Exporting data in tables to an Excel spreadsheet?

Is there a script or another way to export or save a documents tables (multiple tables over several pages) to an excel spreadsheet? I have found a solution which involves exporting each spread as a html file which i can then open straight in excel but this is still quite long winded and i can only seem to do this a spread at a time. As the job I am working on involves many pages this is taking too long. Surely there must be a script which can automate this in some way. I am fairly new to scripting so any help will be grateful. I have searched in scripting but nothing has really come close to what i am trying to achieve. Indesign CS5.5 user.

Thanks for the quick response. I thought it was an applescript because of the word "applescript" within it. Now I'm running it as a jsx. However in my real document with nothing selected, it selects only one table on page 3 to export. I created a new test document with three tables in separate text boxes on one page, and the script only exports the first one. I put the three tables in one big text box (one story), and still it only exports the first one. I tried selecting the second table in the story and ran the script again, but it still just exported the first table.
What I am hoping for is a script that will export every table to a single excel spreadsheet. Here is an example of the dummy tables with the legend in the first column and the data in the second column. I don't mind if the script exports the legend every time; I can repmove those columns in the excel file.

  • Export Data in Table Control to Excel

    Hi Folks -
    Here is what I thought would be a simple task.  I want to use the run-time shortcut menu to export data to excel from a table control, which is an option in the default menu.
    The two things I would like to be able to do are:
    1) Either the whole table including the headers or
    2) Perform a selection of rows during run-time to export to excel
    From a prior discussion, it appear that there is a bug in this functionality.  When I tried to create my own code to perform the selection programmatically, my table was resized to a thumbnail while running the VI, and the export still not work properly.
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Export-table-to-ex​cel/m-p/1089007#M481882
    Any further thoughts on this are appreciated.  I have some workarounds but would like to see this working.

    First, try to save to the oldest version of VI you can so that the most people are able to view your VI.
    Not everybody has the latest LabVIEW installed. Strange but true.
    Second, I opened your VI and I don't see anything except a While loop and a Stop button with a Table control. No other code.
    I have no clue what you are doing with regards to "perform the selection programmatically".
    Anyway, I select cells on the Table control using Property Node Selection Size and Property Node Selection Node and the Invoke Node to export the data to Excel, it works for me.
    Excel opens up and I see one worksheet which is populated with the values from the Table control.
    I have Excel 2010.
    However, it looks like you will need to manually save the opened Excel file.

  • Export data on pdf-form to Excel

    I would need help for exporting data from pdf-form to Execl spreadsheet
    the basic idea is that a pdf-form would be the user interface to collect the data with text boxes / drop-downs (such as "Vendor", "Purchase order number", "Date", "Text" etc.) and after the data is filled on the pdf-form it would be easily exported (with button?) to one certain Excel -file.
    The Excel-file should have similarly named colums and the data from pdf-form would be exported always to the next empty row.
    PDF FORM
    Excel -spreadsheet

    Thanks but this is not quite what I was looking for
    The idea was that the user would fill-in the data on the pdf -form and from there this data would be exported to one named Excel-file ( = data exported always to same Excel - file / to the next empty row)
    So this Excel -file would act as a summary file / database from where the collected data could be easily sorted etc.
    Another issue is that I'm looking for easy solution for the exporting fuction (e.g. button + java script) so that also the "dummy users" could operate this

  • Export data from an iView to Excel, get a login screen displayed in Excel

    Hi
    I'm trying to export data from a tableview to excel, I followed the instruction posted by Detlev Beutner, created a class extends AbstractPortalComponent, and overwrote the doOnNodeReady:
    HttpServletResponse response = request.getServletResponse(true);
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=\"text.xls\"");
    I did write some test output in doContent:
             aResponse.write("Filed11,Filed12,Field13");
             aResponse.write("Field21,Field22,Field23");
    I was hoping to see the excel to display the content "Field11 Field12...", but I got a portal login screen displayed in Excel.
    Does anyone have the same experience and and idea on this?
    Thanks
    Yutong

    Sure, here is the sample code for method doOnNodeReady
    protected void doOnNodeReady(IPortalComponentRequest request,
          IEvent event)
      //set http content type to excel format
      HttpServletResponse response = request.getServletResponse(true);
      response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");

      // then print out your data
      out.close();

  • Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

    Hi,
    I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
    The query that I used is s follows
    INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
    select 
    column1,column2.... from Table1
    I get the following error message while doing so..
    String or binary data would be truncated.
    The statement has been terminated.
    One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
    What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

    I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method.  Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

    the issue is here

    wa_xls-area_name
    wa_xls-landx

    instead do the following
    LOOP AT itab_xls INTO wa_xls.
    CONCATENATE L_STRING wa_xls-product_name ','
    wa_xls-area_name  ','
    wa_xls-landx  ','
    CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF INTO L_STRING .
    ENDLOOP.
    and then change the file name extension from xls to csv. it should open properly in excel.
    Note that this is only excel csv file. if you want a proper excel excel file, then
    option one: build a html table with your data into a string and pass it to excel
    option 2: build excel xml using your data into a string and pass it to excel.

