Most end-users use Excel as a very generic tool, because of their familiarity and the control in analysing data using the power of MS Excel.
Customers request converting lot of reports to excel.
As you can imagine, converting all reports to excel is a mammoth task using BI (XML) Publisher.
There is a trick to capture Oracle Reports output (text output) into a excel sheet.
This trick uses the power of XML and MS Excel to format the data. This is trick is a simple and effective work around.
Basic Steps :
1) Set the output format for the report to XML
2) Run the report to generate output.
3) Save the output file locally as a XML file.
4) Open the file using MS Excel.
5) To make it more beautiful, you may use a MS Excel Template.
The Excel Templates can be used to do complex data analysis and formatting. Displayed example below is a simple excel template, to make the point.
Example :
Requirements :
Report to convert to Excel : Active Users Report
Expected Output :
Steps :
1) Set the output to "XML".
(In this case, to keep the sanctity of the system, I have created a new concurrent request with a different output type)
New Report with Output as XML :
2) Run the Report and Display the output
3) Lets save the XML output file in local PC. ( File->Save As).
Make sure the file is saved as a <file name>.xml file.
4) If we open the file using MS Excel, you can see the output.
5) To make it more to look like the Requirement, I first created a MS Excel Template ( *.xlt file) .
6) Apply the template to the excel output. Data->XML-> Import.
The Excel Template can be used to do comprehensive data analysis and formatting. Displayed above is a simple excel format to make the point.

Thanks for the article. I have got a doubt, I'm clear till point #4, where we open the .xml file using excel. After this using excel template..I'm a little confused. And also won't it be cumbersome if each and every report we need to do this manual procedure of opening with excel. I'm not aware of generating reports with excel output. Please guide me.
Thanks

The parameters of concurrent program "GLACTANP180XML " of application "General Ledger" use features which are only supported in Oracle Forms. This concurrent program may not be submitted from other environments such as OA Framework or PL/SQL APIs.
The number of warning messages: 2.

The parameter "Accounting Flexfield From" uses value set "GL_SRS_LEDGER_ FLEXFIELD" with validation type "Pair".
This type of value set is only supported in Oracle Forms.

An y idea how this can be resolved?
The article is good. Thanks for sharing. But this article is missing an important thing which everyone is struggling to get to - An Excel output based on Microsoft Excel via XMLP.
Any ideas on that?

Try to use native Excel templates :)
Welcome to xlspe.com
Hope this helps
Have you solved the question?
i also have this problem ,would you share the solution?
thank s
This takes more time the larger the organization is, sometimes even weeks.
Yet sometimes the business needs the report "right away".
I came up with a way to generate Excel output by creating the query and pasting it int the concurrent request definition.
No messy files, registrations, etc. It opens right in Excel and it takes as long to build as it takes to come up with the query.
Watch it at:

I have a issue with bursting the Excel formatted output of BI publisher report. If the size is less than everything works fine. If the output file size is 33 MB, i am not able to view the output in the request form and also bursting is not working. Can you please let me know if there is any restriction in the size of excel output for bursting.
Than ks in Advance
I have an rdf file. I created a concurrent request with output as XML.
I save the the output file as XXX.xml and open with excel. I get the data but I dont get the column headers.
Thank s,

Roxy Palace casino prompt play requires no software download in any way.
Once you have a very good really feel for the slot, it’s time
to start to wager barely greater amounts, making sure to take advantage of any given slots multiple paylines.
Previous analysis has shown that an illusory perception of
patterns in random sequences fuels chance matching: People have the false
impression that they "know" during which trials they should wager
on which slot machine - which is after all impossible given the
random order.
