Export to Excel​

This release adds the ability to export reports to Excel (XLSX) format. While Excel readily imports CSV format as provided by the existing export feature, it doesn't consistently detect the appropriate data type for columns containing numbers and dates, which can make it difficult for users to reference report data in formulas, charts, etc. This new export option produces a file comparable to the existing CSV export, but in native XLSX format with the additional metadata to help Excel correctly detect the data type of each column.

Labs feature

Export to Excel is currently a Labs feature, meaning it is considered to be a work-in-progress. While the feature should be quite stable and usable, we are interested in user feedback to help further polish the experience in upcoming releases.
