Importing EXCEL worksheet into existing ACCESS tables is possible.
Is there any way i could import EXCEL worksheet into an existing ACCESS table using ASP code.Something like, i could upload a EXCEL file from a browser and then it can be imported into an existing table And if possible also check for duplicate keys and update those records. If no records exist then insert them.
I am writing a web-based information portal and one of the requested features is that some data be outputted not to the screen, but to an MS Excel file.
I could not find much information on this topic, but I'm sure there's a way. All the database searching is in place, the recordset has been built, I just need an interface to send data into Excel as opposed to a text file, or to the screen. Code:
If I have following code to read the excel file, how do I validate the worksheets name ? In code below, if the filename doesn't contains "SomeName" worksheet, I will need to prompt error. Code:
I have an excel sheet which is uploaded into the application. Since the workbook along with the sheets is locked with a password, while trying to insert the data to database, the record count is taking as null.
If I remove the lock manually and tried to insert, it is working perfectly. But I want to do the removal of lock programmatically. Do anybody knows how to remove the same with a password?
I need to show some results from a database on a page and also give the user the option of downloading these specific results as a excel spreadsheet ....
I've noticed that Internet Explorer adds a number in square brackets to files downloaded from the internet and opened directly (i.e. by clicking 'Open' and not 'Save'). This creates a big problem with downloading Excel spreadsheets as square brackets are not a valid filename character inside Excel worksheet name.
When I click open, it opens the excel sheet with the sheet name as .xls[Sheet and the excel filename as Sheet[1].xls.
Then we get the following error....
While renaming a sheet or chart, you entered an invalid name. Try one of the following:
- Make sure the name you entered does not exceed 31 characters. - Make sure the name does not contain any of the following characters: : / ? * [ or ] - Make sure you did not leave the name blank.
I have an intranet application written in asp using access as the backend database. My users have requested they be able to download certain data into an excel spreadsheet. I have limited asp experience and could use some help.
Ideally, the user would be prompted to save and name the file (save as dialogue) and then the data would be selected and saved into that file. I know I can use a select statement to select data directly into an excelspreadsheet using:
SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database=" & lcPathFile & "].[Sheet1] FROM myTable
I have been able to successfully export data to Excel via ASP, however there is a small problem.When the file download window is displayed (to export to excel), you have have several options: open, save and cancel. Pressing the save button allows you to save a *.xls file to your HDD (THIS WORKS FINE). However, most users will push the open button. By doing so, the same screen will appear again with the same options: open, save and cancel. Pressing the open button again causes MS Excel to open (as expected) and then a dialog with the following message appears: "C:Documents and Settings<user name>Local SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5BIOJDDG5<filename[1].xls> could not be found".
As most users will probably press the Open button, I want to find a solution to this problem.
I am trying to export a dynamically generated table to excel. I have used following code for the same
Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-excel"
On some machines with excel 2000 version it is not working. The problem is that i have coded a session check for the user in that page and page is not getting the session value & it is redirecting the user to homepage for login in that excelsheet itself. That means instead of showing expected report ,excel sheet is showing contents of home page. I am not getting what is the connection of excel version with session.
I am trying to export a result set as an excel spread sheet. Most of the time this works as expected, when a user chooses to save as excel the browser pop-up a save as dialog to allow the user to save the spreadshet with a .xls name. Some times the browser will open up the file as text file within the bvrowser itself? These are my two lines of code to prompt the save as dialog for a Browser:
I am trying to export a recordset to an excel file using the Content Type below in the header.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Which works fine however the problem is that when I have a number in a column with a leading zero the zero gets dropped. E.G. 01760942 will be displayed as 1760942 . How can I rectify this?
Is this possible? I am planning to export data from SQL that generates HTML table. Instead of selecting the table and then copy then paste to excel, is ther a script(JS or VB) that will automatically export or open the Query to it.
1.) I've done this using macros in excel but I can't get the macros to run with the security of the xls file. I can't change the security, how can I make that particular macro safe?
2.) Now that I have macros running in excel, i'd like to know how to implement them into my asp page. I can't just copy and paste my macro b/c it wouldn't know what file it's looking for. I need help putting a macro on my page pointing at any given xls (dynamically as they will change)
3.) When running the macro in excel, i have problems with the output. Currently (until i get a better grasp on getting it running) i am using a macro from MSDN called quotecommaexport (which obviously makes a comma separated list of the data from excel) and the problem is when the xls shows ########## instead of the value b/c of lack of space.
It works when I span out the column and shows the value, the correct value is exported. Otherwise, it exports "#############" which does nothing for me. How can i get it to export the value without me physically spanning out the columns to give the value room. (I know this question may not make sense) Code:
The code below (partial) should export a file as Excel when the button near the bottom is clicked. The example I pulled the concept from uses a GridView for binding. I don't need to display it, just export it, so I created ExcelGrid visible=false at the bottom. The Response.Write(strQuery); is never getting executed. I get:
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Control 'ExcelGrid' of type 'GridView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.
I'm almost positive (from what you see below) that my ExcelGrid is inside the form tag, which contains the runat=server.
Any ideas? It works when you pull that code and just run the rest of the form so the runat=server is working for all of the other controls! Code:
I have a webpage that is taking input from a form and using it as criteria to select data out of an sql database. The page displays an html table with the results. The user can then click a button "excel" to open or save the file as an excel document. This works, and everything in the excel document is formatted fine except for the first column which in this case is "Part Number". The problem is that this part number: 883100105100 is displayed like this: 8.831E+11 in excel.
I am not sure how to format the excel cells using the asp/html so that it doesn't try to throw everything into scientific notation. I have thought that maybe if I gave excel a string value instead of a number value then it would fix the problem but I am pretty new to asp and am not sure how to do this. Below is the block that throws everything into excel in the first place. Code:
I have created a script that parses and excel file and inserts the data in an Access table. The script works perfectly fine, however I also need to extract a column comments via my script.Column comment is like a tool tip for any given column and therefore it occurs only on mouse hover, not in the actual column data.
I don't know if this is possible, but I have been amazed at what I have learned from this group so I will throw it out there.
I have an MS Access database that I connect to through .asp pages. Can I offer a user of my page the ability to export data from the Access database (either feeding of a table or a query) to their hardrive in an Excel format?
If it is possible, I have two followup questions.
1: Can you export in additional formats (Access, Word, Notepad, ...)?
We have a variety of work related forms (overtime sheets etc) that people currently download via our intranet.
What I'd like to do is have a page with a drop down box getting staff names and then tick box's as to which documents you want and it will put the employees name and number on the form and print etc ....
The bit I'm a bit a bit lost on is how would I export my employee name and number from a form to a an area on a word document.
I've exported data to an excell spreadsheet before but never a word document.
I am trying to pull data from a DB an export it to the user in a comma delimited text file.I found this.Do I need to save the actual textfile or is it possible to stream the text file out to the browser? If the answer is yes, how do I stream it after it is saved and delete it once it is saved by the user?
I have an Excel database of Names and Email addresses that I have to use to send a monthly automated newsletter to. The thing is that my application uses Access, and I am not sure how I can avoid having to maintain two seperate databases. I have to take the Excel DB and convert it to Access, every time there is an update. Then change field names, and db structure for use in my app.
Do any of you know how I can have it either automated, or made a little less time consuming, and simple to maintain?
