Hi all,

I'm back with an Excel file generation UDF that can manage multi-sheet workbook but without the need to have Excel installed on the computer...

You can add more functions if you want but keep always my name in the post of greetings.

Jerome,

I registered so I could let you know that I'm really glad you posted this file.

Not needing to install Excel on a web server, but still be able to generate Excel files, has been a huge help.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm back with an Excel file generation UDF that can manage multi-sheet workbook but without the need to have Excel installed on the computer...

You can add more functions if you want but keep always my name in the post of greetings.

Hi,

It's a long time I have posted this, I even forgot it because of the lack of interrest here...

Nice to see it helps. There is a lot of things to enhance in this module...

Feel free to modify it and share it back here !

Have a nice day

jerome, nice work!

I have added a line in your script, 

Func _XLSCreateWorkbook($file, $activesheet=1)
     If IsString($file) Then FileDelete($file)
     $activesheet -= 1
     FileWriteLine($file, '<?xml version="1.0"?>')

FileWriteLine($file, '<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>') ;<<<<<<<<<<<< this line
     FileWriteLine($file, '<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">')
     FileWriteLine($file, '<DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><Author>XLSXMLGenerator</Author><Created>'&@YEAR&'-'&@MON&'-'&@MDAY&'T'&@HOUR&':'&@MIN&':'&@SEC&'</Created><Company>XLSXML</Company></DocumentProperties>')
     FileWriteLine($file, '<ExcelWorkbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"><ActiveSheet>'&$activesheet&'</ActiveSheet></ExcelWorkbook>')
EndFunc

to avoid the message that appears when using Office2007/2010.

Thanks for sharing.

I belive this is a generation udf, not a reading udf.

try reading the helpfile then post some code in the general help and we will try to help.

Just writing "I have a requirement... Please help me." is probably not gonna get much interest

sorry, i wasn't clear earlier.

My intention is to know whether is there any way to read Excel through autoit scripts without excel being installed on that machine.

Open the help file and go to User Defined Functions Refrence > Excel Management and see if you can figure it out.

Right now it looks like yes you can, but i dont know.

You can't use the Excel UDF because the UDF relies on the application being installed. The first statement in _ExcelBookOpen is:

Local $oExcel = ObjCreate("Excel.Application")

But if I remember correctly you can see an Excel file as a database and access it with ADO.

but what is the reason for not installing Excel on the machine ?

Might be a server they don't want Office installed on, or a machine in a corporation that is locked down so it can't be installed, they don't want to/can't afford to pay for Excel/Office but need to generate spreadsheets, company machine that's not licensed to use Excel. Those are just off the top of my head. :huh2:

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Cause i was thinking the problem might have been money and buying MS office, because they could just get open office?

Thank you!...i am able to do it with ADO.

About Excel not being installed, we have a test environment wherein it should be a clean system without any software installed except the OS.

Thanks Once again!

jerome, nice work!

I have added a line in your script,

Func _XLSCreateWorkbook($file, $activesheet=1)
If IsString($file) Then FileDelete($file)
$activesheet -= 1
FileWriteLine($file, '<?xml version="1.0"?>')

FileWriteLine($file, '<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>') ;<<<<<<<<<<<< this line
FileWriteLine($file, '<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">')
FileWriteLine($file, '<DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><Author>XLSXMLGenerator</Author><Created>'&@YEAR&'-'&@MON&'-'&@MDAY&'T'&@HOUR&':'&@MIN&':'&@SEC&'</Created><Company>XLSXML</Company></DocumentProperties>')
FileWriteLine($file, '<ExcelWorkbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"><ActiveSheet>'&$activesheet&'</ActiveSheet></ExcelWorkbook>')
EndFunc

to avoid the message that appears when using Office2007/2010.

Thanks for sharing.

M.I.

even with the line you had added it stills showing up that error, try to change file extension to xml ;)

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.
C'mon there's InetRead and WinHTTP, way better
