Export data to existing EXCEL file from SQL Server table

insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;',

'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from SQLServerTable

2 Export data from Excel to new SQL Server table

select *

into SQLServerTable FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;HDR=YES',

'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

3 Export data from Excel to existing SQL Server table

Insert into SQLServerTable Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;HDR=YES',

'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')

4 If you dont want to create an EXCEL file in advance and want to export data to it, use

EXEC sp_makewebtask

@outputfile = 'd:\testing.xls',

@query = 'Select * from Database_name..SQLServerTable',

@colheaders =1,

@FixedFont=0,@lastupdated=0,@resultstitle='Testing details'

(Now you can find the file with data in tabular format)

5 To export data to new EXCEL file with heading(column names), create the following procedure

create procedure proc_generate_excel_with_columns

(

@db_namevarchar(100),

@table_namevarchar(100),

@file_namevarchar(100)

)

as

--Generate column names as a recordset

declare @columns varchar(8000), @sql varchar(8000), @data_file varchar(100)

select

@columns=coalesce(@columns+',','')+column_name+' as '+column_name

from

information_schema.columns

where

table_name=@table_name

select @columns=''''''+replace(replace(@columns,' as ',''''' as '),',',',''''')

--Create a dummy file to have actual data

select @data_file=substring(@file_name,1,len(@file_name)-charindex('\',reverse(@file_name)))+'\data_file.xls'

--Generate column names in the passed EXCEL file

set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp " select * from (select '+@columns+') as t" queryout "'+@file_name+'" -c'''

exec(@sql)

--Generate data in the dummy file

set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp "select * from '+@db_name+'..'+@table_name+'" queryout "'+@data_file+'" -c'''

exec(@sql)

--Copy dummy file to passed EXCEL file

set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''type '+@data_file+' >> "'+@file_name+'"'''

exec(@sql)

--Delete dummy file

set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''del '+@data_file+''''

exec(@sql)

After creating the procedure, execute it by supplying database name, table name and file path

EXEC proc_generate_excel_with_columns 'your dbname', 'your table name','your file path'

I hope this solves your problems.
