Is there a way to automate naming worksheets within sql or a toad option? As of now multiple queries export to Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 etc ? I want to set my worksheet names as CUSTOMER , CONTACT instead of Sheet 1 , Sheet2 etc. Appreciate your quick help.
Thanks,Siva
You can do this with TDP automation. When exporting to Excel, you can export multiple queries to the same workbook and name the worksheet as you suggested using the Advanced Export Properties dialog box. There is a “Worksheet Name” box that will allow you to specify the name for the current query’s output sheet.
For a short video of this, you can watch the following tutorial:
Exporting Data to Excel with Toad Data Point

or
Automating complex Excel reports with Toad Data Point

Neither of those videos show you have to name multiple tabs on the export.
If I try entering a worksheet name, then it only exports the first query.
How do I set up an automated proc that exports 2 queries to the same excel sheet, separate tabs, and names each of those tabs???
You can either create a template, name the tabs and then have 2 exports, one that exports the first sql code to “tab a” and then have it run the second code and send it to “tab b”
Or
You can have it run the first sql and save it to the xls and then run the second script when you’re creating your export, select append worksheet

You can even have the tabs named by a variable, just put the variable name inside of #'s (#TabNameVariable#) in the worksheet name box. Depending on which version of Toad you are using you may need to hit the Advanced button in the Select to File to get to the worksheet name box.
Perhaps an easier way to do this is to create one Export task with multiple individual exports that append each result set to the same Excel workbook. That way, you can name the worksheets anything you like. See snaps below. Hope this helps. Bring up the Export wizard
e.g. Tools-> Import Export Data-> Export Wizard
and when you are all done adding your individual extracts, make sure you save your work into an Export template file for use later on in your automation job.
I had the similar issue and Gary.Jerep from Quest helped me with this. The topic is "TDP V4.2 and higher -Automation Script exporting to Excel issue"
Thanks
