Hi homeopat,

I have question. I need export data do xls file and I need save it with dynamic file name like date in filename.
is there any way how to do it?

Hi Homeopat,

I don't see any way to do that in the Export action = you could use Custom Code to rename the file after it is created though.

Hi Homeopat,

On the server, before it is downloaded - Joomla! has classes that make this simple to do.
