Can I link to a Sheet Tab in an Excel Spreadsheet?

Dave

I have a 3 page spreadsheet that has been saved as an HTM document and
posted on a site. Everything works fine.

However it would be even more user friendly if I could link directly to a
particular sheet in the spreadsheet. I am using Excel 2000 and FP 2003.

Thanks

Try using the sheet name as a bookmark
<a href="workbookname.htm#worksheetname">the sheet</a>

Thanks for the quick response.

How do you bookmark a sheet in Excel? I did a quick search and did not get
a bookmark return.

I think that this IS the solution - thanks.

I know that I can bookmark the HTM version, but I would like to bookmark the
original Excel sheet.

I tried using the sheet name and no luck, but I think this will work if I
can figure out how.

Save each sheet as a seperate workbook.

It only works (using the sheet name) if you are linking to a .xls file
If you have a workbook w/ worksheets saved as .htm then the sheets are hidden windows thicket files
When you file Preview in Browser you can see the links by mousing over the sheet tabs

Each work sheet is in a hidden thicket folder named Workbook_files
(where "Workbook" is your file excel.htm filename w/o the extension)
And the sheet htm pages are numbered from 001 to 00X, as sheet001.htm thru sheet00X.htm
So a hyperlink to sheet 3 of the workbook myspreadsheet.htm would be entered as
myspreadsheet_files/sheet003.htm

Create a hyperlink to the work book
Then edit the hyperlink to add the sheet part

I appreciate your help.

I am using frames and FP2003, I don't know if this is the issue.

I set the link in the upper frame. When I mouse over the link, I get the
address of sheet002.htm. When I mouse over corresponding sheet tab, I get
the exact same link.

If I click the Second Sheet Tab all is well. If I click the link I created,
is launches the spreadsheet htm page, not the correct sheet of that
spreadsheet.

I know that I am missing something.

Thanks again

Resave your html from excel and remove all spaces and / in the file name, the file import it again
Looks like you now have an excel .htm named something like:
"Training 2004/12 month 2004d.htm"
Rename it to say
"Training_2004_12_mo_data.htm"
in which case the code would be
<a target="main" href="Training_2004_12_mo_data_files/sheet003.htm">

PS
Also could be the link is actually shorter because your file name is so long
Try a shorter name like
"Training04data.htm" for a link like
<a target="main" href="Training04data_files/sheet003.htm">

Ok - I am still not there:

I changed the folder and file names from
Folder name - Training 2004 to trg_2004
File name - 12 month 2004d.htm to 2004d.htm

Sheet 2 is stored in 2004d_files as sheet002.htm - This was created by Excel
when I converted the xls to a htm file

So the file structure for the link is
webroot/trg_2004/2004d_files/sheet002.htm

Is this link correct? Do I link directly to the sheet created by excel?

Thanks for the help.

If I understand
You have a web open in FP
In the FP web (under the root) you have a folder named: trg_2004
In that folder you have the excel .htm file named: 2004d.htm
That means you have a hidden cluster folder in that same folder named: 2004d_files
So a link from a page in the root web (say your home page) to the excel.htm would be
<a href="trg_2004/2004d.htm>Excel 2004 File</a>
and a link to the 2nd worksheet in that file would be
<a href="trg_2004/2004d_files/sheet002.htm>Excel 2004 File, Sheet 2</a>





| Ok - I am still not there:
|
| I changed the folder and file names from
| Folder name - Training 2004 to trg_2004
| File name - 12 month 2004d.htm to 2004d.htm
|
| Sheet 2 is stored in 2004d_files as sheet002.htm - This was created by Excel
| when I converted the xls to a htm file
|
| So the file structure for the link is
| webroot/trg_2004/2004d_files/sheet002.htm
|
| Is this link correct? Do I link directly to the sheet created by excel?
|
| Thanks for the help.
|
| | > Resave your html from excel and remove all spaces and / in the file name,

Yes!

I am using a 2 frame set, upper and lower where the upper frame contains the
links and the lower frame displays the spreadsheet.

The all you would need is to add a frame name target to the links in my post

Start by linking to the workbook to make sure you have the paths & link correct
- then adjust it to the worksheet

How does it convert it to html - by that I mean, does it export each sheet in the
xls file as a separate html file e.g.. sheet1 = page1.htm,
sheet2 = page2.html
sheet3 = page3.html etc

or does it just consider file.xls to be one file and convert all sheets to html?

I'm just guessing, but this *might* be the way it was done.

not in excel, in the html file exported from the xls file I think Dave means.

It exports each sheet separately into a folder created by excel. The sheets
are marked sheet001.htm, sheet002.htm and sheet003.htm.

So far so good!

However when I link to the independent sheets i.e. sheet003.htm,
sheet001.htm of the set always opens by default.

I have not figured out how to make the correct page open instead of
sheet001. The links are accurate, however, I do not know if there is code
that has to be added..
