Saving Data in excel file (.xlsx) from Data Load Editor

[devrajR]

Hello, 

I am trying to export data into excel file (with .xlsx) as extension. The file gets created but gives the error (attached below). 

The script I am using is: 

STORE Output INTO [\\FolderPath\Output.xlsx];

I also tried:

STORE Output INTO [\\FolderPath\Output.xlsx] (txt);

But neither of statements seems to work. When I save as .csv, the file gets saved properly. But, I need to save file as .xlsx.

Is there a solution to this issue? Or does Qliksense not support .XLSX? 

Thanks,
Devraj

Qlik Sense does support exporting data to Excel with the .xlsx extension. However, the syntax of your STORE statement appears to be incorrect.

Instead of using the file extension (.xlsx) in the file path, you should use the file format option in the STORE statement. Here's an example of how the correct syntax should look like:

STORE Output INTO [lib://FolderName/Output.xlsx] (ooxml, embedded labels, header is 1 row);

In this syntax, "ooxml" specifies the file format as .xlsx. You can also use "xls" for the older .xls format.

Make sure to replace "FolderName" with the name of the folder where you want to save the Excel file.

Additionally, you can include additional options like "embedded labels" and "header is 1 row" to specify how the data should be formatted in the Excel file.

Hi @Chanty4u 

Thanks for you reply,

I tried using the syntax you mentioned, but it gives syntax error. It highlights the ooxml part in red.

Thanks,

The STORE statement supports only two formats: QVD and txt (csv).
