Generate Microsoft execl format from developer report

Question

how can i generate my report in excel format. MY cliec=nt needs me to give them my oracle report in microsoft excel soft copy.
how do i do this pls

Answer 1

One way to do this would be to use PL/SQL from a button on the report. In the when-button-trigger add something like:
procedure ExcelButtonAction is
FileHandle text_io.file_type;
FileLine varchar2(4000);
path varchar2(200);
cursor cur_year is
select table_name, column_name from all_tabcolumns;
begin
path := win_api_dialog.save_file('list_of_tables.csv','Select save location and filename ','C:\TEMP');
-- open the file
FileHandle := text_io.fopen(path,'w');
-- make 1st line of file the titles of the column so user will now what the data represents in EXCEL
text_io.put_line(FileHandle,'Table Name'||','||
'Column Name');
-- loop through the cursor and write to the file
for rec in cur_year loop
FileLine := rec.table_name ||','||rec.column_name;
text_io.put_line(FileHandle,FileLine);
end loop;
-- now close file
TEXT_IO.fclose(FileHandle);
exception
when others then
text_io.put_line(FileHandle,sqlerrm);
srw.message (200,sqlerrm);
TEXT_IO.fclose(FileHandle);
end;
Hope this helps.
