I'd like FME to support writing data to Excel Tables (Issue # FMEENGINE-37822)

Related products: FME Form

I just follow this tutorial (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/34364/using-a-template-file-when-writing-excel-data.html) try to write data to Excel table and found looks difficult, see attached image, write to Named Range in Excel looks perfect. Thank you.

A bit more information about Excel Tables:

 

 


A table is a special structure in an Excel document. It has filter cells on the headings and special formatting for the cells. In excel, you can specify a table and then as you add data to it, the formatting expands to each column or row added. See here for an example: http://www.excel-easy.com/data-analysis/tables.html


You can create a template excel file with a table but you have explicitly know the Rows/Columns that you need or the formatting will not be applied to all the data.


But if we do not know ,how many rows or columns will be in the output bcs it depends on the input file,may be the input
changes.so i think,we should do sth.relates to count rows and column to generate Excel Table output as we required
