Hello, im using Mathematica v7.

I am developing an application that manipulates and produces a table
in excel. But then, by applying the Dynamic command, attempting to
export the table published previously only exported the command itself
(Dynamic[]).

There is any way to export the table "updated", without having to
upgrade the notebook via the option on the menu?

Thank you very much, happy holidays.

Make use of the function Setting to get the value of the Dynamic
object. Here is a simple example:

In[6]:= y=Dynamic[x]

Out[6]= 9

In[7]:= x=9

Out[7]= 9

In[8]:= FullForm[y]

Out[8]//FullForm= Dynamic[x]

In[9]:= FullForm[Setting[y]]

Out[9]//FullForm= 9

On object wrapped in Dynamic evaluates to that object wrapped in Dynamic. It's
a bit like wrapping that object in Hold[]...the exporters won't really
understand the wrapper or know what to do with it. You need to pass Export[]
the data directly, not the data enmeshed in other structures like Dynamic or
Manipulate.

You should read both the "Introduction to Dynamic" and "Advanced Dynamic
Functionality" tutorial (referenced at the end of the documentation on Dynamic),
as well as my MathGroup post here...

...if you want to more deeply grok exactly how Dynamic works and how it
interacts with the system.

You are impressive David!.

I sincerely thank you very much, as you say I applied the Setting[] command
successfully and exported dynamic data table successfully.
