Hi Developers

My question is regarding sql server bcp utility:

How do I export data from sql server into excel sheet with the following extensions e.g. xls,xlsx, and xlsb using bcp tool, because I can export to .csv file and .txt file extensions but with excel it can not be open after exporting with bcp.

Any worker around to export into excel sheet will do help alot.

Thanks for your help in advance

what is it so necessary to export in the .xls, .xlsx formats? .CSV is suffcient as it can be open in excel easily

Hi _Asif_

Our clients need xls or xlsx or xlsb files

DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(512);
SET @cmd = 'bcp "SELECT * FROM AssetRegister WHERE FinancialAccountingPeriodID = ''4'';" queryout "C:\2014_Jul01_Jul31_AssetRegister201602040830.csv" -c -d VSmart3.Test -t, -S ZAV-TTY-DEV1\SQL2008R2 -T'
Exec xp_cmdshell @cmd
