Create a Button and Add an action to it to Launch the excel file

Action-Add Action- External-Launch

Click ok

Then add the file name

I don't have a script, but check this post

http://community.qlik.com/message/192704#192704

it may help

That script does not work.

So I will stick to your advice.

I need one last action with the Button. Add a new worksheet in the exel and save the exel.

Any advise please?

You cant use button to do that.

You need to add Macros like the previous post I gave.

To add a Macro, press CTRL M which will bring you to the Edit Module where you can add the Macro

You then call that macro from an action on a button

[rustyfishbones]

here is a link to a video on how to create a simple macro
