Anyone know of some code out there that does this already? I have a bunch of pages with data grids on them in an admin website they want to export them to Excel, was hoping someone had this written already - or if not I'll post mine when I am done.
Excel can open files in the format of CSV and XML - it can also generate the schema file.
if you have data grids then the chances are you have data sets.
There is a method on the dataset to output as XML.
you probably have to use an xmlWriter to save the file.

I hope to get a solution here. I am completely new to R and really all i need it for is to extract data from power query and append it to an existing csv file. The only export approach that i have come across only works for exporting to the local c drive as per my example below. This approach however does not work for files in sharepoint with a URL. Can you please advise on a solution? Thanks
write.csv(dataset,"c:\\documents\\test.csv ,append=true")
I would like to use a parameter with a csv data source. The csv would be whole numbers. I have been reading a lot but there is nothing about that. Thank you very much
So far I have made parameters with a query as a data source but this makes the parameter much slower
you can put a data source xml or excel format
In the menu, clicking on add -> add datasource-> xml or table
I'm currently working on a project which one of its modules is to upload a custom excel file then my code should recognize the excel file's template.
then Users should be able to determine which data is put in which excel field.
I am writing this with asp.net mvc. and so far I'm screwed. anyone knows where should I start? or what library I should Use? I'd really appreciate the help
For Fetching Excel File data in c# , I recommend you to study about Aspose.Cells, It is a third party Dll, There API is Easy to understand and Very Easy to implement.
In that you can Fetch Your Excel Files as
Workbook - Full Excel File
Worksheets - Sheets Inside Excel File
Cells - Group of Excel Cell
Cell - A single Cell which you can access in the form of 2D Array like A1 Cell of Excel Sheet Will be Cell[0][0];
It also gives you facility to put formulaes, Sorting, Blank Row Deletion and many more Things
Here you can easily Export your Excel sheet in a DataTable and vice Versa
Have a look at it is Easier to use.Thanks

this library was close to what I needed.
I Have to fetch data from database and download in Excel format without DataBind() on any Control.
Is There any Possible way to accomplish this task?
If you need to download in xlsx format, I can recommend ClosedXml - none of the nightmare of interop and requiring Excel on the same machine. Quite easy too - see this example: Adding DatatTable to Worksheet (ADO.net).

How to use BizTalk To disassemble Excel File .. Then Save these data in Database?
Can anyone provide me detailed steps of how to achieve this or any existing link for the same.
Wow - this is pretty open ended!
The steps you would generally take are:
1) Generate a Flat File schema that represents your excel file structure. As it's excel I'm assuming that your file is actually a CSV?
2) Create a custom pipeline that implements a flat file disassembler to convert CSV to Xml.
3) Using the WCF-LOB adapter, generate schemas for the Table you want to insert to. You might want to front this with a stored proc. I'm assuming an SQL or ORACLE database as you don't say what DB you are using!
4) Map your input Xml file to your Table/SP Schema.
5) Send your insert request to your DB (advise using Composite operations or a User defined table parameter to to avoid looping through your Xml and sending line-by-line!)
This is pretty high-level but frankly you are asking quite a few questions in one go!
HTH
In case it isn't not a CSV flat file as assumed by teepeeboy, and it is actually a XLS file you want to parse you will need something like FarPoint Spread for BizTalk. We've successfully used this to parse incoming XLS files attached to e-mails. The other option would be to write your own Pipeline component to do it but would be a lot of work. Other than that the steps that teepeeboy outline are what I would do as well.
