RE: CF to excel
One possibility amongst others is that cfcontent is disabled in the administrator. The first thing to do is to get the actual error message from coldfusion as well as the error code (HTTP 500 = "something went wrong" - a little more info might come in handy). Check the error log file for that. Also, it looks like you have so called "friendly HTTP errors" on in IE - don't do that. Go to Tools -> Internet Options... -> Advanced -> Browsing (in IE) and make sure the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" checkbox is unchecked. Or maybe you are using a site wide error handler? /t >-Original Message- >From: Eric Creese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 4:47 AM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: CF to excel > >Okay I tried your suggestion and got the same error > > The page cannot be displayed > There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach >and it cannot >be displayed. > >--- >--- > > > > > > HTTP 500 - Internal server error > Internet Explorer > >- Original Message - >From: "Dawson, Michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "CF-Talk" >Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 9:32 PM >Subject: RE: CF to excel > > >> I use this with success: >> >> >> >> >> [html content goes here...] >> >> >> This code snippet should prompt you to download/save each spreadsheet >> w/o opening Excel directly. >> >> M!ke >> >> -Original Message- >> From: Eric Creese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 9:22 PM >> To: CF-Talk >> Subject: CF to excel >> >> How come the following will not work.

RE: CF to excel
Good question. If the page is not well-formed enough for Excel to work, it may have errors when running the page only in the browser. Also, make sure you are not just refreshing the actual page with the excel data in it. You will need to click on a link, or submit a form, that eventually calls the page. Refreshes can generate errors when sending non-HTML data through the response.

CF to excel formatting questions
I'm using the basic call to excel (as explained by BF in his book) because I do know that all my users have excel. My questions: 1. Can you add an excel toolbar- I want the users to be able to sort the information on any of the columns. 2. Is there any way to get it so that the headings can wrap. Some of my headings are long so instead of making a long stretchy heading. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: cf to excel formatting problem
thinking aloud. 1) export / import as a text field 2) single quote at the front of the field How are you importing / exporting? Eric Dawson From: Nathan Shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: cf to excel formatting problem Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2001 10:48:29 -0800 (PST) I am exporting some data to Excel and one of the fields is zip code. Excel is stripping all leading 0's (zeros) off of the zip codes. I need it to leave the zip code alone, i.e. treat it as text instead of a number. Any ideas anyone? So far, I have tried: 1) Using an obscure ASCII char in front of the zip. RESULT: Excel puts in a box when it encounters an ASCII char it does not understand 2) Enclosing the zip in both single quotes and double quotes. RESULT: Excel leaves the quotes in instead of treating them as a text qualifier 3) Looked at the Allaire forums, where I saw the same question asked but not answered. 4) Read up on Excel at cfcomet, but most things there are a little overkill for what I am trying to do.

Re: cf to excel formatting problem
If you open the file directly into excel, this happens. (I deal with a lot of UPC's with leading zeros). However, if you open excel, then import text file, you have the opportunity to tell it how to treat each column (selecting text for your zip column) and everything is then cool. All else fails, I put a single quote in front of the number. That's Excel's internal notation that something is text and sometimes it works, sometimes it leaves the quote there. I haven't figured out why. > I am exporting some data to Excel and one of the > fields is zip code. Excel is stripping all leading 0's > (zeros) off of the zip codes.

cf to excel formatting problem
I am exporting some data to Excel and one of the fields is zip code. Excel is stripping all leading 0's (zeros) off of the zip codes. I need it to leave the zip code alone, i.e. treat it as text instead of a number. Any ideas anyone? So far, I have tried: 1) Using an obscure ASCII char in front of the zip.

Re: cf to excel display issue
Hi Janine, If you're using oracle, there's a great way around this (and I'd assume sql server has something similar). Use the nvl function in your query like so: SELECTnvl(columnname, 0) FROM yourtable. nvl basically replaces nulls with something else. The only caveat is that the replacement must be of the same datatype as the original column. So, if you don't want zeros to show up for a number column, you'd have to do a replace in your cfoutput to replace the zeros with "null" or something similar. Hope that helps. -Deanna Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
cf to excel display issue
I have set up an excel sheet to show results of a search. I also want to add another search- when the field is null or X. The query works, however, it does not show up correctly on the excel sheet. 1. The excel sheet does not line the nulls under the correct headings. No matter where on the sheet the nulls are, the excel sheet fills in the nulls as if they were at the begining and then leaves half drawn spreadsheat at the end. For example: If I wanted the following to show Heading1Heading2Heading3Heading4Heading5 Heading6 A B C (Null) (Null) D it shows up like: Heading1Heading2Heading3Heading4Heading5 Heading6 (Null) (Null) So I think it's like a list- filling in/not having any blanks. So I'm not quite sure how to get it to display correctly. I hope I've made this clear- I'm finding it difficult to explain. Is there a good way to do what I want to do? ~~ Your ad could be here.

Re: CF to excel
Excel can read the following kinds of files: comma delimited files tab delimited files HTML tables I prefer HTML tables as you get to keep all the formatting information. For example, if you cut and paste the following table code into a file heading italic colored data one two You can open it with excel and see the result.

CF to excel
How flexible is the process of generating excel files? I need to have an output that is dynamic for the columns and rows. For example: #student# #student# #student# #student# #Skill# #grade# #grade# #grade# #grade# #Skill# #grade# #grade# #grade# #grade# #Skill# #grade# #grade# #grade# #grade# Translating into: JohnSmith JanSmithSamJonessandyJones Reading C A A B MathB A B A English B B A C My tables are normalized. There are many tables that make this info. 1. One reference table that lists all the skills. 2. One table that shows student information. 3. One table that lists the studentID/skillID/Grade (hooks the student info with the skills reference table). 4. One reference table that lists the quarter and dates of the quarter so only the current quarter prints out. Is this possible? What are the steps to making it so? Do I need to make the information into an array(s) first? I've read the how to from Ben's CF5 book and the tutorial from cfcomet.com- but of course I want to make things more difficult.

RE: CF to Excel
Try writing your output with CFFile First, create a new file with your first line being a tab delimited column head names: Next, append your query results, again, delimit with tabs -- you'll want to surround your CFFile-append with a CFLoop query loop: H. = Howard Owens Web Producer InsideVC.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = > -Original Message- > From: Ray, James A [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 02, 2000 2:01 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: CF to Excel > > How can I take the results of a Query and save it as an Excel file? > > This is what I though would work. > > Thanks all! > > > SELECT END_ITEM_ROOT_PN, END_ITEM_SN > FROM DSTS.B_V_DSTS_ASSEMBLY > ORDER BY END_ITEM_ROOT_PN, END_ITEM_SN > > > > #END_ITEM_ROOT_PN# #END_ITEM_SN# > > -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
