The SMAT workbook generator is a tool that takes the output from Microsoft SMAT and tranforms it into a single wookbook. Originally this was done as part of our engagements with customers within the FastTrack program, but we are releasing it here as OSS as other might find it useful.
Please find the latest release, download, and unzip the file. It contains the smatwb.exe as well as supporting files and DLLS. You may need to "unblock" the files after downloading depending on your system settings.
This tool runs on the command line and takes several parameters as described below.
The -s argument takes the path to the root of the SMAT output. This is the folder containing the "SummaryReport.csv" file.
smatwb -s "c:\path\to\SMAT\output"
smatwb -s "c:\path\to\SMAT\output" -o "c:\path\to\write\workbook\"
smatwb -s "c:\path\to\SMAT\output" -t Simple
| Param | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| -s | Source folder | none, required |
| -o | Output folder | ./Workbook |
| -t | Template Name | FastTrack |
| -tp | Path to template | none |
The workbook is generated and written based on a template, which is a macro-enabled Microsoft Excel template (.xltm). Two templates are built into the solution: "FastTrack" and "Simple". The FastTrack template is the default and contains FastTrack formatting and branding. You can switch to the simple template using the -t Simple argument.
If you would like to create and use your own template(s) you can download either of the existing templates and modify them as needed. Your custom template MUST 1) be an .xltm file and 2) have an empty tab named "Summary". You can add any other tabs, formatting, or code behind to your template. Note that if a tab already exists whose name collides with the name of a generated tab an error will be written to the log. Once your template is ready you can use the -tp "c:\path\to\my\temlate.xltm" argument to use it in the import.
