Re: exporting activities to Excel
Posted: 13 Feb 09 4:00 PM

1. Well you can dump it to EXCEL in SQL Query Analyzer.....
or
2. Build up a record Set of the user's activities....
and then
3. Call this script (not available in 6.10, it comes into SLX about 6.20....but we use it all of the time in 6.100000)
'Including Script - System:SLX Error Support
'*********************************************************************************************************
' Description: Export Grid or RS To Excel
' Purpose : Export data from a grid or recordset into an excel spreedsheet
' If grid object data will be displayed in excel exactly as what appears in the grid, any
' columns that are hidden will remain hidden
' If RS object data will be desplayed in excel exactly as what appears in RS, using a RS,
' however, allows the ability to customize the data prior to calling ExportRSToExcel
' Inputs : Grid object or Recordset object
' Written : 06/24/03
' Updates : November 2007, July 2008 RJ Samp Adjusted the Grid Output.
' August 2008 RJ Samp used RegExp output to eliminate nonprintable characters. Implemented a methodology to handle LARGE rowcounts.
' October 2008 RJS tested Excel RStoGrid from Stephen Redmond. Works fine. Added 'caption' hints.
' December 2008 added more hints for display captions.

fiogf49gjkf0d Evening all
Was wondering if somebody could help me out, am just getting into scripting and im just trying to get my head around this to use, just stuck on the very last bit, could somebody just explain to me what the following bit actually does please?
Any help would be very gratefully received
Thanks

fiogf49gjkf0d It's a "PrettyCase" function e.g. mike spragg is converted to Mike Spragg or MIKE SPRAGG converts to Mike Spragg. Essentially, makes it nicer looking - falls down on tradenames of course (IBM would go to Ibm) |

fiogf49gjkf0d Essentially, it's a text block parser. Imagine:
Field1;DataLine1;Field2;DataLine2;Field3;DataLine3
This function returns the Data item for the required item:
f1 = ParseTextLinePair ("data shown above","Field2") would return "DataLine2" and store it in the var f1.
It's a way of getting specific items from a block of unstructured data - by looking through it, working out if it exists and if so cutting the data apart to the left and right of it - returning just the item value you need. |
