JavaScript - Save Web Page Into Excel Spreadsheet

How do I use Javascript to loop through all the spreadsheets contained in 1 excel file?

I am now at the stage where I can open the Excel file and find a value on 1 spreadsheet.
Is there any way to detect if the workbook has multiple spreadsheets and then loop through all the spreadsheets to find a value?

thanks!

Greetings!
Im new to this forum, looked around a bit and didnt find anything on this.
I im creating a web page, in witch i have to export data from a data base to excel files..
I already have a javascript using activeXobject, that exports the data to an excel table, what i also need to do is to create and pivot table in other excel sheet.
Ive been tottaly stuck on this for a couple of days, does anyone have an example of how to create an excel pivot table using JavaScript?
I would appreciate it so much =)

Thanks in advance!

Guys, this is a script which runs on a Mac not a browser.

I have created a script which transfers data from an Excel CSV file into an In-Design document and formats it, I am now just trying to take out some of the options for human error.

I need the script to Open the Excel file which has been selected by dialog box and then save it to the desktop as a csv file. I thought this bit would be simple, but I cannot get the file to even open.

Help please, Nick

I have some data on the client side in javascript arrays that I display to user in a html table on the webpage. I want to give an option to the user to save the data in excel. I thought of a solution that involves:
1. Create an http request and post the data as json
2. On server using jsp convert the json data to html table
3. Set the response headers to open the response in excel

This solution works, but does not look optimal. Why to send a http request to server when all the data is there on client side. I tried creating a new document on the client side and open that in a new window. That does not open the document in excel as the response header is not set. Any suggestions on how to achieve this. I want to avoid http request to server.

Thanks,

Hi Chaps,

I have some Javascript code, that sucessfully exports Project data from an HTML table to an Excel SpreadSheet:
Code:

function ExportToExcel() {		
			var xlApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
			// Silent-mode:
			xlApp.Visible = true;
			xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;
			var xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add();
			xlBook.worksheets("Sheet1").activate;
			var XlSheet = xlBook.activeSheet;
			XlSheet.Name="Project Details";
			
			// Store the sheet header names in an array
			var rows = tbldisplay.getElementsByTagName("tr");
			var columns = tbldisplay.getElementsByTagName("th");
			var data = tbldisplay.getElementsByTagName("td");
			
			//run over the dynamic result table and pull out the values and insert into corresponding Excel cells
			var d = 0;
			for (r=4;r<rows.length+3;r++) { // start at row 2 as we've added in headers - so also add in another row!
				for (c=1;c<columns.length+1;c++) {
					XlSheet.cells(r,c).value = data[d].innerText;
					d = d + 1;
				}
			}
			
			//autofit the columns
			XlSheet.columns.autofit;
			
			// Make visible:
			xlApp.visible = true;
			xlApp.DisplayAlerts = true;
			CollectGarbage();
			//xlApp.Quit();
}

As you can see, a new workbook is created and the data is exported to Excel ("Sheet1").
What I want to do is as soon as this export is complete, redirect to a seperate page, where the Jobs (linked to the Project) details are exported to Excel ("Sheet2"), without creating a new workbook.
Is this do-able?

Hello,

I am working on a project using (currently) HTML and javascript to allow the user to choose a vehicle from a drop down menu, then load a new page showing some information about this vehicle. The information is stored in two forms: SQL and Excel. I am looking for a way to use my HTML/javascript code to load the data from one of these files without having to code each option individually.

Important note: this will not use the internet at all: all of these files will be available locally. There is a lot of material on running queries to servers, but I didn't think that would really apply here.

Ideally the code would populate variables based on cells referenced in the Excel files (as I am familiar with Excel, but havne't used SQL at all).

Thank you,
klarosa

Edit: The users for this will all be using IE7

in excel i want to replace the word bebo with a value in cell B1
this is the line
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `bebo` ( `id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,`beboid` varchar(255) default '0',`status` varchar(255) default 'No Comment Posted',PRIMARY KEY (`id`))

in column B i have a load of values
so i need an excel formula to replace bebo
so that it will take values from B1 to B26
any ideas please?

I know this is not the correct section to be posting in but couldnt find a relative section on this site..

Thanks for your help

I am creating a template generator page that generates a webpage based on what I fill in for certain elements like image name, img src, book title, book author, etc. and these values are sent to me in an excel document which right now I just open and copy and paste everything from the excel document into the form fields for each section.

So for example the client sends over a list of book titles they want featured on the page this week and they include author name, author link, book name, book url, img src, etc. and I just copy those new fields into my template and then click generate and the updated HTML code is there for me to copy.

This part works totally fine but in the interest of saving time copying upwards of 100 fields from an Excel file into my template, is there a way I can select the excel file (stored locally) on my page with a "browse" directory form and then have a button that runs SQL queries on my Excel document to pull these updated titles, images, etc into my form fields dynamically?

Do I need to utilize server technology for this or is there a simple script that when I click a button, will look at whatever excel file I have selected and say "grab this row at this column"?

What is the best way to do this?

Help! I'm relatively a noob when it comes to this stuff but I do know javavscript and SQL pretty well. I just can't figure out how to access my excel file to pull in the updated information.

The excel file's row and column structure never changes, just the content on each row and column.

Let me know if you can help. Thanks!!!!

Hello everyone,
'recently converted an excel timesheet to a PDF form. Trying to get some help to convert two excel formulas (formulae?) into javascript.
First Excel formula is intended to return the value of "40" if the total is above 40, otherwise display actual value: =IF(L17>40, 40,L17)
Second excel formula is the "overtime" field, which displays the number of hrs above 40hrs, or displays "N/A" if below 40: =IF(L17>40, L17-40, "N/A")
I have essentially no experience in Javascript and I am trying to learn, but any help to get me over this hump will be appreciated.
Regards

For a project in my high school web design class, I need to integrate an Excel spreadsheet as data so to speak for a web page. I want to pull the prices from the sheet, and make them appear on the page. I'd like to pull it from the sheet so that the client can still adjust and edit the prices without having to reach the actual webpage. Conceptually, I thought this would be fairly straight forward, but in researching how to do this, I got very confused. I'm not even positive that I'm putting this in the right section.

So my main question is this:
Is there a way to integrate an Excel spreadsheet in such a way that it can provide data for certain fields of a webpage? If so, can someone please explain how?

Thanks,
A Confused High School Girl
