Download reports from multiple forms at once
Export entry notes along with entries
Transpose data (instead of one entry per-row, it would be one entry per column)
Attach entry exports to notifications

\n\n

Export Gravity Forms submissions as CSV

Add search filters to the URL

Once you have your download URL, you can easily filter by date range and field value.

\n","downloaded":401356,"faq":"\n

\nI don’t want the metadata like ID, date, and IP in my file\n\n

No problem. You can use the gfexcel_output_meta_info or gfexcel_output_meta_info_{form_id} hooks to disable
\nthis feature. Or (since version 1.4.0) you can select individual fields you want to exclude on the settings page.

Just add this to your functions.php:

add_filter( 'gfexcel_output_meta_info', '__return_false' );\n

\nI want to rename the labels, but only in Excel, how can I do this?\n\n

Sure, makes sense. You can override the label hooking into
\n gfexcel_field_label, gfexcel_field_label_{type}, gfexcel_field_label_{type}_{form_id} or
\n gfexcel_field_label_{type}{form_id}{field_id}

The field object is provided as parameter, so you can check for type and stuff programmatically.

\nHow can I change the value of a field in Excel?\n\n

You can override the value by hooking into gfexcel_field_value, gfexcel_field_value_{type},
\n gfexcel_field_value_{type}_{form_id} or gfexcel_field_value_{type}_{form_id}_{field_id}

The entry array is provided as a parameter, so you can combine fields if you want.

\nCan I separate the fields of an address into multiple columns?\n\n

Great question! Yes you can! You can set it on the settings page, or make use of the following hooks to get that working:
\n gfexcel_field_separated_{type}{form_id}{field_id} where every variable is optional.

\nI have a custom field. Can your plugin handle this?\n\n

Yes it can, in multiple ways:

The default way the plugins renders output is by calling get_value_export on the field.
\nAll Gravity Forms fields need that function, so make sure that is implemented.
\nThe result is one column with the output combined to one cell per row.

But you can also make your own field renderer, like this:

Make a class that extends GFExcel\\Field\\BaseField (recommended) or extends GFExcel\\Field\\AbstractField or implements GFExcel\\Field\\FieldInterface
Return your needed columns and cells by implementing getColumns and getCells. (See AddressField for some inspiration)
Add your class via the gfexcel_transformer_fields hook as: type => Fully Qualified Classname (e.g., $fields['awesome-type'] => 'MyTheme\\Field\\MyAwesomeField')

\nHow can I change the downloaded file name?\n\n

By now you really should know you can change almost every aspect of this plugin. Don’t like the name?
\nChange it using the settings page, or by using the gfexcel_renderer_filename or gfexcel_renderer_filename_{form_id} hooks.

Also you can update title, subject and description metadata of the document by using
\n gfexcel_renderer_title({form_id}), gfexcel_renderer_subject(_{form_id}) and
\n gfexcel_renderer_description({form_id}).

\nCan I change the sort order of the rows?\n\n

Sure, why not. By default, we sort on date of entry in ascending order. You can change this, per form,
\non the Form settings page (GravityExport Lite) under “General settings”.

\nI want to download directly from the forms table without the URL!\n\n

You’re in luck: for those situations we’ve added a bulk option on the forms table.
\nAs a bonus, you can select multiple forms, and it will download all results in one file,
\non multiple worksheets (!!!)

\nHow can I disable the hyperlinks on URL-only cells?\n\n

You can disable the hyperlinks by using the gfexcel_renderer_disable_hyperlinks-hook.

//add this to your functions.php\nadd_filter('gfexcel_renderer_disable_hyperlinks','__return_true');\n

\nMy numbers are formatted as a string, how can I change the cell type?\n\n

A number field is formatted as a number, but most fields default to a string.
\nAs of this moment, there are 3 field types. Boolean,String and Numeric. You can set these per field.

//add this to your functions.php\nuse GFExcel\\Values\\BaseValue;\n\nadd_filter('gfexcel_value_type',function($type, $field) {\n    if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {\n        //Possible values are 'bool', 'string' or 'numeric',\n        //or, use the constant, preferred:\n        return BaseValue::TYPE_NUMERIC; //TYPE_STRING, TYPE_BOOL\n    }\n}, 10, 2);\n

\nI’d like to add a hyperlink to a specific field\n\n

Since most values are Value Objects, we can interact with them, and trigger a setUrl function on a value.

//add this to your functions.php\nadd_filter('gfexcel_value_object',function($value, $field) {\n    if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {\n        $value->setUrl('https://wordpress.org');\n    }\n}, 10, 2);\n

\nI’ve added some notes, where are they?\n\n

By default the notes are disabled for performance. If you’d like to add these to the row you can activate this like so:

//add this to your functions.php\nadd_filter('gfexcel_field_notes_enabled','__return_true');\n//or\nadd_filter('gfexcel_field_notes_enabled_{formid}','__return_true'); // e.g., gfexcel_field_notes_enabled_2\n

\nHow do I add colors? It’s all too boring in Excel.\n\n

Definitely! You get to change: text color, background color, bold and italic. If that is not enough, maybe you should add clip art!

//add this to your functions.php\nadd_filter('gfexcel_value_object', function (BaseValue $value, $field, $is_label) {\n    // Need to know if this field is a label?\n    if (!$is_label) {\n        return $value;\n    }\n\n    $value->setColor('#ffffff'); //font color, needs a six character color hexcode. #fff won't cut it here.\n    $value->setBold(true); // Bold text\n    $value->setItalic(true); // Italic text (to be combined with bold)\n    $value->setBackgroundColor('#0085BA'); // background color\n\n    // $field is the GF_Field object, so you can use that too for some checks.\n    return $value;\n}, 10, 3);\n

\nI don’t have enough memory!\n\n

Yes, this can happen. Unfortunately, this isn’t something that can be fixed without modifying your server configuration.
\nAs a default, WordPress allocates 40 MB of memory. Because the plugin starts the rendering pretty early, it has most of it available.
\nBut every cell to be rendered (even if it’s empty) takes up about 1KB of memory. This means that you have (roughly)
\n 40 MB * 1024 KB = 40,960 Cells. I say roughly, because we also use some memory for calculations and retrieving the data.
\nIf you’re around this cell-count, and the renderer fails; try to upgrade the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT. Checkout WooCommerce’s Docs for some tips.

\nCan I hide a row, but not remove it?\n\n

You can hide a row by adding a hook. Checkout this example:

add_filter('gfexcel_renderer_hide_row', function ($hide, $row) {\n     foreach ($row as $column) {\n         if ($column->getFieldId() === 1 && empty($column->getValue())) {\n             return true; // hide rows with an empty field 1\n         }\n     }\n     return $hide; // don't forget me!\n }, 10, 2);\n
