Title: Possible to generate excel report instead of rtf?
Post by: raymondsing on June 27, 2014, 07:21:49 pm

Hi,
One of the sub-menus of the pop-up menu "Documentation" is "Rich Text Format (rtf) Report".
I wonder whether it is possible to generate into excel format instead.

I would like to generate documentation of database tables directly into excel.

Or is there a proper way to achieve what i want?

thanks.

You can't get anything to Excel through the reporting / documentation functions.

What you can do is export (and import) to CSV, which Excel can then read. This export is much more primitive and can only output element information (not connectors, diagrams, operations or attributes), but if all you need is the basic information associated with all elements (name, notes, etc) this should be enough.

If you need more than that, you can look at the third-party extension eaDocx, I know that can do Excel.

Or as always you can roll your own with a script or an Add-In.
