It’s not available with the regular business account. In fact, you’ll have to shell out for the Office 365 Business Premium account if you want to use SharePoint. It’s really only intended for business use so it’s only available with an Office 365 Business account subscription. SharePoint doesn’t come with any of the Office 365 Home products. There’s a lot of customization possible, but I’m just using it to store a couple data lists so didn’t think it was worth spending any time on. This is what you get straight out of the box. I set up my SharePoint site quickly and didn’t bother to edit or customize anything. It’s also a bit like OneDrive in that it can store and manage your files in the cloud, but with some more advanced collaboration features. A sort of Wikipedia style server or information portal. You can think of it as an internal company website (intranet) that can help improve your organization’s data management. It’s a browser based platform from Microsoft that can house all the content (data, files, folders, photos, documents etc.) related to your work to make it easier to share and collaborate with others on the same work. What is SharePoint?Īs the name might suggest, it’s a place to share stuff. In this post, I’m going to share with you what I found out about SharePoint and Excel. I had also come across it in Excel since Excel Tables have the ability to export to SharePoint.
I had heard about SharePoint before, but I never really knew what it was. PowerApps can easily connect to and save data to many different data sources, so after a bit more investigating, I decided I would use SharePoint lists to store all the quote data from the app. But even the best Excel based template in the world wasn’t going to solve all their problems.Īfter a bit of investigation, I came to the conclusion that what they really needed was a custom quote app which could be built fairly easily with Microsoft PowerApps. (3) This is why I have 3 different types of spreadsheet software.I recently started a consulting job for a construction company to fix their Excel quotation template. You can edit this out directly in the xml file (if you have access to Xcode or other software), or delete it after it's pasted into your spreadsheet. You have to go to "All" under Health Data and import a bunch of data you might not want. You can't go straight from "Blood Pressure", "Heart Rate", etc. (2) Not sure if anyone else was this clumsy, but I had trouble finding a way to get the xml file in Health. Or you could save the Libre file as a xlsx and then maybe M's instructions will work. Since I measure daily, I just entered the date for the first day, then grabbed the lower right corner of the cell and dragged it down the column to fill in the dates myself. (1) I couldn't find a way to edit the dates into a more readable format as M UND M describes for Excel.
At this point, you can format as you like, or copy data to Numbers or Excel if you're more comfortable there. In the "Mapped Cell" window, type "A1", then click Import. This should highlight all the data labels related to your records (type, source, unit, value, etc.).
In the window labeled "Map to Document", scroll down to "Record" and highlight it. Click on the folder icon under "Source File" and find your xml file. Under the Data menu I selected XML Source. I saved the xml file to the desktop, then opened a new spreadsheet in LibreOffice.
I couldn't figure out how to import xml data to Numbers or Excel for Mac 2011, but I found a way in LibreOffice using their Spreadsheet.
You probably already found that the export zip file shows detailed logs for every day on an hourly basis for the last week only, prior records at least in the export are summarized by day. If you need a conversion formula you can reply to this message stating as much. You will likely need to create an additional column for dates, as the 'startDate' and 'endDate' times are in a format that Excel won't recognize, if you need any date to your data anyway. The other choices only displays the data in columns. Choose 'OK'.ħ) If you click 'OK' with the default choice 'XML table in existing worksheet', data will be displayed in Excel table format, which will let you sort and filter data. If you have not found a way to format the XML data yet here is at least one way:Ģ) For Excel 2007 or more recent, choose the Data tab on the top.ģ) On the left side there is a 'Get External Data' block of choices, click the dropdown arrow on 'From Other Sources'.Ĥ) Click on the third choice 'From XML Data Import'.ĥ) Find your downloaded XML file and click 'Open'.Ħ) Excel will likely display a message that the source does not refer to a schema.
