2 Excel questions using automation from VFP9SP2

See screenshot for case matter: https://www.screencast.com/t/VNdRiSd1D

1) (rose highlight) I've forgotten how to get Excel to close without

asking me this every time. Currently, I'm just calling the .Quit()

method of my Excel object. I tried passing a .T. parm but that failed.

2) (yellow highlight) Anybody know how to get this slick NETWORKDAYS

formula to work in VFP? Would be neat to have this and I thought

perhaps someone already built it.

tia,

1 - set the saved property to .t. before you get rid of the Excel object.

m.loExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Saved=.t.

2 - I bet Ted wants a crack at that one.

I use a calendar table (albeit in SQL server but that shouldn't matter). Then it's just a matter of some simple queries.

insert to a cursor if the DOW if not a weekend.

count rows of cursor.

Holidays you are on your own :)

Hi:

About (1), y thinq you could use the same value that makes Word quit

without saving, which is *Quit(0)* (can't find any doc about Quit)

Another option is closing de document without saving using *Close(0)*

method then quitting.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/visualstudio/vsto/how-to-programmatically-close-documents?view=vs-2017

Hope it helps.

Frank -- it's a slick formula for determining the TIME that's passed

within the workday hours set (not just days; that'd be simple).

No no...despite the name, it's not a count of days; it's a count of the

TIME (hours/minutes) within the workday parameters set.

Counting days would be easy.

Ah, didn't know that. My quick Google of it only mentioned days.

Even if it were just days, it's definitely not that simple when you take into consideration holidays and that some work days are Saturdays in some places/jobs.

I still see those complications with calculating the time.

Do you have a table for Holidays? We use it in our system but it also

identifies the country you are in for work. We are USA, CA, UK for now.

I too tried the formula in base format in excel and it returns days when my

two cells were 7-30-2018 13:00:00 and 08-01-2018 23:00:00.

I didn't monkey around with cell settings to see if it changed.
