Re: Spool to Excel File

Hi,

You won't be able to write an Excel format directly but you can create a .csv file, which Excel will happily read in - you'll just have no real formatting options.

Look into some of the sql*plus commands like "set heading off", "set verify off", "set feedback off", "set pages 0", "set lines 1000", "set trimspool on". Of course you might want different settings to the ones I proposed but you will find these commands useful to get rid of stuff you don't (or perhaps do) want in the file.

If you really want to generate a legitimate Excel file then start searching the web for programs to do this. I have seen one or two that do this reasonably well but cannot remember names.

Regards,

      Mark.
