ASP TO EXCELL

Monie · #1 (**permalink**) Apr 3rd, 2005, 16:00

hai everyone...
I wonder if an asp page can interact with excell page?

I have desing an excel page that I used tu input STUDENT NAME and their EXAM MARK (0% TO 100%), later it will display some statistic in the bottom of the page, such as HOW MANY GETS AN 'A' OR HOW MANY FAILED ETC...
Now, i was wondering if i could design an asp page with two input text field that will be used to input STUDENT NAME and their EXAM MARK (fixed 30 list of student), and then submit the page, the data will be sent to the excel page that i have created earlier.

anybody have a better idea?

Why not use an access database with those two fields?

You can then create a CSV file from the results and import that into Excel.

Well actually, I am new with mc access and I dont know much about designing database queries that involves calculation.

But with excel, I know a little bit.
So...am I seeing a light at the end of the turnel

Can my problem be solved according to my idea that i've poster earlier?

What CSV by the way?
Thanx rob for replying my Question.

An excel spreadsheet can be used as a database. Use this connections tring (from www.connectionstrings.com):

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"""

notes:

"HDR=Yes;" indicates that the first row contains columnnames, not data
"IMEX=1;" tells the driver to always read "intermixed" data columns as text
TIP! SQL syntax: "SELECT * FROM [sheet1$]" - i.e. worksheet name followed by a "$" and wrapped in "[" "]" brackets.

Code: Select all

<html>
<title>CodeAve.com(Create Excel from User Input)</title>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<%
'Check to see if title has been entered or not
u_title=request.form("u_title")
if u_title = "" then
%>

<form method="POST" action="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>">
Document Title

<input type="text" name="u_title" size="35">



Cell 1


<textarea rows="2" name="u_cell1" cols="35"></textarea>



Cell 2


<textarea rows="2" name="u_cell2" cols="35"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" ></p>
</form>

' If there is a user inputted title
' get all of the user inputed values
u_title=request.form("u_title")
u_cell1=request.form("u_cell1")
u_cell2=request.form("u_cell2")

' Varible created fo excel file name. Speces are changed to underscores
' and later the current date is added in attempts to create a unique file
' Users are not prevented from entering characters !@#$%^&*()+= that are 
' invlaid file names in this example
g_filename=replace(u_title," ","_")


set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
'   create the text (xls) file to the server adding the -mmddyyyy after the g_title value
Set act = fso.CreateTextFile(server.mappath(""&g_filename & "-"& month(date())& day(date())& year(date()) &".xls"), true)

'   write all of the user input to the text (xls) document    
'   The .xls extension can just as easily be .asp or .inc whatever best suits your needs
'   Providing that you remove the info contained in the header and remove the xml
