Default Create merge cells from table definition

Did you use "OPEN WITH" and then select Excel? This is working with excel
2003 with our XML files. We have simple XML with one table per XML. I
haven't tried this with multiple tables in the same XML file.


Maybe you should go in the other direction. Enter a table into excel and
save as XML. Then see the XML that excel produces. Use that as a template
for creating your files.

Hi,

no way, excel didn't open as you told me, I select excel but opens
with notepad.

Later I tried to open from excel program using open/as list xml and
the other 2 options, but it doesn't create the headers as I want. It
creates several formata but no grouping headers.

Maybe changing the structure of the xml file, or have you got
something similiar which works. I mean, an xml file you open as you
told me and creating the corrects grouping headers in excel. If so, I
would change my file to adapt to these requeriments.

thanks againg

Go to window explorer an select the XML file. Then right click and select
Open with Excel. Excel will make the table automatically. You can't do that
with HTML. I tried an hour ago. I didn't know from the data if it was XML
or HTML.

Let me know if I should continue looking at this request.

I don't know if this is what you need.


This is the xml file I use to parse first, and later create the header
in html


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
<header
<cabecera tipo="1"
<table id="11" cols="7"
<tr
<td align="center" styleClass="logo" colspan="2"
width="20%" titulo="logo" media="/xmlhttp/images/logobd3.gif"
</td
<td styleClass="LCAB" align="center" colspan="5"
titulo="header.id_11.Titulo"
</td
</tr
<tr
<td styleClass="LCAB" rowspan="3" align="center"

titulo="header.id_11.row_2"

You are going about this the wrong way. To open up an internet explorer in
VBA and read the table into excel. Much easier. If you post your html file
at code TheCodeCage.com or give me a URL to the webpage I can do it very
simply.

Hi.


I have a definition of a table in html. I want to export using java
code and sax to excel, but I can get a way of doing Iterative.


let's say we have something like this:


<table id="11" cols="7"
<tr
<td align="center" styleClass="logo" colspan="2"
width="20%" media="/xmlhttp/images/logobd3.gif"
</td
<td styleClass="LCAB" align="center" colspan="5"
titulo="header.id_11.Titulo"
</td
</tr
<tr
<td styleClass="LCAB" rowspan="3" align="center"
colspan="2" titulo="header.id_11.row_1"
</td
<td styleClass="LN" rowspan="3" align="center"
titulo="header.id_11.row_2"
</td
<td styleClass="LN" colspan="3" align="center"
titulo="header.id_11.row_3"
</td
<td rowspan="3" align="center" styleClass="LN2"
titulo="header.id_11.row_4"
</td
</tr


<tr
<td styleClass="LN" rowspan="2" align="center"
titulo="header.id_11.row_5"
</td
<td styleClass="LN" colspan="2" align="center"
titulo="header.id_11.row_6"
</td
</tr
<tr
<td styleClass="LN" align="center"
titulo="header.id_11.row_7"
</td
<td styleClass="LN" align="center"
titulo="header.id_11.row_8"
</td
</tr
</table


as you can see this is the typical definition of a header in a word
document. I mean, if you translate into html a word document into html
you get something like this.
What I want to do is parse this document (as xml for instance) and
create this structure in an excel file using jxl or hssf or whatever
tool.


I want to do iteratively because I have several diferents headers.
I have tried to copy the macro in excel to copy from word to excel,
but I only I get activesheet.paste. So How works paste?,


I hope I have explained.


Maybe somebody have done somehting similar.


Thanks
