Of course there is the option to export to a comma- or tab separated plain text file. But, as it seems a lot of content happens to contain commas or tabs as well, which makes the functionality completely useless :).<\/p>\n<p>So, thank god for the Java api.<\/p>\n<p>I recently made this simple command-line tool, that allows you to export the results of a simple CE query to excel, using java and Apache Poi. It performs at lightspeed compared to the FEM-csv export and requires minimal configuration.
