Multiple Sheets

To allow the export to have multiple sheets, the WithMultipleSheets concern should be used. The sheets() method expects an array of sheet export objects to be returned.

namespace App\Exports;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\Exportable;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithMultipleSheets;

class InvoicesExport implements WithMultipleSheets
{
    use Exportable;

    protected $year;
    
    public function __construct(int $year)
    {
        $this->year = $year;
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function sheets(): array
    {
        $sheets = [];

        for ($month = 1; $month <= 12; $month++) {
            $sheets[] = new InvoicesPerMonthSheet($this->year, $month);
        }

        return $sheets;
    }
}

The InvoicesPerMonthSheet can implement concerns like FromQuery, FromCollection, ...

namespace App\Exports;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromQuery;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithTitle;

class InvoicesPerMonthSheet implements FromQuery, WithTitle
{
    private $month;
    private $year;

    public function __construct(int $year, int $month)
    {
        $this->month = $month;
        $this->year  = $year;
    }

    /**
     * @return Builder
     */
    public function query()
    {
        return Invoice
            ::query()
            ->whereYear('created_at', $this->year)
            ->whereMonth('created_at', $this->month);
    }

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function title(): string
    {
        return 'Month ' . $this->month;
    }
}

This will now download an xlsx of all invoices in 2018, with 12 worksheets representing each month of the year.

public function download() 
{
    return (new InvoicesExport(2018))->download('invoices.xlsx');
}
