Here is what I need to happen, without a single user action:
- Data resides in a CSV file on a SharePoint directory.
- SharePoint then loads the data file into excel and refreshes pivot tables.
- SharePoint then copies the newly updated file to another folder on SharePoint for users.
I understand I need to be using VSTO code, but I can’t figure out it what I am asking for is possible.
I can’t have a user perform any of the steps in this workflow, it needs to be automated. Please assume the updated data file will be updated automatically. I appreciate all your suggestions and maybe your solution will end up in our company, Coke. 😉
I achieved this with writing a C# console application. It opened excel ran the scripts and then saved the file to a tmp directory. From there I iterated through the temp directory and placed the files on the Sharepoint server.
