I need to run subtotals on an excel sheet from an ASP
page. I'm able to create the page and populate it with
data, but I can not figure out how to subtotal.

When I created a macro, the VB line was the following:
Selection.Subtotal GroupBy:=5, Function:=xlSum,
TotalList:=Array(10, 12, 13 _
), Replace:=True, PageBreaks:=False,
SummaryBelowData:=True

This line creates an error in the ASP page, and I read
that I should remove the names and := suymbols. This
gave me the following line:
..Selection.Subtotal 5, xlSum, Array(10, 12, 13, 16, 18,
21, 24, 27), True, False, True

This line does not create an error, but it doesn't
subtotal either, it just cuases the browser to hang.

I read how to do this in Fox Pro, so I assume their is a
way to handle it in VB Script.

Thanks!
 
Already tried that, same result. Thanks for the reply
tho! I'm also having trouble setting the printer
orientation. Is their a good website for excel
automation through asp?
 
I don't know anything about asp, but my understanding is that you use
automation from ASP (through vbscript) same as you would from VB or word or
access or vbscript itself (as examples). If so:

But both of your problems sound like they could stem from using xlconstants
that are undefined at runtime. xlsum appears to have a value of zero since
you don't have a reference to the xl object library where the constant is
defined. However, if you have tried hard coding the constant and are using
positional arguments and it still doesn't work, then I can't say.
