Export To Excel component lets you export data out of your Xcelsius dashboards into an Excel Sheet. It goes one step forward in providing export facility from multiple ranges within an excel worksheet. The .xlx component is packaged along with a jsp file which should be hosted on a Java supported web application server. The jsp file needs a temporary location with ‘Write’ permissions/rights for it to create temporary files.

 

• No need to use multiple components to achieve the ‘Export to Excel’ functionality - XML Data Connection, URL Button, etc. The ‘Export To Excel’ component contains all the necessary properties required to export data to an Excel Format. The steps involved:

1. Use the ExportToExcel.xlx component within Xcelsius. Set all necessary properties.
2. Host the Export_Excel.jsp file in a Java supported web application server

• Allows export of multiple data ranges
• As the package is based on a mix of Xcelsius and Java technology , the ‘Export As Excel’ feature can be experienced on all platforms without being tied down only to a Windows based platform (.aspx hosted on IIS).
