  1. This is what I am exactly looking for to solve the problem. There are slightly differences between your steps and my steps. I installed the Export2Excel app first., so I skipped step 1 to step 6 from your instruction.

  2. I am extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.
