Release notes for Servoy betas

Excel export

Postby jamezilla » Fri Sep 19, 2003 2:59 am

If I could request a feature, any feature, it would be Excel file format export.

We want to create a bunch of reports for accountants and various other bean counter types. I know Servoy can export tab delimited files, which can then be imported into Excel, but it's another step and an inconvenience.

FYI, the Jakarta POI project has some Excell Java libraries that could probably be used as boilerplate for the Servoy implementation.

Please? :wink:

cool,
Its for me I think.... I also need another small enhancement for the excel import. Is it possible in Servoy to schedule the import, so that it does automatically.

Thanks Block, waiting for that addon.

That leads me to an interesting question: how do I "schedule" anything in Servoy? Is that possible at all? What do you do if, say, you want to check for new mail every 5 minutes?

Needless to say, I'm impressed by your responsiveness. You guys rock!

I'm glad to see that the POI project was helpful, too.
