With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Hyperlink in ASP page using Javascript to open a Chart Sheet in excel

Asked by aCCeSSgRanteD in Active Server Pages (ASP), Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, JScript

Tags: , ,

I have an ASP page that I want to have a hyperlink to open to a specific Chart Sheet in Excel.

I am able to open Worksheets fine, but Chart Sheets are another story.  I looked around and it looks like you can do this by creating a new worksheet and creating a macro that sends you to the chart by clicking on a cell.


**************************

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2")) Is Nothing Then 'When selecting Cell B2 which should be the palce of your so called hyperlink
      On Error Resume Next
      Charts("SpeadsheetChart1").Activate 'Chart Name
      If Err.Number <> 0 Then
          MsgBox "No such chart exists.", vbCritical, _
              "Chart Not Found"
      End If
      On Error GoTo 0
  End If
  End Sub
**************************

This works if I am using excel to hyperlink to the chart, but I am trying to link it from a webpage.  

Any Ideas?

I tried this ..
myApp.Worksheets(sheet).Range("B2").Select;
That only seems to select the cell.

If there is another way of doing this.. I'm open to try..
