Let’s talk about XLS Exporting in Adobe Coldfusion 9 (Excel Spreadsheets). ColdFusion has this neat little tag called cfspreadsheet. It allows the writing of. Still it's not working. I am getting same output. Requirement - Export query result to excel sheet. But now I am just trying to open excel file on click of button. In this ColdFusion sample, I'll demonstrate a simple way to take form input and generate an Excel spreadsheet file. This is a simple example with a very basic form.
Let’s talk about XLS Exporting in Adobe Coldfusion 9 (Excel Spreadsheets). ColdFusion has this neat little tag called. It allows the writing of, updating of, and reading of CSV/XLS files in ColdFusion.
This is a handy tool for exporting dynamically generated queries. It can make XLS Exporting in Adobe Coldfusion 9 very simple and easy to implement. For example, generating reports and listings of information.
Adobe documented the cfspreadsheet tag as such: Description 1. Manages Excel spreadsheet files 2. Okinawa Slave Island Game.
Reads a sheet from a spreadsheet file and stores it in a ColdFusion spreadsheet object, query, CSV string, or HTML string. Writes single sheet to a new XLS file from a query, ColdFusion spreadsheet object, or CSV string variable. Add a sheet to an existing XLS file. The description as outlined above shows that this tag is very useful, and can write XLS files from objects, csv string variables, or html strings.
You can also write a custom ColdFusion function to upload an XLS file, read the content, and input it into a database. However, XLS Exporting in Adobe Coldfusion 9 has its downsides. The problems with using the cfspreadsheet tag arise when your code logic that builds a ColdFusion spreadsheet object becomes lengthy. When manipulating a ColdFusion spreadsheet object, it slows down your code exponentially. This means the more you have to process, the longer it takes to do so.
I got to the point where I could pull a 10,000 record cfquery from the database in 3-4 seconds, but it would take me about 4-5 minutes to put together the ColdFusion spreadsheet object and formatting it the way I wanted it. Below is an example of a lengthy ColdFusion spreadsheet object being put together and exported to an.xls file. TheDir=GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()); theFile=theDir & 'ExampleReport.xls'; theSheet = SpreadsheetNew('testSpreadsheet'). Overwrite = 'true' />Tale Genji Seidensticker Ebook Readers. The first part of the code is a tag, which puts together the directory and spreadsheet variables that will be used to create the final spreadsheet file. Then follows some complex code logic that iterates through a ColdFusion variable called “collection”. This variable I instantiated previously as a ColdFusion structure that holds two cfquery variables, TICKETTYPES and CARDTYPES. I wanted both these queries to be added to the.xls spreadsheet.
