Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle to Excel
Thank you for your response Tom. I received other responses as well, and I
know that I can comma delimit a .txt file but I wanted to know if I could do
it all at one time, which is why I tried your suggestion first. It works
except that each field is in a separate row instead of a column.
Below is an example (1 record is shown):
53-041-02
0
2
AL POWER CO 51271
27-Nov-01
173.52
447-57
D412
173.52
226 DONNELL 43000
00014.04.D412
It looks like it thinks it is a carriage return instead of a tab. Any ideas?

Laura,
lots of tools do this for you automatically. Oracle discoverer will export the results of a query directly into Excel format.
You can do this yourself as follows:
in SqlPLus
select col1||chr(10)||col2||chr(10)
from table.
the chr(10) is the tab character.
spool the results to a output.xls
open the file using excel. the tab character is the default column delimiter. You should see all your data in cells.
hope this helps.

I think I have seen traffic concerning the extracting of data from Oracle
into an Excel spreadsheet. We now have a need for this. Could anyone
enlighten me?
Thank you in advance.
