Re: CF - data excel
Sorry I didnt read it right you have to receive the HTML data in a CFPage maybe you can use a CFHTTP to call this page, and the content you output in a XLS File. But you have always to call a CFPage to Process!

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.

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.

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. 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
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 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
Re: CF to excel
Believe it or not -- Windows 98 and higher has an Import to Excel function. Just right mouse click on the coldfusion table you want to turn into Excel, and a menu comes up saying Import to Excel.

Format Tables (Was RE: CF to excel)
Thanks for all the input. Now for the next question. I am having a hard time formatting my html table correctly. I am using TRTH#Skill[1]#/TH TH#Skill[2]#/TH in the heading (I have also tried making it just a regular TRTD/TD/TR. But unfortunately it is giving each student a heading. ie: Reading MathSpelling JSmith A A A Reading MathSpelling SJones B B B So I have 2 questions: 1. Is there a way to get the heading to be for the whole page when I am using a variable? 2. Is there a way to make the #skill[1]# #Skill[2]#, etc. expand/constrict accordingly. (ie: 5th grade Math has 3 skills/ reading has 16 skills whereas 1st grade math has 21 skills and 19 reading skills) I don't want to have to make a different page for each subject/grade.

Janine, There seems to be an error in your posted code, as you have 3 cfoutputs to 2 /cfoutput. I'm surprised CF didn't give you an error message. It looks to me like you need to take the CFOUTPUTTH#Skill#/TH/CFOUTPUT outside so it isn't nested inside CFOUTPUT query=SGradegroup=PERMNUM I'd do something like Table CFOUTPUT query=SGradeTH#Skill#/TH/CFOUTPUT CFOUTPUT query=SGrade group=PERMNUM ...

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 table tr tdbheading/b/td tdiitalic/i/td tdfont color=#123456colored/font/td /tr tr td bgcolor=#FEDCBAdata/td tdone/td tdtwo/td /tr /table You can open it with excel and see the result. This doesn't exactly answer your question as I'm not sure exactly how dynamic you need your data to be. --- Janine Jakim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How flexible is the process of generating excel files? = I-Lin Kuo Macromedia CF5 Advanced Developer Sun Certified Java 2 Programmer ~~ 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

RE: CF to excel
It is just like from a database. Only difference is how you call the table. CFQUERY NAME=getGrades DATASOURCE=datasource SELECT DISTINCT [YOURFIELD] FROM `YOURTABLE$` /CFQUERY Make sure that you have the spreadsheet set up as a system DSN and then make certain you place the ` in front of your tablename and the $` after your table name. Then output your query just like you do from a database query Larry Juncker Senior Cold Fusion Developer Heartland Communications Group, Inc.

Re: CF and Excel
I do it a couple of ways. First, you can create a comma delimited file (.csv) and then using cfcontent, deliver it right to the browser to be downloaded, or you can write it to the server to be downloaded later. Or, I often use the CFX_EXCEL custom tag from the exchange. You need Excel on the server and be sure to LOCK properly, but this produces an actual .xls file. Again, you can either download directly or write to the hard drive. Either way works.

RE: CF and Excel
David, You got that error because Excel is not registered on your server. Assuming that Excel is in fact installed on your server, you can register it by following the directions at http://www.cfcomet.com/cfcomet/Other/index.cfm?ArticleID=32381637-0922-41CA- BBE305C2D66A7025#2. Note that this technique creates an Excel file on the server, which users can then download. A simpler method is to use CFCONTENT and CFHEADER to send the data to the Excel application on your users' machines. -David On Thursday, June 21, 2001 4:51 PM, David Baskin [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: Hello, i've been tasked with taking data out of a SQL database and inserting it into an excel spread sheet.

Re: [CF-Talk] excel and CF
Actually, you can get very quick (and nice) results using a mime type of "application/vnd.ms-excel" This lets you output your page as an html table, formatting things very nicely in Excel. -- Billy Cravens [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dave Watts wrote: PROBLEM: Want to dump results from a query into an excel file using the cfcontent tag.
