Creating a dropdown in an exported end-user dataset

Maleeha

I have created a report that is downloaded as an excel and stored into a fileshare. This reprot is then shared with external stakeholders for feedback. I would like this feedback to be in a column with a dropdown of options.

Due to the volume of stakeholders, I cannot do this for each report manually and would like to understand if I can configure this in Dataiku and have the dropdown available as part of the export/ stored file.

The built-in export to Excel option does not support this level of customisations. However Dataiku being a "clickers" and "coders" tool allows you to produce pretty any sort of output programmatically since it supports Python which is has an extremely rich and diverse open source package library. A quick web search reveals this SO post which points to the openpyxl Python package as way to programmatically generate Excel files which can have drop down columns.
