The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't read XLS file

Asked by Coolhand2120 in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: , ,

I've made a few excel reading ASP pages using ADODB.  I can't seem to read this one file one of our customers keeps giving us.

This is the XLS file.
http://www.claydesign.com/experts-exchange/TSIT20041220.zip

Upload the file here (unzip it first):
http://www.claydesign.com/experts-exchange/uploadxls.asp

I can't see I8 or I10 in this file.  I really have no clue why only these two cells don't show up.

Feel free to test the file parser by uploading your own XLS file.  It only reads sheet 1.

You can view the uploadxls.asp code by viewing the source.  Below is the createtable.asp code:

<%@language=VBScript%>
<%
'Get binary data from form and save file to the server
set objUpload = Server.CreateObject ("Dundas.Upload.2")
objUpload.UseUniqueNames = false
Set objNextFile = objUpload.GetNextFile()
uploadname = objNextFile.FileName
objNextFile.save "C:\Inetpub\webhosting\www.claydesign.com\experts-exchange\QVCRepository\"
set objNextFile = nothing
Set objUpload = Nothing

'Use ADODB to open the excel file, use the GetRows method to fill the arrRows array
Set cnnExcel = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnnExcel.Open "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("QVCRepository\" & uploadname) & ";DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};"
Set rstExcel = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rstExcel.Open "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$];", cnnExcel
arrRows = rstExcel.GetRows
rstExcel.Close
set rstExcel = Nothing
cnnExcel.Close
set cnnExcel = Nothing

'Output the excel file to a table
response.Write "<table border=""1"">"
for x=lbound(arrRows,2) to ubound(arrRows,2)
response.Write "<tr>"
      for y=lbound(arrRows,1) to ubound(arrRows,1)
            response.Write "<td>&nbsp;" & arrRows(y,x) & "</td>"
      next
response.Write "</tr>"
next
response.Write "</table><br><a href=""http://www.claydesign.com/experts-exchange/uploadxls.asp"">Back</a>"
%>



Thanks for any help!!!
