I've been using active_scaffold_export for many years now. At one point there was a fork that had support for exporting to Excel format (not sure if it was XLSX or not). My application used this for a while until the fork no longer worked with the latest version of rails and/or active_scaffold (rails 3 I think). Most of my users really liked this, as they mostly use Excel to read the CSV anyways. So I think its a great idea, as I get a lot of requests from my users to bring it back.
And while I have your attention, I will shamelessly request a change that allows the user to "select all" or "deselect all" columns when checking the various columns to export. The fork that had Excel support also did this, and I haven't had time to figure out how to port the changes to the latest stuff. Heres the old fork I mentioned. https://github.com/bonefish/active_scaffold_export Thanks! -Nick On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 12:06 PM, Hernan Astudillo <[email protected]> wrote: > I would like to add support to export XLSX as an alternative to CSV, > through "axlsx" gem.
