DXL - exporting modules to xlsx format

All,

 

I'm fairly new to dxl, and I was wondering if it was possible to export modules from DOORS into excel(xlsx) format.  I notice that this is possible in the module (File > Export > Microsoft Office > Excel).  One of my coworkers advise against this and outputting to csv.  My question is that is this possible?  And is there a way to export a specific view?

 

Regards,

DG

I haven't used it recently but if I recall this works pretty well for exporting from DOORS to Excel. Maybe worth playing around with it.

If you are asking about the export funtions supplied witth DOORS, the Microsoft Office / Excel export creates an Excel file, but the Export / Spreadsheet creates either a CSV (comma separated) or TSV (tabulator separted) values file.

If you are asking on how to do this in DXL, the Galactic Solutions Excel export is a fully realized DXL solution, but complex. For the CSV export you can search this forum.

For menu based exports you can select a specific view and DOORS functions (typically) will export everything in that view (objects / columns). If you are doing a DXL export script then of course the export can be either view column or module attribute based, sky is the limit.
