Use .xlsx Excel templates in BI Publisher
Description
Currently only .xls Excel templates are available. The idea is to support .xlsx Excel templates as well in BI Publisher.
Use Case and Business Need
If .xlsx templates are supported, all new features in Microsoft Excel can be used. For example the Auto Save function in combination with OneDrive.
It would also become possible to use password protection for the Excel output generated from these Excel templates.
See the following idea: https://cloudcustomerconnect.oracle.com/posts/5d863e2d1f
As mentioned there: Excel output in .XLS format generated from Excel templates do not support password protection.
More details
It is currently not possible to use password protection for Excel output generated from .xls Excel templates.
Also, new Excel features like AutoSave are not available when working with .xls Excel templates.
