing around 100K rows in onedrive. This file contains some macros. I want to run these macros using api.I want to pass these macro functions as parameters.
For example
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/drive/root:/book1.xlsx:/workbook/tables/{id|name}
Here, I want to call macros function in place tables/{id|name}
Any way to do this?
Thanks
To be able to run an Excel macro, you need a running Excel instance that opens the file containing the macro and runs the code. There is no way around this I'm afraid.
So you need a machine - physical or virtual - where Excel is installed. Then you can have a script open the Excel file there and run the macros.
If you are working in a cloud environment or on a web server for example, you would be better off rewriting the code in another language, independent of Excel. (Trust me, I've been there, done that.)
I am trying to automate installshield 6.0.
I want to automate the Name and Version field under Project->settings->Application.
I am trying to put the values in the fields via command prompt.
Can anyone please suggest how can it be done?
I believe InstallShield 6 stored its project information in INI or INI-like files. Examine the changes made to these files when you change those fields in the IDE. Once you know what it does, it should then be straightforward to write a command-line exe that makes the same (or configurable) changes to any project.
I need to convert over 100 Excel files to CSV. Worse these files consist of multiple sheets and I only need one of them.
At first I stumbled upon the Perl program xls2csv. Luckily I even found on XLS file conversion at the bottom a convenient script that converts all sheets into seperate csv files. But unluckily this converter is broken and skips lines.
I also tried pyodconverter but that only converts the first sheet.
Any suggestions? It would be ok if that conversion had to be done on Windows though I would really prefer Linux. And if it has to be Windows it would be nice if it wouldn't need an Excel installation.
There's a very useful java library called Apache POI at http://poi.apache.org/
The following link provides an example application that converts xls to csv.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/hssf/eventusermodel/examples/XLS2CSVmra.java
If you know java you can adjust it to your needs. Since it's java it runs also on linux.
you could also have a look at StatTransfer... (Win only, I'm afraid)
I know this is late but there is actually an HTA (HTML Application) which can do this. The details and download link can be found here.
Thinking that to solve a problem I've got this is the fastest solution:
Generate a custom CSV file on the file (this is already done via Perl).
Have a XLS document opened via commandline via a scripting language (clients already got a few Perl scripts running in this pipeline.)
Write VBA or record a macro that executes the following OnLoad:
Imports a the data from the CSV file into the report template,
Print the file via PDF driver to fixed location using data in the CSV to name the file.
Closes the XLS file.
So, is this possible via Excel macros, if not is it possible via VBA -- thanks!
NOTE: Appears I've got to have a copy of MS Office anyway, so this is much faster to get going than using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). The report template is going to be on a server, and this way the end user can build as many reports as they like, "test" by printing a PDF using a demo CSV file, and import/embed the marco or VBA when they're done. I'd looked in Jasper Reports, but the end user is putting ad-hoc static text and groupings all over the report and I figure this way they can build reports how ever they want and then automate them. Both of these questions by me and the resulting comments/feedback are related to this question:
In Excel, is it possible to automate reading of CSV data into a template and printing it to PDF from the commandline?
Is it possible to deploy a VB application made in Excel as a stand alone app?
FOCUS OF QUESTION: Again, focus of the question is if this is possible via Excel marcos, if not macros VBA, and if there's any huge issue with this approach; for example, I know this is going to be "slow" since Excel would be loaded per job, but there's 16GB of ram on the server and it's not used at all. Figure since I've got to have a copy of office on the server anyway, this is a much faster approach.
If you've got any questions, let me know via comments.
I suppose you could launch the report file from perl and then have a macro inside the report file automatically look for the newest csv file to import. Then you could process and output. So you just need to launch the proper excel file with the embedded macros from perl and then let excel and VBA take over.
