Excel VBA connect to Excel application in Citrix

869 views Asked by At

I have been wondering how (and if) I can connect my local Excel to the Citrix version of Excel through VBA.

Background

We’re making budgets for our franchisees and stores, and in this process we’re using a lot of data output from our BI-system. The copy and paste process is very time consuming. We’ve found out that instead of using 10-15 different reports, we can manage by using 1 report with 10-15 different tables, and it will export into 1 workbook with 10-15 different sheets (one for each table). This export is made to the Citrix application of Excel.

What I need to do

I want to connect my local excel to the only workbook I have open through Citrix. I’m not sure if I need to create a gateway somehow through Citrix, or if it’s possible to recognize the open workbook without a gateway connection. If I’m able to connect to this workbook, everything else is fairly easy to make.

The question

Is it possible to make a connection between these two different Excel applications? If so, how should I start?

I tried using ActiveWindow, but since it’s not in the same application, it didn’t recognize it of course...

Thanks in advance
