Tribix emitter in BIRT 3.7

Vik

Hi

To reduce the size of our excel reports, we used the Tribix emitter instead of the default birt xls.

But, the formatting has completely gone for a toss. The default Birt xls is perfect but the one generated from Tribix emitter is not formatted properly.

We are using BIRT 3.7.

Is there some option in the API, which takes care of the formatting?
Any suggestions as to how we can get the xls from Tribix to look like the one generated from BIRT(default), especially the formatting?

Regards

Hi Vik,<br />
<br />
Somebody has posted an enhanced version of the BIRT's default emitter which can output in Native excel files supporting images also.<br />
<br />
Go have a look: <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/1421-native-excel-emitter-plugin-for-birt/'>DevShare</a><br />
<br />
I have tried it, it works fine.<br />
