At work we have to real-time generate a report(excel format) which involves a number of table joining. So to export into excel contentType 'application/vnd.ms-excel' is used, and data are written as table, looping each row of recordset data as table row.
Problem is when user hit export and attempt to open/save the file, file would then be downloaded at constant rate. But during this time, entire server would be irresponsive and in a hang-like state, this is expereinced by all users.
When they attmept to visit another asp page they would wait until the page eventually timeout. This will continues until the report was completely generated and downloaded by users.

I'm able to export my data to an excel spreadsheet using ASP with ease. But how do you handle when your records exceed the amount of what Excel can handle, which is 65,536 records.

I retrieve data from the database and display on ASP, then I export these data to a file, like Excel (the best) or text file. Is it possible? I think it is possible, but how can I do that?
How do i export content of an ASP page to multiple worksheets of an excel workbook. For example i'm having an asp page which contains a combo box. The user selects a center from the combo box and results are displayed. On clicking 'Export to Excel' i'm exporting the page to excel.
If the user is going to select 'All' option from the combo box, results for all centers are displayed. Now while clicking 'Export to Excel', the content of each center should be exported to a single worksheet. If 10 centers are there, then the workbook should contain 10 worksheets (sheet1, sheet 2... sheet10).
i have this strange problem i generate an excel file in my computador and works fine but, when i put the program in my server it generates always the same file, for example:
i enter the client 141 who has for one code produt the price of 2,65 and i generate the excel file and it works fine but, when i enter the client 534 who has the price 2,67 it generates the same price (2,65), why???!!! Code:
I am populating a schedule using access db, then export that to an excel file using "content-disposition".... I need to add some excel formula while populating the data, how will i do that? any sample??
my script is working properly but i want to create another sheet of the Excel file because i will export multiple tables from the dtabase to an Excel file with multiple sheets. it only creates one sheet?
I have googled all over the place to get an answer so I'm hoping there some guru's here that can help. I do a search on my database and return a recordset which I page the results at 10 per page. The data is such that the smallest possible recordsets are around 100 records and the largest could be up to a few thousand.
I want to be able to export the results to excel but give the user an option to export the current page or the entire recordset. Maybe i'm battling with the logic which is messing the code up. I'd post some code here but I'm not sure whats useful or not and likeI said, I've been fighting with this so its a bit of a mess.
At the moment the user goes from the results page to an exports page that has a form on it that processes the export. Well it doesn't work but thats the idea. How do I pass the recordset and its page size to the export page so that if the user had browsed to page 9 for example and wants those 10 records?
I'm having a couple issues with exporting recordsets to Excel:
I have two almost identical scripts. One gets a sql query passed to it via a hidden value in a form (export.asp - exports the particular recordset) and the other simply selects * (export_all.asp - exports the whole table). Code:
In Microsoft Excel Application, in each worksheet you cannot insert more than 65,536 rows in a single worksheet.
So if the user tries to download reports which crosses 65,536 rows it will fail and getting timed out.I need to export a 90 thousand plus records (does not matter how many excel work sheets).
My asp/sql server application gets an error, but only when you use the Excel export option:
<% Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %> (very popular w/ users)
I think somebody entered a string of characters that Excel does not like:
So I believe (but not sure) some character(s) in a Ntext sql server field "desc_text" is confusing the Excel file and causing it to error (and crashes Excel)
So far, I have attempted three fixes with no success
1) Tried to convert the data type in the SQL query: CAST(sr.desc_text AS VARCHAR(255))
2) Tried to convert the data type in the vbscript: <% desc_text1 = Cstr(rs.fields.item("desc_text").value)%>
3) Tried append an apostrophe to the beginning of the field so that Excel would not read it as a formula. (this might have worked, but Excel does not treat an apostrophe the same from an export as it does if you typed it in directly)
Also, if you have any ideas on how to isolate and identify the specific record and character(s) that is causing the error, that would be great. I have it narrowed down to a record set of 600 records, and the error occurs if I include beyond the 130th character position. The problem does not occur if I use CAST(sr.desc_text AS VARCHAR(129))
Sorry if this is the wrong place but does anyone have a script which will export data from an access database to an excel spreadsheet allow a user to edit and then import the edited excel spreadsheet into the db?
