Downloading Excel spreadsheet to client
Hi,
We have data in a MS SQL database that our client wishes to access for analysis purposes. They would like to view the data in an Excel spreadsheet that they can download over the web. The spreadsheet contains two pages: Page 1) Raw data, Page 2) Pivot Table based on raw data. The user should be able to specify filter parameters for the data returned such as start date, end date, facility code, etc. Our current environment includes MS IIS running ColdFusion to dynamically create and serve pages over the web. The big question is: Can we dynamically create the Excel spreadsheet, given the required input parameters, on the server? And if so, what are the steps to do this? Does any one have any helpful tips of how best to go about solving this situation? Thanks!!! -- Kevin Epp |

Downloading Excel spreadsheet to client
Kevin,
I don't know of a commercial tool that extracts SQL data into a fully functioning Excel workbook. If you're looking for how to do this, you can use Excel's automation layer to accomplish it from a technical perspective. If you're looking for software vendors that can help with tools, see http://badblue.com/helpxls.htm for one such vendor. Doug |
