Datagrid - Excel help

[steve]

Hi,

I have generated a datagrid with the following columns:

| Date-Time | Station ID | Parameter1 | .... | Parameter 2|

I would like to:

Create an Excel file and preferably give the user a choice to create one
separate Excel file per Station ID.

Also, later on i want to perform various statistics on the data that is too
hard to do with SQL (moving averages, etc.), since a datagrid means that
the data resides in memory , is it the best choice for me?
I mean, Create a Dataset, Populate a Datagrid, then do the statistics
through VB ?

Any suggestions, comments would be greately appreciated!
TIA

Something like this can be used to work with Excel in VB.Net.
You might need to download and install
Microsoft.Visua l.Studio.Tools. for.the.Microso ft.Office.Syste m to be able to
do this.

Imports Office = Microsoft.Offic e.Core
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Excel

objExcel = CreateObject("e xcel.applicatio n")
objBook = objExcel.Workbo oks.Open("C:\te st.xls")
objSheet = objBook.Workshe ets(1)
objSheet.Activa te()
objSheet.Cells( 1, 1) = "descriptio n"
objExcel.Active Workbook.SaveAs ( "c:\test.xl s" )
objExcel.Active Workbook.Close( savechanges:=Fa lse)
objSheet = Nothing
objBook = Nothing
objExcel = Nothing
