SpreadsheetRails

SpreadsheetRails provides a template handler for ActionView to render Microsoft Excel workbooks like any view. This was heavily inspired by Prawn::Rails (https://github.com/Whoops/prawn-rails).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'spreadsheet_rails', git: 'git://github.com/jdrnetworking/spreadsheet_rails.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Create a view template named [action_name].xls.spreadsheet

spreadsheet_document(options) do |workbook|
  workbook.create_worksheet name: 'My Great Worksheet'
end

You can also override the default workbook class (Spreadsheet::Workbook):

spreadsheet_document(renderer: MyWorkbook)

and then create your workbook class:

class MyWorkbook < Spreadsheet::Workbook
  def initialize(io = nil, options = { default_format: Spreadsheet::Format.new })
    super
    create_worksheet name: 'Another Great Worksheet'
  end
end
