It seems like the package doesn't offer that I this time but maybe you could do something like this.

• Create a wrapping view that you can pass some parameters to, such as a target row number, column number and inner view to include.

  Excel::create('New file', function($excel) {
  
      $excel->sheet('New sheet', function($sheet) {
  
         $sheet->loadView('path.to.wrapping.view')->with(["targetRow"=>5,"targetCol"=>10,"targetView"=>"path.to.target.view"]);
  
      });
  
  })->download();
  

• Dynamically generate a table based on the parameters provided to the wrapping view. The content of the view could be something like this.

  @if(isset($targetRow) && isset($targetCol)) table tag @for ($row = 1; $row <= $targetRow + 1; $row++) tr tag @for ($col = 1; $col <= $targetCol + 1; $col++) td tag @if($row == $targetRow && $col == $targetCol) @include($targetView) @endif close td tag @endfor close tr tag @endfor close table tag @endif

But if the view has nested table, excel report can't create nested tables. – Issi
