Hi Markus, I've actually implemented exactly what you are asking for and it works great and is fully controlled by the rules engine.
I've not looked into David(H)'s recommendation of ERDActionBar, but I've used the ERDBranchDelegate and ERDControllerButton solution outlined on the Wiki here: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/D2W+Flow+Control. I get one drop-down on the page from which I can select Export To Excel to export the entire result set (not just the currently visible batch) into an excel file. The columns, column names, etc. included in the Excel file are completely independent of what is shown on the page and are controlled by a D2W rules just like the page is.
