Howard beat me to it.
Doing it with html tables is dead as Disco. First thing to do is create a
spreadsheet that looks exactly like you want it to look like and put in some
dummy data. Save it as the XML spreadsheet format then you can use it instead
of using html and still output it with cfcontent. Looks way better than the old
school approach.

Why don't you use the XML Spreadsheet format instead? Your example would look
something like this:
?xml version=1.0?
Workbook xmlns=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet
xmlns:o=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office
xmlns:x=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel
xmlns:ss=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet
xmlns:html=
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40;
Worksheet ss:Name=Sheet1
Table ss:ExpandedColumnCount=3 ss:ExpandedRowCount=8 x:FullColumns=1
x:FullRows=1
Row ss:Height=15
CellData ss:Type=StringMonth/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=StringQuantity/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=StringSales/Data/Cell
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
CellData ss:Type=StringJanuary/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=Number80/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=Number245/Data/Cell
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
CellData ss:Type=StringFebruary/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=Number100/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=Number699/Data/Cell
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
CellData ss:Type=StringMarch/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=Number230/Data/Cell
CellData ss:Type=Number2036/Data/Cell
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
CellData ss:Type=StringTotal/Data/Cell
Cell ss:Formula==SUM(R[-3]C:R[-1]C)Data
ss:Type=Number410/Data/Cell
Cell ss:Formula==SUM(R[-3]C:R[-1]C)Data
ss:Type=Number2980/Data/Cell
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
Cell/
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
Cell/
/Row
Row ss:Height=15
CellData ss:Type=String /Data/Cell
/Row
/Table
/Worksheet
/Workbook
I don't know what some of that stuff is and if you create the document yourself
in Excel and Save As XML Spreadsheet you'll see more than this. I edited the
file down to the what seemed like the bare minimum.

Hi,
I saw an online example of creating excel file using table data. Everything
is working perfect, but the problem is that the borders which are usually
shown in excel file is missing. I tried setting table border=1 but this
results in only the result shown in borders in excel file.
I need to show the result with excel borders i.e
. borders all the way which
is norm for any excel file. If you copy the result set shown in excel by
this code i.e. select all, copy and then paste the contents into a new excel
file, then it looks more like an excel file and thats the look the client
needs. Makes sense? Please look at snapshot.
Here is the code :
Code:head
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1 /
titleUntitled
Document/title
/head
body
cfheader name=Content-Disposition
value=inline; filename=acmesalesQ1.xls
cfcontent
type=application/vnd.msexcel
table border=2
trtdMonth/tdtdQuantity/tdtd$ Sales/td/tr
trtdJanuary/tdtd80/tdtd $245/td/tr
trtdFebruary/tdtd100/tdtd$699/td/tr
trtdMarch/tdtd230/tdtd $2036/td/tr
trtdTotal/tdtd=Sum(B2..B4)/tdtd=Sum(C2..C4)/td/tr
/table
/body
any suggestions how I can get that excel look with cell borders all the way?
