Export HTML table to Excel in AngularJS

myApp.factory('Excel',function($window){
		var uri='data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,',
			template='<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>',
			base64=function(s){return $window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s)));},
			format=function(s,c){return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g,function(m,p){return c[p];})};
		return {
			tableToExcel:function(tableId,worksheetName){
				var table=$(tableId),
					ctx={worksheet:worksheetName,table:table.html()},
					href=uri+base64(format(template,ctx));
				return href;
			}
		};
	})
	.controller('MyCtrl',function(Excel,$timeout){
	  $scope.exportToExcel=function(tableId){ // ex: '#my-table'
			$scope.exportHref=Excel.tableToExcel(tableId,'sheet name');
			$timeout(function(){location.href=$scope.fileData.exportHref;},100); // trigger download
		}
	});

How to use:

	<button class="btn btn-link" ng-click="exportToExcel('#table1')">
		<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-share"></span> Export to Excel
	</button>

Hi, this works very well, but I'm having trouble getting it to work for larger tables. It works perfectly up to about 2100 rows. Any bigger and the download fails. Any thoughts on how to get around this?

@CliffyMk ,
Your code works after including id in table instead of div .
eg:

Instead of
.
and if the downloaded file doesnt open in apache open office just try changing extension name of your file to .xls

For IE please replace with window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, name);

Hi,

I want to export a table into xls. The size of the file is around 4MB - 5MB.
The script works fine in Firefox. But in Chrome, the export to excel button is redirecting me to about:blank page.

Any idea why?

getting issue: -

  1. 'The file format and extension of 'abc.xls' don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?' while opening downloaded file.
  2. Background is totally white. Not showing grids with black border. Do I need to give styling inside code?

Please help.

working code snippet (use raw javascript instead of jquery)

tableToExcel: function (tableId, worksheetName) { var table = document.getElementById(tableId); var ctx = { worksheet: worksheetName, table: table.innerHTML }; var href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx)); return href; }

but thanks for the snippet.

AngularJS working version with all of the above

    angular
        .module('app')
        .factory('excel', ['$window', '$document', function($window, $document) {
            var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,';
            var template =
                '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>';
            var base64 = function(s) { return $window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))); };
            var format = function(s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function(m, p) { return c[p]; }); };
            return {
                tableToExcel: function(tableId, worksheetName, fileName) {
                    var table = angular.element($document[0].getElementById(tableId));
                    var ctx = { worksheet: worksheetName, table: table.html() };
                    var browser = window.navigator.appVersion;
                    if ((browser.indexOf('Trident') !== -1 && browser.indexOf('rv:11') !== -1) ||
                        (browser.indexOf('MSIE 10') !== -1)) {
                        var builder = new window.MSBlobBuilder();
                        builder.append(uri + format(template, ctx));
                        var blob = builder.getBlob('data:application/vnd.ms-excel');
                        window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, fileName);
                    } else {
                        var link = $document[0].createElement('a');
                        link.download = fileName;
                        link.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx));
                        link.click();
                    }
                }
            };
        }]);

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get rid of the security pop up? It's Microsoft's desired behavior per this post

Anyone able to get custom CSS working for this solution?
Update: answering my own CSS question... CSS must be inline for it to persist

HI,
Could you give me some reference of html template for Excel that you have used above example. So that I can customise it according to my requirement.

Thanks

@vamsikrishna007

Neerajchhatani

Just include only column names and their values. If you are using any dropdown, then take the value of that which is stored in the Scope variable.

This work in IE, Edge, FF and Chrome. Test on IE11.309.16299.0, Edge 41.16299.248.0, FF 59.2.3, Chrome 65.0.3325.181. Hope this help.
But it doesn't work in chrome when the file exceed 2Mb. It's very easy to hit 2Mb when the html consists of a lot of html.

Working fine in Firefox. But not fully working in chrome... if the file size is more its redirecting to blank page.

Any solution?

muadib commented Mar 30, 2019

if the code for download with a custom filename don't work in Firefox, change the else part in tableToExcel with:

var link = document.createElement('a');
link.setAttribute("type", "hidden"); // hide link
link.download = fileName;
link.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx));
document.body.appendChild(link); //Required for Firefox
link.click();
link.remove();

And add in template, before </head>
<style><!-- table {mso-displayed-decimal-separator: "\.";mso-displayed-thousand-separator: "\,";} --></style>
For specify thousands separator and decimal separator.
