Quest Excel Viewer (qExcelViewer)

The qExcelViewer web part works together with the qListView web parts and enables the user to extract  to Microsoft Excel the current dataset on display in the qListView.

In fact, even though the qListView may well be displaying a subset of the possible columns available to display, on extraction to Excel, the entire record for each list item displayed gets transferred.  That is to say all columns of data in he record are transferred.

The way this works is via a "helper" page on which the qExcelViewer is placed.  The qListView web part is configured to make reference to the helper page and when the Excel link on the qListView is pressed the Excel helper page is requested, the qExcelViewer web part is executed and Excel opens displaying the data previously selected in the qListView.
