one Oui/Non column per option, and matrix questions into one column per
row (value = selected option). Relies on the extension hooks added to
survey_xlsx.

survey_xlsx_extra_fields: bridge (auto_install) with survey_extra_fields

This module improves the **Survey Results XLSX export** provided by
``survey_xlsx`` for questions that can hold several answers.

By default such questions are exported as a single column containing every
selected value joined together, which is hard to analyse in a spreadsheet.
This module splits them into dedicated columns:

* **Multiple choice** questions (*multiple answers allowed*): one column per
  possible answer, with ``Oui`` / ``Non`` as value.
* **Matrix** questions: one column per matrix row, with the selected option
  as value.

.. warning::

   This module relies on report extension hooks that are **not part of the
   standard** ``survey_xlsx`` yet. They are introduced by this pull request:

   https://github.com/elabore-coop/survey/pull/1

   You must run a ``survey_xlsx`` that includes these hooks (the PR branch,
   until it is merged upstream). Installed against a plain ``survey_xlsx``,
   this module installs without error but the export **silently falls back**
   to the default one-column-per-question behaviour.

Usage
=====

Export the results of a survey as usual:

#. Go to *Surveys* and open a survey.
#. Print the *Survey Results XLSX* report.

In the generated spreadsheet:

* A multiple choice question ``Favorite colors`` with options *Red*, *Green*
  and *Blue* produces three columns ``Favorite colors / Red``,
  ``Favorite colors / Green`` and ``Favorite colors / Blue``, each containing
  ``Oui`` or ``Non``.
* A matrix question ``Satisfaction`` with rows *Dashboards* and *Customer
  relationship* produces two columns ``Satisfaction / Dashboards`` and
  ``Satisfaction / Customer relationship``, each containing the selected
  option (e.g. *Not satisfied at all*).

Other question types keep their standard single-column export.
