Is it possible to load microsoft forms dropdown list from excel or text file.
As the form options will keep changing frequently like daily, so if options can be loaded from a file or excel or onedrive file
can use script to update the file which can help with updationg fields of dropdown manually.
Any idea or workaround let me know. Thanks for your inputs.
Exploring the same in sharepoint forms as well.

Reading Data from excel sheets in Katalon studio

How to read data from excel sheets(sheet 1,sheet 2...etc) in Katalon Studio.
I am able reading the data from one sheet.But I am facing the difficulty with multiple sheets.
Without knowing exactly what the problem you face is, here are my first suggestions to check:
You do have to create different Test Data files for each sheet in your file that you want to use. Two Test Data files for the same spreadsheet file
In your new Test Data inside Katalon, just select your file and then you can select the different sheet. Sheet selection options
If you can't see a sheet in the drop down on your Test Data page (perhaps you just added it to the spreadsheet) refresh your project, or at the very least refresh the Test Data. (ctrl-F5 to refresh the entire project, highlight the Test Object and then right-click and select or hit F5 to refresh the Test Data)
Hope this helps.
You cannot switch excel sheets from Katalon, at least natively. Maybe with some custom programming.

Updating Excel sheet when we save data in document library

User did download the excel countries data from folders in the one SharePoint library Using “export to excel”. And also he store the Macro-enabled excel workbook.
1- When we save data in document library, we can get the data and call excel service REST API to write the data to the excel sheet. How to achive this ?
2- Is that possible, when running Macro's in Excel Workbooks stored in SharePoint?
When you click on 'Export to Excel', click anywhere on the data in the excel.
Then a tab will be highlighted in the Excel ribbon named 'Design'.
When you do changes in Doc library, just refresh it on the excel by clicking on the 'Refresh' button under 'Design' tab. Thats it.
You can even disconnect excel with SharePoint by clicking on 'Unlink' under 'Design' tab.
You can also export this excel to new SharePoint list by clicking on 'Export' under 'Design' tab.
Hope this helps.

Creating A Custom Excel Report

I should be able to customize excel script reports here:
C:\Users\ [user] \sahi_pro\config\reports\excel\script_report
As explained here: http://sahipro.com/docs/faq/how-to-customize-html-reports.html
When I make changes, they don't apply.
Edit the script_report XSLT Stylesheet
Run a script
Go to logs
Click on the script that's ran. Should see the script report.
Click on the excel icon on the top right.
This should produce the customized excel report.
I tested to see if the html reports could be edited and I can custom html reports anyway I want using this method.
Editing the XSLT Stylesheets seem to be working for the html reports, not excel sheets. To write custom excel reports, I am using the "Sahi Pro - File Manipulation APIs" in my scripts.

Tableau Export PDF with custom template

I have a viz showing on our site and the sales people may have customized it by running filters on it. This customized report we want to export as a pdf. Can i customize this some how to use a specific header and text as well?
Here are some things that i would like to include
I want to put a custom header/image
Some text to show contact us/sales rep info and some descriptive text
The viz as it is displaying with filter applied
Some text underneath the viz
FYI: this viz is showing on our site. I am not referring to Tableau server.
Thanks.
Out of the box, with Tableau Server there is a tool called tabcmd that you can use to create a PDF of the viz on Server (see http://kb.tableausoftware.com/articles/knowledgebase/using-tabcmd).
Once you have created the PDF you would need to run a second job with something like Coherent's PDF Command Line Tools (http://www.coherentpdf.com/usage-examples.html) to mark up the PDF with the content you want to add.

Powershell [Add-Content/Write-Host] : Adding a hyperlink to plain text

I have written a Powershell script to perform some actions:
Read a .xls file
Compile certain .c files
Copy output files.
I log everything performed by the script to a Log file (e.g. output.log)
I later invoke a tool which performs an analysis of the actions performed by the script and writes them into an Excel sheet.
I would also like to write the path of the excel sheet inside output.log and also provide a hyperlink to it but I have not been able to do so.
Example:
Currently the link to the excel sheet is written as file://\\10.128.163.188\d\abc.xls, but I would like to have a hyperlink to it.
Can you please suggest how to do that?
p.s. I am not working with HTML Docs / UI (i found many examples for the same), but for adding a hyperlink into a plain text written inside a .txt file, i couldn't find any.
You cannot add hyperlinks to a plaintext document. It does not have that functionality.
It has to be a rich text file (.rtf), or a Microsoft Word Document (.doc), or a HTML file.
There is no way around this.
