Hi All,
Currently stumbling through a PB migration using Appeon at the moment and just trying to figure out the best solution for exporting complex DW Reports into Excel Files. A lot of what I am doing is proof of concept to see how much of our App we want to deploy, etc.
In our desktop app we use pb2xls DLL & dw2xls PBL for exporting our DW reports to excel. We allow the users to set options to determine the level of 'WYSIWYGness' of the file, i.e. let pb2xls split and merge cells based on visual layout. They can also disable this so that the Excel file is more usable by reducing the number of merges and splits.
To cut a long story short, I am just wondering if anyone else has used pb2xls/dw2xls in an Appeon deployment or should I look to some alternative method?
One thought I had was maybe encapsulating the functionality in a webservice, but unsure how to pass the populated DW through to it.
Any thoughts or comments appreciated, as always.
Michael
