    RE: How to Export the Records

    Hi,

    Please create your own function to enter the values in Cell instead of Addcolumn functions

    RowNo : Integer

    RowNo := 1;

    EnterCell(RowNo : Integer;ColumnNo : Integer;CellValue : Text[250];Bold : Boolean;Italic : Boolean;UnderLine : Boolean;DoubleUnderLine : Boolean;Format : Text[30];CellType : Option)

    TempExcelBuffer.INIT;
    TempExcelBuffer.VALIDATE("Row No.",RowNo);
    TempExcelBuffer.VALIDATE("Column No.",ColumnNo);
    TempExcelBuffer."Cell Value as Text" := CellValue;
    TempExcelBuffer.Formula := '';
    TempExcelBuffer.Bold := Bold;
    TempExcelBuffer.Italic := Italic;
    IF DoubleUnderLine = TRUE THEN BEGIN
    TempExcelBuffer."Double Underline" := TRUE;
    TempExcelBuffer.Underline := FALSE;
    END ELSE BEGIN
    TempExcelBuffer."Double Underline" := FALSE;
    TempExcelBuffer.Underline := UnderLine;
    END;TempExcelBuffer.NumberFormat := Format;
    TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type" := CellType;
    TempExcelBuffer.INSERT;

     procedure MakeVendor()
        var
            TempExcelBuffer: Record "Excel Buffer";
        // "Vendor No.":Code[20];
        begin
            Row := 1;
            Column := 1;
            EnterCell(RowNo,ColumnNo,Vendor.No.,Bold,Italic,UnderLine,DoubleUnderLine,Format,CellType
            Column += 1;
            EnterCell(RowNo,ColumnNo,Vendor.No.,Bold,Italic,UnderLine,DoubleUnderLine,Format,CellType
            Column += 1;
            EnterCell(RowNo,ColumnNo,Vendor.No.,Bold,Italic,UnderLine,DoubleUnderLine,Format,CellType
        end;

    RE: How to Export the Records

    Hi Bruvik,

                   I am sharing my code I am calling from the functions from codeunit in the report.

     procedure MakeVendor()
        var
            TempExcelBuffer: Record "Excel Buffer";
        // "Vendor No.":Code[20];
        begin
            TempExcelBuffer.NewRow();
            TempExcelBuffer.AddColumn('Vendor No.', false, '', true, false, true, '', TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type"::Text);
            TempExcelBuffer.AddColumn('Vendor Name', false, '', true, false, true, '', TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type"::Text);
            TempExcelBuffer.AddColumn('Vendor Address', false, '', true, false, true, '', TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type"::Text);
        end;

        procedure MakeBody()
        var
            TempExcelBuffer: Record "Excel Buffer";
            Vendor: Record Vendor;
        begin
            TempExcelBuffer.NewRow();
            TempExcelBuffer.AddColumn(Vendor."No.", false, '', false, false, false, '', TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type"::Text);
            TempExcelBuffer.AddColumn(Vendor.Name, false, '', false, false, false, '', TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type"::Text);
            TempExcelBuffer.AddColumn(Vendor.Address, false, '', false, false, false, '', TempExcelBuffer."Cell Type"::Text);
        end;

        procedure CreateExcel()
        var
            TempExcelBuffer: Record "Excel Buffer";
        begin
            TempExcelBuffer.CreateNewBook('Vendors');
            TempExcelBuffer.WriteSheet('Vendor', CompanyName, UserId);
            TempExcelBuffer.CloseBook();
            TempExcelBuffer.SetFriendlyFilename('Vendors');
            TempExcelBuffer.OpenExcel();
        end;
    I am calling these functions in the Report Triggers, and through the Action I am calling this,
     action(ExportVendor)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    Caption = 'ExportVendor';
                    ToolTip = 'Exports the Selected Vendors';
                    trigger OnAction()
                    var
                        EmployeeCreation: Report "Create Employee in Vendor VEL";
                    begin
                        EmployeeCreation.Run();
                        Message('process Finished');
                    end;
    Can you please guide me where I am wrong in this, 
    Thanks & Regards,
    P V Sarath.

    It seems that you are violating the primary key in the table.

    Make sure you increment the row and or column number for every new insert.

    Maybe you you can share your code so we can easier help you figure out your problem?
