Exporting Webpage To Excel Formatting Problem
I have a webpage that is taking input from a form and using it as
criteria to select data out of an sql database. The page displays an
html table with the results. The user can then click a button "excel"
to open or save the file as an excel document. This works, and
everything in the excel document is formatted fine except for the
first column which in this case is "Part Number". The problem is that
this part number: 883100105100 is displayed like this: 8.831E+11 in
excel.
I am not sure how to format the excel cells using the asp/html
so that it doesn't try to throw everything into scientific notation.
I have thought that maybe if I gave excel a string value instead of a
number value then it would fix the problem but I am pretty new to asp
and am not sure how to do this. Below is the block that throws
everything into excel in the first place. Code:

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.

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 am trying to export a recordset to an excel file using the Content Type below in the header.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Which works fine however the problem is that when I have a number in a column with a leading zero the zero gets dropped. E.G. 01760942 will be displayed as 1760942 . How can I rectify this?

Is this possible? I am planning to export data from SQL that generates HTML

ther a script(JS or VB) that will automatically export or open the Query to
it.

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:

I am writing a web-based information portal and one of the requested features is that some data be outputted not to the screen, but to an MS Excel file.
I could not find much information on this topic, but I'm sure there's a way. All the database searching is in place, the recordset has been built, I just need an interface to send data into Excel as opposed to a text file, or to the screen. Code:

I have a webpage containing a link to a spreadsheet
<a href="somefilename.xls">click</a>
When the link is clicked a spreadsheet opens in internet explorer
using some sort of excel COM object.
I would like to enable the user to edit the spreadsheet and then
save the changes in the existing file. How ever IE only offers
"save as" not "save" and it dosent suggest the original filename.
The users already have write acces to the area where the excel
sheet is published. How do i make IE suggest the original filename
or enable the "save" menu??

I have a report that generates XML from an ASP document from an MS SQL database.
I have the document outputting to Excel very nicely, and I've done my research and got the XML to format nicely, and I can even modify the page margins and center the document to the page.
My problem is whenever I go to generate the report with header data added in the XSL document, I get an error. Additionally, for some reason I can't get the page to show up in landscape. Here are the relevant code sections (all in XSL document): Code:

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:
objSpreadsheet.Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = objField.Value
Any suggestions?

I came across a problem when importing my data results into Excel. The whole table outputs perfectly but a particular field which is generally large (13 characters long) presents as some random integer which shouldn't be the case. I click on Tools -> Format Cells and change its value to number and to 0 decimal places and great it works.
Am I able to do this before I get into Excel? Or would this always have to be done by the user?

I've got a code that takes SQL query and creates a downloadable csv file, and it works fine. But, there is data that is getting seperated by commas that I don't want to be seperated. Like "Last Name" that is "Drake, Dr.".
I tried creating a tab delimited file (which I did) but it opens all wacky if I leave it as a csv file, and if I change it to txt then the download box doesn't open. The end users could select all the text and create their own file, but these end users are in desperate need of as much assistance as possible. Here is the code I am using:Code:
