Create report as both Crystal and Excel

We have a report that queries Oracle and uses Crystal Reports to make a report. The users would like the output as both a Crystal Report and Excel. Yes, I know they can output the results of the report to Excel. Is there any (reasonable) way to automatically provide both output formats? The reports are run in Business Objects Enterprise.

I see the output format is set in the BOE Central Managament Console for the report under Schedule/Format. That makes it look like the option is one or the other, not both.

Solution

  • You can create a new publication and add this report, it will allow you to have both crystal report and excel formats on the email as attachments in BOE. Hope this helps.
