Make a contactsheet (maxscript to excel)
Hi,
I'm searching a way to create, write and save via maxscript a excel (.xls) file. I know that i can open excel file via OLEobject but i don't know how to format and save it. For example, i want to create a contactsheet of all objects in a scene for each xls line --> put the preview (.jpg file) and the name of current object. So cell A1= preview, cell B1= string name... and so on for each object. I can't find documentation on how to format data for .xls filetype. And, is there a way to put in excel (maybe via clipboard) a rendered image ?
Thanks for your advices |

One thing that I have done is just write it out to a CSV file and import that into Excel.

thanks PEN, you're right.
But i'd like to put an image into that file, not the path of this image....don't know if it's possible ? .CSV file can not handle a picture while .XLS can. Maybe i'd rather go with a HTML output format instead of making a .XSL |

Or you could use a XML format and read that in to a browser using JS.
