Excel Automation Object Model

Microsoft has developed the Excel application with heirarachy of object model.We can do excel operations using excel object model.

Simple object model Example: Excel Application --> Workbooks--> Worksheet--> cells


=> Create an Excel File:

'Create a new Microsoft Excel object
Set myxl = createobject("excel.application")

'To make Excel visible
myxl.Application.Visible = true 
  
myxl.Workbooks.Add
wait 2

'Save the Excel file as qtp.xls
myxl.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs  "D:\qtp.xls"
     
'close Excel
myxl.Application.Quit

Set myxl=nothing

=>Create an Excel File , Enter some data , Save the Excel and close the Excel: 

Set myxl = createobject("excel.application")

'Make sure that you have created an excel file before exeuting the script.
'Use the path of excel file in the below code
'Also make sure that your excel file is in Closed state before exeuting the script.

myxl.Workbooks.Open "D:\qtp.xls" 
myxl.Application.Visible = true

'this is the name of  Sheet  in Excel file "qtp.xls"   where data needs to be entered 
set mysheet = myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

'Enter values in Sheet1.

'The format of entering values in Excel is excelSheet.Cells(row,column)=value
mysheet.cells(1,1).value ="Name"
mysheet.cells(1,2).value ="Age"
mysheet.cells(2,1).value ="Ram"
mysheet.cells(2,2).value ="20"
mysheet.cells(3,1).value ="Raghu"
mysheet.cells(3,2).value ="15"

'Save the Workbook

=>Read the data from Excel File:

Set myxl = createobject("excel.application")

'Make sure that you have created an excel file before exeuting the script. 
'Use the path of excel file in the below code
'Also make sure that your excel file is in Closed state
myxl.Workbooks.Open "D:\qtp.xls"

myxl.Application.Visible = true

'this is the name of  Sheet  in Excel file "qtp.xls"   where data needs to be entered 
set mysheet = myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

'Get the max row occupied in the excel file 
Row=mysheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

'Get the max column occupied in the excel file 
Col=mysheet.UsedRange.columns.count

'To read the data from the entire Excel file
For  i= 1 to Row
    For j=1 to Col
        Msgbox  mysheet.cells(i,j).value
    Next
Next

'Save the Workbook
myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Save

'Close the Workbook
myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Close

'Close Excel
myxl.Application.Quit

Set mysheet =nothing
Set myxl = nothing

?Compare Two Excel sheets Cell by cell:
Mismatch=0
Set myxl = createobject("excel.application")

'To make Excel visible
myxl.Visible = True

'Open  a workbook "qtp1.xls"
Set Workbook1= myxl.Workbooks.Open("C:\qtp1.xls")

'Open  a workbook "qtp2.xls"
Set Workbook2= myxl.Workbooks.Open("C:\qtp2.xls")

Set  mysheet1=Workbook1.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set  mysheet2=Workbook2.Worksheets("Sheet1")

'Compare two sheets cell by cell
For Each cell In mysheet1.UsedRange

'Highlights the cell if  cell values not match
       If cell.Value <>mysheet2.Range(cell.Address).Value Then
           'Highlights the cell if  cell values not match
           cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
              mismatch=1
       End If
   Next

If Mismatch=0 Then
    Msgbox "No Mismach exists"
End If

'close the workbooks
Workbook1.close
Workbook2.close

myxl.Quit
set myxl=nothing

=>Search for Particular value in Excel:

Set myxl = createobject("excel.application")

'Make sure that you have created an excel file before exeuting the script.
'Use the path of excel file in the below code
'Also make sure that your excel file is in Closed state before executing the script.

myxl.Workbooks.Open "D:\qtp.xls"
myxl.Application.Visible = true

'This is the name of  Sheet  in Excel file "qtp.xls"   where data needs to be entered 
set mysheet = myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

'Contents of Sheet1
'Name        Age
'Ram         20
'Raghu       15

'Select the used range in particular sheet
With mysheet.UsedRange  

' Data "Ram" to search
' Loop through the used range

            For each search_data in mysheet.UsedRange

            ' compare with the expected data
                         If search_data="Ram" then  
                        'make the cell with color  if it finds the data
                                    search_data.Interior.ColorIndex = 40 
                        End If
           next
End With

'Save the Workbook
myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Save

'Close the Workbook
myxl.ActiveWorkbook.Close

'Close Excel
myxl.Application.Quit

Set mysheet =nothing
Set myxl = nothing

?Copy an Excel sheet to another Excel sheet:
Set myxl = createobject("excel.application")

'To make Excel visible
myxl.Visible = True

'Open  a workbook "qtp1.xls"
Set Workbook1= myxl.Workbooks.Open("C:\qtp1.xls")

'Open  a workbook "qtp2.xls"
Set Workbook2= myxl.Workbooks.Open("C:\qtp2.xls")

'Copy  the used range of  workbook "qtp1.xls"
Workbook1.Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Copy

'Paste the copied values in above step in the  A1 cell  of  workbook "qtp2.xls"
Workbook2.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste =xlValues

'Save the workbooks
Workbook1.save
Workbook2.save

'close the workbooks
Workbook1.close
Workbook2.close

myxl.Quit
