Getting excell to see a info bit from the outside
hi,
I would guess that with the right code, you might be able to do a time delayed macro but you have not supply near enough information to start to make even the wildest of guesses. what language in coming in. excell uses vb. you may need drivers. what cache/file/table is the incoming data being held. if you could capture it, what format is the data in. how are you going to store in in excel. we are doing something similar where i work. the incomeing language is in c+. it is sent to an ascii text file (notepad). we upload it(macro) once a day the ascii files are saved and dated daily. the excel part does the summarizing and reporting. The upload we do is a simple open text file and parce. -----Original Message----- I am trying to use excell to track downtime in a production line and would like to have the program count everytime a signal is received from an input port into the computer. How do I have excell go outside its environment to look for that input? . |
