Export button help??????

Hi Folks,

I'm having a application A3.qvw (Please see the attachment) , here I'm having a straight table where I'm calling few fields as dimension & expression.

My client want me to create a Export report button for this application and on clicking this export button he want output as Report.xls (Please see the attachment)

Please help me how to create this Export report button to get the desired output as mentioned in the attachment.

Thanks in advance .

There could be one of the few reasons as below..

1) No Microsoft Office installed in your PC.

2) If you check below line in the Macro..

     set MyTable = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH02")

     You need to change CH02 to your actual table's ID.

     You can find the same in your general tab of specific object.

3) In Macro EDIT MODULE (CTRL + M)

    Requested Module Security should be System Access

    Current Local Security should be Allow System Access

Please try above suggestion and let me know if still you have problem.

Thanks busy working on it.

And with regards to the headings in the report.xls i.e. project title, team ? Or this something you will do yourself?

Hi AS,

Depending on what your Excel skills are like I think you should consider the suggestion from prya sane (and Shyamal Pandit) - create of Straight Table of the data you need to export and then use the Export to Excel option.

Then use the exported spreadsheet as a data source for the report.xls template. The User would be expected to re-link (or import) to the template file each time they export a new dataset in this way.

Just incase you don't know about the export to excel option, make sure you are displaying the Caption and tick the Send to Excel box....

Hi Lawrenceiow,

Thanks for your suggestion, I know this export but my requirement is totally different. It is not just a simple export from qvw straight chart. I need a automated button which will help me to get desired data from qvw into the Client template.

Thanks,

AS

Hi Manish,

Is this what you mean?

  1. Create a button,
  2. Add an external action to export
    1. specify the fields you need to export as a record.
    2. specify the path and filename of the export file.
  3. link your report.xls file to the file you specified at 2b above.
  4. Make sure you select one record (eg the complaint number)
  5. Click the button you created above.

Take a look at the attached files: Report.xls is your template file which is linked to book1.xls which was exported as described above.
