I am using a SQL database, and Classic ASP and trying to generate an Excel file with my results, but the table is displaying as HTML in the browser instead of prompting the user to download/open the file. below is my code (edited data table for length). Anyone know why I am not being prompted, but shown the data via the webpage?
View RepliesI want to create an Excel object from an ASP page. Basically, the input parameters to the Excel would be from the ASP. I know ASP and I know VBA, but I haven't used both of them together. Here's what I would like to do -
The ASP should generate an Excel report by passing 2 parameters to the Excel application (I have done this independently; without interfacing with ASP).
I know that I can create an excel handle from the ASP as -
Set MyExcel = Server.CreateObject("Excel.Application")
I dont know where the VBA code has to go? DO I have to include it in the ASP?
I am using the code below to create an excel document from data that is returned from an sql query. The formatting of the excel document is pretty and all is good unless I hit the back button and run my query a second time, or a third time (I haven't made it past 3
times). Basically what happens is every time I do this, excel does not close once I hit my back button. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Another problem is that when I run the query it just opens excel within my browser, is there any way to make it ask if you want to save or open the file?
I basically throw this code at the top of the html doc: .....
With response.contenttype = "application/vnd.ms-excel", I can easily export my data to Excel which is embeded and shown within a browser. If I'm going to save the Excel file through ASP programming, which method can I use? I need to save the data to Excel file with dynamic name (the file name should contain key values and appended with system datetime).
View Replies View RelatedI am exporting data from a web application to Excel to allow users to manipulate their data. I can open up the data in Excel. If the user wants to view information about 3 separate clients, how can I put that information on 3 separate worksheets.
I can display the 3 clients on one worksheet, but I need it to be on 3 separate worksheets.
I have a new approach to saving charts from server-side Excel when ASP pages are processed. The charts show weather data that is updated every 15 minutes in a database, and instead of just automating the chart production so that every chart is generated every 15 minutes, 24 hrs/day, it seems smarter to generate up to date charts when people want to look at them. But I'm not sure if this is the best approach.
This is what I can do from an ASP page to dynamically chart data:
- run Excel on the server
- open a Worksheet that has a customized chart for a range of cells.
- insert new data in the charted range of cells (chart auto-updates).
- save the chart to a gif file.
- insert the gif into the html page viewed by the client.
Using this approach is convenient because I can customize charts to look exactly as I want without having to find the documentation to automate the chart formatting.
Is it possible to run Excel once on the server, and let all requests for charts use this one running instance of Excel? The alternative is that Excel will run once for each chart request, this seems like it could get out of hand pretty quickly if a lot of people are trying to look at charts at the same time.
Are there better ways to generate charts dynamically on the server?
I need to be able to generate an invoice from an ASP page. Currently, the invoice is drawn in a web page and my client prints the page from their browser. This doesn't work too well in terms of graphics resolution and also requires endless positioning tweaking on my part.
Is there a way to use Word or Excel on the client, and send the invoice data down so that some sort of invoice template could be used? This needs to work on a Mac and ideally on a PC as well. The client machines have Office installed. I'm thinking this would be the best way to eliminate the positioning and resolution problems.
Is it possible to use ASP +/ VBScript to automatically fill in certain fields of an HTML form with data generated from what the user typed in another field?
For example, the user needs to input 24 consecutive weeks worth of forecast data. If everything is done manually, they'll have to type in a date for each of the week. I would like the form to automatically fill in the following 23 dates (each one week later than the previous field) after the user fill in the first week's date. How do I do that?

View Replies View RelatedI have two questions on exporting data to Excel using ASP (w/o converting
formatted excel file into web page and then plug in the dynamic data):
1. Can we export data into different sheets at Excel?
2. Can we do graph at export?
I know the basic way of doing this when you have a static set of
spreadsheets but I need to be able to process different spreadsheets
every day. These spreadsheets are sent to us by an outside auditing
firm without named ranges. They have a consistent format. Is there a
way to read a specific set of cells without having a named range? Or
is there a way to name a range with ASP? I am open to any options
here. Going through and creating named ranges is the only thing that
wont work sicnce it would take more work than processing the files by
hand.

View Replies View RelatedI have an intranet application written in asp using access as the backend database. My users have requested they be able to download certain data into an excel spreadsheet. I have limited asp experience and could use some help.
Ideally, the user would be prompted to save and name the file (save as dialogue) and then the data would be selected and saved into that file. I know I can use a select statement to select data directly into an excelspreadsheet using:
SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database=" & lcPathFile & "].[Sheet1] FROM myTable
But I'm not sure that is the right approach.
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?
