Hi,
I have a question about exporting qlikview object to excel.
I've done the export perfectly, the problem is I want to include the title of the object to excel.
I'm using macro like this
'// ****************************************************************
'// More enhanced export of three objects to three different sheets
'// ****************************************************************
sub exportToExcel_MultiObj
'// Array for export definitions
Dim aryExport(7,3)
set Path = ActiveDocument.Variables("vPath")
GetPath = Path.GetContent.String
aryExport(0,0) = "OBJ1"
aryExport(0,1) = "Test1"
aryExport(0,2) = "A1"
aryExport(0,3) = "data"
aryExport(1,0) = "OBJ2"
aryExport(1,1) = "Test2"
aryExport(1,2) = "A1"
aryExport(1,3) = "data"
Dim objExcelWorkbook 'as Excel.Workbook
Set objExcelWorkbook = copyObjectsToExcelSheet(ActiveDocument, aryExport)
'filePath = ActiveDocument.Variables("vPath")
objExcelWorkbook.SaveAs GetPath
objExcelWorkbook.Application.Quit
'// Now either just leave Excel open or do some other stuff here
'// like saving the excel, some formatting stuff, ...
end sub

'// copyObjectsToExcel

'// Parameters:
'// qvDoc - Reference to the QlikView document (normally just use
'// "ActiveDocument", but you can also use copyObjectsToExcel
'// outside of QlikView ...
'// aryExportDefinition - array of settings
'// ~~
'// Version 1.02

'// The aryExportDefinition is used to pass the following properties to
'// copyObjectsToExcelSheet:
'//
'// Index Description
'// ------------------------
'// 0 - Id of the QlikView object to copy from
'// 1 - Name of the sheet (in Excel) where the object should be copied to
'//
'// (If a sheet with the same name already exists no new
'// sheet will be created, instead the existing sheet will
'// be used for pasting the object)
'//
'// Note: the sheetName can be max 31 characters long
'//
'// 2 - Range in Excel where the object should be pasted to
'// 3 - PasteMode ["data", "image"]
'// Defines if the objects underlaying data should be
'// pasted ("data") or the the image representing the object
'// should be used
