The Report (Excel) action will output a report in Microsoft Excel format. The standard Report (Excel) action is presented to the users as an option labeled “Spreadsheet” under Reports action group. The action is highlighted in the picture below.

Activating the action will produce a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel format. The file will open in the default spreadsheet viewer associated with .xls extension.

Note that Microsoft Excel is not a typographically precise format – PDF or TIFF formats provide the highest quality and precision of output.

The Report (PDF) action functions exactly like the Report action. It produces a report using Microsoft Report Viewer in PDF format.

This is the standard Report (PDF) action available by default in all data controllers.
