I'm not sure if this is going to help anyone , but if you're stuck at that point of the tutorial , try to drop the "Export Collection Action Listener" onto the menuItem "Export To Excel" not under it;
So the xml under the source tab should look something like this :
<f:facet name="menus">
<af:menu text="My Options" id="m2" detachable="true">
<af:commandMenuItem text="Export To Excel" id="cmi1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener type="excelHTML"
exportedId="t1"/>
</af:commandMenuItem>
<af:commandMenuItem text="Show Specials" id="cmi2">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId=":::p1"/>
</af:commandMenuItem>
</af:menu>
Hope this helped somebody .
