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

    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.

    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?
