I am trying to export multiple tables from a webpage to an Excel workbook with one worksheet per table, has any one managed to do that without needing to transforming the tables into <rows> and leveraging the html <table> xml, ie inside<body></body>
Currently I am using the below function but, while it does create multiple worksheets, it puts all tables into the first worksheet.
function arrayToExcel(tablesId, filename) { var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'; var worksheetTemplate = '<x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions><table>{table}</table></x:ExcelWorksheet>'; var format = function(s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function(m, p) { return c[p]; }) } var worksheets = tablesId.map(function(name){ return format(worksheetTemplate, {worksheet: name}); }).join(''); var tables = tablesId.map(function(txt){ var table = document.getElementById(txt).innerHTML; return format(tableTemplate, {table}); }).join(''); var formattedXML = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]>' +'<xml><o:DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><o:Author>Dominik Dumaine</o:Author><o:Created>'+ (new Date()).getTime() +'</o:Created></o:DocumentProperties>' +'<x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets>' + worksheets +'</x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/plain; charset=UTF-8"/></head><body>' + tables +'</body></html>' , base64 = function(s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) } window.location.href = uri + base64(formattedXML);}
Has anybody have any suggestion as to how I can amend the above so the different tables go to different worksheets?
