Export To Excel customization in UI5

Dear All,

     SAP Explored Provided to download Table data in csv view without format.But, most of the time we want to download as in format. here is the code, you can download the data in excel with format.

     For every table why should we write download excel method in controller. We will write below controller method as reusable by calling the method in controller to pass just tableId and the table binded reference. 

call the method in any controller method like below,

    var tableId = this.getView().byId(“idTable”);

        var oModel = table.getModel(“odata”);//odata is the model, which is binding to the table

     exportToExcel(tableId, oModel);

Add here you can export ObjectIdentifier, ObjectNumber, Link,… Controllers also.

In Xml View,

<Table id=”idTable”  items=”{odata>/modelData}” >

            <headerToolbar>

                <Toolbar>

                    <ToolbarSpacer></ToolbarSpacer>

                    <Button icon=”sap-icon://download” tooltip=”DownLoad XL” press=”exportToExcel” />

                </Toolbar>

            </headerToolbar>

            <columns>

                <Column minScreenWidth=”Tablet” demandPopin=”true”>

                    <Label text=”Label1″ />

                </Column>

                …..

    </columns>

            <items>

                <ColumnListItem id=”itemsID” vAlign=”Middle”>

                    <cells>

                        <Text text=”{odata>Attribute1}” />

                        <ObjectIdentifier  title=”{odata>Attribute2}” text=”{odata>Attribute13}”/>

                        <ObjectNumber number=”{path:’odata>Attribute14′, formatter: ‘your_Formatter’}” unit=”{odata>Attribute5}” /> 

                    </cells>

                </ColumnListItem>

            </items>

        </Table>

In controller, 

jQuery.sap.require(“sap.ui.core.util.Export”);

jQuery.sap.require(“sap.ui.core.util.ExportTypeCSV”);

//Add these 2 require.

exportToExcel: function(tableId, oModel)

{

    var cols = table.getColumns();

        var items = table.getItems();

         var cellId = null;

                headerColId = column.getAggregation(“header”).getId();

                headerColObj = sap.ui.getCore().byId(headerColId);

                headerColVal = headerColObj.getText();

                if(headerColObj.getVisible()){

                    json={name: headerColVal};

                    colArray.push(json);

                }

            }

            itemsArray.push(colArray);

          //push table cell values to array

                        if(j==0){

                            json={ name:  “\r”+cellVal};
