  • If everyone who visits this idea upvotes it, hopefully, that will speed things along. Looking forward to this feature in a future release soon!

  • its a very good idea Oracle should consider it. I have just upvoted it.

  • How many years we have to wait to get this useful upgrade?

  • It's just ridiculous that I have to make a RTF template to get XLSX output, with al kinds of issues and challenges I have to find workarounds for, like empty lines if I want to dynamically create sheets in a for-each group and not being able to use defined names. While the Excel template only facilitates XLS. Please do something about this, thanks!

  • @Oracle product development team.. is this on your product roadmap at all? Are you ever going to make xlsx compatible with BI reports?

  • It seems Oracle just can't do it, as there is no response from any oracle development team member or product portfolio manager.

  • @Oracle product development team.. this will be really helpful, if we can have .xlsx template in BI

    There are several customers waiting for this upgrade and is there a reason why Oracle could not prioritize this?

    I do not have input on this topic. So, I have forwarded your question on to the Product Manager that owns this functionality.

    Thanks

  • Please Oracle - We need you to develop support for xlsx format.
    This xls format constraint is very difficult for us to manage.
    I am speaking as a team lead of data development of a bank and I have at least 3 cases I can provide that happened recently that this xls format made my team do all sorts of ugly workarounds.
    This is mainly due to the 2^16 (65536) row limit.
    Please -this is very important.
    Is there any plan to add this feature in the near future?

  • @Chris Borsh-Oracle Can you share the @ for the product manager so that we can engage with them directly on the forum about this?
