GOT IT!!! I changed my code to the following: $sql = "SELECT * FROM brev_pending_summary_detail WHERE name = '$name_code'"; if (!empty($case_age)) { $sql.=" AND case_age_group = '$case_age'"; } if (!empty($case_cat)) { $sql.=" AND case_category = '$case_cat'"; } if (!empty($case_status)) { $sql.=" AND case_status = '$case_status'"; } // Start our query of the database $query = ifx_query($sql, $connect_id); $row = ifx_fetch_row($query); $results = array(); echo date('H:i:s') . " Add some data<br />\n"; for ($i = 3, $j = 0; $i <= $count; $i++, $j++) { $results[$j] = ifx_fetch_row($query); $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A' . $i, $results[$j]['stat_year']); $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('B' . $i, $results[$j]['stat_month']); $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('C' . $i, $results[$j]['name']); $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('D' . $i, $results[$j]['case_age_group']); } I created a seperate query to get the row count...created an empty array ( $results = array(); ) I set $i = 3 so my results will start printing on line 3 of the spreadsheet I set $j = 0 so the row data will start at the first row of the results from my query Then I made the loop repeat until $i became equal to the total number of rows And I then set the value of my previsouly empty array equal to the current counted row of my query results And to round it all off I echo'd out my results by using the new $results($j) value appended with my database column names ['stat_year'] etc. AWESOME! I hope someone else learns from this or can use this!
