Is there a way to support multiple worksheets in a BIRT report? I have
found nothing conclusive. Supposedly eSpreadsheet provides this feature
but we are looking for an open source solution and want to use the
existing BIRT Report Engine. I was thinking it may be possible to generate
multiple BIRT reports and export them into individual Excel files then
open those files using Apache POI and get the individual worksheets. Then
create a master Excel file and add the individual worksheets. I know this
is a more programmatic appraoch but it may work for the time being. Until
support for multiple worksheets in BIRT is available.

Kyle,

Your solution is the only one I am aware currently.

Jason,
I ran into an issue with my stated approach. It seems that the XLS
Emitter that is shipped with BIRT 2.3.2.1 is generating the report in
Excel 2003 XML format. Apache POI only supports OLE 2 and OOXML format. (I
checked various other Java Excel APIs and none have support for Excel 2003
XML format) Basically Excel Binary and OpenOfficeXML format. Is there a
way to have the BIRT XLS Emitter generate the report in either of these
formats, optimally in a Excel Binary format? I noticed that the
EXCELRenderOption object has a method to set the version of office but I
am not sure if this will change the output format of the generated report.
Any advice in this regard?

-Kyle

Kyle,

The emitter uses spreadsheetML which you should be able to do with a xml
writer. If you want an idea on it checkout the ExcelWriter.java class
from the excel emitter.
