Export in Excel with Macro

Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:17:36 GMT

Dear Qlikview community,

I simply need to export an object in Excel putting the Object Title (set in Object Properties -> Caption Tab) in the first excel row.

I have tried this code (found in QlikView community) but it doesn't work.

sub Ext:

set obj = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH22")

captiontext = obj.GetCaption.Name.v

curSheet.Range("A1") = captiontext

obj.SendToExcel

end Sub

Could you help me please?

Thank you in advance

This piece of code works ...

SUB EXPORT_Percentage
set sObject1 = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH_EXPORT")
set v = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vOggi")

sObject1.ExportBiff "E:\qlik\Excel\" & v.GetContent.String & "_Summary_Export.xls"

end sub

Here it is the code, it is not easy but it works

sub exportToExcel_TOT
Dim aryExport(0,4)

aryExport(0,0) = "CHTOT01"
aryExport(0,1) = "Total TO"
aryExport(0,2) = "A2"
aryExport(0,3) = "data"
aryExport(0,4) = "A1"

Dim objExcelWorkbook 'as Excel.Workbook
Set objExcelWorkbook = copyObjectsToExcelSheet(ActiveDocument, aryExport)

''// Now either just leave Excel open or do some other stuff here
''// like saving the excel, some formatting stuff, ...
