[AccessD] Export To Excel - Formulas Possible?

Thanks Jim (and Paul): 

I've run through a couple of samples and have successfully exported a
recordset, created a new sheet, and it looks like I should be able to do
this ... My main concern is the embedding of the formulas in the rows ... Is
it possible as I export the recordset to create a calculated column ... 

EX:	Column1	Column2	Column3 (calculated Column1 + Column2)
Oct	2		5		7
Nov	4		8		12
Total	6		13		19		

Basically, can the Access application "remember" which cells it wrote to, so
I can create out a totals row? Just trying to figure this out before
committing to the project. 

Thanks!

Yes, you can dynamically add formulas to spreadsheets you create through
Access. You can also add worksheets as required.

 Hi:

I'm developing specifications for a reporting app that pulls information
from a corporate database. While the print reports won't be a problem, the
client also requires an export to excel with the following functionality.

1. Single Worksheet with multiple tabs
2. Application calculates totals in Excel. (that is, if they make a change
in the data in Excel, it is reflected in the totals).  

Question. Can I automate the creation of the spreadsheet if I have to embed
formulas to calculate totals, percentages, etc.? Or do I need to first
create a template in Excel? I'd like to be able to do this from Access,
since they'll be adding group categories to the list and I don't want to
have to continually revise the excel file. 

Thanks.
