Question

i need to export 3 full sql table values in to a single excel sheet using store procedure.
i have done with single table ,

query i have used for single table :

   set @sql='bcp "select * from  Veest..ven_machinedescription_day_report " queryout   c:\Daily_Reports\data_file.csv  -c -t,  -T -S' + @@servername          
   exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql          


   --Copy dummy file to passed EXCEL file        
   set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''type '+@data_file+' >> "'+@file_name+'"'''        
   exec(@sql)        


  --Delete dummy file         
    set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''del '+@data_file+''''        
    exec(@sql) 

the above query is working fine..
for saving 3 tables values , i have done like this ,

          set @sql='bcp "select * from  Veest..ven_machinedescription_day_report " queryout   c:\Daily_Reports\data_file.csv  -c -t,  -T -S' + @@servername          
              exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql  
        set @sql1='bcp "select * from  Veest..ven_machinedescription_night_report " queryout   c:\Daily_Reports\data_file.csv  -c -t,  -T -S' + @@servername          
       exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql1  
           set @sql22='bcp "select * from  Veest..ven_machinedescription_midnight_report " queryout   c:\Daily_Reports\data_file.csv  -c -t,  -T -S' + @@servername          
      exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql2

when i saw the data_file.csv, only the last execution (@sql2) is saved..the data is not being appended.. i need output similar to the below image..

some times the total columns numbers will be not same in all the 3 tables..
plz help me out to solve this issue..

thanks n regards,

Create a view. Then export from the view to Excel.

CREATE VIEW vending_report
AS
    SELECT 'A' segment, col1, col2, shift_type, col4, col5, col6
    FROM ven_machinedescription_day_report

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'B', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'C', col1, col2, shift_type, col4, NULL, NULL
    FROM ven_machinedescription_night_report

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'D', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'E', col1, col2, shift_type, col4, col5, NULL
    FROM ven_machinedescription_midnight_report
GO

SELECT col1, col2, shift_type, col4, col5, col6
FROM vending_report
ORDER BY segment
