In this blog post, I will explain how to dynamically export Simple Form contents and Table data to a spreadsheet dynamically using OData Service. Additionally, I have covered the process of applying CSS styles to the table data dynamically.

With the provided code, you will learn how to add colors to each column in the spreadsheet and apply styles to particular cells in Excel.

Furthermore, I have included a detailed explanation of exporting the Simple Form contents dynamically to an Excel file using HTML tags.

The "xlsx" library is a JavaScript library that allows you to read, write, and manipulate Microsoft Excel files in the XLSX format.

Steps includes:

1. Creating a table and simple form in a View

2. Declaring 3rd party libraries in controller

3. Export functionality

4. Output

1.Creating a table and simple form in a XML View.

2.Declaring 3rd party library in controller.

· For this I created libs folder in my project with .js file with name styleXLSX


· Copy code from given below link and paste into js file

https://github.com/gitbrent/xlsx-js-style/blob/master/dist/xlsx.bundle.js

We must paste below library in html file


We must declare 3rd part library in controller 




"$.sap.require(exportdynamically/exportdynamically/libs/styleXLSX”);";
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller",
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel",
"sap/ui/model/Filter",
"sap/ui/model/FilterOperator",
"sap/m/MessageBox",
"exportdynamically/exportdynamically/libs/styleXLSX"
],

3.Export Functionality Code: 

To get the simple form content and table data 
onExport: function () { 
var that = this;
var col_length = [];
//simple form data
var Form2contents = that.getView().byId("formid").getContent();
//table data
var data = [];
var index = that.byId("table").getBinding("items").getCurrentContexts();
index.forEach(function (item) {
var sPath = item.sPath.split("/")[2];
data.push(that.getView().getModel("tabmodel").getData().Invoices[sPath]);
});
var html = "";
// Add header row to the table
html += "<tr><th colspan='4'>SimpleForm</th></tr>";
// Loop through Form2contents and populate form rows dynamically
for (var i = 0; i < Form2contents.length; i += 2) {
html += "<tr>";
html += "<td colspan='2'>" + Form2contents[i].getText() + "</td>";
// Check if there is another cell in the row (i.e., Form2contents[i+1])
if (Form2contents[i + 1]) {
html += "<td colspan='1'>" + Form2contents[i + 1].getText() + "</td>";
}
html += "</tr>";

}
//Adding header
html += "<tr><th colspan='3'>Table Data</th></tr>";
//Adding the columns to table
html += "<tr><td>Country</td><td>Product Name</td><td>Customer Name</td></tr>";
//adding the data dynamically
for (var k = 0; k < data.length; k++) {
html += "<tr>";
html += "<td>" + data[k].Country + "</td>";
html += "<td>" + data[k].ProductName + "</td>";
html += "<td>" + data[k].CustomerName + "</td>";
html += "</tr>";
}
// jQuery to set the HTML content of the element with the ID "tableHtml"
$("#tableHtml").html(html);
var Table = "<table>" + html + "</table>";
//A new HTML <div> element is created
var Sheet = document.createElement("div");
//The innerHTML property of the Sheet div element is set to the value of the Table
Sheet.innerHTML = Table;
//Create a work sheet
var worksheet = XLSX.utils.table_to_sheet(Sheet, {
cellStyles: true
});
var header_styles = {
fill: {
fgColor: {
rgb: "E9E9E9"
}
},
font: {
bold: true,
sz: 14
},
alignment: {
horizontal: "center"
}
};
var label_styles = {
font: {
bold: true,
sz: 11,
color: {
rgb: "800000"
}
},
alignment: {
horizontal: "center"
}
};
//applying styles to particular cells
worksheet["A1"].s = header_styles;
worksheet["A5"].s = header_styles;
worksheet["A2"].s = label_styles;
worksheet["A3"].s = label_styles;
worksheet["A4"].s = label_styles;
worksheet["A6"].s = label_styles;
worksheet["B6"].s = label_styles;
worksheet["C6"].s = label_styles;
// This line decodes the range of the worksheet, represented by worksheet['!ref'].
var totalSheetrange = XLSX.utils.decode_range(worksheet['!ref']);
var Tablerange = {
s: {
c: 0,

r: 0
},
e: {
c: totalSheetrange.e.c,
r: totalSheetrange.e.r
}
};
for (var R1 = Tablerange.s.r; R1 <= Tablerange.e.r; ++R1) {//loop continue from starting cell(s) ends to R1 is less or equal to ending cell(e)
for (var C1 = Tablerange.s.c; C1 <= Tablerange.e.c; ++C1) {//loop continue from starting cells(s) and to ending cell(e)
col_length.push({
wch: 20 //width for cell
});
// Now, you are encoding the cell reference based on the current row (R1) and column (C1).
var cellRef = XLSX.utils.encode_cell({
c: C1,
r: R1
});
if (R1 > 5) {
if (C1 === 0) {//for column 1
worksheet[cellRef].s = {
font: {
color: {
rgb: "A52A2A"
}
}
};
} else if (C1 === 1) {//for column 2
worksheet[cellRef].s = {
font: {
color: {
rgb: "FF0000"
}
}
};
} else if (C1 === 2) {//for column 3
worksheet[cellRef].s = {
font: {
color: {
rgb: "00FF00"
}
}
};
}
}
}
}
/* for auto fit column Width */
worksheet['!cols'] = col_length;
//crearing a new workbook
var workbook = XLSX.utils.book_new();
/* Append work sheet to work book */
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(workbook, worksheet, "Sheet1", {
widths: "auto"
});
//for print data and donload to excel
XLSX.writeFile(workbook, "Report.xlsx", {
bookType: 'xlsx',
bookSST: false,
type: 'binary'
});
}


Output: 


Conclusion:

When you click on the 'Export' button located in the footer, the Excel file will be downloaded.
