[Qgis-user] Re: [Qgis-developer] Excel Export from QGIS attribute table
Hi Andreas Who else would be interested in such functionality? this is one of the features qgis users/trainees ask more around here. So I guess that if they represent a part of the qgis users universe, such feature will interest quite a lot of people :) cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Re: [Qgis-developer] Excel Export from QGIS attribute table
Hello, I agree that such a tool would be very useful for many people. In my work I frequently have to collect environmental variables in a GIS and then export them to Excel/Calc for processing. To be able to this quickly with a few clicks would save me (and many people) a lot of time and patience. In ArcGIS this is only possible via the XtoolsPro extension (which is partly free), which directly exports the attribute table to a Excel spreadsheet ( http://www.xtoolspro.com/tools.asp#e5 ). I used ArcGIS for several years and during that time users kept asking ESRI to include the extension in core, with no success. This is obviously a detail for QGIS development, but for many end users like me, it makes a LOT of difference. Sometimes small details like these play a huge role when it comes to decide to start using a software.

If the QGIS team decides to add this feature, they might want to look at the freexl library.
