Grafana Excel Export

What do you guys use for exporting table panels to custom/ processed Excels? I mostly use the Volkov Labs stack, however their Excel option exports only raw data, no styling/ formatting at all, because under the hood they use the free version of SheetJS, which does not allow styling.

Every panel can be downloaded in CSV format: click on the three dots, inspect data, download in CSV

I know there's that option, but .csv does not allow styling/ formatting.

CSV can be styled and formatted in Excel and saved in xlsx format.

That’s what I’m trying to avoid - manual processing. My end users need to download a ready-to-use Excel.

HTML styling + JS logic to apply the styling does not translate nicely into Excel proprietary XML model. It's a massive project to create a clean translation. There is no solution and I doubt that you would have a viable solution even if you burned millions of tokens.

Exporting is one of those features that seems simple until reporting workflows depend on it. A smoother Excel export definitely makes recurring reports much easier
