Problem with GoExcel.FindRow

Anonymous · ‎03-31-2017

Can't I really can't figure it out...

I made a code that goes and look in an excel file. It finds the Stock Number in the column Stock_Number and adds the description of said material from the column Description_Materiau. (I joined the .xlsx file)

We have three computer working on drawings on the same server and this code works on 2 out of 3 computer.

The first error that pops up on the computer is:

Error in rule: DescriptionMateriau_iproperty_test, in document: TUNNEL.ipt

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC

and when you run the rule again it's:

GoExcel: Could not match the column title: "Stock_Number".

But if I paste the path of the .xlsx (the one used in the code) in the windows explorer of said computer, it will open. So the computer knows where to find the file and has access to it.

Here's the code:

'set the target document
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveEditDocument

    oPropSet2 = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties")

Hi Owner2229,

It did fix the part about not showing the last message box if the code wasn't in the list.

Thank you!

But it still doesn't work on my last computer. It works fine on the other two...

I'm cheking with the IT guy if it could be something on the server... But still I can open and edit the excel file on the computer so I really don't get why it wouldn't work...

Also note that the Excel file is in the external rule folder... So the computer definitely as access to it since it has access to all the external rules. This one being the only that doesn't work...

Owner2229 · ‎04-03-2017

Let's try to handle the inaccessible file exception:

Anyway, does it pop up an error message or something?

The issue also might be in Excel. Does (or did) the last PC have an other version of Excel or Inventor installed or the current reinstalled?

If you're not sure, create a simple rule that'll open an Excel file, write to it, save it and close it:

GoExcel.Open("C:\Path\ExcelFile.xls", "Feuil1")
GoExcel.Cell("A1").Value = "something"
GoExcel.Save()
GoExcel.Close(True)

If so, we'll have to handle this a bit differently (without GoExcel).

Dim oExcelPath As String = "\\192.168.7.10\dessins$\Inventor\iLogic\Liste_materiau.xlsx"
If Not System.IO.File.Exists(oExcelPath) Then
	MessageBox.Show("Can't access the Excel file.", "Inaccessible file")
	Exit Sub
End If
Dim oExcelSheet As String = "Feuil1"
Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
'Run juste si c'est un .ipt
If oDoc.DocumentType <> kPartDocumentObject Then Exit Sub
Dim propName As String = "Description_Materiau"
Dim propValue As String = "Description Materiau"
'Get a reference to the PropertySets
'We're really only using Design Tracking Properties in this case though
Dim oPropSet1 As PropertySet = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")
Dim oPropSet2 As PropertySet = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties")
Dim oPropSet3 As PropertySet = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor Summary Information")
Dim oProp As Inventor.Property
Try
	oProp = oPropSet1(propName)
Catch
	oProp = oPropSet1.Add("", propName)
End Try
oProp.Value = propValue

Dim SN As String = oPropSet2.Item("Stock Number").Value
If SN = vbNullString Then
	MessageBox.Show("Le num�ro de mat�riel n'est pas entr�", "Stock Number non-entr�")
	Exit Sub
End If
GoExcel.Open(oExcelPath, oExcelSheet)
GoExcel.TitleRow = 1
'Get the Excel row
Dim oRow As Integer = GoExcel.FindRow(oExcelPath, oExcelSheet, "Stock_Number", "=", SN)
If oRow > 0 Then
	'Get value from the Excel cell
	oProp.Value = GoExcel.CurrentRowValue(propName)
Else
	MessageBox.Show("Le num�ro de mat�riel n'existe pas dans la liste Excel. Ajouter le num�ro de mat�riel dans la liste ainsi que sa description et r�essayer.", "Description non-trouv�e")
End If
GoExcel.Close(True)

All of the computer are running Excel 2007 and Inventor 2017... They can work on shared filed on both software without any problem.

I added this part to my code:

If Not System.IO.File.Exists(oExcelPath) 
Then MessageBox.Show("Can't access the Excel file.", "Inaccessible file") 
Exit Sub 
End If

But I still get the error:

GoExcel: Could not match the column title: "Stock_Number".

ButI tried to change the path to an inexisting and it does work on my computer...

It also won't work with:

'I changed the path
GoExcel.Open("C:\Path\ExcelFile.xls", "Feuil1")
GoExcel.CellValue("C:\Path\ExcelFile.xls", "Feuil1","A1") = "something"
GoExcel.Save()
'Had to comment the last line out cause it doesn't open the file on either of the computer
'GoExcel.Close(True)

I get the error:

Error in rule: DescriptionMateriau_iproperty_test, in document: RA764-011616S2.ipt

n’a pas pu être trouvé. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030002 (STG_E_FILENOTFOUND))

But it does work on my computer...

