MAS Manage - Report Data availability in single sheet for xlsx format on download

For any BIRT Report having multiple pages in Maximo Manage, the data is also being split into Multiple Sheets in the excel if we are downloading using XLSX format after executing the Report in browser. 

Since many of the Users are using the xlsx version of MS Excel for daily work activities as being the latest format supported, downloading the complete data in XLSX format will help the users to view or further work on the data. Else it is tedious job to copy paste all the data from various sheets into single sheet.

As we understand that there is dependency on third part software BIRT, we would request for inclusion on xlsx format along with xls format  to view the data in single sheet. Currently it is working for xls format, since it is not much used by the Business Users and xlsx format support would greatly help.

Steps to replicate the scenario is as follows -

1. Login to Maximo Manage and open Labor or any relevant application
2. Click on the Run Reports on the List Tab
3. Select the Labor Qualification Report or any valid report
4. Select the Status as ACTIVE and click on Submit button
5. Once the Report opens on the new tab, click on Export Report option
6. Select the Export Format as XLSX type
7. Click on OK button
8. The Report gets download and the data shall split into different tabs on the excel.
9. Requirement is to have all the records in the same tab.

    Thank you for your request. This is not something that we are able to prioritize for MAS Manage in the next several releases.
