Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is a way to create a webpage (intranet) that will request data input from the user and then run an Excel macro on a remote machine and return the output of the macro to the user via the webpage.
The excel sheet currently requires a list of names in column A. When those names are entered columns B through Y automatically update via formulas that pull in data from a local database. After the data is pulled in, a macro can be run that ends up producing a list of all the data in sentence-form. This list is generated into a new, blank workbook and saved to a specific location.
I want to create a page that requests this list of names from the user. Once the user clicks "Go", a script (?) would run that essentially updates the excel sheet with the input data and runs the macro. The final list would then be returned to the webpage.
I'm not looking for a complete solution to this becasue I know this probably requires a ton of custom work. I'm just looking for a jump-off point. I'm not familiar with web applications at all and I'm just wondering where I would get started.
Thanks,
Joe
