First of all, just so you know, we don't do skin requests - we can gladly help with advice and bits of code where needed, but we will not do the work for you. It's your skin, your interest, and we can only teach you how to do it yourself (if you want to learn and put a little effort into it, that is).Hi everyone,
I am looking for help in this forum, I have some data in excel file, I want to display this data in my desktop using Rainmeter.
What I Want?
Want to display data only match with system date, for example if I open my computer to 04 January 2024, it will display the all data related to only 04 January 2024.
Note:
1.Single date can have multiple occurrences of data or can have single line of data. So it will must display all the data from related date.
2.I am attaching images for demo what data I have and how I want to display it.
I am novice to programming, so help me to do this, any help is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Secondly, what you want, while simple in terms of principles, it's not that simple in terms of implementing it. It can be done, but as a novice in programming, it might be a bit too much for you to take at once. In your particular case, since Rainmeter cannot "read" Excel files, you would have to:
- export / save your data (preferably, only the result of an Excel query for stuff matching the current date, as per your description) to a .csv / .txt file, from an Excel macro
- since the resulting file would now be basically a text file that Rainmeter can parse, use a WebParser measure with its URL option set to that local file to retrieve it
- further manipulate the text retrieved from the file by using a (RegExp) Substitute added to the desired measures, according to your needs
An example of what would generally take to do what you want (except the date filtering, which would be simpler to do directly in Excel before exporting) in this thread:

The above includes some things you probably don't need, like a few tricks to display the result in "columns", but it should be enough to give you an idea of how such an objective can be approached.
