Hi Vladimir,

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but you can export report data to a CSV file through the BIRT Report Viewer by clicking on the Export Data button. Also, there is an example on how to create a CSV report rendering extension in the book, "Integrating and Extending BIRT (The Eclipse Series)," which can be found on Amazon.com.

Hi, mwilliams 
 
I have tried successfully use the CSV emitter in Birt Designer. Is there any way to deploy that on Birt Web Viewer, so that the output can be CSV files by run command like following: 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8080/run?__report=sample.rptdesign&_format=csv'>http://localhost:8080/run?__report=sample.rptdesign&_format=csv</a> 
 
Kind Regards

Hi Charlie,

As long as you have the CSV emitter plugged into the BIRT web viewer, that should work.
