In the past few days, many people have been asking about how to use CF to generate an EXCEL file. A demonstration program was written last night for your reference.

I suggest you try it out first. The program itself is not complicated. If you don't understand it, you 'd better send a question if you don't even read it...

All right, I will use my CCF Forum database for an experiment to open an EXCEL file online and generate an EXCEL file online. The file content is the name and number of all Forum sections of the CCF forum. By the way, I made a code to generate a WORD file and changed it. Let's take a closer look.
To open the OFFICE file online, you must have the OFFICE installed on your system. Remember this, or you will be prompted to download it.

<Cfquery name = "viewlist" datasource = "# request. dsn #">
Select boardID, boardNAME from board
Order by boardID
</Cfquery>

<! ----- This file is used to open the code online in the form of an EXCEL file ---->

<! Doctype html public "-// W3C // dtd html 4.01 Transitional // EN">
<Cfsetting enablecfoutputonly = "Yes">
<Cfquery name = "getboard" datasource = "# request. dsn #">
Select boardID, boardNAME from board
Order by boardID
</Cfquery>

<Cfloop query = "getboard">
<Cfoutput> # boardID # tabchar # boardname # newline # </cfoutput>
</Cfloop>

<! -------- Add an example of Generating WORD... note that only one of them is changed. --------->

<Cfloop query = "getboard">
<Cfoutput> # boardID # tabchar # boardname # newline # </cfoutput>
</Cfloop>

<! --- Everyone is concerned about it. Next we will make an important part ---->

<! Doctype html public "-// W3C // dtd html 4.01 Transitional // EN">
<Cfsetting enablecfoutputonly = "Yes"> <! -- Delete blank space to improve performance -->

<! -- Query data -->
<Cfquery name = "getboard" datasource = "# request. dsn #">
Select boardID, boardNAME from board
Order by boardID
</Cfquery>

<! -- Set all information to a variable filebody -->
<Cfloop query = "getboard">
<Cfoutput>
<Cfset filebody = filebody & "# boardID # tabchar # boardname #" & newline>
</Cfoutput>
</Cfloop>

<! -- Write filebody to a file -->
<Cffile action = "WRITE" file = "# writepath #" output = "# filebody #" addnewline = "No">

<Cfoutput> the information you need has been generated into an EXCEL file,
File address: <br>

: // # CGI. HTTP_HOST #/CF/Excel/file/#session.cfid#.xls </a>

</Cfoutput>

It is worth noting that I store dynamically generated XLS files in a folder named FILE. You must first create a FILE folder when running this code. Otherwise, an error may occur.
