Export entries using a secure URL

When you configure a new export, the plugin will generate a secure download URL that you can share with anyone who needs the data (No need to log in!). Reports will automatically update as new entries are added.

GravityExport Lite includes many features:

  • Limit access to downloads—either make a URL public or require users to be logged-in with correct permissions
  • Download reports from multiple forms at once
  • Export entry notes along with entries
  • Transpose data (instead of one entry per-row, it would be one entry per column)
  • Attach entry exports to notifications

Export Gravity Forms entries directly to Excel (.xlsx)

Export your entries directly to .xlsx format. No more wasting time importing your CSV files into Excel and re-configuring columns.

Export Gravity Forms submissions as CSV

If you’d prefer to have your reports generated as CSV, GravityExport Lite makes it easy.

Add search filters to the URL

Once you have your download URL, you can easily filter by date range and field value.

Configure export fields

Save time generating exports in Gravity Forms: Configure the fields that are included in your CSV or Excel export. No need to set up every time!

Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

  1. Upload gravityexport-lite to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to Forms > Select a form > Settings > Results in Excel to obtain your URL
  4. Download that Excel file!

FAQ

I don’t want the metadata like ID, date, and IP in my file

No problem. You can use the gfexcel_output_meta_info or gfexcel_output_meta_info_{form_id} hooks to disable
this feature. Or (since version 1.4.0) you can select individual fields you want to exclude on the settings page.

Just add this to your functions.php:

add_filter( 'gfexcel_output_meta_info', '__return_false' );

I want to rename the labels, but only in Excel, how can I do this?

Sure, makes sense. You can override the label hooking into
gfexcel_field_label, gfexcel_field_label_{type}, gfexcel_field_label_{type}_{form_id} or
gfexcel_field_label_{type}{form_id}{field_id}

The field object is provided as parameter, so you can check for type and stuff programmatically.

How can I change the value of a field in Excel?

You can override the value by hooking into gfexcel_field_value, gfexcel_field_value_{type},
gfexcel_field_value_{type}_{form_id} or gfexcel_field_value_{type}_{form_id}_{field_id}

The entry array is provided as a parameter, so you can combine fields if you want.

Can I separate the fields of an address into multiple columns?

Great question! Yes you can! You can set it on the settings page, or make use of the following hooks to get that working:
gfexcel_field_separated_{type}{form_id}{field_id} where every variable is optional.

I have a custom field. Can your plugin handle this?

Yes it can, in multiple ways:

The default way the plugins renders output is by calling get_value_export on the field.
All Gravity Forms fields need that function, so make sure that is implemented.
The result is one column with the output combined to one cell per row.

But you can also make your own field renderer, like this:

  1. Make a class that extends GFExcel\Field\BaseField (recommended) or extends GFExcel\Field\AbstractField or implements GFExcel\Field\FieldInterface
  2. Return your needed columns and cells by implementing getColumns and getCells. (See AddressField for some inspiration)
  3. Add your class via the gfexcel_transformer_fields hook as: type => Fully Qualified Classname (e.g., $fields['awesome-type'] => 'MyTheme\Field\MyAwesomeField')

How can I change the downloaded file name?

By now you really should know you can change almost every aspect of this plugin. Don’t like the name?
Change it using the settings page, or by using the gfexcel_renderer_filename or gfexcel_renderer_filename_{form_id} hooks.

Also you can update title, subject and description metadata of the document by using
gfexcel_renderer_title({form_id}), gfexcel_renderer_subject(_{form_id}) and
gfexcel_renderer_description(
{form_id}).

Can I change the sort order of the rows?

Sure, why not. By default, we sort on date of entry in ascending order. You can change this, per form,
on the Form settings page (GravityExport Lite) under “General settings”.

I want to download directly from the forms table without the URL!

You’re in luck: for those situations we’ve added a bulk option on the forms table.
As a bonus, you can select multiple forms, and it will download all results in one file,
on multiple worksheets (!!!)

How can I disable the hyperlinks on URL-only cells?

You can disable the hyperlinks by using the gfexcel_renderer_disable_hyperlinks-hook.

//add this to your functions.php
add_filter('gfexcel_renderer_disable_hyperlinks','__return_true');

My numbers are formatted as a string, how can I change the cell type?

A number field is formatted as a number, but most fields default to a string.
As of this moment, there are 3 field types. Boolean,String and Numeric. You can set these per field.

//add this to your functions.php
use GFExcel\Values\BaseValue;

add_filter('gfexcel_value_type',function($type, $field) {
    if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {
        //Possible values are 'bool', 'string' or 'numeric',
        //or, use the constant, preferred:
        return BaseValue::TYPE_NUMERIC; //TYPE_STRING, TYPE_BOOL
    }
}, 10, 2);

I’d like to add a hyperlink to a specific field

Since most values are Value Objects, we can interact with them, and trigger a setUrl function on a value.

//add this to your functions.php
add_filter('gfexcel_value_object',function($value, $field) {
    if($field->formId == 1 && $field->id == 2) {
        $value->setUrl('https://wordpress.org');
    }
}, 10, 2);

I’ve added some notes, where are they?

By default the notes are disabled for performance. If you’d like to add these to the row you can activate this like so:

//add this to your functions.php
add_filter('gfexcel_field_notes_enabled','__return_true');
//or
add_filter('gfexcel_field_notes_enabled_{formid}','__return_true'); // e.g., gfexcel_field_notes_enabled_2

How do I add colors? It’s all too boring in Excel.

