marcosr, 
 
You have two options. Since the web viewer BIRT currently does not have  
an Excel emitter, you can either save the resulting page in HTML as open  
in Excel, or you can export the data in CSV format and open in Excel. 
 
The first option, you will have to manually cut and paste the results of  
the report. The end result is not very pretty. The second option, when  
you Run a report in Eclipse, in the resulting Report Viewer, there is an  
option to export data in CSV. 
 
If you need this to run in some sort of script, you will need to follow  
the example of how to run a BIRT report from the command line either on  
the BIRT website or on my  
blog( http://digiassn.blogspot.com/2006/07/birt-birt-report-schedu ling-without.html).  
Since CSV is not really an option through that route, you can output to  
HTML and open the resulting HTML file in Excel. Or you could write a  
custom app that just outputs a CSV using the Report Engine API. 
 
Hope that helps, 
John
