    SELECT  EID
          ,  CAST(#arguments.Config[2]# AS Decimal) AS [Value]

Do I have to beild the table piece by piece?

Solution

  • To get CF to stuff the contents into a query, you need to use the "query" attribute, not the "name" attribute

    <cfspreadsheet action="read" 
       src="#request.dropfolder##arguments.DSN#" 
       query="qryFromFile" 
       excludeHeaderRow="true" 
       ... >
