Can Silent Partner Desktop Create Reports in Excel Format Other Than XLS?

Silent Partner Desktop can create reports in various spreadsheet formats, which the user can change and adjust as needed in the settings:

Next time you're creating a report, to produce a spreadsheet file version in addition to the print/PDF one, please check the corresponding radio button in the report printing dialog, where you will also be able to adjust the file name and location for the Excel report to be saved:
