How to output to an excel file?

Hi,
I have written a program that gets data from the database and I like to find out how to output the data to an excel file. I have read about similar topic on the discussion board and the solution are for the online application. Mine is a desktop application. The user can specify what the destination file is. Can anyone help. Thanks.

The simpliest way is to take your data and write it to a Comma Dilimeted File which Excel can read without any problems or user intervention. You would use an ObjectOutputStream. Hope this helps.

  • How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

    Hello
    I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them. 
    I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
    Cheers
    James

    What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
    When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
    You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
    icon in the header and you'll be done.
    Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
    two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
    let
        Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
        RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
        PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
        ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
    in
        ExpandData

    When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
    Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
    Type
    man du
    when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
    Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder.   To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path.  If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help.    If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory.  That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

  • How can one  read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

    How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
    1. Excel File is on My PC.
    2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
    3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
    4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

    If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
    1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
    create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
    Note: This directory is on the server.
    2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
    You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
    3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
    Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
    function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
    p_filepath in varchar2
    ) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
    input_file utl_file.file_type;
    --declare a buffer to read text data
    input_buffer varchar2(4000);
    begin
    --using the UTL_FILE in built package
    input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
    utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
    --debug
    --dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
    utl_file.fclose(input_file);
    --return data
    return input_buffer;
    end;
    Hope this helps.

  • How to output data to a file in SCC-SG04?

    I am using SCC-2345 with SCC-SG04 connected to NI-6221 in Windows 2000 in VC6.
    How to output data to a file like data1.dat in VC6 or in Labwindows/CVI?

    Hello mwibm,
    If you just want to do file input/output in LabWindows/CVI, I would take a look at the Formatting and I/O CVI library or the ANSI File I/O functions. For example, if you just want to write an array of data to a file, I would look at the ArrayToFile function or the fwrite/fputs/fprintf ANSI C functions included in stdio.h. The ANSI C functions will also work in Visual Studio. More information on the LabWindows/CVI File I/O functions can be found in CVI help, and more information on ANSI C functions can be found in CVI Help and online at various websites.
    Maybe you could further clarify what problems you are having and what kind of data you want to write to a file.
    Thanks.

  • How do I save a excel file to be compatible...

    How do I save a excel file from a pc to be compatible with my Mac?

    Hi juicebars,
    iWork is a productivity suite for Macs running OS or iThings running iOS. With a MacBook Pro you will need the OS version.
    iWork consists of:
    Pages, a word processor and page layout app (page layout mimics a drawing app). Pages can import Microsoft Word documents and you can edit and save them. Also Export as MS Word, PDF, plain text, RTF or ePub.
    Numbers, a spreadsheet app that mimics a database. Numbers can import Microsoft Excel or CSV documents and you can edit and save them. Also Export as MS Excel, CSV or PDF.
    Keynote, a presentation app. Keynote can open Microsoft Powerpoint. I don't use Keynote, so I can say no more.
    You can buy the iWork suite from the App Store, or buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote separately.
    There are some minor conversion glitches when converting between MS Office and iWork. If you are continually converting, it is best to buy Office or LibreOffice for Mac.
    iWork does not take kindly to huge documents.
    However, I find that Numbers and Pages for Mac OS to have a sweetly intuitive way of doing what I want.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to Read data from excel file without converting a excel file into .csv or any other format

    Hello,
    Can somebody suggest me how to read from an excel file (consisting of 10 work sheets) to an array?
    Thanks,
    She

    You have to be careful when using the spreadsheet-files vi's.  They are located in the Functions Palette under File IO, you will find "Write To / Read From Spreadsheet File.vi"s. 
    Here is what the Context Help says about the vi function:
    "Reads a specified number of lines or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards. You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI calls the Spreadsheet String to Array function to convert the data. "
    This is quick & easy when the spreadsheet is all the same format.  You can set the format to string as well.  HOWEVER...  you do have to convert the Excel spreadsheet to text before using it.
    I haven't experimented with the Active-X, but it may look as the way to go if you have combination text / numeric values in the spreadsheet.
    If you did convert it to text, then you can use array functions as well and treating the file as an array of strings (see very brief example attached).  The example is to illustrate a point only
