sap.m.Table: Ability to export to a spreadsheet (Excel, CSV, ...)

OpenUI5 version: 1.120.12

Hello!

Since OpenUI5 version 1.73, sap.ui.core.util.ExportTypeCSV is deprecated and the documentation indicates that ~sap.ui.core.util.ExportTypeCSV~ sap.ui.export.Spreadsheet should be used. However, this module is only available in SAPUI5.

In my opinion, since exporting a table's data to a spreadsheat is a commonly needed operation for a business oriented framework such as OpenUI5, it should support such an operation. It could be also used as a temporary work-around to print a table's data while this feature request is implemented (users could export the table to a spreadsheet and then print the data using another software, such as Excel, Google Sheets, etc.).

Thanks! Math

@mathlizee, in the body question, you mention sap.ui.core.util.ExportTypeCSV twice, is it a typo error?

BTW, https://github.com/SAP/openui5/issues/2629 is not yet implemented, it's in in progress stage, already for more than 2 years!

@pubmikeb You're right! I made a correction in the question's body.

As @pubmikeb mentioned, we already have this gap on our radar, as we have BLIs FIORITECHP1-13991 and FIORITECHP1-13992 on our backlog.

Unfortunately, the topic currently has not the highest priority and therefore has not seen any further development yet.

I know this answer won't satisfy you, but restricted capacity and other incoming high priority topics lead to a current hold of this topic.

I'll close this issue, as #2629 deals with the same topic and you can find updates there.
