Is anybody here good with Sharepoint? I'm a new user, trying to develop stuff for our group to use. Our company currently uses Sharepoint 2007, without the use of Excel services. Thus far, my group only uses it to store files. We'd like to start adding more external content to display information on different pages, without having to open files. So, my current idea is to use Excel to create content that I want to display, such as project status charts. I wrote a macro, so that when I close my excel sheet, it saves a copy of the worksheet to a .htm file. Then, I display that htm file on my sharepoint page, using a Page Viewer Web part. This method works great, until I add hyperlinks. Hyperlinks created in Excel open within the webpart, so I have a page within a page. I really want the links to open the page directly. I know there are html tags to change how a link opens, but I don't have these options starting with Excel, or within the sharepoint options that I can tell. Anybody got any ideas?
Ok, I've figured out an easier question to ask. In excel, how do I change a hyperlink so that the html target:="_blank" or "_top" instead of target:="_parent" which seems to be the default?
I have to admit what line of work are you in that yoy would allow anyone to faff around with your files. No one can even see my drivehere. But I will put your query to our IT person here...
Thanks Miss Yz-ass. I'm an engineer in the automotive field. Our sharepoint is a secure network drive for our group only. We can setup different privileges based on the user, for read/write/no access. It's a good interface for collaborating data.
This is a different issue. Some versions of Sharepoint allow embedding excel directly into a page. We are cheap and don't pay for that, so I found a workaround, where I save my xls as htm, then display the htm directly on the page. The problem is how excel writes the details of the hyperlink, specifically the target field. Thanks though.
