[cfaussie] Re: Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets
http://wikipedlla.com/creating_excel_files_with_multiple_worksheets Making an Excel files come out of your CF pages is pretty straight forward with tables and CFContent. Is there any way to make an Excel file that has multiple worksheets? The solutions I've found involve calling COM objects for a server copy of Excel, but my server doesn't have Excel installed so I can't use that method. How would you make a second (or third) worksheet in an Ecel output file without having Excel installed on the server?

http://poi.apache.org/hssf/index.html Ben Nadel has written a nice CFC wrapper for some POI functionality. It has methods to create sheets and write excel files, though I've only used it for reading (which works well). http://www.bennadel.com/blog/624-ColdFusion-POIUtility-cfc-Updates-And-Bug-Fixes.htm Mark --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Re: Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets
I second Ryan's suggestion. We have done it for our site, and there is no need for Java or other server extensions, just write out a properly formated Excel 2003+ XML file. As a bonus you to multiple worksheets, you also get formatting, cell sizing, text wrapping, etc. On Mar 27, 4:48 pm, Ryan Sabir [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Generate it as XML.. 1.

Yeah I would agree with Brontojoris...I have used code written as per Ryan's post, to output in Excel and it was pretty neat.

[cfaussie] Re: Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets
Darren, besides the options mentioned so far, I'll note that I did a blog entry a couple months ago where I tried to gather in one place all the various ways, with links to resources with still more details: How can I process Excel files in CFML? Let me count the ways http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2008/1/12/coldfusion_excel_xls_pro cessing BTW, I realize you're asking specifically about creating a file with multiple sheets. I haven't used each of these to be able to say which supports that, but I have to believe at least one of them would. Hope that's helpful. /charlie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Tracey Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 1:40 AM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets Making an Excel files come out of your CF pages is pretty straight forward with tables and CFContent.
