We would appreciate if FP allows direct report generation in .xlsx format.
Currently, FP only supports .csv export. However, as .csv columns do not allow specifying a type, opening those files in external programs such as excel comes with some major drawbacks:
- Either those programs guess the type, which normally goes wrong for BARCODES. E.g. Excel is taking BARCODES columns with only digits as number. In case a BARCODE starts with a leading 0, Excel just skipping those leasing to a wrong BARCODE in the opened file (and subsequent processing steps)
- The correct way of importing .csv files normally takes very long as a type needs to be specified for each column.
Please, consider implementing this feature to make all our lives easier.
