Question

I have this code in JavaScript

           a= Excel.Workbooks.open("C:/work/ind12.xls").ActiveSheet.Cells.find("value");
           alert(a);
           Excel.close();



             Excel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
       Excel.Visible = false;
       alert( Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:/work/index.xls").ActiveSheet.Cells(1,1).Value);
       Excel.Quit();

This is giving me the value from the excel file , if it matched the value in excel it show the value else Null, but i also want to get the index of that value , is there a way to get the index of that value.

Thanks

When you say index, do you mean the row the value is on?

var excel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
var wb = excel.Workbooks.Open("C:/work/ind12.xls");
var ws = wb.ActiveSheet;
var cell = ws.Cells.Find("value");
alert(cell.Row);
excel.Quit();
