export pulldown inputs in excal

Post by codadi »

I need to export pulldown inputs into excel using php. Are any libraries available(free/pay)? Or at least can you tell me if this feature is implemented, best conventions to represent somehow this pulldown in excel?
Thank you.

I searched through his methods, but couldnt find any which will generate a pulldown. You can create the worksheet, with cells, grids, formulas etc, but no inputs generation(checkbox, pulldown, radio). For the checkbox and radio, I could make an convention to represent them, and easy to understand them, but for a pulldown is quite nasty. I mean a pulldown with 100 options, not nice for displaying. So I need the functionality of the excel inputs, but I need to create them from php.
