Description

This article illustrates how to create a profile using a URL in the Excel macro.

Info

Before you begin:

  • Before you enter the URL for a repository, ensure that it is a raw URL.
    A raw URL is defined as the part of the URL following the domain information and includes the query string, if present. For example, in the URL string http://www.contoso.com/articles/recent.aspx, the raw URL is /articles/recent.aspx

    Paste the file link into your browser's address bar. If the actual code is displayed in the browser, it is considered to be invalid or in an incorrect format. If the file downloads to your system, the macro can process the file and its contents.

      https://bitbucket.org/bobswift-test/testfiles/raw/1366d872db9bef51f030a36c94a6b19ba5079c33/SheetJSTableExport.xlsx
