Download table to spreadsheet - uitableview

Question

I have a sap.m.Table created. I need to download it to excel.
For that I have followed this sample. Yet the file, although exported, it only contains the titles of each column, rows seem to be kind of known by the file but cells are empty (check image below).
In my controller I have the following:
onExport : function () {
var oTable = this.getView().byId("lineItemsList"),
oRowBinding, aCols, oSettings, oSheet;
oRowBinding = oTable.getBinding("items");
aCols = this.createColumnConfig();
oSettings = {
workbook: {
columns: aCols
//hierarchyLevel: 'Level'
},
dataSource: oRowBinding,
fileName: "WBS Elements.xlsx"
//worker: false // We need to disable worker because we are using a MockServer as OData Service
};
oSheet = new Spreadsheet(oSettings);
oSheet.build().finally(function() {
oSheet.destroy();
});
},
Then the Column Config in controller:
createColumnConfig: function() {
var aCols = [];
aCols.push({
//label: 'Nivel',
property: "Level",
type: EdmType.String,
});
aCols.push({
label: "WBS Element",
property: "WBS Element",
type: EdmType.String,
});
aCols.push({
property: "Description",
type: EdmType.String
});
aCols.push({
property: "Basic Start",
type: EdmType.Date
});
aCols.push({
property: "Basic Finish",
type: EdmType.Date
});
aCols.push({
property: "Actual Start",
type: EdmType.Date,
});
aCols.push({
property: "Actual Finish",
type: EdmType.Date
});
aCols.push({
property: "Plan PoC%",
type: EdmType.Number
});
aCols.push({
property: "Act PoC%",
type: EdmType.Number
});
aCols.push({
property: "Plan Cost",
type: EdmType.Number
});
aCols.push({
property: "Actual Cost",
type: EdmType.Number
});
aCols.push({
property: "Budget",
type: EdmType.Number
});
aCols.push({
property: "Curr. Year Budget",
type: EdmType.Number
});
aCols.push({
property: "Status",
type: EdmType.String
});
aCols.push({
property: "Currency",
type: EdmType.String
});
return aCols;
}
And last, the table definition in XML View (took away toolbar definition and other stuff so to focus on relevant):
<semantic:content>
<Table
id="lineItemsList"
width="auto"
items="{
path: '/ItProjWbsSet',

You need to use as property name the exact same string as it is called in your viewModel/oData service.
aCols.push({
label: "Actual Cost"
property: "ActualCost", // Needs to be property name
type: EdmType.Number
});
For the budget it already matched and therefore a '0' was shown in the excel.
