My problem now is to find a trick to redirect back to show after
downloading the file.
As a result, the client should ge a download dialog to store the file.
Instead of render :xls, use send_data with the correct options to
serve the file with disposition attachment (see the docs), this will
bring up the dialog box right away and you never have to redirect to
show, since a file download doesn't do a page refresh.
You'll need to implement the to_excel_2003 method to return a string
at the end that will constitute the contents of the file. It's up to
you to figure out which method of actually generating the string fits
your project best and implement it.
