How do I export AEM reports in Excel? - aem

Question

I'd like to to export AEM reports, page activity or component activity reports, in an excel file.
Is this feature is available in AEM or do I have to write custom for this?

Answer 1

The closest you will get is a CSV selector that can convert report data to CSV but even that has limitations (pagination, filters may be ignored depending on the report).
This, AFAIK, is not an OOTB function. There are old posts and blogs out there to show how this can be done on bpth client side (using JS) or server side using CSV writers.
If you are going down the route of writing a custom solution (most likely outcoume), have a look at the CSV text library that is used in acs-commons user CSV import/export utility, that makes the job really easy and is already a part of AEM.
Hope this helps.

The WriteExcel class simply takes the List collection that is used to populate the JTable object and writes the data to an Excel spreadsheet.
This class uses the Java Excel API. The Java Excel API dependency that is required to work with this API is already in the POM dependencies section.

You can follow the steps described here: Adobe Forums
Select your required page to see component report at http://localhost:4502/etc/reports/compreport.html
Now hit the below URL. It gives you JSON output. http://localhost:4502/etc/reports/compreport/jcr:content/report.data.json
Copy paste the generated JSON output at below URL and click on JSON to excel http://www.convertcsv.com/json-to-csv.htm

You need to write your own logic
create a servlet,
construct Table with data
in the response object add below lines
response.setContentType("text/csv");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + reportName + ".csv\"");
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("fileDownload", "true");
cookie.setMaxAge(-1);
cookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(cookie);
once click on the button you will get the report in the Excel format.
