Different output, different format

dianbo

I use jsapi to access reports deployed in iserver express.

First, is it true that svg or png chart can not output into Excel file?
Second, flash chart can not expert correctly nearly every format except html.

I want to know is there any way to define different format for different output.
For example, i want to expert flash chart when the output format is html and png chart for other formats.

thanks.

Hi dianbo,

It is true that charts from a BIRT report do not output when exporting into XLS format today.

For your other question, yes, you can use the visibility property to conditionally show/hide charts based on the output. Take a look at the enclosed example where the FLASH chart shows up for HTML output, a regular chart IMAGE for PPT, DOC, and PDF, and no chart for XLS.
