I am looking for the most efficient way to populate an excel spreadsheet with a recordset that is returned from a stored procedure.

Only options I get on Excel side for 'Import External Data' is to retrieve data from either Tables or Views. I am sure there is a way to handle sprocs.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

You can use DTS..

Create a connection to SQL Server, create a connection to your excel file and use a data pump task..

Krb_iiaba,

If I understood ur requirement correct, u want to write the content of a recordset (Coming as a return of a Stroed Procedure) to an Excel File?

Where do you want to do it. In front end or back end ?
What front end are you using ? VB / ASP ? or anything else?
Do u have the rights to create or change stored procedures or create a DTS in the DB?
