copyObjectsToExcelSheet(ActiveDocument, aryExport)
It´s not a regular VBA function. Do you have it implemented?
I think you should compare your code with this: http://www.qlikblog.at/971/qliktip-32-exporting-multiple-objects-single-excel-document/comment-page-...

Hi Clever
I have implemented the same code from export variant 3 as the code exports the images to the sheets i changed the sheet id and the object id but i am not getting the output. Below is the error message i am getting .
ErrorMessage: Type mismatch: 'copyObjectsToExcelSheet'
vPathVariant3 = "C:\Users\dimsum2\Desktop\qvd\Data.xlsx"
Dim aryExport(0,3)
aryExport(0,0) = "CH824"
aryExport(0,1) = "Per Month"
aryExport(0,2) = "A1"
aryExport(0,3) = "image"
Dim objExcelWorkbook 'as Excel.Workbook
Set objExcelWorkbook = copyObjectsToExcelSheet(ActiveDocument, aryExport)
objExcelWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\Users\dimsum2\Desktop\qvd\data.xlsx"
objExcelWorkbook.Application.Quit
Do you have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks
Anil
Anil,
Could you post your qvw file? I think that would make it easier to troubleshoot.
Stan
See if the attached file is working for you...
Hi Anil,
As mentioned above, copyObjectsToExcelSheet is not a VBA function but a function created by author. Like a sub procedure, a function is used to perform an assignment. We can call them whenever and any time we want. Seems you have copied only part of the code and tried in your application. Below thread has some discussion on the same topic.
Hey Guys
Thanks for the reply i found a simple solution for this and the script is working fine. Please see the script below.
SUB SendExcel
set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") ' Define Object
XLApp.Visible = True 'Visible set as true
set XLDoc = XLApp.Workbooks.Add 'Open new workbook
Set obj = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH822")
obj.CopyBitmapToClipboard
XLDoc.Sheets(1).Range("B8").Select
XLDoc.Sheets(1).PasteSpecial DataType=wdPasteBitmap
End Sub
The above script works for single chart, now how to send all charts in the sheet do we need to write the same logic for each object or is there any other script that can export all the charts and tables as image into excel? Please let me know
Thanks
Anil Danda