I also tried

If Not System.IO.File.Exists("\\192.168.7.10\dessins$\Inventor\Design_2010\ExcelFile.xlsx") Then 
MessageBox.Show("Can't access the Excel file.", "Inaccessible file") 
Exit Sub 
End If

GoExcel.Open("\\192.168.7.10\dessins$\Inventor\Design_2010\ExcelFile.xlsx", "Feuil1")
GoExcel.CellValue("\\192.168.7.10\dessins$\Inventor\Design_2010\ExcelFile.xlsx", "Feuil1","A1") = "something"
GoExcel.Save()
'Had to comment the last line out cause it doesn't open the file on either of the computer'GoExcel.Close(True)

And I get the same error as above:

Error in rule: DescriptionMateriau_iproperty_test, in document: RA764-011616S2.ipt

n’a pas pu être trouvé. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030002 (STG_E_FILENOTFOUND))

But it does work on my computer...

At this point my guess is that the problem is with Excel.

I just tried switching the file to .xls (excel 97-03) instead of .xlsx but it doesn't change anything.

Still works on my computer and not on the other one.

Anonymous · ‎04-03-2017

Currently trying to go without the GoExcel.

Found this https://reinventinginventor.wordpress.com/2014/11/24/re-writing-the-goexcel-functions-for-use-in-ilo...

But I can't get it to work. This error pops on the line right before the Msgbox.

Can you post the part file from the computer that shows the problem? Or if the part is confidential, please post a simpler part file that produces the same error.

Every part on this computer produces the error...

And the same part on other computer are working. Even if I run the rule with my computer on the part (and it works), it doesn't work on the third computer. It gets the column title error.

MjDeck · ‎04-06-2017

Which version of Inventor are you running?
Please try this test.

After this line:

GoExcel.Open(oExcelPath, oExcelSheet)

add the line

MessageBox.Show("Cell A1 = " + GoExcel.CellValue(oExcelPath, oExcelSheet, "A1"), "Test")

What does the message say?

Inventor 2017 and Excel 2007

It doesn't work. Same error as when I tested writing something in an Excel file in post 5:

Error in rule: DescriptionMateriau_iproperty_test, in document: RA764-011616S2.ipt

n’a pas pu être trouvé. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030002 (STG_E_FILENOTFOUND))

Our IT guy will reinstall Excel on lunch time today. If this doesn't do it we will reinstall Inventor on the computer (Don't really wanna, don't feel like setting it up again)

MjDeck · ‎04-06-2017

Please try this test rule on a computer that doesn't have the problem and on the computer that does:

Dim oExcelPath As String = "\\192.168.7.10\dessins$\Inventor\iLogic\Liste_materiau.xlsx"
If Not System.IO.File.Exists(oExcelPath) Then
	MessageBox.Show("Can't access the Excel file.", "Inaccessible file")
	Exit Sub
End If

Dim excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Try
Dim workBook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(oExcelPath)
Dim a1 = workBook.WorkSheets(1).Cells(1,1).Value.ToString()
MessageBox.Show("Cell A1 = " + a1, "Test")
Finally
excelApp.Quit()
End Try

Reinstalled Excel but it doesn't change anything.

Next step was gonna be to reinstall Invenor but I tried the code you sent an it works on both computer!

Seems like GoExcel doesn't work on this computer. What could be the cause? My guess is that reinstalling Inventor would fix it, am I right?

Now how would I do findrow using this technique?

Owner2229 · ‎04-06-2017

Hey, sorry for late reply. This is the "other option" (without GoExcel) I spoke of.

It's an issue with Excel library. From my experience it occures on about 1/10 of computers.

Reinstaling Inventor wouldn't fix anything. The only way seems to be reinstaling whole system, and the issue might come back if you install new verion of Inventor or Excel.

The best way is probably using the Object Excel calling.

I already have the rest of the code reworked to use the Object Excel calling, but I've forgot it at work, so I'll send it to you tomorrow in the morning.

While you're waiting for the other Mike to provide a solution that doesn't use GoExcel, please try running the attached rule on both computers. It will show information about the Excel environment. Please post screenshots of the message boxes.

You can run this rule as an external rule, or copy and paste it into an empty part.

I attached the two printscreens.

Everything is exactly the same except it switched the two first row...

Thanks.
I've got an idea for a possible fix. If you can post the exact version of Inventor (from the Help > About dialog) on the computer with the problem, then I can post a patch for testing.

Thanks owner2229!

Gonna try this right away!

MjDeck the Inventor version is Build 199, Release: 2017.2.1- Date Wed 09/21/2016

On the other computer it's the same (and GoExcel works) and on my computer it's Build 196, Release: 2017 SP1 - Date Wed 07/13/2016 (and GoExcel works)

Thanks for your help!
