Forms Data Controls :: Formatting When Dumping A Data Grid To Excel?
Apr 9, 2010
I'm using the "Reponse.ContentType Method" for exporting from an ASP.NET page to excel using code similar to this:
[Code]....
That isn't my exact code since my code is in C# but otherwise basically the same. It works fine but when I open the file in Excel everything is formatted with the "General" data type. It doesn't matter if its a string, a number or a currency. I would like to be able to define how each column is formatted so that Excel displays the data properly with minimal if not any work from the user. I know the sw.ToString above is simply an html table that is in string form. Do I have to parse that string and add in something to format each cell or can I do something with the DataGrid object or something completely different? This seems like it would be a common problem or desire but I can't find much of anything on it anywhere.
How can I export data from a Gridview to excel and once exported the data should be formatted in right to left (arabic) manner. How can I achieve this?
I finally managed to export a gridview to an excel sheet.
Next, how can I remove the column width and alternatingrowstyle color (or all formatting if it is easier) "programatically" before exporting it to excel?
I'm exporting data to an excel sheet from the ojects list. The data is exporting to excel sheet well, but I'm unable to see the grid format for the data. The data is looking with out the rows and columns lines.I think I'm missing to set some property or somethnig ehwn exporting.
I'm using ASP.NET VB. I've to export my data (which is in dataset) into excel. Most important thing is I've to put a Report heading on Excel file with font formating like Bold, font size, I've to make bold a headings of columns and have to change the font of complete report.
i have a page having 12 gridviews which cell background color depend on another cell value.now the requirement of my project is download to these 12 gridviews in single excel file in multiple sheets like gridview 1 in sheet1 gridview2 in sheet2 likewise,,,,,,,,,,,i have seen your article on downloading multiple gridviews on same page but i want in above mention format........
I have a file pdf, in file pdf of me has a table with many columns. How to Fill data from file pdf to columns of file Excel?I want fill data from file table of file pdf to file excel following format of file pdf.
I have master page concept in the project where as i am trying to create the export function in the child contrl.on the button click i wrote the below code
I'm trying display data from a sqldatasource but I need to customize fonts, sizes and layouts. What would be the best way to do this. There's not much data only 8 rows and 3 cloums.
It's for a display screen that will show workers how much product they have produced.
I was looking at binding the data to lables and laying out the lables in a table but that process looks intense and streching my knowledge.
I am facing certain problems with the data formatting in GridView when the data is bound dynamically to it.
I have a DateTime column and want to only show Date from it and not the time.
Another Decimal type column which accepts decimal upto 4 places, I want to show decimal upto the places defined in the particular value (don't know how to put it in the correct way, but here is an example of what I want).
i.e.
1.0000 should be displayed as 1 after the databound in the gridview.
I am looking for a method to format gridview bound data using javascript.
I know you can have custom formating in Eval using:
[Code]....
But I am looking for a way to perform this task on client side, rather than doing it on the server.
For example if I want to format a date field being bound in a custom way, something like emails date received in gmail. (Only show time if it is today's date [15:30] and only show day and month if it is this year date [14 Jan] and show the full date if it is not this year [10/10/2009].
So, how I use javascript to format a field (ie. custom date format or setting a control visibility)?
i have a store procedure that load data in a table of SQL SERVER 2008 from an excel file.the issue is, that the excel file have a column of DATE type, and i want that the system interprets the format in it, no matter what comes in it.dd/MM/yyyy mm/dd/yyyyi have an argue about this with my parnerts, cause i think is imposible, if you don't have a format before the process runs.
