I try to export HTML table to Excel using JavaScript. Then I got this pop up before opening the Excel file:
"The file you are trying to open, [file_name.xls] is in a different
format than specified by the file extension"
This is my code:
var tableToExcel = (function () {
var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,',
template = '
'xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
' +'
',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 function (table, name, filename) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = { worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML }
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx));
a.download = filename + '.xls';
a.click();
}
})()
