I have a report that the user can view either on a page with HTML or they can open it in Excel.
I am attempting to change the content type with this statement:
response.contentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
But it appears that when I do this I lose all my request variables and my recordset is null.
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.
What is the syntax to connect to an excel spreadsheet as well displaying contents of a column.
View Replies View RelatedI 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?

View Replies View RelatedI'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

I loop through the recordset to display each row. The

I have been able to successfully export data to Excel via ASP, however there is a small problem.When the file download window is displayed (to export to excel), you have have several options: open, save and cancel. Pressing the save button allows you to save a *.xls file to your HDD (THIS WORKS FINE). However, most users will push the open button. By doing so, the same screen will appear again with the same options: open, save and cancel. Pressing the open button again causes MS Excel to open (as expected) and then a dialog with the following message appears: "C:Documents and Settings<user name>Local SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5BIOJDDG5<filename[1].xls> could not be found".
As most users will probably press the Open button, I want to find a solution to this problem.
I am trying to export a dynamically generated table to excel. I have used following code for the same
Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-excel"
On some machines with excel 2000 version it is not working. The problem is that i have coded a session check for the user in that page and page is not getting the session value & it is redirecting the user to homepage for login in that excelsheet itself. That means instead of showing expected report ,excel sheet is showing contents of home page. I am not getting what is the connection of excel version with session.
I am trying to export a result set as an excel spread sheet. Most of the time this works as expected, when a user chooses to save as excel the browser pop-up a save as dialog to allow the user to save the spreadshet with a .xls name. Some times the browser will open up the file as text file within the bvrowser itself? These are my two lines of code to prompt the save as dialog for a Browser:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader "Content-
disposition", "attachment;filename=ReportsName.xls"
I do not use any HTML to write out the Response from the Database rather just plain text and VBTab for a new column and VBCrLf for a new line.
....is it the posssible to:
format a field as "currency" or "number"?
format a field as a formula?

View Replies View RelatedI'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 am trying to export a recordset to an excel file using the Content Type below in the header.

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?

1.) I've done this using macros in excel but I can't get the macros to run with the security of the xls file. I can't change the security, how can I make that particular macro safe?
2.) Now that I have macros running in excel, i'd like to know how to implement them into my asp page. I can't just copy and paste my macro b/c it wouldn't know what file it's looking for. I need help putting a macro on my page pointing at any given xls (dynamically as they will change)
3.) When running the macro in excel, i have problems with the output. Currently (until i get a better grasp on getting it running) i am using a macro from MSDN called quotecommaexport (which obviously makes a comma separated list of the data from excel) and the problem is when the xls shows ########## instead of the value b/c of lack of space.
It works when I span out the column and shows the value, the correct value is exported. Otherwise, it exports "#############" which does nothing for me. How can i get it to export the value without me physically spanning out the columns to give the value room. (I know this question may not make sense) Code:
The code below (partial) should export a file as Excel when the button near the bottom is clicked. The example I pulled the concept from uses a GridView for binding. I don't need to display it, just export it, so I created ExcelGrid visible=false at the bottom. The Response.Write(strQuery); is never getting executed. I get:
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Control 'ExcelGrid' of type 'GridView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.
I'm almost positive (from what you see below) that my ExcelGrid is inside the form tag, which contains the runat=server.
Any ideas? It works when you pull that code and just run the rest of the form so the runat=server is working for all of the other controls! Code:
