Hello everyone,

 

We have "client_server" environment and our goal to automate updating multiple excel tabs and specific cells using EG.

 

When i had standalone license, it was easy to do using X window but since X windows disabled on the production server, I cannot do.

 

So i tried to use ODS which gives you flexibility (start_at, tab name) but the problem is that it generates new one and overwrites existing file so I cannot update per se.

 

Does anyone have any idea how it could be resolved?

 

Thank you!

What did you try and what does no results mean?

 

It is designed to work on a server as well.
