Return openpyxl workbook object as HttpResponse in django. Is it possible?

Question

I need to provide an excel formatted data from django\'s database to visitors.

The only way I can think of is with these steps:

1. Extract data from database.

Answer 1

this worked for me

from openpyxl import Workbook, load_workbook
from openpyxl.writer.excel import save_virtual_workbook

wb = Workbook()
...

response = HttpResponse(content=save_virtual_workbook(wb), content_type='application/ms-excel')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=Inform.xlsx'
return response
