Hi Jim: I'll need to populate it by groups ... Each group will have 12 rows and the same number of columns. So I'm thinking that I'll have start at a set position for each sheet, and then populate down from there, skipping a couple of rows after each grouping level. Basically, I'll need the company total to be at the top, followed by all of the subsets of the data grouped by category. Data will look something like this (will probably have about 9 columns total): Heading: Total Data By Company Month: PriorYrSales CurrYrSales %Increase (calculated) Jan 10 10 0% Feb 33 66 100% Mar 111 111 0% Apr 112 112 0% May 111 111 0% Jun 444 444 0% Total --- --- Heading: Total Data By Category 1 Month: PriorYrSales CurrYrSales %Increase (calculated) Jan 10 10 0% Feb 33 66 100% Mar 111 111 0% Apr 112 112 0% May 111 111 0% Jun 444 444 0% Total --- --- I'm thinking of looping through recordsets to get the separate data by category.

The basic way to plug a formula into a spreadsheet is along the lines of appExcel.range("f63:j63").Formula = "=k63" Access won't "remember" but there are various ways you can figure it out. How are you populating your spreadsheet? cell by cell? one big copyrecset? Tell me a bit more and I may be able to tell you the best way to set your totals.

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.
