Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7G SR2
Operating System:WinXP
Hello,
I would like to import several Excel datasheets (just one particular let say one named with "data") and export them into ASCII worksheets with the same names. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks.

Hi Jelena,
Not sure what you mean by ASCII worksheet. You can export to a simple text file (.txt) use File > Export ASCII. (But you can do that directly from Excel with File > Save As, then select a text format.) If you want to save as an Origin worksheet file (.ogw) use File > Save Window As.
...You can also use LabTalk's save command...
save -w wksname filename; // save wksname as an ASCII file
save -i filename.ogw; // save active window as an OGW file

save -w wksname filename;
- or -
save -wh wksname filename; // see wks.export object for formatting options
...This script opens a multiple file selection dialog and imports/exports the selected Excel files.
fdlog.dlgName$="Select Export folder";
%Z=""; // clear path variable
fdlog.OpenPath(Z); // where to export ASCII files
fdlog.dlgName$="Select Excel files";
fdlog.UseGroup(Excel);
// select Excel files
if (fdlog.MultiOpen() != 0/0)
{
loop (ii, 1, fdlog.MultiOpen.Count)
{
FDlog.Get(A, ii); // get iith file name
doc -a %A; // import file
save -w %H %Z%H.txt; // export as ASCII
}
}

Hi Jelena,
doc -a names the Origin worksheet after the Excel datasheet which is not necessarily the same as the xls filename so worksheet name conflicts might arise with the last script. Also, the script does not handle multiple datasheets and opens a prompt for each xls file. The following scrpt takes care of all of those problems. Note: naming conflicts are avoided by closing worksheets after their data are exported so the project will be empty on completion.
fdlog.dlgName$="Select Output Folder";
if( fdlog.OpenPath(Z) ) return;
fdlog.dlgName$="Select Excel Files";
fdlog.UseGroup(Excel);
if (fdlog.MultiOpen() == 0/0) return;
doc -e W {win -cd %H}; // close all worksheets
OpenAsExcel = system.excel.openAsExcel;
OpenAsPrompt = system.excel.openAsPrompt;
system.excel.openAsExcel = 0; // always import as Origin worksheet
system.excel.openAsPrompt = 0; // disable prompt
loop (ii, 1, fdlog.MultiOpen.Count)
{
FDlog.get(N, ii, 1); // %N=file name sans extension
FDlog.get(A, ii); // %A=file path\name
doc -a %A; // import Excel file
doc -e W {
save -w %H %Z%N_%H.txt; // save as ASCII
win -cd %H; // close wks
}
}
system.excel.openAsExcel = OpenAsExcel;
system.excel.openAsPrompt = OpenAsPrompt;
del -v OpenAs*;
