Zeal Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 As per the given example of DDE on excel we are able to get data to excel. However, can we use different DDE function as attached. If it is possible to use DDE function shown in the image attached; if yes how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 No. The DDE capabilities are limited largely to posting and reading data using Poke and Request only. DDE is a very old technology and not particularly well adapted anymore. In fact, we are largely deprecating this feature because of this. What exactly are you trying to do?

Zeal Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Generally there is a preference to run the excel macro from the SCADA and also to write data to a specific cell of the excel, where the excel has relevant features to align and use such feature.

Zeal Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Is there any suggestion for things mentioned in the reply?, by which the excel we could run the excel macro from Daq Factory itself. If there is way it would be of much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm sorry but I don't know Excel well enough to advise on that. There are a lot of security implications as well for doing such a thing. Word and Excel a long time ago started restricting running macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeal Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Thank you. Are there any suggestion through which the excel macro could be operated without opening excel. If so, that would be of wonderful help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
