Export report to XLSX
Um die exportierten Daten ohne Umformatierungen verwenden zu können, wäre eine Excel-Formatausgabe hilfreich. Gute Lösung z.B. in myHours:

Hm... I've heard before that Excel doesn't open CSV files. Is that right? Can't you just do right click -> "Open with..." or whatever Windows calls this? 😅
I'm not too flexible on time right now, but I guess it would require pulling in a library that can write Excel binary files and adding a button to invoke that library. So actually quite a good task for someone who wants to contribute ... 😉
I among other things also tried this, but unfortunately it doesn't work. When I open the CSV, I am directly in the table and cannot do anything with the values. If I save the export as TXT, I can select which font and which separator should be used when opening in Excel. This works so far. Unfortunately, however, the hourly values with a dot are then interpreted differently, so that the values are changed and can no longer be used. If a comma had been used instead of a period, the result would probably not be distorted. All in all, unfortunately, a bit cumbersome and also unusable.
I must say, I use german installations of Excel, so the values are in a different condition as in english spoken countries.
So maybe changing the decimal separator based on user locale could fix some of the issues maybe 🤔
