Laravel Excel is shit and has shit documentation as well. PHPExcel may not be as pretty as a bunch of callbacks but it's more efficient and actually gets the job done.

    @C0D4 Nothing fancy. Some small tweaks to an old project. One of those tweaks include fixing an export-to-excel function so the averages it outputs are calculated by Excel's native functions.

    @nitnip wow. I’d just calculate it and then dump it to file.

    But having excel calc it after the fact 🤷‍♂️

    @Omnisus Yeah, it's deprecated. PHPSpreadsheet should be better since they don't have to deal with PHPExcel's codebase but I haven't tried it yet.
