Hii Guys,

I want to create excel report using excel buffer. Also I want to run that report on global search in business central.

For example :- I want to show student list. i.e. ,No, Name, Address.

    I don't recommend to use the Excel Buffer, it seems way to complex to achieve a simple Excel layout.

    Instead create a report, with a normal dataset and then add an Excel layout to it.

    Here are some examples/tutorials:

    Hi, just adding some info, hope this helps as well.

    Excel Buffer: https://yzhums.com/4180/

    Excel Layout: https://yzhums.com/23873/

    But as Steven mentioned, these two methods are independent and generally don't mix. Excel Buffer is only used to export data and cannot correspond to the layout. So it is recommended to use Excel layout.

    Thanks.
