Hi Anil/Tony,

When setting up the template we opted for RTF as the type, however this will need to be amended at run time using the Options... button prior to submitting the Concurrent Request.

Once clicking on the Options button, you should see the template you have assigned to this concurrent request, you will need to change the format from PDF/RTF to EXCEL. Click OK and submit your concurrent request.

This should then allow you to open the output directly into Excel.

Hi,

Thanks for posting such useful information.

I tried the same and it is working .

I have a small doubt in this.
I have set the viewer text at my user level.
But when I login as different user and use
tools-->copy , i am getting viewer option.
What should I do that it will not affect any other users?

It will also be useful if you explain the different levels wherein the viewer option can
be set.

Hi Anil,

I got the solution, thanks for the patience,
I am getting the Excel Output now, but with a white background(as the template is rtf and has a white backgroud), How can we avoid this white background

Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,

You can amend the background on your .rtf document which will then change how the excel spreadsheet looks.

Thanks

Hi Anil,

Is there anyway we can set default Preview mode from PDF to excel so that while submitting XML report for excel output we need not to go to option screen to set Format as excel.

Thanks,
Vineet

Hi there

I have been stuggling to get reports to output to an Excel spreadsheet for some time, so I was hoping this would solve my problem. Still no luck. Output file is empty. PDF output is fine, so process/template is not the problem. Is XML publisher version relevant to the solution? According to Metalink Note 358296.1, Excel output problem is a bug that has been solved in version 5.6.1. I am working on version 5.0.1

Anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers

Hi Anil

Sorry for the delay in replying but thanks for the feedback. Will be upgrading XML Publisher soon. Then will retry.

And glad to have you in South Africa. It was great to share tech info with you. Hope you will return someday.

Cheers
Michele

We get asked this a lot as well. Does anyone have any ideas? As far as I know it is not possible.

Thanks!

Hi,

Once I had my friend calling me of such requirement to work on a Oracle report. They wanted the o/p to be displayed on Excel rather than on the browser. They did not have Excel installed as an option in Install- Viewer Options. It was an older version of EBS where there was no XML publisher.

Solution: Once the report o/p is generated, Just ask the user to Save the o/p file as .csv. This would resolve the issue.

It works irrespective of user.It is a simple solution. But those were old days, but now since we have XML Publisher in place, I would defintely like to try and explore ways suggested by you all.

Thanks,

R C Pandre

Hi
Currently I am developing a XML report.This is my first XML report. I have a requirement to pass a parameter for order by from the concurrent program. I designed the template in RTF format. Everthing is working fine. But, I have no idea how to create a dynamic sort in XML report. If anyone has any idea please share with me.

Thanks in advance
