Extract data into Excel and enable macros from PL/SQL procedure

[dr3586]

Hi,

I have an Oracle PL/SQL procedure that extracts data into an excel worksheet. I am wondering if there is anyway from the procedure to also set the macros of the excel document that is created?

For example, usually the macros are manually done:
Go to Tools, Macros – Macro. Select the “Automate” macro and click “run”.

However I am trying to automate the manual process. Any suggestions or direction?

Thanks,
DR

Setting a macro would not be possible from PLSQL.
Could you please tell what is that macro going to do?

One suggestion would be to connect to oracle database from Excel using macro and fetch the data in to excel sheet.

You can't set macros form PL / SQL.

Hi, I have the same request. I am collecting data via PL/SQL procedure and downloading them in excel. I have a macro that runs a chart. I am trying to make the whole report automated. Any other workaround for the macro to run?
Thanks.

I hope you would have got the answer from the above posts that setting a macro using PLSQL is not possible.
You can rather connect to oracle DB from excel using macro and fetch the data and store them in the oracle work book.

Can some please put up the Stored proc to load data from a table into excel file?

you can "run" a macro using client-side client_ole2 code , use:

args:=client_ol e2.CREATE_ARGLI ST;
client_ole2.ADD _ARG( args, V_MACRO_NAME );
client_ole2.INV OKE( Application, 'RUN' ,ARGS );
client_ole2.des troy_arglist(ar gs);
