Undesired Excel column merging in v4.7 [message #1806234] Mon, 06 May 2019 16:05

I have an embedded BIRT report under Eclipse which provides the Excel output attached. Multiple pages appear in one sheet (tab) and the columns in the BIRT report appear in separate columns in the spreadsheet, as you would expect. This is with BIRT version 4.2.2 with output in *.xls format.

I want to upgrade to BIRT version 4.7 so that I may output my report in *.xlsx format. So now with the same Java code on the same report, the pages appear in separate sheets (even though options.setEnableMultipleSheet(false), so I don't understand this option). And the individual BIRT table columns are merged together, as shown in screen shot. WTF? This makes no sense to me.

Can someone suggest how I can get back the original desired behavior in my report?

Here's the pertinent Java code fragment to set up the emitter:
EXCELRenderOption options = new EXCELRenderOption();
options.setEnableMultipleSheet(false);
options.setOutputFileName(outputfilename);
options.setOfficeVersion("office2016");
options.setWrappingText(true);
options.setOutputFormat("xlsx");
task.setRenderOption(options);
