The SQL 2 Excel Module can be configured in many ways.

You can filter the reports that you want to see to certain Sections and/or Categories if needed. You can configure the link to go directly to the download, or to a Preview of the spreadsheet.

You can publish the module any module position you like. Or you can even embed the module inside the content, like I've done below using the  Modules In Content plugin.

Two instances of the SQL 2 Excel Module are embedded in the page below. One is configured to take the user to a preview before download. The other module is configured to download the Excel file directly when you click on the link. Please note that you do need to install the Module in order to display the configured Worksheets/Workbooks in the SQL 2 Excel Component backend.

Click on the links in the two modules above and see the different behaviour.


The two modules shows the same two Workbooks. For detailed information how these Workbooks were defined, please see:
