Re: Writing 4D Data into an Excel Template
Hi Pat, Thanks for the mail. Yes, I had written to Rob himself for his opinion too. I’m quite sure his plugin would be of great help in this project and have included it as part of the proposal to the client. Thanks again.

Writing 4D Data into an Excel Template
Hi, I would like to ask if anyone is aware of a plugin or utility that can quickly turnaround an export function where data from a 4Dv17.2 database (Windows Server) gets written directly into different worksheets inside ONE Excel document template? The 2nd challenge is to identify the row-ID for each record and store it on other worksheets in the Excel template every time the same record is referenced. Say for example, the first worksheet is titled “General” and contains customer records and the starting row for the first customer record is row 5. Subsequent worksheets would bear a row-ID column such that reference to the same customer record would now be populated with “5” as the row-ID. How can we identify this row-ID whilst populating the spreadsheet with a 4D data export on the fly? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