Definitely! You get to change: text color, background color, bold and italic. If that is not enough, maybe you should add clip art!

//add this to your functions.php
add_filter('gfexcel_value_object', function (BaseValue $value, $field, $is_label) {
    // Need to know if this field is a label?
    if (!$is_label) {
        return $value;
    }

    $value->setColor('#ffffff'); //font color, needs a six character color hexcode. #fff won't cut it here.
    $value->setBold(true); // Bold text
    $value->setItalic(true); // Italic text (to be combined with bold)
    $value->setBackgroundColor('#0085BA'); // background color

    // $field is the GF_Field object, so you can use that too for some checks.
    return $value;
}, 10, 3);

I don’t have enough memory!

Yes, this can happen. Unfortunately, this isn’t something that can be fixed without modifying your server configuration.
As a default, WordPress allocates 40 MB of memory. Because the plugin starts the rendering pretty early, it has most of it available.
But every cell to be rendered (even if it’s empty) takes up about 1KB of memory. This means that you have (roughly)
40 MB * 1024 KB = 40,960 Cells. I say roughly, because we also use some memory for calculations and retrieving the data.
If you’re around this cell-count, and the renderer fails; try to upgrade the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT. Checkout WooCommerce’s Docs for some tips.

Can I hide a row, but not remove it?

You can hide a row by adding a hook. Checkout this example:

add_filter('gfexcel_renderer_hide_row', function ($hide, $row) {
     foreach ($row as $column) {
         if ($column->getFieldId() === 1 && empty($column->getValue())) {
             return true; // hide rows with an empty field 1
         }
     }
     return $hide; // don't forget me!
 }, 10, 2);

Facilita la gestión y automatización de exportaciones, gran complemento
May 7, 2021
I installed the plugin and it has made a huge difference in my output files, no more converting an excel on my own after the fact. Can’t wait for the pro version! And Support is just Awesome. In this day and age great support is crucial, The Gravity Forms Entries in Excel team have gone above and beyond for sure. Cheers Doeke!
March 31, 2021
The developer went out of his way to help me figure out the “single entry” issue. I wanted to use Gravity Forms to develop a simple calculator and email the results in an Excel spreadsheet to the person who submitted the form. I would never have figured this out without the help of Doeke. He’s the best!!!

  • Feature: Wrapped values in value objects, so we can be more specific in Excel for cell-type-hinting
  • Feature: NumberField added that uses the NumberValue type for Excel
  • Feature: Added filters to typehint cell values. See FAQ for more info.
  • Enhancement: updated cell > URL implementation. Each cell can be set individually now. See FAQ for more info.
  • Upgraded to PHP 5.6 for minimal dependency. Last version with PHP 5.3 was 1.2.3
    (sorry for the mix-up, the new renderer forced my hand, and I forgot about this, otherwise the versioning had gone up sooner.)

1.2.4

  • Enhancement: moved away from deprecated PhpExcel to PhpSpreadsheet (Thanks @ravloony).
  • Enhancement: composer.json update to wordpress-plugin for easier installation with bedrock.
  • Enhancement: Metadata now uses GFExport to get all metadata; so a row now has all metadata. Can still be disabled.
  • Feature: New ListField transformer. Splits list fields into its own Excel columns, with newline-separate values per column.
  • Feature: New meta fields transformer. Special filter hooks for meta fields with gfexcel_meta_value.
  • Feature: New meta subfield transformer for date_created. Use gfexcel_meta_date_created_separated to split date and time in 2 columns.
  • Bugfix: Plugin hooks later, so filters also work on bulk-download files.

1.2.3

  • Bugfix: Worksheets could contain invalid characters, and break download.
  • Last version to use PHP 5.3

1.2.2

  • Enhancement: If a cell only contains a URL, that URL is set as a link on that cell, for easy access.

1.2.1

  • Translation: Added Dutch translation + enabled possibility to translate via WordPress.org. You can help me out!
  • Enhancement: Worksheets now have a title, and of course a gfexcel_renderer_worksheet_title hook.

1.2.0

  • (Very cool) Feature: Download Excel output directly from forms table, and (drumroll), download multiple forms in one file!
  • Feature: Added gfexcel_field_disable filter to disable all fields you want. Fields will be filtered out before handling.
  • Feature: Added gfexcel_output_rows and gfexcel_output_columns filters to have more control over output. Thanks @mircobabini.
  • Feature: Added a setting for sort order per form. Also contains some hooks to override that work!

  • Feature: Download counter (starts counting as of this version)
  • Feature: SectionField added to disable empty section columns. Disabled by default. Enable with gfexcel_field_section_enabled hook (return true).
  • Feature: FileUploadField added to disable file upload columns. Enabled by default. Disable with gfexcel_field_fileuploads_enabled hook (return false).
  • Update: Wait until plugins are loaded. Need to be sure Gravity Forms is active. This caused a problem in some multisite implementations.
  • Bugfix: Changed the permalink registration so that it works with multisite combined with the GF API (thanks for the assist @zitomerh). No need to reactivate the plugin now.
  • Bugfix: In Standard URL permalink structure, the hash wasn’t escaped properly
