Downloading a report directly to XLSX format

I have a request to have an APEX report download directly to the user in xlsx format instead of csv. I welcome any suggestions as to how this could be accomplished.
Maybe in a PL/SQL procedure?
Thanks

APEX doesn't support native Excel-Export. You can have a look here:

    Save Report Output to a PDF File
    This report takes another report as input, and captures the output of that report. The output is then converted to
    PDF and saved to a local file. This shows how to use some of the PDF function modules, as well as an easy way to
    create PDF files.

  • Help me to download my report in excel format.

    Here is my code below. On selection screen I am giving three inputs.
    And There are two radio buttons present on my selection screen.
    first one is for display the report.
    second button name is generate(to export the report).
    Clicking on the generate radio button will show the report.

  • Downloading interactive report to CSV

    Hi There,
    We are on apex 3.1.2.00.02. I have two questions...
    1. The interactive reports have a - (dash) in the columns with null. So when we download to excel the dash is still there... the user wants null. I can not find where it's been defined to put this dash in the report. Can someone help me figure out how to make this truly null?
    2. When we download the report in a csv format, it automatically opens in Excel (which we want); the tab name in Excel is something like... .csv]daily_bank_definition(1) If we try to rename the tab we get an Excel error about invalid naming format even if the new name is "valid". Is there a way to have the tabname set to what you want? Has anyone else seen this issue and have you been able to get around it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kristina

    Hi Kristina,
    To remove the dash from null columns you need to go into the Report Attributes and under Pagination you will see 'Show Null Values as '. Just remove the - from there.
    In order to change the tab name to what you want you will have to save the csv file first and remove the [1] from the name. You should then be able to change it.
    Regards
    Paul

  • Download alv report in excel format in Linux

    Hi All,
    I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
    Open Office.
    After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
    to download the report in excel format .
    Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
    the report is not downloaded in proper format.
    So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?

    Hi Vinod ,
    Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet
    It will ask for Directory and file name with .xls format . Give proper name e.g. test.xls and save, and after saving file right click on the file and click on Open with "OpenOffice.org calc".
    It will definetly work.

  • Error message downloading OBIEE Report to Excel "is in a different format"

    Dear experts:
    We just upgraded to 10.1.3.4.1 in our Dev environment and are seeing a pecuiliar behavior when we try to download a report to either "Excel" or "Excel 2000".
    After selecting Excel (or Excel 200) from the Download Link, we get the following message that pops up:
    The file you are trying to open 'Period Summary.xls' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
    We are then given the choice of Yes, No, or Help
    When I click Yes, the File does open, but why this message? I can see the users complaining about this message.

    I found the link to MSDN site which states that this is a "known problem" and MS will provide a fix at a future date.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/vsofficedeveloper/pages/Excel-2007-Extension-Warning.aspx
    Also, the following metalink documents address this: 780817.1, 759410.1
    This is the expected behavior due to security restrictions implemented in MS Office 2007
    Solution
    The following is the workaround for this issue:
    Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior of the Excel 2007 client in the following ways:
    Disclaimer from Microsoft: WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security
    Value: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening" = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]
    I have searched through OBIEE Oracle docs, but didn't find any mention of this issue.
    Has anyone seen any OBIEE workaround for this?