  • SSIS: Export data from ODBC source to Excel only 5000 rows at a time

    Greetings,
    Im inserting data into Excel using SSIS.
    Im getting the following exception:
    '[Excel Destination [32]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Office Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Spreadsheet is full.".'
    I did some research using the following link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010073849.aspx
    It states that you can populate the maximum of 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns
    The data i am importing into Excel is only about 100,000 rows by 5 columns
    After doing some research I am now aware that this is to much data for Excel to handle at one time.  I was advised to lower the amount of rows SSIS is exporting into Excel........How do I lower the amount of rows to 5,000 at a time is SSIS?

    Having the maxbufferrowsize
    But I have a doubt that it is related. You probably max up the allowed size for your version of Excel.

    I would probably export to a simple text file (ASCII-delimited or fixed-length fields), then import to Excel and save as Dbase format.

  • Exporting Data Quality Statistics Into An Excel File Or Database

    Hi,
               I would like to ask if it is possible to export the data profiling statistics into an excel file / flat file or a database table.
               The output required by our development team is that we would like to be able to manipulate and review the data profiling outside of the Data Quality Services User Interface.
              I'm aware that after the cleansing of a specific set of data is that you can save/export the output results into an excel file or database, however the feature I'm looking for is for the data profiling statistics itself.
     Mostly information on the knowledge base.  Specifically, how many new records this specific column has and how many unique data and invalid data this column has and etc.
              The reason for this is that so we can control and track the data profiling information and be a bit more flexible in creating reports and presenting the data.  Using the DQS user interface would not suit our needs
    for the project.   
               Sorry if this has been asked before but i've tried searching around and couldn't find any information regarding this functionality.
    Thanks!

    I'm not too sure where they are stored, but you could use the directories shown in transaction AL11 so find them.

  • Can anyone direct me onto the correct app that I need. I want to export GPS way points to an excell spreadsheet.3 times a day

    I am seeking an app that will record the times I pass several way points and exports the data to an excel spreadsheet.  This is so I can record the time it takes to travel between points several times during each day.

    MotionX GPS will email waypoint information depending on how you set it up. You will have to manually import the data to Excel though. Depending on your application MotionX has two different apps, MotionX GPS and MotionX GPS Drive. Drive is best suited for automobile and offers live voice guidance, but no real waypoint tracking. MotionX GPS will offer waypoint tracking as well as automatic email based on your settings. It can be used for pretty much any transportation (ie bicycle, hiking, auto, etc.).

  • Exporting data from a multiple worksheet excel to oracle database.

    Hi,
    Am having a very big problem,i have to export data from excel to database.My excel is havin multiple worksheet.
    I thought of most of the options nothing is suiting my layout.
    SQL loader ,can't use due to multiple worksheet.
    HSServices can;t use because my column headings are row wise,and the excel start with a big Heading rather than having column headings.
    UTL_FILE can't use beacuse of multiple worksheet,and frankly speaking i don't know how to use utl file with excel to read paticular cell in excel.
    Thanks

    First of all: this is a forum of volunteers.
    So no one is obliged to respond to you.
    Therefore 'urgent' does not exist in this forum, and labeling your request as 'urgent' is considered rude by many. If it is really that urgent, submit a prio 1 request at Metalink.
    Secondly, I don't think you thought of most of the options.
    Yes, you can use SQL*Loader as you can dump each individual worksheet to a separate CSV file.
    Also, you didn't consider ODBC. If ODBC in Excel is too cumbersome, you can use MsAccess to hook the Excel sheet in Msaccess, connect to the database using the Oracle ODBC driver and design an ordinary append query,
    Obviously, you would need one query per worksheet.

  • How to export data within tables in Oracle 10g

    Since I'm using Oracle 10g, thus I wanted to know that do I have the option for exporting data from one table to another or exporting the whole table to some another databases like SQL Server or any other database.

    There are several options, each has different advantages and disadvantages. When both source and target are Oracle;
    1. you can use database links across databases -
    http://psoug.org/reference/db_link.html
    2. you can unload to external tables after 10g and load from external table -
    http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/unload-data-with-external-tables-and-data-pump/
    3. you can use data pump(expdp/impdp) after 10g -
    http://psoug.org/reference/datapump.html
    http://psoug.org/reference/dbms_datapump.html
    4. you can use traditional export(exp) and import(imp) -
    http://psoug.org/reference/export.html
    http://psoug.org/reference/import.html
    5. you can unload to text with an unloader and use sql*loader to load -
    http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2007/09/02/announcement-of-a-new-product-ubsql-from-ubtools/
    http://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/flat/
    http://psoug.org/reference/sqlloader.html
    for some options you may get the meta information(all table related DDLs) with supplied package DBMS_METADATA;
    http://psoug.org/reference/dbms_metadata.html
    When source is Oracle 10g and target is non-Oracle you may unload to text from Oracle and use the related text loader utility supplied with the other vendor.
    Also Heterogeneous Connectivity is another option between Oracle and non-Oracle systems;
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/toc.htm
