Export to xlsx file

You can use the smart service - Export SQL data to Excel from the shared component Excel Tools.

This plugin export data to the rows in the excel, but I am looking to export data in the columns ...

I am not aware of any smart service that can do this. You can transpose the data manually after excel is generated - support.office.com/.../Transpose-rotate-data-from-rows-to-columns-or-vice-versa-3419f2e3-beab-4318-aae5-d0f862209744.

May be you can look at writing a SQL query which can transpose the data or use a view which returns the data in a format you need and export it using "Export SQL data to Excel" smart service

Hi Ravinder, YOu can achieve this through CDT to Excel Smart Service . create a CDT which mimics your structure present in column 1 (excel attached by you).

Run the Query entity to get all the information from the database.

manually associate the column value to the CDT field value one by one.

Use the Export CDT to Excel Plugin with configurations. Plug in can be downloaded through forum.appian.com/.../summary

hope this helps !!!

Hi Ravinder, Please ignore above post. I realized that this will not work, overlooked at the requirement. in this case the number of columns are not fixed so it will not work.

You may write SQL statements to convert rows to columns and export using "Export SQL data to Excel" smart service.

Hi Ravinder, You can try dynamic pivot tables in SQL for this if number of columns is going to be a small. Please check the link below. However this is not advisable for a growing transaction table because as number grows the query will take long time and it may eventually cause smart service to time out. This one is ideal for lookups.

If Number of columns is Big, than it is better to write data into an hidden sheet in excel and use Excel formulas to transponse data into sheets where you want to show it. This approach takes less time to implement and is scalable upto a good extent. Using smart services like SQL to CSV or Excel plugins we can write data into hidden sheets.

Please let me know if you need any help further.
