Hi,

I'm generating a big report, it has 600.000 lines and I need export this report to Excel.

When I export, it's generated a XLS contains some tabs with 65535 lines. Is it possible to generate one tab with all lines in XLSX?

I'm used Birt 3.7.1.

Regards,
Marcelo

The default xls emitter does not support this. You will need to look at possibly using a different emitter.
Take a look at the last post in this thread:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/813294/
If you decide to replace the default xls emitter have a look at:

Thanks Jason,

How can I change the OFFICE VERSION? I'm using Birt 3.7.1 and generating XLS by servlet /frameset?__report=xyz.rptdesign&__sessionId=20121002_152444_075&__format=xls&__asattachment=true&__overwrite=false

options.setOption( IExcelRenderOption.OFFICE_VERSION, "office2007");

Regards,
Marcelo

I do not think that option is currently in the viewer. Can you try adding the following code to the beforeFactory script of the report?

importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api);
reportContext.getRenderOption().setOption(EXCELRenderOption.OFFICE_VERSION, "office2007");

The beforeFactory script did not work for me (Birt 4.2.2, nativexls emitter 1.0.0).

However, the viewer does have an option:
__excelRenderOption.officeVersion=office2007

this is not documented anywhere I could find, found out looking at the sources.

With the option the emitter generates xlsx formatted files, but still uses the xls extension for the file name. In order to change the extension name add the following entry to web.xml:
<context-param>
	<param-name>BIRT_FILENAME_GENERATOR_CLASS</param-name>
	<param-value>packagepath.XslRenamerFilenameGenerator</param-value>
</context-param>

And put this class in your sources:
import java.util.Map;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.utility.filename.DefaultFilenameGenerator;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.utility.filename.IFilenameGenerator;
public class XslRenamerFilenameGenerator extends DefaultFilenameGenerator implements IFilenameGenerator {
	public String getFilename(String baseName, String extension, String outputType, Map options) {
		return super.getFilename(baseName, "xls".equals(extension) ? "xlsx" : extension, outputType, options);
	}
}


This is explained in more detail here:
