Create Excel Workbooks

You can save open data tables in a new or existing Excel workbook by using the Create Excel Workbook() function. The first example adds all open data tables without changing the worksheet names:

dt1 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp" );

dt2 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/San Francisco Crime.jmp" );

Create Excel Workbook( "c:/MyWorkbook1.xlsx" );

The following example creates MyWorkbook2.xlsx by combining the open Big Class Families.jmp and San Francisco Crime.jmp sample data tables.

dt1 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp" );

dt2 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/San Francisco Crime.jmp" );

// specify the data tables

tableList = {"Big Class Families", "San Francisco Crime"};

// specify the worksheets (optional)

sheetList = {"Families", "Crime"};

Create Excel Workbook( "c:/MyWorkbook2.xlsx", tableList, sheetList );

Use data table references to create the workbook.

dt1 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp" );

dt2 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/San Francisco Crime.jmp" );

Create Excel Workbook(

	"c:/MyWorkbook3.xlsx",

	{dt1, dt2}, // data table references

	{"Families", "Crime"}

);

Create Excel Workbook() also accepts a mix of data table references and data table names in the list. For example, {dt1, dt2} above can also be expressed as {dt1, "San Francisco Crime"}.

Notes:

• The saved file is an .xlsx file; the .xls format is not supported.

• The JMP data tables must conform to the maximum Excel limit of 1 million rows and 16,535 columns, or the data will be truncated in Excel.

• Data table references or data table names must always be in a list, even if the list has only one item.
