Hi
desformat=spreadsheet can display objects only in the body area of Header, Main and footer sections. If the Header/footer sections is in the margin area then it wont display.
Thanks - Suresh

In my company the only workable and decently looking solution was an Excel converter that took specifically formatted reports generated by Oracle Reports in DELIMITEDDATA format and converted them into XLSX using Apache POI.
