Hi,
I am using BO 5 version where i want to convert some .rep files to Excel.
I want to convert them using Macro.Can someone provide me a macro which does the conversion.We are able to use the ExportAsPdf method but not able to see ExportAsExcel…Do we need some plugins for Excel method?

The utility does probably all what can be done in BO 5.x version in terms of saving a report into a XLS format.

If you need to preserve the layout of a report then you need to upgrade to a higher BO version where saving into a XLS format is supported.
