Hello,<br><br>I agree that such a tool would be very useful for many people. In my work I frequently have to collect environmental variables in a GIS and then export them to Excel/Calc for processing. To be able to this quickly with a few clicks would save me (and many people) a lot of time and patience. <br>
<br>In ArcGIS this is only possible via the XtoolsPro extension (which is partly free), which directly exports the attribute table to a Excel spreadsheet ( <a href="http://www.xtoolspro.com/tools.asp#e5">http://www.xtoolspro.com/tools.asp#e5 </a>). I used ArcGIS for several years and during that time users kept asking ESRI to include the extension in core, with no success.<br>
<br>This is obviously a detail for QGIS development, but for many end users like me, it makes a LOT of difference. Sometimes small details like these play a huge role when it comes to decide to start using a software.<br>
<br>Best regards<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 10:06 AM, Giovanni Manghi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:giovanni.manghi@gmail.com">giovanni.manghi@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Hi Andreas<br>
<br>
> Who else would be interested in such functionality?<br>
<br>
this is one of the features qgis users/trainees ask more around here. So<br>
I guess that if they represent a part of the qgis users universe, such<br>
feature will interest quite a lot of people :)<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
