Excel/CSV Reports Generation Implementation for Website

Excel and CSV Reports Generation

Export tabular data to Excel or CSV. Users download filtered/sorted reports, import to accounting, analyze in spreadsheets.

PHP: Laravel Excel (Maatwebsite)

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

Route::get('/reports/export', function () {
    return Excel::download(new ReportsExport, 'report.xlsx');
});

class ReportsExport implements FromCollection
{
    public function collection()
    {
        return Report::all();
    }
}

Node.js: ExcelJS

import ExcelJS from 'exceljs';

const workbook = new ExcelJS.Workbook();
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('Reports');

sheet.columns = [
    { header: 'ID', key: 'id' },
    { header: 'Name', key: 'name' },
];

reports.forEach(r => sheet.addRow(r));

await workbook.xlsx.writeFile('report.xlsx');

Implementation timeline

Basic export: <1 day. With formatting, charts, multiple sheets: 1–2 days.
