I'm facing same issue too. I can see images in doc, pdf, HTML formats but not with xls. I don't know what is the reason.

If I find any potential solution, I'll let you know.

Hi,

Its the same issue for us too, images are not getting exported to excel output. Did you find the workaround or some solution to this ?

Thanks

Same problem for me as well. Is there are a BIRT update planned to make this possible?

I am not getting the URI images displayed in PDF & Excel. Where as the same are displayed in html. I am using birt 2.3.1

Does anyone know what could be the reason for not getting the images in the PDF atleast?

I believe my images have always shown up in PDF - did you check for possible visibility settings on the image or its cell?

As to Excel, the experts can correct me on this but I don't think the Excel emitter supports images. The Excel emitter is writing an XML file that matches a Microsoft spec for data interchange. My guess is that spec doesn't know about images, or the emitter code just doesn't deal with them.

I wish it did - I've got a situation where we want to push the chart images into the Excel spreadsheet.

While exporting output in excel format the content in the table gets crops as column doesnot occupy height or width as per the content.

when the container is table then going into the Master Page Tab and selecting the page width / layout / orientation properties as per required and accordingly accomodate the table. content in column can be adjusted in excel output.

But when above table is in Grid It becomes difficult to accomodate the content in column of excel table

This can be resolved by using cellInstance / cellHandle from BIRT ROM API on fetch or on render event
