Output to Excel spreadsheet

[toby007]

Hi there

Not sure whether anyone has done this.

I have a user that specifically requires the output to be display and thus
saved in an Excel spreadsheet.

I have been reading something where it is possible to use <cfcontent
type="application/msexcel">

Up until now I have managed to acquire the input data from several sources. I
have created a coma delimited text file. I could simply import this to excel
however the user who requires the information does not know how to import data
into Excel. So in short I would like to do all this for the user so the user
gets the information displayed in an Excel spreadsheet.

Regards & thanks in advance.

Hi

Are you generating any file.

i think its better to write the data into a .csv file.
this is also comma seperated file only but it will have the extension as .csv.

when you try to access this file from the browser then it will be open in the
browser automatically.

try this...

If you use <cfcontent type="application/msexcel"> then after that output your data as a HTML table it'll be in Excel format.
