I have my excel spreadsheet generating just fine. What I'm trying to do is format each cell to something other than "general" I've figure out how to format to currency:
<td>$<%=variable%></td>
I really need to format to "text" though. Anyone have a good link to a chart that explains how to format to all of the different possibilites, or just how to format to text?
I'm successfully using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" to generate an Excel spreadsheet from an asp page and a SQL Server database.One of the columns contains data that is a long number (13 characters eg. 1122334444566).The spreadsheet does not display the number correctly because the column is formatted as 'General' so it displays 1.12233E+12.To correct this in Excel I simply change the column type to number. How do I get around this in asp.
I know I could use fso to create the spreadsheet on the server using a template, but I prefer to do it on the client side so that I don't accumulate a whole lot of xls files on the server.
I am creating a website in which users will be able to query an sql database by several different criteria (i.e.- name, department,supplier, part#, date). What will return to the user will be a webpage with the column headings that they selected in their search criteria (i.e.- name, supplier, part#) and below those column headings, a list of the results.
I want the user to be able to print this report or export it to an excel file, this is the part that is tripping me up.Any ideas about this? Am I going about it all wrong?
I'm using the Excel application object to create a spreadsheet from a recordset. Everything seems to work fine except any date fields are not displaying properly. For example 4/18/2004 is displaying as 38095 in the spreadsheet.
I loop through the recordset to display each row. The line that actually writes out the field is:
What would be involved with having an Excel spreadsheet displayed in an ASP page? The additional problem is that the file name changes on a monthly basis. For example, this month's file name is 'Feb 2005.xls'.
I have asp project where large volume of data entry would be done. I am trying to find out if there is any tool that can allow me to build asp application where the forms would be like excel spreadsheet.
I'm exporting tables to Excel, but they seem to format with an extra row between every record. The table is output in HTML on one line, so it doesn't seem to be a white space problem.
I've been reading through all related Excel posts now for about an hour as well as Googling for my answer and I'm getting even more cornfuzed as I go. I have an Existing Excel Spreadsheet, I need to populate certain fields of the form with values from a Database.
I have no problems connecting to my database and pulling up the data, but I have no idea where to begin with opening my existing spreadsheet, then telling it which worksheet to use and then how to populate the fields I need.
I'm not looking for an entire code handout, this is just something that I haven't attempted before in ASP. If someone could just give a quick example of first opening the existing spreadsheet, selecting the correct worksheet and populating 1 field, I think I can figure everything else out from there.
I want 2 create a survey Web Form that people can fill in. I then want the data entered to be saved to an Excel spreadsheet located on a server.
Can .ASP handle this kind of task? and if so does anyone know the code required to perform this function?
The data entered will be RAW and the .ASP (or whatever required programming) will need 2 process and convert the data into the spreadsheet.
Also, would it be possible to run this from a stand alone machine so that the web form, .ASP and spreadsheet are all contained on the machine and have no outside influences?
I've inherited this asp page. It builds an Excel spreadsheet, but it's not putting the date in the spreadsheet and I don't know why. here is the code (see bold-red line): ...
I have a 2000 server running IIS 5. I need to send approximately 10000 emails to recipients from an excel spreadsheet with a small word document. These are requested emails, no spamming. I don't have a clue as to where/how to start this.
I'm using the above lines to generate a spreadsheet from a recordset. One of the recordset fields has HTML data.
Whenever the spreadsheet is generated,it will place some of the HTML data into new rows. Same appropriate column,but different rows. Is there a way around this?Is there an easy to create a DBF or CSV file that would work?
i am having a problemn thinking on a solution to make a web application. This is the scenario: I have to make an application that should catch some user data on the screen and pass it to a database. Here is the problemn: the data that the user will pass is huge. I am talking about some columns and 27 rows.
3 rows as caption rows and the other 24 to get the data. How can i do that? I thought about making columns with textboxes (with ids like R1C1, R2C2, R1C4...) in a dynamic table inside a form and submit it.
But the boss wants an excel spreadsheet look into it. I am relutant about using OWC because first, i don't know if the users will have the office installed and secondly because if they do have office installed, how can i know what version of office is everybody using? Code:
I have created an asp page that resemebles that of a spreadsheet. It contains mostly javascript functions. The page functions ok except when there are a significant amount of row entered. Then there is a delay tabbing from cell to cell -- but only cells that have function(s) associated with it. Is there something that I can do to speed this up?
It works fine for some 60+ manufacturer listings. However, it balks on one single manufacturer. By chance, this manuf has 18,000+ records. The others, less than 10,000. Is there a limit to the number of records I can convert to XLS...?
I am writing an ASP page that uses the Spreadsheet Office 200o Web Component. I need a cell to open up a popup window when clicked. I can only get a new page to display using hyperlink. I want this to be a popup page like the one you can create using window.open().
Can this be done? Can I do this using some window/Spreadsheet events, can a SpreadSheet cell contain a call to a javascript method? I would like one of the columns to contain not only a hyperlink but also be displayed as an image of type *.gif. Is this doable?
I have created a Spreadsheet object that I need to stream directly to a file through the browser. I can not save this file, that I would then stream, to the web server, even though this would save me a lot of aggravation.
Since Microsoft seems to see no value in providing any documentation for their OWC 11 components, I am just one of many developers groping around trying to find how to use this.
I am semi-new to ASP. I'm in the process of making several reports and I wanted to condense one of our reports to fit nicely on a web page. This report consists of about 5 different queries.
I want to make a table like the one below in ASP. I thought I would just make a table and go from there but I quickly realized I can't.
I would like to know if and how it would be possible to create an entry-screen that allows the user to enter data in a database, using a spreadsheet/table-like entry screen. The screen would start of having headers for each column/field and an empty row underneath. When each column in the row is filled in, the user must have an option to add another row.
I'm look for the code/explanation that helps me set up the entry screen, and the ASP code to add the entered data in the database.
I can imagine that each entered row is added to the table when a new row is added, or a button is pressed and then the screen refreshes with the newly entered information and a new row...

I've an asp page which brings back a query and displays it in a table. The query takes around 30 seconds. Once the page displays they will have an option to send it to excel.
From the examples I've seen they all require the query to be re-ran again in asp (i.e. server side scripting) and as it takes 30 seconds to start with I want to try and take out the repeat of the query. Does anyone know of any way you can do this in asp by passing the already executed table to asp or via any other method?

I have an ASP file which is opened in MS Excel. I have used the "formatNumber" function to set the number of decimals for variables which are displayed. however Excel cuts off any zeros at the end. e.g 4.650 displays as 4.65
the number of decimals I want to display to varies across the page, e.g. I cant say "display the whole with 3 decimal places" Is there any code I can put in my ASP page to stop Excel truncating zeros at the end?
