Chain Method column does not support nil values about acts_as_xlsx

[randym]

Hi @enriquetuya

If this is a one off case, I would just put a 'supplier_name' method on your model that basically does:

def supplier_name
  supplier.nil? ? 'foo' : supplier.name
end

and use 'supplier_name' in the column spec.

If you have many of these 0..1 relationships, or you are making fairly complex reports, I'd recommend using axlsx directly and authoring data providers in your app so you dont clutter up your models with report context specific methods.

Thanks for the answer @randym , I ended up forking up the project and adding the support for nil associations.

@enriquetuya you should make a pull request of this

@westonganger I have migrated from act_as_xlsx to axlsx_rails it is based on "axls". The true is that when using rails 4.2 I started having too many issues with act_as_xlsx. Hope this helps!
