I am trying to create a report in Excel using genexus data. It is easy, I click on a button called "Create a report", then I collect data from Genexus data and I set them up into Excel file. But I want headers to be shown up as vertical headers with picked data from GENEXUS. I hope you understood me, I am a spanish speaker. Do I have to use Javascript?
Setting vertical headers cannot be done using Excel Document API.
But you could create your Excel Document from an existing Excel Template that already has all the "styling" you need.

I am trying to automate my survey analysis pipeline and would like to link the data from a Microsoft Form to an Excel sheet.
This is what the page looks like with results collected:
But you have to click the open in excel to get the table of results. I was wondering if it would be possible to automate this so that it updates to capture all responses like once a day into an Excel sheet...this is what the output looks like when you click the button.
Any tools or tips would be great! I have some experience with R and Python so could implement that too...
Forms is already linked to an excel file, the "Open in Excel" button is a link to the excel file, which is saved either in files on your teams channel or in sharepoint.
The data is in a table automatically, and on sharepoint you can link between tables in different spreadsheets using the Data -> Get Data menu in excel.
Situation/requirement: I have a sharepoint list. The entries in this sharepoint list go as entry to an excel sheet which is a form to be printed out. I am looking into a functionality flow/app that could be used to export the new entries to fill and print out to an excel template. Any thoughts?
#Gaurav Vasishth,
Power Automate offers a connector that could update Excel file on the cloud.

You can use this connector to update rows or create worksheet/table.

I have an excel file with data and need to make this available on web.
The web version of the excel file need to have the following features
Switch between read and edit mode
All cells should be editable at the same time
Inline editing of each cell
Save all cells that have been changed with a single button.
Ability to add and remove rows
Store values in notes document(s)
I have looked at the Dojo Grid JSON REST control in the extension library sample database and it does basically all that I want but I am not happy with the presentation and it seem a bit limited as I later on may need to add other actions to the table cells.
I am looking for an html table version
Which controls should I use to accomplish this? and how can I create a submit button that saves all cells/rows?
Thanks for helping out

There is also a project on OpenNTF that gives you a full fledged spreadsheet, that can even load Excel files. It is based on the OpenSource ZK-Spreadsheet
Have a look!
The OpenNTF project was one of the winners in the first OpenNTF contest.
All of those options are possible with the EXTJS grid
You can see some examples here
http://demo.xomino.com/xomino/extjs.nsf
or on the blog
http://xomino.com/extjs
but also check out the examples on the sencha page

I'm using SoftArtisans ExcelWriter for SSRS (ver 8.6), and am wondering if it is possible to create a (non-pie) chart, e.g. a Stacked Bar chart, that has multiple series?
I can create pie charts easily enough, and that is what the help docs show, but there is no samples for other types of charts for SSRS integration.
The excel template is embedded in the .rdl file, and the spreadsheet is created when the user exports the generated report using OfficeWriter's Excel rendering extension. However the report is run manually by users, so I don't have the ability to execute any code to modify the Excel object before the user sees it.
Can anyone either confirm that only pie charts are possible for SSRS Integration, or provide some insight into how other chart types are possible?
You can create any type of chart that Excel can create, since you are creating your chart in your template file with Excel.
Here is an example of how I setup my template to build a scatter chart (Please ignore the title of the chart, I forgot to rename it from Pie Chart).
I insert a chart into my template, set the type to be scatter, and I placed 4 data markers under my chart, from two data sources.
Next I edit the Chart's series and point them to the data markers in my file. When the template is populated from ExcelWriters SSRS integration, it will replace all the datamarkers with your data, and update the chart's series.
After redeploying the template file to my report server, I can now export the file to Excel for OfficeWriter, and my output is shown below.
Disclaimer: I am a developer on OfficeWriter and work for SoftArtisans the makers of OfficeWriter.
Please let me know if this helps.
You should be able to create any type of chart.
The way that OfficeWriter SSRS integration works (and just the plain Template object for that matter), is that it takes all of your data and inserts it into your data markers. Then it finds references in your workbook that pointed to your data markers, and expands them to point to all of the new inserted data.
So really you can add any type of chart. You just have to make sure that the chart you create points to the data markers as the source data.
A data marker will correspond to a single series or to horizontal axis data. Then as the data is populated, the values in the series are populated.
On our reporting demo page there's a link at the bottom that says "View Report Template" that you can click on to download and Excel file that shows a variety of different charts pointing to data markers.
I am using Qt 4.5 and Windows XP. I need to create an Microsoft Excel Document that has data (some labels and values) from the Qt application. I need to format those data with some fonts,bold,italics,color, background color etc., Besides ordinary data, there will be Picture files (JPG) also. I need to add those into the Excel. I know retrieving values from Excel using QAxWidget, QAxObject. But I don't have a clue about the formatting options that can be applied to cells through Qt and adding images as well?? Any help regarding this are welcome.
There are a few options:
Use a cross platform library
xlslib is one such library
Use the Excel Object model directly If your program will run on a
machine that has office installed
you can use COM or ActiveX to tie into the
Excel object model to create the
workbooks. Excel has a rich and
complete object that will let you do
most operations.
Write to an intermediate database Write the QT
data to some type of database and
pull the data using Excel. This
route requires in depth Excel
knowledge and a database.
Write out an XML format that Excel can understand
Excel 2003 can understand
SpreadsheetML. Simple formatting
should be straight forward to construct an XML
document for. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb226687(office.11).aspx
Excel 2007 can
understand OpenXML. I have not worked
with it, but I understand it is more
complicated (i.e. more feature rich) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338205.aspx
