Open an Excel workbook using Qlikview

[Anonymous]

Hi People,

I have found a few solutions on forum but nothing is working for me:

SET vQVFile = 'C:\Users\ljar01\Desktop\Klienci.xlsx';

sub ddd (Root)

set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application");

set XLDOC = XLApp.Workbooks.Open($(vQVFile));

XLApp.Visible = True;

end sub

If there is sub ddd () without (root) there is an error:

"

Script line error:

sub ddd ()

"

I was also wondering if the reason lies in " ; " but it is not working whether these signs are in code or not.

My goal is to store database as csv and open it automatically via Qlikview to run a workbook macro.

How can i open Excel document via Qlikview?

Please help,

Best regards,

Jacek Antek

Hi Guys, hi Marcus.

Execute is working like a charm nut only when i am turn on QlikView manually.

From publisher my macro doesn't work unfortunately.

I wanted to run my vbs file from publisher:

The last one is my application which should open VBS macro and run and close Excel. This is not working...

any ideas ho w to solve this?

There are various reasons why such a execute-batch could fail - often related to wrong/missing user and security configurations. I think the following postings will be helpful for you:

Run Excel macro via QMC

[brooksc57]

This works for me.  I do this because I keep a Master Calendar in Excel that changes each day so I open and close it to simply attract all the changes.

Step 1:  Build a  macro in qlikview

Sub xlO()
Set oXL=CreateObject("Excel.Application")
f_name="\\ < your path >\MasterCalendar.xlsx"
'f_name="C:\ExcelFile.xlsx"
Set oWB=oXL.Workbooks.Open(f_name)
oWB.Save
oWB.Close
oXL.Quit
End sub

Step2:  in Document Properties add an OnOpen Trigger to call the macro.

I have it working in QMC as well.

I'll assume if you have that file open already you might have an issue.

thx
