RE: Create an Excel Spreadsheet
I'm not sure how flexible it is, but I know in the past when working with Excel sheets I always worked with the XML model as it allowed quite a nice set of features. Without the funny hacks of changing HTML into excel files.

Re: Create an Excel Spreadsheet
Have a look at using Apache POI, which is in CF7 already. This will create Excel sheets using Java which is far more efficient than using HTML to mimic a sheet. You could also look at using DTS if you are on SQL Server to export the results to Excel.

Create an Excel Spreadsheet
Hi there I have got a CF program which is working fine. I'd just like to try and improve the program.

If you can use createObject, there's also some stuff over on google code http://code.google.com/p/cfjexcel/ basically just a couple of cfcs that use jExcelApi for import/export of xls. There's a very basic row level formula embedder in query2xls.cfc. Not sure if the zip has the latest source, so might wanna download the two cfcs from here: http://cfjexcel.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ You could loop through the column names too, somelhing tike: cfset var xlsFile = cfloop list=#qgetmedicaldelegates.columnlist# index=fieldNam cfset xlsFile = listAppend(xlsFile,fieldNam,tabChar) /cfloop Then whack off the last tabChar, add a newLine, and viola! One more loop using the query values, something like cfloop query=qgetmedicaldelegates cfloop list=#qgetmedicaldelegates.columnlist# index=fieldNam cfset xlsFile = listAppend(xlsFile,qgetmedicaldelegates[fieldNam][currentRow],tabChar) /cfloop /cfloop Again, whack off the last tabChar, and that would do it (assuming tabChar would work as a list delim). Someone had a nifty solution to the whole how do I get rid of the last list thingie, but I don't remember it off hand. :-/ Have Fun! cfloop query=qgetmedicaldelegates cfoutput #ID##TabChar##Title##TabChar##FirstName##TabChar##LastName##TabChar##PrefNam e##TabChar##BusName##TabChar##Address##TabChar##Suburb##TabChar##StateID##Ta bChar##Postcode##TabChar##CountryCode##TabChar##Phone##TabChar##Fax##TabChar ##Mobile##TabChar##Email##NewLine# /cfoutput /cfloop Thanks in advance ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.
