I have never used BIRT before and considering to use it in my new project. However, user specifically requires export of report to Excel, and the office standard is Office Excel 2007. I don't see anywhere in the release notes that BIRT allows this. Please confirm if this feature is available?
BIRT's native excel emitter supports 2003 xml format, but does not export images or charts. There are a lot of extensions out that improve the xls format that can be used to replace the standard xls format, for example the tribix emitters. On birt-exchange there are a couple of xls emitters for BIRT as well. BIRT also supports open office formats.
BIRT's is a native excel and it really supports 2003 xml.. and it does not exports images and charts.. but on the availability of birt in pojo based run time is great.......!!!!
