Use DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048.pdf
Page A-33
(Command line only) The report output is sent to an HTML file that
can be directly opened with Microsoft Excel 2000. You can generate
spreadsheet output from the paper layout of reports saved in any
format (.rdf, .jsp, .xml). See Usage Notes.
Page A-34
When DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET, the report output preserves the rich layout
formatting such as colors, fonts, conditional formatting, graphs, and images. For
detailed information about how different report objects are generated in a report
run to DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET, see "About Spreadsheet Output" in the Oracle
Reports online Help (and also in the "Advanced Concepts" chapter in the Oracle
Reports Building Reports manual).

Repeating headers in PDF report but not in Excel format?

Is it possible to have repeating headers on PDF output format, but not if the report output is Excel ?

If the report is simple, i.e. it only contains a single table, then you can add some header rows at the top of the table.
+-----------------------+
| Page Header 1         | }
+-----------------------+ }
| Page Header 2         | }
+-----------------------+ }
| Page Header 3         | }
+-----------------------+ }--Repeat as header row at
|      <Blanks>         | } the top of each page
+-----------------------+ }
|      <Blanks>         | }
+-----------+-----------+ }
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | }
+-----------+-----------+
| Data 1    | Data 2   |

SAP ALV report scheduling background in excel format

Hi Gurus,
We are using SAP 4.7 and using different SAP reports.Now I want to send SAP ALV report in excel format directly from SAP in background.Now we send these reports in background weekly by using autimetic scheduling but this is PDF format.Now I want to change this pdf format to excel format.In SCOT T.Code I am able to find any excel format.Please help me out.
I am waiting for your reply.
Advance Thanks
Nirmal

"Something" has to do the conversion to excel, it will not work without programming.
If you display a grid the data is sent via OLE to the frontend where excel is started and displaying the data. If you run a program in the background there is no terminal connection and hence no excel and hence no conversion.
What you can do is that you display the data as raw data and send it as attachment - but then people need to import and convert themselves.

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks
Vijay

Send ALV report as attachment in EXCEL format

Hi SAP Guru,
I had a report output as ALV format.
Currently, when the background job ended, it would be send out to the recipent thru SAPconnect as PDF format using internet mailing address.
I tried to search for a configuraiton for EXCEL output but there don;t seems to be any option availble.
I can only choose from PDF/TEXT/HTM/PS in the output document type selection in SOST.
How can I configure to allow the system to send out the ALV report to my recipent in EXCEL format instead of PDF or HTML?
Thanks

Hi,
By Using OOPS Concept you can send ALV Output as Excel Format by using Class Interface: CL_BCS.
Do some search on CL_BCS.
There are some demo Program, sreach for BCS* on SE38.

Report from SQL Query -Excel format only show the first page

Hi,
I have some Reports from SQL Query. In the display options, I choose Excel as default format. The Excel documents only show the first page. If I choose HTML as default format, it shows every rows.
Please advise on how to have a complete Excel document as HTML format does.
Thanks a lot.
Lina Han

I beleive when you export Oracle reports to Excel it is the Data that is transferred along with Column Names.
You cannot export the variables defined on the report.
Hence you will not be able to export the Footer to excel. (Still looking into it will let you know if i find anything interesting)

Multipage PDF different layouts export to Excel format

Problem how to convert 24 page file with different layouts on each page to
clean Excel spreadsheet layout. Column layout returned is a mess and could
be resolved if individual PDF pages or selected parts of page could be
exported. I can send source file for examination.

Hi Napier,
Unfortunately, Reader doesn't offer the ability to split a file, but you could download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat and use that to split the file.
As for the file that isn't converting properly, I'd like to invite you to submit the file to Adobe using the File Conversion Issue form. While we can't promise an individual response to all file submissions, collecting files like your will help us improve the quality of our online services.

Oracle Reports in Excel format

Hi ,
The environment of my company consist of an ERP system developed using Oracle Forms 4.5 and Reports 2.5. Now, due to increase in business activities, there is a lot of requests from user for reports in Excel sheet.
Our company is planning for Oracle ERP Rel 12....and it is under process of analysis..due to which there is no chance of upgrade to latest Developer Suite.
As of now, to fulfill user requirements of Excel based reports...what do you think is best and permanent solution?
Is there any plug-in or Business Process or Business Intelligence application llike ORACLE BI Spreadsheet plug-in..which meets our demand.
Please suggest ....As of now provide users with options to run the report and generate output in HTML format, from there, they copy it to Excel..but this process is not at all user friendly and feasible.
I appreciate your valuable suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello Omer,
we use Oracle Reports for generating PDF reports, but to generate Excel files we use a free implementation of Microsofts XML-spreadsheet format. In my eyes the best solutions are
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or
https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/
