Rails reporting: dead simple reports now supports excel directly

dead simple reports is a Ruby on Rails plugin that allows you to create reports from your application data within minutes. As of now it can not only generate HTML tables and CSV files but also M$ Excel spreadsheets. This is possible through the use of the spreadsheet-excel gem. You can grab a copy from the git repository or just download it from there.

    Hi

    i think iconv is part of ruby so requiring it is enough. spreadsheet/excel is a gem you can install like this:

    sudo gem install spreadsheet-excel
