Export Data to Excel in Different Sheets

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 22:36:58 GMT

I was able to create the following code from various posts, I am not very good at vBA and I am hoping someone could help me with why this is not working -

Qview does not seem to do what I want it to do, which is cycle through the charts in the sheet and export the data into diferent excel sheets, it doe snot provide an error message either. Or at leats explain if there is a debug option to trace it, I can't seem to find it (like I said, little experience with vBA). Eventually i want it to also cycle thrtough first 8 sheets, but I will deal withat later

Sub to_excel
Dim wsname 
Set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
XLApp.Visible = TRUE
Set XLDoc = XLApp.Workbooks.Add
strFileName = InputBox("Enter Path and File Name (from My Documents)", "Enter Path and Filename", defaultValue)
strFileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\ewnym5s\My Documents\" & strFileName
ActiveDocument.ClearAll 
'For i = 1 To 8
     Set MySheet = ActiveDocument.GetSheet("SH02")
     MyCharts=MySheet.GetSheetObjects
     For X =lbound(MyCharts) to ubound(MyCharts)
        ActiveDocument.Sheets("SH02").Activate
        Set obj = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(MyCharts(X).GetObjectId)
        IF Obj.GetObjectType >= 10 AND Obj.GetObjectType =< 16 Then
               wsname = Obj.GetObjectId
                XLDOC.Worksheets.Add().Name = wsname
                                  XLDoc.Sheets(wsname).activate
                                        obj.CopyTableToClipboard true
                                        XLDoc.Sheets(wsname).Range("A" & 1).Select
                                        XLDoc.Sheets(wsname).Paste
                                        ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle
         End if
     Next

Re: Export Data to Excel in Different Sheets

All,

I am pasting my solution. I am not sure it is the most effcient, nor elegant, but it works. If you specify an existing filename excel will prompt you to see if you want to override.

a few comments: in my example it does not cycle through all sheets, I only wanted the first 8.

The path and filename are assumed to be startying from My Documents, adjust as needed - if the directory does not exist i assume it will fail

It is naming the excel sheet as the first 30 chars of the chart title, which is the second line in the first tab of properties. It fails if that is empty - feel free to trap the error, I just made sure all my charts had that. I liked that better than CH23 whihc means nothing to me

I freely concede I borrowed shamelessly from the boards here and other web postings, I do not claim any authorship, just trying to help others.
