marcosr,
You have two options. Since the web viewer BIRT currently does not have
an Excel emitter, you can either save the resulting page in HTML as open
in Excel, or you can export the data in CSV format and open in Excel.
The first option, you will have to manually cut and paste the results of
the report. The end result is not very pretty. The second option, when
you Run a report in Eclipse, in the resulting Report Viewer, there is an
option to export data in CSV.
If you need this to run in some sort of script, you will need to follow
the example of how to run a BIRT report from the command line either on
the BIRT website or on my
blog( http://digiassn.blogspot.com/2006/07/birt-birt-report-schedu ling-without.html).
Since CSV is not really an option through that route, you can output to
HTML and open the resulting HTML file in Excel. Or you could write a
custom app that just outputs a CSV using the Report Engine API.
Hope that helps,
John
