Laura,

lots of tools do this for you automatically. Oracle discoverer will export the results of a query directly into Excel format.

You can do this yourself as follows:

in SqlPLus

select col1||chr(10)||col2||chr(10)
from table.

the chr(10) is the tab character.
spool the results to a output.xls

open the file using excel. the tab character is the default column delimiter. You should see all your data in cells.

hope this helps.

I think I have seen traffic concerning the extracting of data from Oracle into an Excel spreadsheet. We now have a need for this. Could anyone enlighten me?

Thank you in advance.

Laura
