Re: Excel as a Target using Data Services 4.2

HI Gerardo,

As Dirk mentioned DS cannot generate an XLS or XLSX file but we can use the scripting technique to generate an excel file on the drive

/***Declare a Global Variable for the Location of Xcel file

$G_PROCESSED_LOCATION ='\\\XYZ_Location\ Excel_Location';

exec('cscript','[$G_PROCESSED_LOCATION]\Excel_create.vbs', 8);

The script for Excel_create.vbs should be something like below:

strFileName = "c:\test.xls"

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True

Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add()
objWorkbook.SaveAs(strFileName)

objExcel.Quit
