Title: Export to other programs
Post by: nghuutuyen on October 12, 2014, 02:57:55 PM
Maybe the question has been asked but I really wanted to also ask you again: Why FET timetable does not export to Word or Excel file format?

Because:

1) Print from FET and export to HTML and CSV I think is enough, I don't want to complicate things.

2) Word and Excel are not available to all the users, they are not free software. Also, the data format is (was?) not well documented. Also, I have no experience to export to these formats.

And maybe other reasons, which I will write here if I remember.

FET can export to CSV. Excel can read CSV.
But if you want pretty Excel you can use FET's HTML - you can open it with Excel.

You can also open the FET html tables with Word. Just go to "Word/Excel -> File -> Save as" and then save them in the native format if you need a Word or Excel file.

You can use "Excel FET file import 2010 Marco Albano ver 2.0" to extract timetable in Excel or the one made by me:

The first exports all data to Excel, the second only the matching between teachers and students (but it works with incomplete timetables too)
