Excel is still a lot of peoples’ favorite tool. Now you can use it in combination with BIRT too!
For a lot of people, Excel is the business intelligence tool par excellence and it can be used by almost anyone. A lot of reporting systems do limit this use. But the TRADUI Native Excel Plugin for BIRT changes this. Buffers process the data in the report for Excel. This method allows the selected data from an existing report to be used continuously, instead of having to develop a new report. It saves time and money. There are only a few steps necessary to generate an Excel sheet.
Automating Tasks
BIRT generates several documents when creating a report: PDF, XML Word, XML Excel, XML Powerpoint. During this step our plugin additionally creates a native Excel document.
Simply optimize processes
With our Native Excel Plugin you can create a budget overview and output this as a PDF, but additionally create an Excel file containing detailed and raw data not included in the PDF. Creating this report is not only faster but it saves a lot of processing power and network capacities.
Independent from BIRT
By integrating a specific Excel functionality it is possible to separate the report layout for PDF, HTML and Word from the Excel Layout. This is important since the report layouts for the PDF output and that for the Excel output vary significantly in most cases. This plugin is part of our Excel Outputmanager which is also able to create CSV files.
