    @Thank-You said in How can I export QTableView to Excel file (*.xlsx):

    Sorry I can't understand python at all

    Well that's a shame, because when I was doing Python Qt I had to adapt all examples from C++, which I managed. The important part here is really just https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtexttableformat.html. The example code is self-explanatory, and dead easy to convert, IMHO. Up to you what effort you want to make.

    Can you send me link where there is information for printing all the data in C++

    What information for "printing all the data in C++"?

    @JonB Ya its bad
    But I don't want to learn python in any way
    I don't like it at all and mainly while using QT at least for now

    I mean if you know about c++ code for printing QTableView then send me link
    I searched today for many hours
    It would be very helpful

    Let's make QT free or It will go forever

    TRUE AND FALSE <3

      Since I wrote the code I gave you myself, I'm hardly going to know about some other C++ equivalent. You don't have to know any Python to figure it. Best of luck.

        @Thank-You
        Still depends on how much control over the printed output you wish to exert. For example, exporting to a .csv is *much * easier, but you'll end up with just column data imported into Excel, not, say, column widths, or font bolding or whatever. Only you know how much you need.

        BTW, do you know that you want to export to Excel to do printing? When I wanted to print a QTableView, although I offered an option to export to Excel I actually wrote code to just print off the QTableView inside Qt program. By "converting" it to a QTextDocument, which gives you HTML/PDF printing without external programs. I was quite happy with that result, without resorting to Excel or actual PDF commands. But again depends on just what you wish to achieve.

          No, it's in Python too.

            This link worked but
            I have tableview with 30 columns
            So Data break there

            Its so important
            I am continiously searching this for whole day

              Hi
              It's quite different to export to CSV versus actually printing to a pdf as with
              CSV file the number of columns doesn't matter but with actual printing, you have the page limits to consider.

              So do you need actual printing (PDF) or is data export just fine ? ( CSV)
              With CSV you will get a file which you have to print using excel or other app than can import CSV file.

                @mrjj Ok its fine but I want to export
                https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3147030/qtableview-printing
                This actually worked but all the data do not fit here

                If You know how to do it then suggest me
                Else suggest me to export in .csv file

                Let's make QT free or It will go forever

                  Hi
                  For actual printing, your only option is to reduce the font size to try to make it fit to paper.
                  Maybe also set it to landscape mode. But it sounds like it really cant fit if you have 30.
                  Page wrapping on width is hard with a table. (IMHO)

                  For export to CSV. you can use
                  https://github.com/VSRonin/QtModelUtilities
                  it has a nice exporter

                    CVS is a US pharmacy chain, don't think they accept any exported files... ;-)

                      hehe thx
                      Yes I always swap those letters for some odd reason.
                      And to make it more ironic, Excel uses tabs for its COMMA separated files pr default :)

                        @mrjj I believe this is due to internalizations, as commas are used (in some regions) as decimal point where as you have a hard time typing a tab in excel in the first place :D


                        Be aware of the Qt Code of Conduct, when posting : https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct


                        Q: What's that?
                        A: It's blue light.
                        Q: What does it do?
                        A: It turns blue.

                          hehe yes im pretty sure it has a very valid reason and function and was more aiming
                          at the ironic part, that format didn't really follow the name :)
