Excel Export Group Data

Excel Export Group Data

Question:
I used your Excle OLE Automation and it works great! Is there any way to capture subtotals? Excel captures only what is in the primary buffer. When I retrieve the datawindow, I modify column headings and create summary bands and trailers, all lost in Excel.

Answer:
The best solution would be to manually examine the datawindow for the group information. Then using the FindGroupChange function, you can find out where the groups break. Then you can call a getitem for the row and computed column in the group before the break and insert an extra line into the Excel spreadsheet in the correct location.

Maybe this would be a good extension to the example on inquiry.com!
