I Have an Excel 2003 file with a line similar to this:
I need to click "the button" and it adds that line as the last one on a Google Spreadsheet
Similar to:
Is it possible?
Should I use the command-line Google tools?
Is there a better way? Easier way?
How would you do it?
(once I know how to add "stuff" from VBA to Google Docs, how the f do i add it to the last line?)
More info: I have an Excel 2003 "program" that saves all of the company's sales (with the customer info), and I'd like do make a global address book that's easily updated by my (non it) co-workers.
You don't need OAuth or the spreadsheet API. Google Spreadsheet allows data entry with a simple form, which means also that a HTTP POST will do the trick. You just need to prepare your spreadsheet to accept data entries via a form as follows:
You can test the entry now with curl if you have it on your system (replace the formkey placeholder with the formkey from your table):
curl.exe -v -k "http://spreadsheets.google.com/formResponse?formkey=<formkey>" -d "entry.0.single=test&entry.1.single=test2&pageNumber=0&backupCache=&submit=Submit"
Next we try to execute the form POST from our Excel sheet via the following code. Add a reference to "Microsoft XML, v3.0" before. Replace column1 with your desired values.
Dim httpRequest as XMLHTTP
Set httpRequest = New XMLHTTP
httpRequest.Open "POST", "http://spreadsheets.google.com/formResponse?formkey=<formkey>&ifq", False
httpRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
httpRequest.Send "entry.0.single=" + column1 + "&entry.1.single=" + column2 + "&pageNumber=0&backupCache&submit=Submit"
'Check result in the following vars
httpRequest.status
httpRequest.statusText
Hope that helps
