Hi all, our client needs WebFOCUS reports can be open as the actual Excel Workbook, not opening in Excel within a Web browser.

How to generate an Excel Workbook (version 2010 or 2016) when you run the report in WebFOCUS, which is a binary file?

Thanks!

Try this:

ON TABLE SAVE FILENAME YOUR_FILENAME_HERE FORMAT EXL2K OPEN

Many other ways. as well; try the SEARCH key in the banner, search on compound report

Although, your sig says you are on 7.1.7, so, you'll have to figure something out, if, that is the actual version you are on.

This also works in 8:
  
TABLE FILE IBISAMP/CAR
SUM
   RETAIL_COST
   DEALER_COST
  BY COUNTRY
  BY CAR
 ON TABLE HOLD AS BASEAPP/test_car FORMAT XLSX OPEN
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE IBISAMP/CAR
SUM
   RETAIL_COST
   DEALER_COST
  BY COUNTRY
  BY CAR
  BY MODEL
 ON TABLE HOLD AS baseapp/test_car FORMAT XLSX CLOSE
END
-RUN
EX EDAGET XLSX,baseapp/test_car,b
-EXIT

I'm not sure exactly when it occurred in Version 8 (from the beginning?), but EXL2K and XLSX are now synonyms. Styling commands etc. sometimes work differently there though versus EXL07, so keep your eyes open.

And of course I got this exactly backwards. EXL07 and XLSX are now synonyms. EXL2K is older (2000)and acts differently.
