Getting data from the function using an Object in CF

Question

I have a CFC object and a function which gets me the data which I want. Now I want to use that data and provide it to an already defined custom tag attribute. When I dump the #iEngine.listScore()# I get some parameters. But my problem is how should I provide those to an attribute?

<cfdump var="#iEngine.listScores()#" label="Swapnil Test - Function ListScore">     
<cfset filename="ACE_DataExtract_#DateFormat(now(),'dd.mmm.yyyy')#.xls" />
<!--- Calling Custom tags to create/output xls files --->
<cfmodule template="#request.library.customtags.virtualpath#excel.cfm" file="#filename#" sheetname="ACE Report">

  <cfmodule template="#request.library.customtags.virtualpath#exceldata.cfm"
    query="#iEngine.listScores()#" 
    action="AddWorksheet" 
    sheetname="ACE Report" 
    colorscheme="blue" 
    useheaders="true" 
    contentformat="#{bold=true}#"
    customheaders="#ListScore#">
      <cfoutput>Excel Extract - ACE Report - #DateFormat(Now(),"d-mmm-yyyy")#</cfoutput>
  </cfmodule>   
</cfmodule>

Here I want to provide the data of iEngine.listScore() to the "Query" attribute in "exceldata" custom tag.

Below is the dump of iEngine.listScore()

I would write a transform Data function to change your array-struct to a query object, then pass that on....

<cffunction name="transformData" result="query">
    <cfargument name="inArray" type="array">

    <cfset local.qryReturn = queryNew("actiondate,actionId,closedate")>
    <!--- You may look up queryNew and also set your dataTypes --->

    <cfloop array="#arguments.inArray#" index="i">
        <cfset QueryAddRow(local.qryReturn)>
        <cfset querySetCell(local.qryReturn,"actionDate",i["actiondate"])>
        <cfset querySetCell(local.qryReturn,"actionid",i["actionid"])>
        <cfset querySetCell(local.qryReturn,"closedate",i["closedate"])>
    </cfloop>

    <cfreturn local.qryReturn>
</cffunction>

<cfset test = [
    {actiondate='1/1/2015',actionid=134,closedate=''},
    {actiondate='1/2/2015',actionid=135,closedate=''},
    {actiondate='1/3/2015',actionid=136,closedate=''}
]>

<cfdump var="#test#">

<cfset resultQry = transformData(test)>
<cfif NOT isquery(resultQry)>
    Exit invalid Data.
<cfelse>
    <cfdump var="#resultQry#">
</cfif>
