SpreadsheetSetCellValue(theSheet,365,3,5); //Get the value from the Excel spreadsheet object. theValue=SpreadsheetGetCellValue(theSheet,3,5); WriteOutput("The value of column 5 row 3 is: " & theValue); </cfscript> |
Example 2 | Using the datatype parameter
<cfscript>
// create a query with data to write an excel file.
q_data = QueryNew("n1, n2, n3, s4, s5, d6", "",
[
{n1:"1.203E+4", n2:"1.230E4", n3:"103E4", s4:"1.203E+4", s5:"1.230E4", d6:"4 jan 15"},
{n1:"1.203E+4", n2:"1.230E4", n3:"103E4", s4:"01.203E+4", s5:"9.230E4", d6:"15 dec 15"}
