I have my asp successfully creating excel file viewable through IE
using the header:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
If the user does not have excel installed they get a IE pop up that
downloads the asp page in question.
My question is there anyway to interrupt this and tell them that they
don't have EXCEL installed, rather than showing this download pop up.
If i am using ASP to extract data from an excel file, does excel definitely have to be installed on the web server? The file will be located on a separate folder away from the web server.

If it's not enabled I need to direct them to a page telling the member that, else continue and load the applet. I don't dabble in ASP at all but I've exhausted all other methods.I've tried the following code (as a test) which loads up the redirect regardless of Java status.

Response.Redirect "somewhere.php"

View Replies View RelatedI'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?

View Replies View RelatedI 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?

View Replies View RelatedI'm working on some reports, and have added the ability to
"download" the reports to excel. Not a big deal, fairly straight forward.
However, PHB wants to be able to create some pivot tables from said reports
(again.. no biggie) and when he goes to save the file, Excel wants to save
the file as a web page instead of and Excel spreadsheet.
Now.. I know the simple thing here is to just pick Excel from the drop down
box in the save as dialog.. but.. PHB would "prefer" to not have to do that.
Has anyone been able to jump this hurdle before? My good friend google
hasn't turned anything up. My preference is to give PHB the middle finger..
but alas.. the paycheck is keeping me from doing that.

I have an asp, sql business application. Want to give export option of all

I need on-site manager's to be able to view a list of records on our website
(which they already can do). They need to be able to select any/all fields
and then export these items to an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will
have dynamically created columns/rows to append and life is good.
What's the best way to go about this? I've used DTS to do this before, but
it's been a long time and I can't remember if there's a way to handle this
kind of stuff on a dynamic basis.
I guess my real question is: Is there a way to do this via ASP or should I
stick with a more SQL based approach?
Is it possible to copy all info on a page into excel so that it can be sorted?? I know how to get the page to load automatically into excel, using the -:
Code:
<%
response.contentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
%>
however I lose some functionality if I do this, i know i could add a button that just re-runs the pages to load the info into excel, however some of the pages may take a while and I want to reduce time and load on the server. So I justed would like to know if it is possible using a script of somesort so that clicking a button will copy the whole page and then paste it into excel??
I need to write an ASP page that will allow users to upload an Excel file,
the contents of which should then be imported into an SQL database.
Problem I am facing is how to do this efficiently. So far I have a page
that
will accept an upload, then display the data from the Excel file, my first
thought was to loop each row, then run an update/insert based on the data
found...Obviously this is not going to be very efficient, I'd exepect time
outs often
Has anyone got any ideas to get round this?

if rs("Item") = "" then
emptyfield = true
else

Is it possible for me to send the output of an ASP file to an Excel Sheet
View Replies View RelatedI can connect to an Excel worksheet and get records with no problem, if
I know the worksheet's name. However, when my users upload their excel
files, I don't know what the active sheet they want to work from is
called.
I have two options - either force them all to give the saem name to
every worksheet they upload, or providing them with an input field
where they can provide the name of the relevant worksheet
Rather than force my users to name all their worksheets "sheet1", is
there a way I can use ASP to find out the names of the worksheets in a
workbook?
You know how you can connect an ASP page to a SQL server to retrieve data from a database/table and display it. Well what I want to do is connect my ASP page to an Excel spreadsheet and retrive the data and display the info on my ASP page. How do i go about doing this?

I'm creating a Excel file from a recordset with ASP which is working fine, if you choose to save the file, by default the 'Save as type' option is 'xls' which is correct. The problem is that i'm trying to use the spread sheet as a datasource and display the results. This is giving me an error. If i then open up the spreadsheet and save as the 'Save as type' now displays 'webpage html'. If i then change it to 'xls' i can then use it as a datasource without any problems.
Is there a way i can save the file and have it remain as 'xls'?The code i'm using to create the spreadsheet is:
<%
'output to spreadsheet
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
%>
