Hey,

 

I am doing something similar.

 

The way I did it, was to create a new VisualForcePage as below:

 

 

<apex:page standardstylesheets="false" controller="YourController" contentType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet">
	<apex:dataTable value="{!accounts}" var="account" id="theTable" rowClasses="odd,even"

                        styleClass="tableClass">

		<apex:facet name="caption">table caption</apex:facet>

		<apex:facet name="header">table header</apex:facet>

		<apex:facet name="footer">table footer</apex:facet>

		<apex:column>

		        <apex:facet name="header">Name</apex:facet>

			<apex:facet name="footer">column footer</apex:facet>

			<apex:outputText value="{!account.name}"/>

		</apex:column>

		<apex:column>

			<apex:facet name="header">Owner</apex:facet>

			<apex:facet name="footer">column footer</apex:facet>

			<apex:outputText value="{!account.owner.name}"/>

		</apex:column>

	</apex:dataTable>
</apex:page>

 

The important bit is contentType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"

 

 

So I would

 

  • Create a link that opens in a new tab to the excel page.
  • Bind the table as you are doing in your current page.
  • When the link is clicked, an xslx file will be downloaded.

 

Cheers,

Adam
