Hello Experts,

I need to produce Excel spreadsheet from report builder.

currently I am getting a format like,

ProductID;Count;CountUnique;
1001;12;16;
1002;11;6;
1004;16;666;
1006;60;86;

This format when opened in Excel does not group in separate columns resulting in all getting mixed up.

I am looking a format like,

ProductID,Count,CountUnique,
1001,12,16,
1002,11,6,
1004,16,666,
1006,60,86,

This opens up clearly on excel. items like Product,Count
are shown on separate columns along with the value.

I am still looking into delimited formatting.

Thanks,

Hello Experts,

Is there a way to pass 'Delimiter' ',' in the report builder.
I only see parameters like :DESFORMAT, :DESNAME etc.

Currently I am using :desformat :='DELIMITEDDATA' and I need to pass ',' as a delimiter from the report itself.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

I would prefer you 2 method
• DESTFORMAT= you can choose PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS, RTF, XML, SPREADSHEET, DELIMITED, DELIMITEDDATA and try

or try this query

SELECT
ProductID || ',' || Count || ',' || CountUnique AS "DELIMIT_DATA"
FROM
your_table
;
-- DESFORMAT = dlft
-- DESNAME = you_file.txt
-- DESTYPE = file
-- MODE = character

regards,
